Spoons sex position

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The spoons position is a popular sexual position and intimate cuddling technique. It may be used for vaginal or anal penetration. The name derives from the way that two spoons may be positioned side by side, with their bowls aligned.

[edit] Sexual spoons position

In the sexual spoons position, the penetrative partner lies on their side, with their knees bent. The receptive partner lies on their side, with their back pressed against the penetrative partner's front. The receptive partner parts their legs slightly, with their hips tilted to one side, and their knees bent. The two partners line up to align the penetrative partner's penis or dildo with the receptive partner's vagina or anus, and the phallus is then guided into the orifice from the rear.

The penetrative partner is often called the big spoon, and the receptive partner the little spoon, especially in sexual relationships between men.

This position allows for a great deal of physical intimacy, as the full-body contact allows both partners to cuddle and caress one another. Low-intensity sex can go on for a long time in this position. However, the lower intensity from this position may not be sexually satisfying without progression to other, more intense positions. Furthermore, penetration is quite shallow, and clitoral or anal pressure is not very intense without manual stimulation. In addition, there is little visual stimulation for either party, as they are not facing one another and cannot see each other's bodies clearly.
