As an eating utensil, the spork—a spoon-fork hybrid that is neither functional as a spoon nor a fork—is not great. (Srsly, are there any foods that can be properly stabbed with those lil jaggedy tines?) However, the spork sex position does a much better job of combining two good things.
“The spork is halfway between spooning and sex,” says psychologist Lori Beth Bisbey, PhD, accredited advanced GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) therapist, sex, and intimacy coach.
The spork might sound kind of complicated, but it’s very easy to do. “The receiving partner lies on their back and the penetrating partner aligns their body at a right angle to them. The penetrating partner can remain flat or prop themselves up with one arm, and the receiving partner can put one leg over their partner’s shoulder or both legs over their hips,” explains certified sex and relationship coach Renée Hilliard, MD. (Fear not. The illustrations below are your friends.)
Once you get it right, the benefits are bountiful. “The penetration is deep and there is more clitoral stimulation,” says Bisbey, noting that the position works for all genders. It’s also a good face-to-face position. “The spork allows for eye contact, which may feel intimidating, but it can create a deeper intimate connection,” says Hilliard. “And the angle of penetration in this position can produce the sensation of increased girth if that’s something the receiving partner desires.”
Other bonuses? It doesn’t require a ton of strength or stamina for either partner, so it can work well for interabled couples. “It also gives the receiving partner a break from supporting their partner’s weight which can be a great choice with a larger partner, on a full stomach, or during pregnancy,” says Hilliard. (If you or your partner are pregnant, here are 20 pregnancy positions to carry you through three trimesters of sex.)
But best of all, if you’re among the practically-every-vulva-owner who needs clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm, the spork leaves your hands free for masturbation or a favorite toy.
Here’s how to get your spork on.
