well if daz has anything like poser's parenting this is how it works

load your naked female base  I use V4 and then your male base, ergo for me  M4.

Set both bases to  Zero pose so the bodies overlap each other.   some sex set have a set figures to Zero pose option

Next, pick the male figure and set the male sex pose.  Then select the female figure and use the pose set for her.

Now they should be in the right position ...  now Parent the female figure to the male figure so that if you select one of the other sex poses for the male and female , the two figures should retain the new poses 

when your done, select the female base figure and go to parenting and set None or Universe at least that is how it done with poser

In daz they shouldn't need to do these steps, just pretty much load the pose on each of the figures and then do some small adjusting to the rotations.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Here is some more detailed information

• Yes I am using DazStudio instead of Poser
• I have the correct models for the correct Poses. For example, I am using Genesis 8 male and female and the poses I have purchased are aligned with those characters.
• I know how to for example ,select the Genesis 8 female and put her in a doggystyle pose (based off the pose I have purchased). My issue comes when I add the male, sometimes he is just way out of position. Granted if I have to play/adjust the position to get him right behind her then that is fine. I just figured if there was an easier way or a way to load both poses (male and female) at the same time so they would already be in line together.
• Also, I ask is there any tutorial on creating XXX content? Just the basics such as a step by step process to uploading your figures and puting them in the XXX (M/F or F/F, etc...) poses?

Once again thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty new at this but I do have a little experience modding games but not to the point of creating content.

The couples poses that I have bought here never seem to have any problems pairing the figures up in a good approximation of where they're supposed to be, assuming that you have not moved them from their default loading position. If you have, they may not load properly. This applies to sets from Thunder3D, Layla, Lazzy Dog, Ostwind, and so on. Forgive me if I left any out. ;)

Now, unless you are using a set of default figures, you may still, hell, you WILL have to move them around a bit to get everything to line up. I never, ever, ever make a scene with a default figure, not ever. My characters are shorter, taller, fatter, or skinnier than the default G8. I'll sometimes spend days creating them before I save them to the library. So, I almost always have to tweak the poses to get everything to look as it should. This is not a fault in the product! Rather, it's a limitation on what can be done with Studio at this point. If you're using a custom character, expect that you'll have to make adjustments to the pose to eliminate hands clipping into the body, or figures clipping into each other. 

Now, you say you're a newbie. That's cool, new people getting into this hobby keeps it fresh and alive. I've been doing this for twenty years, and I still have a lot to learn. So, let me save you a little bit of time in creating an image. As I mentioned, I like to build a character and save it to my library so that I can load it into a scene later. This is my method: step one is obviously creating the character itself. Load it up with a texture, genitals, hair, jewelry, clothing, whatever you want. Once you're satisfied with it, you'll want to save it somewhere. For my method, I selected the 'scene builder' folder that already exists in the library, and created a folder called 'characters'. All of my creations go there. To save them, click on the little '+' box at the bottom of the library, whatever folder you choose to save the character to. This will bring up a submenu. Select to save the character as a 'scene subset'. This will bring up a popup, with everything that you have in the scene. Everything that you leave checked will be saved, and loaded again when you select the character later. Deselect everything that isn't part of the character, such as cameras, lights, the stupid tonemapper thing, and so on, then click 'OK' or 'Save' or whatever it says, I forget at the moment. This will save your ready character to use later. 

You can also do this with more than one character, if you have a coupled couple ready to go. What I do is this: parent one character to the other. This will allow you to move them around the scene as a unit when you reload them, if you select the master character, not the parented character. The process is the same. Select the folder you want to save the pair to, mine is called 'scene presets'. This is for anything that I put together that isn't a simple character, such as a pairing, an environment, a room, or a complex prop. Again, select to save it as a 'scene subset'. You will get the same popup, and the process is the same. Assuming that one character is successfully parented to the other, only the master character will be visible as an option. Deselect everything that isn't part of the pairing, like lights, cameras, etc. and save it. Now, you can load the pair ready to go into any scene you've created. I like this method because it is far less distracting and resource intensive than trying to create a pairing while the system is also contending with everything else loaded in the scene. You're basically prefabbing the scene, building it in parts to be assembled later. Using a bare scene to assemble the couples pose gives you a better view of what's happening, especially where the figures touch and interact, without elements of the scene unavoidably getting in the way. 

But as I mentioned earlier, all of the couples poses that I've purchased here work great at getting the figures onto the correct position, as long as they're applied from the default loading pose. From there, you can move them around all you want.

The last thing I need to know is how do you put the penis inside the vagina when using Thunder3d poses? I have Dickator already but I haven't purchased any female vagina such as Golden palace yet because it says that those are not requirements.

Before I purchase anymore items, I just want to make sure that I purchase the right item(s) before I try the penis in vagina pose/morph.

Thanks again for all your help

Hi there! :)

Purchase/Install of Golden Palace will be necessary to make those poses work that are listed as requiring GP (sometimes I even sneak GP pose in with sets that don't list it as required), and you'll need to have Dicktator and Golden Palace applied to the figures before using the poses. Once that's done, you just apply the pose, and the figure and the graft genital are both posed automagically. :)

If you have other questions, shoot me an email (it's in the readme file) I'm always happy to help new artists :)
