Spooning

There is absolutely no medical reason to abstain from sex if you've had a big meal. However, you can make things easier for yourself by choosing a lying down sex position as these stop your stomach from becoming extended. Even better is lying on your left side whilst you have spooning sex! Not only is this position intimate and deep-penetration friendly, but lying on your left actually aids your digestion and prevents the side effects of over-eating like acid reflux!

How to do it

Lie on your left side with your partner cuddled in close. The penetrative partner enters from behind. With no torque, this position is totally tummy friendly!

Just remember to take it slow! Not only can excessive movement make you feel nauseous, but expending too much physical activity after eating slows your digestion, and might leave you feeling even more bloated than before!
