Spoons

Nested side-lying rear frame — maximal coziness, minimal joint tax, excellent for long-duration skill and recovery blocks.

Inserting / supporting2/5

Receiving / driving1/5

Consent, respect, and the right to stop are non-negotiable. Standards

Setup

1. Side-lying: both spines long, bottom waist supported. If a shoulder goes numb, rotate or add a pillow — do not fight circulation for a prettier line.
2. Build Spoons (Lateral rear / spooning congress) from the diagram: Both on one side; the back partner matches the front partner’s knee bend.
3. Workload is 2/5 (inserting / supporting) and 1/5 (receiving / driving). Stay inside a range you can exit cleanly — difficulty 1/5, intensity 1/5.
4. Long, low-ROM nested work needs more lube than it looks. Water-based with latex (reapply — it tackifies); hybrid for a longer no-barrier nest. Keep the bottle reachable without a violent un-nest. Friction or pain = stop.

Stimulation

Rear nested angle is shallow-to-mid, not a deep-drive frame. Clitoral access is the front (receiving) partner's hand or the back (inserting) partner reaching around the hip. Back partner's other hand stays on the waist.

Three cues

· Rear nested angle is shallow-to-mid, not a deep-drive frame. Clitoral access is the front (receiving) partner's hand or the back (inserting) partner reaching around the hip. Back partner's other hand stays on the waist.
· Both on one side; the back partner matches the front partner’s knee bend.
· Consent to duration

Two common faults

· Fighting a numb shoulder instead of rotating or adding a pillow.
· Mismatched knee bend so the bottom waist collapses.

Abort

· Numb bottom shoulder, a dead arm, or overheating in the nest is the abort — rotate, add a pillow, or unstack. Do not fight circulation for a longer spoon.
· Stop for sharp pain, numbness, panic-adjacent breath, or a spoken / non-verbal stop — no debate.
· Either person can freeze the set. Resume only after both are green.
· Best recovery-active intimacy frame.

Spoons at RPE 3

One position-specific drill · RPE 3

Both people build Spoons from the diagram for 45 seconds at RPE 3: no drive, just stance, breath, and a spoken stop. If you cannot exit cleanly, drop a pillow or a range — do not add gym work.

Variations

· Top leg forward
· Pillow propped
· Partial exit for cooling

Progressions

· Extend duration
· Add gratitude / stillness rounds

Partner communication cues

· Consent to duration
· Exit if overheating

Load / intensity modifiers

· Blankets, temperature control
