Spooning

What is Spooning?

Spooning is a sexual position that involves two people lying on their sides and facing the same direction, with one person behind the other. It’s one of the world’s most popular sex positions and, according to some experts, the number-one couch sex position!

Spooning & Cuddling

Whereas missionary and doggy style are bonafide sex positions, spooning has a non-sexual equivalent known as cuddling. Cuddling is the same as spooning but with no penetrative, oral, or manual sex involved.

Why Do People Like Cuddling

According to experts, people love the intimacy of cuddling because the body releases high doses of oxytocin (the “feel-good” hormone) when you cuddle with someone you like. Despite the popularity of spooning as a sex position, cuddling is incredibly more prevalent.
