Spicy Friday

So we've talked about  favorite sex positions before. Now, what are your LEAST favorite positions and why?

Re: Spicy Friday

  • I can't get into the spooning position.  I sometimes suspect we aren't doing it right  (maybe we are both too tall?) but it just doesn't do  much for me.  I need a little more movement going on, I think.
  • My/our least favorite is probably when he's standing up holding me and I have my legs wrapped around him (not sure what it's called, sorry). It is just very awkward for us and we can't really get enough momentum going to make it worth the effort.
  • I don't like spooning either, but I did find if you do the scissors position it solves the problems we were having.

  • Pretty much any position standing up.  That is the downfall of having a DH who is slightly shorter than you.

  • We are either the two most uncoordinated people on the planet, my big butt gets in the way, the height difference is too great or something, but for love or money we cannot get doggie style to work for us.  And it pisses me off, because I think it would be awesome.

  • We can't figure out the spooning position, either. I always like more movement than that anyways. We can't really figure out laying on our sides and facing each other, either. Oh well.

  • I have to agree... spooning is always really awkward for us. I like the friction aspect, but I like more movement.

  • Yeah most standing positions are out for us too.  We're too close in height for him to be able to pick me up or anything.  One of the many reasons I wish I weren't so tall.

    Reba, I don't know what you guys have tried already, but have you tried to make height adjustments by having him standing on the side of the bed while you're on the edge of it?  Or the couch perhaps?  Also, you can kind of adjust your height by either being up on all fours, or going down all the ways to your elbows or chest.  We get better "connection" if H is on only one knee or leg, and has the other foot kind of planted beside me, if that makes sense.  I think he is able to get more control of thrusting that way.

  • Another spooning vote. I never works for us and we end up moving on very quickly.

    I've always wanted to try that..but I don't think DH could hold me. Embarrassed

  • Ditto to any standing positions. We can never seem to make them work.

    this one actually works for us, especially in the shower Embarrassed

    although we have the opposite problem where he's SO much taller, we almost have to do this if we want to do anything 'standing' because otherwise he's too tall (1'3" taller!).

  • We've never been able to get any standing positions to work...the shower is out.  Makes me sad.

  • I actually really like spooning! DH has it down to a science now so it works well for us. The position I don't like is reverse cowgirl. It never really works for me. My pelvis is angled a different way than his manhood is and I just can't seem to get into a rhythm.

  • I don't know what it is called but I lay on my back and place both legs or just one leg on his shoulders. I don't like it because he keeps hitting something and it hurts
