Sex Position of the Month: Sideways Sexcapades

This month, Lala's focuses on romantic, intimate side-by-side positions. The majority of people yearn for cuddling, full-body contact, and plenty of opportunities to kiss, caress, and whisper dirty little things in their partner's ear during sex. Therefore, spooning and its variations are the best sexual positions to offer not only affection to your partner but deep penetration.

The spoon sex position is considered one of the four basic sex positions, and it's one of two positions that allow your partner rear-entry during sexual intercourse. Sideways sex is typically one of the easiest ways to have and enjoy sexual activity with a partner. It's one of the best positions to stimulate a vulva owner's g-spot and clitoris or a penis owner's scrotum to heighten their sexual pleasure. Side-by-side sex positions are also a great way to engage in anal play, anal sex, or vibrator usage. Spooning and other sideways sex positions allow both partners to control the angle, depth, speed, and intensity of sex. A great perk of this position is that it can prolong the time it takes for male partners to reach orgasm. Most intimate partners prefer side-by-side sex when they're tired and want that mid to late-night rendezvous or a delectable treat of morning sex. However, the spoon position is simplistic and can become dull over time. So, with these four easy adaptations shown below, Lala will help you make your basic sex livelier, fun, and oh so enjoyable.

The Spork Sex Position

The spork position is one of the easiest modifications of the spoon position. This position makes anal sex more comfortable and allows for rear entry.  This position provides an average amount of pleasure for both the giving and receiving partner. Still, it can be intimate because the penetrating partner can stimulate the nipples and the neck. Therefore, the spork position is excellent for those who want to keep up foreplay with caresses and kisses throughout penetration. Depending on the flexibility of the receiving partner and the positioning of their legs, it can limit the accessibility to the G-spot and clitoris for stimulation.

How To Best Perform This Position:

The couple gets into the traditional spoon position. The penetrator lays directly behind the receiver, with both partners lying on their sides facing the same direction. Since this is a side entry sex position, the penetrator lays their abdominal and groin area against the receiver's back and buttocks. The difference between the classic spoon sex position and the spork is that the receiving partner draws their legs up against their chest to be positioned almost in the fetal position. Then, the penetrator will draw their legs up slightly at a 90-degree angle and slightly curve around the receiver's body and will wrap their arms around their partner's midsection. Once in this position, the penetrator will enter into the receiver vaginally or anally and begin thrusting.

Tips To Make It Most Enjoyable:

To make the spork position most enjoyable and heighten both partners' pleasure, have the receiving partner lift their right leg at a 90-degree angle so the penetrating partner can better position themselves between the receiver's legs for deeper penetration. Another way to liven up the spork sex position is to do it in creative places beyond the bedroom. You can do this sexual position in any space or place.

The Inverted Spoon Sex Position

The inverted spoon position is the most enjoyable modification of the traditional spoon because it provides a great view of your partner and g-spot stimulation if the receiving partner is a vulva owner.  

How To Best Perform This Position:

The penetrator lies down on their side behind their partner with their head towards the receiver's legs and feet. The receiver lays on their side with their back to their partner with their head towards the penetrator's legs and feet. Both partners need to bend at the waist to help with the angle and ease of penetration and thrusting. Otherwise, whether vaginal or anal penetration, it could be uncomfortable for the receiver during penetration.

Tips To Make It Most Enjoyable:

The penetrator should place their hands on the receiver's thighs or hips to help with their thrust. To deepen the penetration, the receiving partner lies in the fetal position, and the penetrating partner puts their feet behind the receiver's head, making it easier to hit a vulva owner's G-spot. To make this position better for the receiving partner, the penetrator can stimulate their partner's clitoris, nipples, or scrotum. Also, adding a vibrator into the mix will heighten the climax of the receiving partner. Remember: You and your partner have complete eye contact! So, give the penetrator a show by stroking your clitoris or penis shaft or toying with your nipples. Lastly, if you or your partner have a foot fetish, this is a great position to access the receiving partner's feet.

The Linguini Sex Position

The linguini sex position is best known for the receiving partner experiencing deep penetration. This adaptation of the spoon sex position is the best position to relax, let go, have fun, and give yourself entirely to the pleasures and enjoyment of sideways sex. The linguini is a moderately tricky position, but it's a fan favorite for the receiver once you've mastered it because it can be the most orgasmic. The penetrator enjoys it because it allows them deep penetration and control of their partner's sexual pleasure. 

 How To Best Perform This Position:

The receiver lies on their side with a pillow under their head for comfort and support. While the receiver relaxes on their side, the penetrator kneels directly behind their rear end and pushes one of their knees between the receiver's legs for vaginal or anal entrance. The receiver must relax their body completely and not hold tension in their muscles so the penetrator can thrust as deep as possible. The penetrator can position their penis, dildo, or strap-on to hit the G-spot just right done correctly if the receiver is a vulva owner.

 Tips To Make It Most Enjoyable:

To make this position most enjoyable, the penetrator needs to do everything possible to make the receiver feel relaxed, comfortable, and at ease in this positioning. Then, the receiver should let loose and vocalize their enjoyment with sexy moans, hip grinding, and full sexual participation.

The Sidewinder Sex Position

The sidewinder is the very best sex position for sideways Sexcapades, and Lala is here for it! While this position is one of the more difficult side-by-side sex positions, it's enjoyable due to the intimate eye contact, caresses, and capability of thrusting variations. This position will keep the receiver on the edge of ecstasy and leave them feeling 100% satiated. This position is also great for plus-size or curvy partners to comfortably have sex. The penetrator will delight in this position because they have orgasmic control over the receiver and can see their partner in the throes of passion.

How To Best Perform This Position:

The receiver will lay down on their side and raise their top leg onto the penetrator's shoulder while keeping their bottom leg straight on the bed. The penetrator will straddle the receiver's bottom thigh and wrap their arms around the thigh of the raised leg in a hugging position. The penetrator will enter the receiver anally or vaginally and gyrate their hips in a circular motion, resembling a winding and a whirling motion.

Tips To Make It Most Enjoyable:

To make the receiver more comfortable, place a pillow under their head, so they're not having to hold it up or lay on their elbow for the entirety of the sexual penetration. To heighten the receiver's ability to reach a climax, the penetrator can stroke their partner's clitoris if the receiver is a vulva owner, play with their nipples, or caress their partner's scrotum. Also, the penetrator can caress the receiver's raised leg, massage their buttocks, or gently run their nails down their partner's back. The receiver should lie back, relax, and put on a show for the penetrator by self-pleasuring their nipples, clitoris, or scrotum and verbalizing moans of pleasures and dirty talk.
