POSITION GUIDE

SIDEWAYS

Both partners side by side facing each other. Less spooning. More face to face. Lazy intimate. Underused. Worth knowing.

SCROLL

Sideways is the position where both partners lie on their sides, facing each other, with the receivers top leg draped over the giver. Penetration happens. The vibe is gentle. The intimacy is high.

What It Actually Is

Both on sides facing each other. Receivers top leg over giver. Penetration. Slow movement.

Bottom partner lies on their side, knees slightly bent, top leg draped over the giver. Top partner lies on their side facing them. Penetration happens. Both partners are essentially horizontal and supported by the bed. No structural work. Lots of face to face contact.

Sideways is essentially the lazy face to face cousin of side spooning. Where spooning has the giver behind, sideways has them facing. Different geometry. Different intimacy. Both excellent.

How To Actually Do It

01
Both lie on sides facing
Standard side lying. Faces close. Knees bent slightly.
02
Receivers top leg over giver
The leg drape opens the angle for penetration. Without it the angle does not work.
03
Penetrate from the side
The angle is sideways. Different from missionary. Communicate to find the depth.
04
Move slow
Sideways is built for slow grinding rather than thrusting. Embrace it. Add eye contact and slow breathing for full intimacy mode.
05
Stay long
Like other slow positions, sideways rewards staying. 15 minute mark is when it lands.

The Bottom Line

Sideways is face to face spooning. Lazy and intimate at the same time.

Add to the rotation for slow nights when face to face matters. Underrated. Most couples have never tried it deliberately.
