For those of you who like being the little spoon when cuddling or sleeping: what do you like about it? I’m curious about the appeal of a position that seems to have a remarkably loyal following.
Is it the warmth? Having someone tucked behind you does sound like an efficient use of another adult’s body heat. A blanket can offer similar services, but its commitment to staying in place is inconsistent.
Or is it the feeling of being held? There’s an obvious appeal to getting comfortable with someone’s arm around you, provided that arm has landed somewhere agreeable. I assume placement matters. Nobody wants to submit a maintenance request after settling in.
Then there’s the practical side. Does being the little spoon mean fewer decisions about where your arms go? Does it help you fall asleep, or is it best for a short cuddle before everyone retreats to their preferred sleeping territory?
I’m interested in which part makes you choose it. The warmth, the closeness, the comfort—or something I haven’t thought of? What makes you settle in and think, yes, this is my side of the spoon?
