The name derives from the way that two spoons may be positioned side by side, with their bowls aligned.  Usually there will be some overlapping of arms and legs in this position.

How to do it:

1.      Position yourselves lying on your sides and facing the same direction, with the woman in front of the man.

2.      The woman may bend herself forward a bit at the hips and temporarily lift up her top leg to allow room for penetration.

3.      Slide the penis into the vagina from behind.

4.      Make love with a slow and gentle rocking motion.

 By adjusting the lean of your bodies, you'll vary the angle of entry and your latitude to thrust.

Why it is good:

• The man can also include some clitoral stimulation.
• It may be used for vaginal or anal penetration.
• This position offers a lot of physical contact for the person doing the penetrating.
• For people with hip problems this position can be very comfortable and allows longer, slower penetration.
• Great for either g-spot or prostate gland stimulation.
• This is an optimal position for sexual intercourse during the later stages of pregnancy.
• This position is perfect for slow and sensual love-making just before falling asleep or upon waking up.
• The position offers intimacy for both partners

Possible Problem:

• This position does not allow for a lot of leverage for thrusting and both partners may feel like they have less movement and freedom.
