Sex in the Spoon Position
Introduction: Why Spooning is Sexy
When it comes to intimacy, few positions feel as emotionally connected and physically comforting as sex in the spoon position. It's slow, sensual, and gives both partners the chance to enjoy deep pleasure without rushing. Whether you're trying to boost intimacy or looking for a way to last longer, spooning is a must-try move in your bedroom playbook.
Ready to discover why this side-by-side position might become your new favorite? Let’s dive into everything you need to know about spooning during sex.
For those interested in extending the moment even further, consider incorporating a delay spray like EjaGuard’s, which is formulated to support stamina while maintaining sensitivity.
What is the Spoon Sex Position?
The spooning sex position mimics the classic cuddle — both partners lie on their sides, with one person’s front pressed against the other’s back. Think of it like a cozy embrace that naturally leads to penetration from behind.
This position is often praised for its comfort and closeness. The receiving partner typically becomes the ‘little spoon,’ while the penetrating partner acts as the ‘big spoon.’ Because of the angle and shallow strokes, this position creates gentle stimulation and slow build-up.
Perfect for lazy mornings, romantic evenings, and long sessions that focus on connection, not just climax.
This position also allows for easy incorporation of vibrators or clitoral stimulators, making it ideal for couples seeking shared pleasure without changing positions.
How to Do Sex in the Spoon Position
Want to make spoon sex smooth and satisfying? Here’s a simple step-by-step:
-
Lie Side by Side
Both partners lie on their sides, facing the same direction. -
Get Close
The penetrating partner slides in behind the receiving partner. Their pelvis should align for easy access. -
Enter from Behind
Use your hand to guide the penis into the vagina from behind. Lubricant can help ease the way. -
Slow Rhythmic Movement
Focus on slow, shallow thrusts. Grind your hips gently instead of fast pounding. -
Enhance with Touch
Free hands? Use them. Clitoral stimulation, nipple play, or soft kisses can turn spooning into a full-body experience.
This isn’t a position for speed. It’s for slow sex, deep connection, and shared rhythm.
To enhance lubrication and reduce friction, a high-quality water-based lubricant can transform your experience, especially during longer sessions.
7 Benefits of Spooning During Sex
Why is this position so special? Let’s break down the best reasons to try sex in the spoon position tonight.
1. Ultimate Comfort
No straining. No balancing. Just relaxed bodies lying down. Great for lazy or tired days.
2. Closeness & Connection
Your whole body stays in contact — chest, hips, legs. That means more oxytocin and emotional bonding.
3. Ideal for Morning or Sleepy Sex
Woke up turned on? This position requires minimal movement to get going.
4. Less Overstimulation
The shallow angle and restricted thrusting help men reduce intense stimulation, perfect for lasting longer.
5. Hands-Free Access
Both partners can reach around to explore erogenous zones. Great for clitoral stimulation.
6. G-Spot Stimulation
The curve and angle target the front vaginal wall — where the G-spot lives.
7. Perfect for Premature Ejaculation
The controlled movement makes it easier to pace yourself and prevent quick finishes.
Couples looking to manage sensitivity might also explore EjaGuard's Delay Spray, which offers a subtle numbing effect to help prolong intimacy without sacrificing sensation.
Tips to Maximize Pleasure & Connection
Want to take your spooning sex position from good to great? Try these simple but effective hacks:
-
Use a Delay Spray: Products like EjaGuard Delay Spray can help desensitize the area slightly, giving you longer control without numbing all the pleasure.
-
Add Lubrication: Even if she’s naturally wet, a little lube reduces friction and enhances glide.
-
Talk Softly: Whisper dirty thoughts or encouragement into her ear for a mental and emotional turn-on.
-
Vary the Angle: Bend her top leg forward for deeper access, or pull her hips in closer for more pressure.
-
Take Your Time: This isn’t a race. Think of spooning as slow sex with a purpose — to build tension, not just reach climax.
Explore how intimate lingerie can add an extra layer of arousal and anticipation to your spooning sessions.
How the Spoon Position Helps You Last Longer
Struggling to last longer in bed? Spoon sex might be your secret weapon. Here's why:
-
Limited Thrust Depth: With less range, your arousal rises slowly.
-
Fewer Visual Stimuli: You’re focused on sensation, not performance.
-
Relaxed Body: Lying down reduces physical tension that can speed up ejaculation.
-
Control Breathing: The calming pace helps you stay present and resist the urge to finish too early.
Combine this position with Kegel exercises, mindfulness, or a natural desensitizer for even better results.
Variations of the Spoon Position to Try
Want to spice things up while keeping the spoon vibe alive? Try these twists:
1. The Standing Spoon
Stand behind her and penetrate while both of you are upright. Great for showers or wall support.
2. Spooning with a Pillow Boost
Place a pillow under her top leg for a raised angle and deeper access.
3. Slow Grind Spoon
Instead of thrusting, use slow, circular grinding motions with your hips. Great for clit and G-spot play.
4. Spooning from Behind + Toy Use
Use a vibrator on her clitoris while inside. The mix of inner and outer stimulation can lead to blended orgasms.
Each variation offers a unique experience — experiment to find what feels best for both of you.
