When your the big spoon how do you keep your earthward arm from falling asleep?
-
I’ve tried putting it under the little spoons pillow, but it always gets weird pins and needles numb and hurts by morning. Thanks!
Because of that I only spoon in space.

There’s nothing more romantic than falling asleep spooning, waking up and softly whispering to your partner “my shoulder’s dislocated, get off me.”
This is the dream

You don't actually spoon the whole way, just up to the waist, leaving a bit of a gap between your chest and partner's shoulders.
Upper arm goes round partner as normal, lower arm rests elbow on mattress, forearm vertical across their back, hand holds their upper shoulder.
Plenty of contact still, but your arm doesn't die, you don't get their hair tickling your face all night and you get to use your own pillow.
I don't understand. Can you draw a diagram?

I mean, how serious do you want to get?
Shut up and take my money

I've seen a few ideas like that posted before and people had always ended up calling it things like "the spider hole."
As a broad shouldered side sleeper, I would like to test it out, but I can only imagine what things would disappear down that hole...

Also called "jetpacking" (especially if the smaller person is gassy).
What if you're the jetpack but your partner is gassy? Damn lactose intolerance.

That's where my bedside table gun would migrate to.

Pretty nice though, forget tableside, I bet you could stash a whole ass shotgun down there!

I read this in the "Watch those wrist rockets!" way and completely lost it.

That's like a metaphor for our whole relationship. I'm out. I'll meet you at the food court.

This would work if my bed were no lt an unconscious battle field for space; if no-man’s-land exists it will be eagerly taken up, any inch given is another inch towards my partners unconscious goal of making me fall off my side of the bed. Either that or they want to be close to me. But a good thought

Wait until she goes to sleep. Then get up to fix your arm, get chores done, etc, and go to bed at a more normal time

Along their back or between my legs. Something like this:
My dude, this picture has clarified nothing, lol.

Forgive my terrible phone doodle, but I think this is what's being suggested. Basically, you're groin-to-ass below, but above your chest is not pressed directly against the front partner's back. Instead, you position the lower arm so your forearm runs across their back, and wrap the upper arm over them in a half embrace.

Awesome. I understand now.
