Couple sleeping positions may sound simple, but couples often have a hard time figuring out where to start. There are thousands of possible positions to try, many of them do not work very well. It’s easy to get caught up in what works for other people, but what if you are a new couple and you haven’t had success finding the right position? You probably aren’t alone. But that does not mean you have to give up, and there is always an option to change things up! Here are some sleeping positions you may want to try.
Laid Over on The Knees
A couple of sleeping positions that seem to be the most used are laid over on the knees. This position is ideal for those who like intimacy but don’t want to be fully exposed. However, it does not work very well for those who want to be open and vulnerable. Couples who are laid-over-on-the-knees find it hard to be comfortable and may find that they can’t get comfortable. This is because of the limitations of being laid down on the knees; it is challenging to recline back.
Spooning
Couple sleeping positions also include spooning. This is another great study found in the Archives of Sexual Medicine, which proves that couples who spooned were more likely to report having better sex. When couples spooned, they discovered that they enjoyed the intimacy, shared physical contact, and had more of an emotional connection. However, they also found that they slept better when one partner spooned than when they both spooned. For the study, the women were told that they would be lying on their side and the men would be on top; however, spooning was done in this specific situation.
Missionary Position
Couple sleeping positions that are commonly used are also the most dangerous. The missionary position is the least safe as it gives less than forty percent of sexual stimulation. In addition, it puts the couples on top instead of being on the side. Twenty-four percent of all missionary cases result in multiple orgasms that cannot be obtained again.
Back to Back
The best couples sleeping positions are the back-to-back, spooning, and back-to-front position. With the back-to-back position, the man sits straight up with his back facing the woman. She then lays back on her stomach and looks forward, placing her head and spine on the pillow beneath. The woman’s backrests against his back, her face facing him.
The best sleep positions are the spooning and back-to-front position, but each one has its disadvantages. For spooning, couples may find it uncomfortable as both women and men often roll on their stomachs. As well, they do not get a good night’s rest. With back-to-front, the woman faces her husband, and they sit very close to each other; however, they find it challenging to roll over onto their backs because their heads are almost touching each other.
One of the best sleep positions for couples to have is the one-person dominant position. It requires two people to enter this position. This allows both partners to be in complete control and touch with one another without disturbing their individual sleep position. When one partner is on top, the other partner moves onto the bed or to the floor while keeping one person on top at all times.
Leg Hug
Another best sleeping position for couples is the leg hug. This position has two people in complete intimacy and also provides for a great way to relax. If you want to try something different, try the leg hug, where one person lies with their legs hugging the other person. These positions can be used for a wide variety of intimacy, from passionate lovemaking to complete relaxation.
Those who sleep on their sides are often strong and reliable, while the side sleepers are fun and outgoing. So how come you and your partner are sleeping in two different positions? What does it mean to you that you’re sleeping in two different positions? When you two first got together, did you ever consider that you might want to change positions now and again? If no, then it’s about time you considered doing so!
One of the most common and comfortable couples sleeping positions is the back-to-back sleeper. A lot of couples enjoy this position because it offers good support for one another. Most people that do this type of sleep position have their legs bent and either resting on each other’s back or holding onto one another’s waist. The benefit of this particular position is that it is fairly easy to transition from back to back, and also, if you are using a blanket, it helps to distribute the right weight of the blanket. For those that don’t want to get into a crawling position, this can be an excellent choice! The main drawback of this position is that if your partner decides to sleep on his back, you’ll have to fall asleep on top of him.
The second of the more comfortable and common couple sleeping positions is the side-by-side sleeper. This is a slightly more evolved version of the back-to-back sleeper. It makes use of the mattress’s center as a platform for one another. With one arm each holding onto the opposite ends of the mattress, both partners can sleep nearby together. Again, this is fairly easy to transition from back to back.
Yet another of the more intimate couple sleeping positions is the spoon position. This is done by simply using one partner’s thumb and index finger to wrap around his or her partner’s index finger. With these two fingers in place, the other partner will put his or her mouth on top of the free hand that is in place over the spoon. The result is a sort of spoon position, with one partner’s head resting on top of the other’s body. (Again, this is easily done by either sleeping side-by-side or one person sleeping on one side.)
Conclusion
One of the biggest keys to making out in bed is communication. To fully enjoy making out in bed, both partners must be on the same wavelength. If your body language or your partner’s body language does not speak to the other, then the whole idea of making love doesn’t work. This is why couples counseling often involves communicating one’s desires and needs to one partner in a non-verbal manner. By communicating, both partners are better able to meet each other halfway throughout the evening and create a more loving relationship. Another common couple sleeping position that doesn’t include the typical upright body position is the side hug. In this position, one person is lying on his or her back with the other person’s legs on either side of the person’s body. Instead of having one person’s legs on top of the other, it is common for both people to have their legs together. As long as the bug is not too tight and neither person is experiencing pain, this can be a very comfortable position and can provide a basis for intimacy.
