Spooning and cuddling both describe types of physical touch. You can cuddle and not spoon, but spooning is a specific type of cuddling. Spooning can be platonic, but it can also be used before, during, or after sex. Couples may use it as foreplay before sex, or spoon after sexual activity.
What does it mean if a guy spoons you?
Sexually, spooning is another form of the doggy style sex position, except laying down, where the two partners lay on their sides. Typically the someone is the "little spoon," with their back to the "big spoon" person, who is facing their partner's backside.
Hugging, snuggling, massage, and kissing all fall under the cuddling umbrella. There's no right or wrong way to cuddle, but these common cuddling positions can pave the way to an epic cuddling session.
