lie on their sides facing the same direction and he enters her from behind. He does most of the work of penetration in this position. He can kiss the back of her neck and touch her breasts, vulva, clitoris, and tummy. This can be a comfortable position for people of many different body sizes, especially people with large bodies and pregnant women.
PROS
Spooning gives you easy access to the ass. In this position, penetration is not as deep as in others, so it’s especially good for anal beginners; it also works well if you don’t like deep thrusting or your partner has a longer-than-average penis. Many people like spooning because it gives them full body contact with their partner; it’s snuggly and intimate. If you like to use a large vibrator during anal penetration—such as a plug-in wand-style vibe—spooning works well since both of you have full access to her entire vulva.
CONS
Eye contact is more difficult in this position without her craning her neck. Kissing can also be tricky. If you’re looking for deep or hard thrusting, spooning isn’t for you. Some men find it an awkward position for even gentle thrusting. There isn’t a lot of visual stimulation for either partner.

Getting It Good
Reach back to spread your butt cheeks, which will help with initial penetration.
Change your body angle by rolling slightly forward and leaning away from him, or put one or both legs up to change the angle and depth of penetration.
Put your legs together to create a tighter feel.
Twist your body so that your torso is lying nearly flat on the bed; this will give you better eye contact.

SPOON & FORK
To try this variation, couples should begin in the spooning position. Then she puts her left leg under his right leg and her right leg over it, so it’s wrapped around his waist. He can put his arm down to give himself more leverage and greater thrusting power. Like spooning, this position creates more shallow penetration and is ideal for men with long penises; however, many men find they can thrust faster and with more gusto. Because her body is tilted more toward him, kissing is also easier in this position.
DOGGIE STYLE
Doggie Style, where she is on all fours and he enters her from behind, is a versatile position with many variations and lots of possibilities. It’s one of the most popular positions for anal sex. People of different body sizes with varying levels of strength and flexibility can get into this position and sustain it.
PROS
If you’re an “ass man,” you probably love this position, since you can see touch, and grab her ass. You also have an ideal view of your penis going in and out of her ass, a big turn-on for lots of people. This is a great position to begin with vaginal intercourse while you play with your fingers or a toy in her ass to warm her up; when she’s ready, you can easily transition from vaginal to anal penetration. For beginners nervous about navigating her two orifices and wanting to make it into the right one, when you’re in Doggie Style, you can see clearly where you’re going! He has a lot of freedom to control the angle, depth, and speed of penetration. This is a powerful thrusting position for him, where the penetration can be hard, fast, and deep. Some people equate Doggie Style with animalistic, dirty, naughty, or rough sex—it doesn’t have to be this way, but the position helps many people channel their dominant/submissive fantasies and roleplay. In other words, he can feel like he’s taking her and she can feel taken. Some may also feel less inhibited and more free to talk dirty or let his or her inner
