To feel even closer, complicit and connected with your partner in bed, nothing better than Swaddling Sex. We explain everything about this practice.
If you’ve never heard of it, it’s time to learn more about Swaddling Sex. Literally, it means “swaddled sex”. But what is it exactly? It’s kind of a cross between sleep and sex. Yes, yes, you read that right. The idea is that you and your partner agree to fall asleep together during penetration.
This practice is not for everyone. If, for example, you value your personal space when you sleep or if it immediately feels uncomfortable, you can move on. Remember, though, that this has advantages for those who like to feel close to their other half.
“Foster a deep and intimate connection”
“The beauty of Swaddling Sex is the extreme closeness people can feel when their bodies are physically connected for this amount of time”explains Searah Deysach, sex educator, to Cosmopolitan US. “Long, slow, lazy sex, when you spend all night in bed, can make you feel connected for several hours.”

Penetration can be done in many different ways, whether it’s a penis in the vagina, a strap-on in the anus or in the vagina – the possibilities are endless. The goal is not to have active sex for eight hours straight, but rather to “foster a deep and intimate connection”says Sandi Kaufman, sex therapist. “During sleep, you can’t be closer to your partner than this. This induces a feeling of closeness and security between you”. Please note that Swaddling Sex, like any other sexual act, must be practiced with the consent of all partners.
How to practice Swaddling Sex?
If you feel ready to try Swaddling Sex, we recommend three positions. You can try the Swaddling Spoon first. One of the easiest ways to practice Swaddling Sex is to do it in the spoon position. The partner who penetrates is the big spoon, and the one who receives is the little spoon. The method is simple: enter, hug, fall asleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night for a few pushes, great!

The second position we recommend is that of the All-Night Hug. To do this, stand face to face, interlace your legs and arms and slowly move on to penetration. Make sure no body parts are crushed, then relax against each other. Take the time to appreciate this moment because there is nothing more intimate than falling asleep with someone you love very much and, above all, while one of you is literally inside the other.
Finally, the third position to test if you want to practice Swaddling Sex is the Cheat Sheet. “If Swaddling Sex appeals to you but seems unrealistic, you can try sleeping naked against each other with your hands on each other’s genitals.”, assures Searah Deysach. This option is ideal for people who don’t like prolonged cuddling or who don’t necessarily want penetration. It’s still intimate and sexy, but you have your own space.
