SPOONING GAINS.

SPOONING GAINS.

Spooning sex style is a classic technique for enhancing intimacy and physical connection for couples. It’s a fondly loved position that involves one spouse lying behind the other, with both of them curled up in a fetal-like style. This gives room for a close physical contact, and can create a sense of protection and safety. This engagement can be adjusted for  maximum contact and comfort with pillows or blankets, to give support to the body.

Spooning oftentimes, is referred to as the ‘lazy couple’s sex position’ due to the fact that, it takes less of one’s strength when stressed, and on such a hectic day when physically exhausted with no energy to be wild in bed, spooning can come in handy for some intimacy benefits and light cool pleasurable sex. 

This brings us to the gains of spooning- It’s very advantageous to lovers in more than one ways, and below are a few of the benefits.

* It increases intimacy- This is actually one of the biggest gains of spooning, the feeling of closeness it promotes between partners, not just sexual intimacy, it can increase emotional intimacy.

* It boost emotional connection as it offers a unique opportunity for emotional connection between spouses; chance to express your love and affection for each other through the use of words or physical touch. Dwelling on this can boost overrall experience thereby creating a deeper sense of bonding.

* The style help to reduce stress and promote relaxation- This can lower blood pressure and improve your well being. The physical closeness can also lead to a faster release of tension and muscle soreness, while promoting healthy circulation and joint mobility.

Couples of child bearing age can also optimize the benefits of spooning in the following ways:

* Conception- This is a highly recommended position for spouses who want to get pregnant. The pose ensures that the man’s sperm reaches the cervix as the woman’s pelvis is tilted at a 90-degree angle; another variant of this posture is the lady spreading the legs open and resting on the outer surface of the man’s thighs. This helps the man to hold the woman really close.

* Pregnancy- It is a very comfortable safe sex position to enjoy when pregnant since couples get to lie like two spoons and the husband curls up behind the wife, and wraps the lover’s legs around the outside of his legs. It helps to open up the woman’s legs for foreplay before actually sliding into the vagina.

After Birth Sex- Spooning becomes a light, simple satisfying sex position during postpartum to get back in action and spice things up after delivery. This style reduces the effort needed by both of them as it helps in rear entry for smooth penetration especially as the new mum does not need to lie on her back and take the entire weight of her man it makes it easy for both of them.

* Spooning can also improve breathing and alleviate snoring since your airways are less likely to be blocked that can lead to an improved overall health being.

The spooning style can actually be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders, and it’s a bonus for the older ones who may find the position more comfortable as a result of flexibility and joint pain. 

In as much as spooning could be a powerful  position for intimacy and closeness but it really does not have to lead to orgasm or penetration. Never feel pressured to perform in a certain way or achieve a certain outcome.

Communication and consent are key ingredients to a positive experience; make the most of your sexy romp whether for cuddle or introducing spooning when next you’re at it!
