Really, spooning is just an intimate cuddle. The participants lie next each other, on their sides, facing the same way and adopt a foetal-like position. It's called 'spooning' because it resembles two spoons. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, then don't. There isn't a legal age or anything like that.
Just to make sure there is absolutely no confusion here - there IS a sex position called 'spoons' or 'spooning', which is exactly the same...except the male inserts his penis into the vagina. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
