Whoopie School

"The perfect morning to me would be waking up, lazily having spooning sex, dozing off ... and then waking up to eggs and coffee ready. Then maybe back to spooning."

Spooning Sex Position

Spooning is such a lovely, comfortable sex position that conjures images of two beings fitting perfectly together. To do it, partners lay side by side, her back to his chest. He penetrates her, though to do so may require that she lift her leg to create room. Once he's in, you can just snuggle and thrust.

What's good about Spooning. Spooning is super comfy; you and your partner are just all cuddled up together with lots of body contact. If she keeps her legs closed, her thighs add extra tightness and stimulation for him and he feels more filling inside her. He can caress her breasts and hips and kiss her neck, or stroke her clit.

What's bad about Spooning. Spooning is best for gentle lovemaking, so if you start to get into it and thrust more, he's likely to slip out. You don't get very deep penetration or hard thrusting in this position.

Best for: hangovers; when cuddle time gets freaky.
