Spooning posision. Love it but it hurts. Any sugestions?

[Gilgland]

I love spooning...not necessarily in a sexual way but just when cuddling or sharing a bed with someone. Only problem is when I wake up my arm will be achy all day. I am always the person in back and I usually will have my bottom arm under the person's head/neck with their head resting on or just below my elbow and the top one wrapped around there midsection. My bottom one is always the sore one in the morning. My guess is that the weight of their head is cutting off circulation but I dont see how else to do it. Any advice on how to reposition so that this dosnt happen?

Hey there!

My boyfriend and I like to spoon on cold nights too He's usually behind me, with his arm under my neck, with both arms wrapped around me tightly. My head on the pillow when I'm asleep doesn't squash his arm... Maybe tell your 'little spoon' to rest her head on the pillow rather than your arm, If I have my weight on my boyfriends' arm he gets achey too. Failing that, you could always swap being big spoon and little spoon when you get a bit sore.

Best of luck!

I'm also often 'the big spoon' and so I tend to just curl right up and not have my bottom arm underneath my boyfriend at all. I sleep with an arm under the pillow anyway, so I just do that but move my arm further back so my elbow is underneath my head (with pillow in between). I'll have my other arm round him

Ya know Ive tried the pillow trick, last night in fact, and still have the sore arm thing...I don't know y I haven't tried it but it may work better if,whether or not I try the pillow again or not, I have my lil spoon put her head on my upper arm instead of the lower part. Thatd also let me wrap my bottom arm around her instead of jus havin it flopped out straight like I do now, whitch sounds like more fun....its always the obvious answers that are hardest to figure out Thanks

hehe That was great...and actually had some good ideas. The only thing with the superman tho is my arm goes 2 sleep if its up past my shoulder....but some of the other things might work. LOL I have a lot of the "fleshy bit" they referred to in the video...the "star gazer" might be a good option tho...depending on how intimate I am w/ the person (I have a few female friends who I occasionally share a bed with.) thanks
