Here's the thing: I know it should be thoeretically possible. I've seen it in film and television. However, for the life of me, I can't work out how the hell you're supposed to have sex when you're lying on your side.

It just doesn't seem possible! The sheer mechanics of the position seem designed to crush the girl's leg against the mattress/floor/kitchen table, or to be so hideously convoluted as to prevent the penis getting anywhere near the pussy, let alone close enough to attempt any kind of repetitive motion.

Am I missing something? Are we just a weird couple or is the sex-on-the-side thing just an invention of the media?

PS. My baobei has just pointed out that 'Sex on the side' sounds like a fast food order. Thought I'd share.
 
I notice that he refused to put my other comment; he's just not trying hard enough ;)
 
I'll have an order of sex on the side please -make it a big'un :p


Sex on the side, like spooning doesn't work for us but I was kinda on my side the other day but it's a difficult position to explain *L* I was on my right side with my eft leg bent up. Hubs was straddling my other leg and holding my bent leg for balance.

It worked very well, thanks *grins* I'm not going to go into how we got into that position...it was a great deal of fun, though ;)
 
It's ergonomics rather than athleticism, geography over geometry. Spooning is easiest, the rest comes down (sic) to the equipment to hand, so to speak. You can only comfortably work with what you've been dealt. If your partners vagina is too far forward, it ain't going to reach, at least, not comfortably. And I've never been in favour of uncomfortable sex.

You mean in the back of a Volkswagen?
No... that was just awkward, and she only agreed because she liked doing it in foreign places.
 
LOL, Lauren, that's what I was thinking.


Earl, here are some good photos and descriptions. That position isn't difficult at all, unless you're prone to leg cramps or something. :)

It is possible. Honest.

But like the ladies said.......much easier when you're both on the same side.

It was a long time ago. *blink*

There's always that sort of "T" position if things aren't fitting... so you start out spooning but she tilts so that her vagina comes in line with your penis... it's kind of like reverse cowgirl, only lying down on your side...
I love #2, it's such a beautiful view (and it's easy to do so much other stuff while you're fucking).


Thanks Scarlett, this is a great link.

Stop trying to play on the computer at the same time! :D
 
Lay on your side
spooning is easiest
the person in front places their bottom between belly button and genitals of the person in back
person in front leans forward some and fleshes bottom cheeks
person behind then has access to the hole of their choice... tada'
this is a slow and gentle position.... cant be done fast because this is not a position of deep penetration but more a loving one

Thanks for the illustrations Selena - i found myself somewhat distracted by the man's nasty hair highlights!

Personally I love the spoon positon, both facing the same way. Works well for me... ;)

Yeah, I know... didn't it make you wanna shave his head? :D

Or put a bag on it... :D
But it led me to an interesting look round the site you got the pics from! Very informative (in a purely educational kinda way) ;)
 
I've never found any problem with it. She prefers it that way, so who am I to complain? :)
 
It has never been a problem for me, however I did always run into the problem that I couldn't have an orgasm doing that position at all; it just wasn't happening. However, as of late I have rectified that problem just by lifting my leg a bit.

Much luck to Earl and his lady.
 
Face to face sex while lying on our sides is something I've never done comfortably. Sex while spooning has always been easily accomplished.

"Sex on the side" is also a term for cheating on one's partner!
 
I remember one time we did it very successfully; I had my top leg kind of hooked around his body and the bottom one straight. It went just right. But for some reason, we haven't been able to accomplish again.

I've heard that second position called the Starfish position, not sure why. We do it quite a lot, except that I don't have my leg behind my husband's neck.
 
Pillows are a couple's best friend.

(Contortionists are too, but they're a tad harder to come by.)
