Spoon sex position

The spoons position is a popular sex position.

In the spoons position,

• the man lies on his side, with his knees bent
• the woman lies on her side, with her back pressed against his front, with her legs slightly parted, her hips tilted to one side, and her knees bent
• they line up to align his penis with her vagina, and his penis is then guided into her vagina from the rear

Features of the spoons position:

• both partners feel very equal, with no power gradient
• there is full-body contact and both partners can cuddle one another
• they can both caress one another
• the man can provide the woman with clitoral stimulation by hand at the same time
• low-intensity sex can go on for a long time

Disadvantages of the spoons position:

• penetration is quite shallow
• clitoral pressure is not very intense (but see above)
• there is little visual stimulation for either party
