Sometimes the hottest sex positions are also the simplest. This week’s feature in our Sex Position of the Week series is all about Spooning — a cozy, intimate position that combines closeness, comfort, and sensual pleasure.
If you’re looking for a way to feel connected while still enjoying deep penetration and toy-friendly versatility, Spooning is your go-to.
What is the Spooning Sex Position?
The Spooning position has both partners lying on their sides, with the receiving partner’s back against the chest of the penetrating partner. From here, penetration happens from behind, creating a relaxed angle that’s as intimate as it is pleasurable.
It’s sometimes called the “Lazy Lover” position because it doesn’t require much effort, but don’t be fooled — it can be intensely erotic.
Why Try the Spooning Position?
-
Full-Body Intimacy: Skin-to-skin contact, cuddling, and kissing all in one.
-
Gentle & Relaxed: Perfect for slow, sensual sex or early-morning encounters.
-
Deep Connection: Ideal for partners who enjoy closeness as much as penetration.
-
Toy-Friendly: Plenty of access for vibrators, plugs, or cock rings.
-
Discreet & Quiet: Great for times when you want intimacy without too much movement or noise.
How to Do the Spooning Position
-
Lie on Your Side: Both partners lie down, with the receiving partner in front.
-
Align Your Hips: The penetrating partner moves in behind, aligning hips for comfortable entry.
-
Wrap Around: The back partner can wrap an arm around the front partner’s waist, breasts, or clitoris for added stimulation.
-
Adjust Rhythm: Penetration can be slow and sensual or faster with hip thrusts.
-
Add Toys: Because hands are free, this is one of the easiest positions to pair with vibrators or plugs.
