koalaing 

To engage in a cuddling position that is similar in design to spooning, with both partners maintaining chest-on-back contact while facing the same direction and laying on their sides, but with the distinguishing characteristic that the smaller partner is positioned on the back of the larger partner with the smaller partner's arms wrapped somewhere around the larger partner's body. The position resembles a smaller koala holding onto the back of another koala, thus the origin of the word.

There is nothing inherently sexual about engaging in the position, but like all cuddling, it can very easily lead to sexual encounters especially given the ease of access the smaller partner has to the larger partner's goods. Very often however, this style of cuddling satisfyingly follows such encounters.
We were cuddling in bed after some ravaging sex, but my back was getting cold so I rolled over and she started koalaing me.

Koalaing 

Where you latch yourself to your significant other in an attempt to hold on (cuddle closely) as a cute koala would to a eucalyptus tree. Also koalaing refers to holding on to something very tight or someone as if dependent, or cudding by wrapping your arms and legs around the person as if they were a tree.
"My girlfriend is so good at koalaing, she can hold on even when I walk up the stairs."
