Load two (e.g. Poser 4 men (= Dork)) to stage. Call them A and B. Parent B to A's hip. Set all translates and rotates of B's hip and BODY to 0. In the Hierarchy Window, give B an extra IK-chain Abdomen-Chest; set it to IK-on. IK-parent B's chest to A's chest. Set all translates and rotates of B's chest to 0. Hide B's hip, abdomen, chest, thighs, shins, feet, toes, head, eyes, and genitals: this is best done in the Hierarchy editor, by clicking the little eye symbols so they disappear. Save the result.

Go into the resulting CR2 file with a text editor. Find the yTran channels of each of A's and B's collars; set each to "hidden 0", so they show in Poser.

If you are making Hindu religious art, leave it like that. Else, yTran the collars to get A's shoulder joints away from B's shoulder joints to make the result anatomically possible.

Rename the character A as (say) "Jim", and B as "Jims_extra_arms".
