This 'How to Spoon' video narrated by Dexter's Michael C. Hall gives all the men in the world some necessary "how to" tips on spooning.

Mocking the [1950s videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fight-teeth) made for the threat of Nuclear attack (think "Duck and Cover"), the 'How to Spoon' video goes through all the [various arm and body positions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-training-for-grownups) which can make spooning more enjoyable. There's the 'T-Rex' pose as well as the 'Dutch Oven,' if your partner and you have been dating for more then three years.
