Why We Love Reverse Spooning

Being the little spoon isn't just for ladies. Plus, the perfect sex move for spooning.

Are you the big spoon or little spoon when sleeping with your partner? It's commonly assumed that women prefer being the little spoon because they want to feel safe and protected. But many say they also have a need to hug something while sleeping.

The Best Of Tomfoolery 2009

We all grew together and learned more about me in the 2009-er.

What Sleep Position Says About Personality

What Sleep Position Says About Personality

How you spoon can dictate who you are.

If you like to snuggle while you sleep, you're not alone (in bed or in your preference!). Last week, DearSugar discovered that 73 percent of their readers like to cuddle all night as opposed to solely after sex.

Women Like Cuddling

Women Like Cuddling
