Spooning

Could someone please explain what spooning is?

That is when two people nestle in close contact with one another, as when both are lying on their sides with their knees drawn up, the back of one person tucked into the front of the other like the bowls of two spoons: They spooned without shifting position the whole night through.

I love to spoon and I loved the video

I love spooning as well... but that video got the upper arm position all wrong. The one I use 90% of the time would be holding onto a breast, usually the upper, but lower works too. On another forum years ago I heard the phrase 'safety boob' - as in you hold on to make sure you didn't separate, or you had comfort in times of distress. It does make you feel all safe!

Always smiled at that term.

My wife and I generally spoon, usually on our left sides and with her in front of me as she sleeps on the left side.

It is EXTREEMLY intimate without having actual sex. Often done after sex is completed. A very bonding experience.

My husband and I often sleep spooning.

Sometimes my husband holds me and I am the little spoon, sometimes I hold my husband and he is the little spoon.

I like spooning, but it's not something I do all night, or for long periods of time.

I'm usually the little spoon. I'm 5'3 (okay rounding up a little, but fuck it) so I'm either the little spoon or the jet pack. 90% of the time, it's the little spoon. But I like to trail my fingers over the other person, rest my hand on their thigh, or their chest and feel it rise and fall with each breath.

You can't really reach around like that when you're the little spoon.

I also have a habit of wiggling and grinding my ass into the big spoon's cock/mound, which only leads to a shift in position!

I love to spoon. Usually I am the big spoon, as I like my cock to nestle against or between my partner's butt cheeks. The full skin contact is what I most enjoy.

Yeah I like to be the little spoon when we are going to sleep. I love it when he has got his arm around me and holding me against him, I think it is a very romantic and close position. I like it if his hand goes wandering too. 😃

I like being the big spoon because I like having my arm around the other person and holding them snugly. Then again, if it's a guy, being the small spoon allows his dick to be between my butt cheeks. Of course that often leads to more activity and not sleep.

Sex while spooning is my wife's favorite position. After I cum, I often fall asleep while still inside (and wake up later still inside). Occasionally I'm able to start a 'second round' without ever falling out!

My roomie and I always spoon before we go to bed, then he rolls over and we will sleep back to back. Then when the alarm goes off, there he is again, snuggled up against my ass, his hand on my boob.

Wouldn't have it any other way

I like to spoon with my sub/husband but usually in the winter or when the air conditioner is on. My sub seems to run a bit on the warmer side so he radiates heat. I feel so loved and safe when he has his arms wrapped around me. As others have said to have one hand on a breast is nice and comforting for him.

Then when he needs to roll over, to change positions, I snuggle up behind him and hold his boob or his butt.

I pretty much always fall asleep being the big spoon behind my wife. Usually we're both naked so my dick pretty much has no choice to but to be pressed up against her rear. Sometimes she'll wiggle her ass against me to get me hard so she can have my hard penis between her cheeks. Of course I return the favor and hold up a boob for her.

So I guess to answer the original question. Spooning is a foreplay position trying to pretend to be a sleeping position 😉

One of life's simplest pleasures. But you've gotta genuinely care about the person you're spooning with.

I am applying for a kind gentle roommate such as the one described in this post.... $Priceless...so luck you two. Lovely.

I'm pretty much the same as you @electrode . However, when I first snuggle up against her, my cock is dangling down and is squished against her cheek. I have to sweep my hand down there to let it position itself where it belongs, in that spot between her legs and cheeks. It's as if nature provided that little "receptacle" where the penis fits nicely. 😁

I recall the first time we did this. She said "Are you parked in the garage?" I replied quickly, "No, just in the driveway".

I agree with @intruder that sex in this position can be very relaxing and comfortable.

My girlfriend often goes to sleep hours before me but when I do finally get to bed I usually spoon her and fall asleep but often during sleep she wakes up and asks to spoon me

I love spooning with my pelvis up against her ass and my arms across her chest. Very relaxing.

I'm the big spoon because I'm really big...love to nuzzle the back of my wifes neck and gently nibble her ears....

I love spooning and cuddling! But I can't stay that way overnight. Can't fall asleep unless I am on my back and facing up.

And how do you call it when spooning turns into sex ?

I thought ''spooning'' was the name of this sex position .

I love to fall asleep as the little spoon. I am curled a bit as I lay with my back to his front side. Both of our legs are bent and I lay with my bottom hand under my pillow. He lays with at least one arm over me in a very intimate hold. Somehow we don’t stay in these same positions all night, but to begin a night like this is pretty close to perfect and makes me feel secure and cared for.

In a Saturday Night Live skit, she referred to it as "lazy sideways". That fits. 😃

My wife has started "big spooning" me fairly often. I always try to grind my ass back into her, hoping that eventually she might get the idea. We will see.

The position for cuddling has been described well here. It can easily turn into vaginal penetration if the woman is the "little spoon", and it can also be used for penis-on-vulva rubbing. My wife took to like this position during her first pregnancy... When she feels like having sex but is a bit tired, she sticks her bottom out!

Best position for sex when you're as lazy as me!

My wife and I always sleep nude, and have had many nights where I wake up very early, and fully erect. I'll spoon into my wife, rubbing my penis against her buttocks to wake her. From there I'll lube her, insert my phallus, and we both drift back to sleep. We will usually wake up some time later, me still erect, and us still in union. We copulate, primarily to provide me with relief from what is by then an unusually hard and painful erection. There have even been a few nights, while sleeping connected, that I have a wet dream, and ejaculate while we are both still asleep. The spoon has been a blessing for us, allowing minor periods of interrupted sleep, with many hours in blissful coital union.

I like to be the big spoon. Rubbing is very pleasurable to me and I enjoy the warmth of my partner's body, especially after sex and slowly drifting to sleep. But it never lasts long, we're both very fiddly in bed
