I finally finished researching the XP loss from not knowing previous poses. It took so long because I was doing this systematically and with help from other people for the poses.
Thanks everyone who gave their time into finishing this study!
Before I get into my results, I'd just like to point out to Zephyr that the total XP earned by the two players is not conserved if the level difference is more than 5. That's why your results were a little weird.
So first we have to get the pose coefficients by dividing the pose values by 75 which gives
Pose Name Pose Value Pose Value / 75
Pirate's Bounty 225 3
Doggy Style 225 3
Spooning 225 3
Climbing the tree 300 4
Muff Diving 375 5
Full Nelson 450 6
Pile Driver 600 8
Banana Milkshake 750 10
Reverse Entry 750 10
Bum Bum 855 11.4
Under Heat 900 12
Against the Wall 1050 14
This is the table I made by dividing the XP i got with XP I should have got if I knew the previous poses
I've written it in terms of fractions so it's easier to see what's going on with the ratios (This is why you don't use percentages haha)
1 Pirate's Bounty 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1
2 Doggy Style 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2 2/2
3 Spooning 3/3
4 Climbing the tree 3/4 4/4
5 Muff Diving 3/5 4/5 5/5
6 Full Nelson 3/6 4/6 5/6 6/6
7 Pile Driver 3/8 4/8 5/8 6/8 8/8
8 Banana Milkshake 3/10 4/10 5/10 6/10 8/10 10/10
9 Reverse Entry 3/10 4/10 5/10 6/10 8/10 10/10 10/10
10 Bum Bum 3/11.4 4/11.4 5/11.4 6/11.4 8/11.4 10/11.4 10/11.4 11.4/11.4
11 Under Heat 3/12 4/12 5/12 6/12 8/12 10/12 10/12 11.4/12 12/12
12 Against the Wall 3/14 4/14 5/14 6/14 8/14 10/14 10/14 11.4/14 12/14 14/14
(For those who are mobile phones, I've attached a picture of the table)
I first learned Against The Wall and tried all three poses I had (First column)
Then I learnt Under Heat and tried all four poses (Second column)
Then I learnt the poses in the decreasing order and made the other columns.
So what can we say from this chart:

So what can we say from this chart:
- Specific poses don't matter. Only the number of poses known before the given pose.
- Poses that come after the given pose don't matter either.
- The programmer behind the XP is a cunning MoFo
- Finally a little trivia: Reverse Entry is the only pose that can give its maximum XP even without knowing one of the previous poses.
