Thoughts on spooning?

I think most women would say it's a nice form of cuddling, but do women EXPECT to feel a hard on from their guy when doing so or does that just make it awkward?

Other than a few outliers, the overwhelming consensus is pretty clear: Women love spooning, and if the guy develops a hard-on in the process it's simply a nice segue to sex. Cuddling that leads to sex? What's not to like about that? Can't say I'm too surprised by the conclusion, I just didn't expect it to be so lopsided. Affectionate group here on GAG.

  • Spooning is for after the orgasms. Women definitely do NOT EXPECT to feel a hard on from the guy when spooning. If you are spooning for a while and you suddenly do get your "second wind" she might say something like "Hmmm. I think your friend down there is trying to tell me something!" Then you can fuck more, do some oral whatever … the important thing is to have fun and be relaxed about it.

  • Probably a little. It's only natural to be pressed up against a girl's ass and have a reaction. It fades.

  • I love spooning.
    It doesn't matter i feel something hard or not.
    If i feel it, i love it even more. Which then generally leads to spooning sex position itself.
    Nothing is awkward while cuddling/spooning.
    It just becomes awkward if some stranger guy spoons with u without ur permission... Hahaha

    • That's a really good point. Most will only spoon with a partner they want to have sex with. And I think you are the first to mention the sexual position itself! Great position for slow, drawn out sex. Not sure it works for everyone though; at that angle the guy needs to be sized for it.

    • Well everybody goes for doggy, cowgirl blah shit. But i like spooning and missionary more. Actually spooning is my second favorite. It gives me more somehow maybe becuz it just allows me to be more intimate and close with my partner.. in any ways, spooning is always great <3

    • Yea, cowgirl never made a whole lot of sense to me unless the woman was pregnant or it was her first time and she insisted on more control. Otherwise it seems more of a contrivance for adult films to show off more of the female's body. I don't know that doggie is a great position, but it certainly puts a woman in a more vulnerable position that indicates trust. That in itself is pretty sexy. But spoon position sex? That is all about intimacy.

  • Hey it just happens, at least that's what he told me the first times we spooned together before we even got around to sex. I didn't mind it then, I don't mind it now. Kind of flattering actually.

    • Yea, it does seem to march to the beat of its own drum at times. Looks like you are not alone though. Choosing to feel flattered is a popular response!

  • Spooning is awesome, and boners happen. Either ignore it, or bone and go back to spooning.

  • i like the cuddling. no substitute. but i won't lie... i like to know he is attracted.

    • Without a doubt, there is no sign of attraction less subtle than that.

  • Don't mind if it not there it okay, but if it is there it's still okay

    • That is a nice trait! Very good of you to be flexible, even if he is rigid. ;)

  • Spooning is nice and it doesn't matter if he gets excited. It just amps up the mood

    • Very positive attitude! You find the upside of feeling a poke from the backside.

  • Lol, I just know it's gonna be there. If you're comfortable with that person, it doesn't make things awkward. It just turns into sex...

    • Hey, sometimes predictability is a good thing! But you know what you're supposed to do if you're worried fate might turn against you? Knock on wood. Seems appropriate here.

    • Ahahaha! Brilliant ^_^

    • Too kind. My hope is that most women think the way you do (and apparently they do)! I know in my case there have been times when I have wondered what is going through a woman's mind when my member develops a mind of its own. Women can be a bit more discreet since they don't broadcast their excitement with a pulsing beacon. A guy's reaction is decidedly less subtle.

  • I'm pretty sure it's just another term for cuddling. I love cuddling. and wouldn't find it awkward but flattering if my guy became turned on.

    • Flattery is probably the best response a man can get from a woman in that situation. Well, maybe the second best...

    • it would proably end in both responses. ;)

    • Both? That is like having your cake and eating it, too. I won't extend the metaphor beyond that! :)

    • Love the little spork. But just remember, etiquette insists we not use condiments until after the first taste. And, of course, when eating out, don't forget the tip!

  • I honestly don't want/expect to feel a hard on because I wanted to cuddle not have sex. It makes it 100% awkward because my boyfriend is hard and I'm not doing anything to cause it.

    • Yea, I figured some would feel this way. It's that sentiment that raised my original concern. As for your boyfriend, he probably has little control over it, so don't be too hard on him (so to speak).

  • i think it's cute

    • I love the sentiment! I wonder if it stays cute if he gets too excited during the moment.

    • i love to see emotion

    • Men don't make that kind of emotion difficult to see, now do they? :)

  • Yup expect it and hope for it. If he doesn't get hard then I would feel unattractive

    • Hope for it? I love it. That is what a man wants from a woman! Hope for hard-on... almost sounds like a charitable cause. Only difference is that it would be the hard-on that's expected to provide a donation.

    • Haha! It's so flattering. You can't have a more obvious sign of attraction than that

    • It is almost too obvious! It wan't until I grew up a bit that I realized, pants do very little to hide a hard on. Women notice it even when we think they don't! That was a distressing realization to me, I can assure you.

  • It's kind of cute imo, LOL. We don't expect it but, hey, if it's there it's there. No biggie. And not awk, unless you guys aren't intimate or don't plan on being.

    • That is very encouraging. Thank you! But a word of advice.. when it does happen, don't tell him "no biggie". ;)

    • You got jokes
