Spooning and Forking: Why the spoon position is still so delicious

There’s a reason the dish ran away with the spoon. The spooning sex position is perfect for lazy times, just like Lionel Richie said (“easy like Sunday mornings”). Especially when you want to put those precious few minutes before you gotta get up to good use. But this sex position isn’t only for when you’re too tired to bother with any other. (Do we dare attempt the speed bump before our morning coffee?) Spooning has gotten a bad rap because it’s thought of as lazy, but that’s simply not true. There are so many great benefits to spooning and all of its variations (like the slotted spoon, the serving spoon and the spork–yeah, I said spork) have pleasures to offer. Since spooning often leads to forking, let’s go over how to make spooning your new go-to position. **Fun fact: it’s Vermont’s favorite position and top two on the list for bisexual couples.

Standing Up 4 SEX: give your bed a break already!

Continuing on with our position-palooza, we’ve gone over doggy, cowgirl, missionary, speedbump and the uber-sexy lotus. We’ve been prone or in a sitting position for all of these...until now. Warning: some of these are hella fun and ADVANCED (I should probably put some safety notice here as a physician, but I’ll let you judge for yourself) Standing sex positions can come in handy for all sorts of situations. You want to change things up in the bedroom; that gotta-have-you-now feeling strikes, or you just want to get it on while prepping dinner (I know a woman whose husband was always mega turned on but her peeling zucchini at the kitchen sink: best sex ever, she claimed. Hey...do you!). Most any position we’ve already discussed can be done standing up–doggy can be done in the shower or against a wall. Missionary can be done upright as well. Those are classics with a twist. But what are some positions that solely exist in the upright state? That’s what we’re gonna break down. In this episode, we'll go over: -the butter churner -the pile driver and its sister: the inverted pile driver -the wheelbarrow variations, safety tips, and more!

Position Potpourri: Weird, Wacky and Wow sex positions you should try at least once!

When your sex life feels a little stale, how do you up the bedroom ante? Crazy sex positions! We’ve spent the past few episodes reviewing some classics, and some new funky fresh ones (I mean, the butter churner?) The problem is that sex positions that keep getting used the same way tend to put us in a sex rut (boo). More exotic sex positions can help keep the spark alive, or just get you into shape (lookin’ at you, wheelbarrow). But what if you’re feeling really adventurous? This week, we’re going over some positions that don’t fit “inside the box” (but will definitely satisfy your box). Truthfully, some crazy positions could potentially cause disabling injuries. All medical caution aside, the ones we discuss this week are mind-blowingly good, totally worth the try and some are just weird to talk about at cocktail parties.
