The spoons sex 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
