Side by Side Sex Position


Side-by-side positions offer a high level of intimacy as they allow a great deal of body contact. The positions are gentle and romantic and can allow for prolonged intercourse.

In the "spoons" position the partners lie on their sides with the man behind the woman. The woman pulls her knees up and lifts one slightly to allow easy penetration. In this position the man is free to caress his partner's breasts and genitals.

The partners can lie facing each other with the woman's legs wrapped around her partners waist. This position leaves the couple free to caress and kiss and the couple can, by changing the position of their thighs, vary the angle and depth of penetration.

If the woman lies on her back with her thighs over the thighs of her partner, he can enter her while at the same time caressing her breasts and genitals.

These positions are comfortable for women with large partners or where the woman is pregnant. One option is a simple variation of the missionary position. The woman lies on top of the man and guides his penis into her vagina. The couple can vary the position of their legs to vary the sensations. In another woman-on-top position, the woman can sit up. This gives her a full view of her partner, and gives her partner full view of her breasts and genitals which can be extremely arousing. By taking all of her own weight she can control the penetration to her liking. Her partner can caress her breasts and clitoris. The woman can face away from her partner.
