"I'm a sucker for cuddling. Cuddling gets me in the mood, so I love curling up side by side, and just start having sex from a comfortable and intimate position."

Side by Side Sex Positions

Perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or sleepy sex before you doze off, side by side sex positions are easy and comfortable. Getting into a side by side sex position is the hardest part, but once you get comfortable, both partners have to move very little to create interesting and pleasurable sensations. While there is not a lot of mobility or deep penetration with side by side positions, the subtle, comfortable pleasures more than make up for it.

These romantic, cuddly positions afford a lot of body contact and touching. If partners are facing each other, these positions make cuddling, caressing, and eye contact easy. If partners are chest-to-back, or spooning, than there is a lot of room to touch breasts, bottoms, and genitals.

Lying positions often result in unique and pleasurable sensations because most of the stimulation is on the head of the penis and the first few inches of the vagina, which are the most sensitive areas. Side by side positions are especially good if his penis it quite large or on the smaller side. If he is on the larger side, the limited range of motion keeps him from bumping against her cervix. With her legs closed, he gets stimulated by her thighs as well, so he doesn't miss the deep penetration. If he is on the smaller side, she keeps her legs closed, making her vagina tighter. This way he feels more filling. "Slipping out" is a possibility in this position, so vigorous thrusting is not recommended.

Side by side positions are subtle and romantic positions for couples to try. Side by side positions are perfect for hungover mornings, before bed, naptime, or anytime you want to have subtle, lazy sex.
