The Bouncing Spoon Sex Position

Exposed Eagle Sex PositionDeep Impact Sex Position

The Bouncing Spoon sex position works as a kind of pseudo-spooning position for the two of you. It's fairly straightforward to perform, which makes it a solid pick for spicing things up in the bedroom. Grab a new position from our ultimate sex positions guide any time you want to breathe new life into your sex life.

To try it, your man sits upright in bed against the wall, legs together and roughly straight (no need for perfection here). Stand directly over him with your back turned toward him, feet planted on either side of his thighs. Lower yourself onto your knees from there, sitting back onto his crotch and guiding him inside you. Then lean back so your back rests against his chest.

What The Girl Does In The Bouncing Spoon Position

You've got a few options here. Bouncing up and down on his crotch works, though you'll find it tires you out fast. Grinding by rotating and gyrating your hips might be more fun instead. Resting your hands on his legs or the bed lets you lean forward for extra leverage while thrusting or grinding.

If you already know the Betty Rocker position, try easing forward slowly and then bouncing.

Just don't lean forward too fast — straining his shaft that way can genuinely hurt him. Take it slow. Check out our guide to slow sex for more ideas.

Go ahead and touch yourself if the mood strikes.

What The Guy Does In The Bouncing Spoon Position

Your man leans his back against the headboard or wall, though if he's not especially flexible, propping himself up with pillows works too so he's not fully upright. Thrusting is tough for him in this seated stance.

What he can do well is use his hands. At minimum he should wrap them around you and massage your breasts, but he can also rub your genitals, masturbate you, or finger you if you're having anal sex. If you're leaning forward, he can grip your waist or shoulders and pull you down onto him with every thrust, or pull down simply to intensify the grinding.

Things To Consider When Performing The Bouncing Spoon Position

I've talked through the Bouncing Spoon position with several students who shared some interesting takeaways:

• If you want something intimate, especially while watching a movie or show in bed, this position delivers — particularly when you lean fully back into him and he wraps his arms around you.
• The Bouncing Spoon sex position transitions nicely from something like Reverse Cowgirl, since all he has to do is sit up.
• Like with many positions I teach, leaning forward or backward to find your ideal spot is key to maximizing pleasure.
• If you both slide down so he ends up on his back with you on top, it's an easy shift into the sex position known as Full Nelson.

Sean's Thoughts On The Bouncing Spoon Sex Position

I find the Bouncing Spoon works great as a switch-up position after I've put in a lot of effort elsewhere, since it lets me rest a bit.
