Everyone loves a good spoon. This position is great for sleeping and watching TV, as well as for post-coital recovery time. But it’s not just about cuddling. Spooning is incredibly intimate and an easy way of spicing up your sex life. It's the perfect cure for morning wood – just roll over, insert, feel connected, and enjoy!
Why Spoons Though?
The name derives from the position two partners will lie in relation to one another, both laying down on their sides with one person - the small spoon - facing away, and the other - the big spoon - cuddling into their back. Their legs are usually bent at their knees, like spoons cradling each other when stacked in a drawer.
Surprise Spoon
Of course spooning can start as a comfortable position to relax or sleep in, but it can also bring the added benefits of leading to something sexier...! For instance you can easily surprise your partner first thing in the morning with some wake up sex by using the spooning position.
Ease Into It
If you’re trying to get into anal and want to ease your partner into things gently, the spooning position is great! This is due to the muscles around the anus being more relaxed due to the body’s rested position as opposed to a position such as doggy where they’re upright and need to support their weight.
Access all Areas
Spooning is great for easy access should you fancy getting a little ‘hands on’ in foreplay, as you can reach their chest, genitals, anus, pretty much everywhere! How about giving them a massage they will never forget using the spooning position, use some baby oil or massage candle wax to slick yourselves up and rub your bodies against one another as you work their entire body with your hands.
All the Stimulation You Can Handle
Sex toys can be easily taken advantage of in a position like this, imagine wandering hands, a butt plug and vibrator all at once thanks to the spooning position as your partner’s body is accessible to exploration, and if you’re behind them you have every area imaginable within your reach.
So next time you’re brainstorming what position to try next, or what kinky things you can explore, it could be as simple as some sensual inspiration from a little piece of cutlery. Spooning leads to forking after all! ;-)
