like eating an apple with a fork

A "select few" of my friends probably already know this deep dark little embarrassing secret of mine.. but yes, I eat durians using a spoon.
My aunt was the one who 'started' eating durians with a spoon and I used to laugh at how ridiculous it was. Durians didn't taste like durians unless you ate it using your fingers! With the nice creamy texture against your fingertips and when you're done, you could lick your fingers clean. Durians are hardly the posh delicacy to be eaten using a spoon.
But then my mom sort of saw the logic of using a spoon.. cleaner, less messier, fingers don't smell and need not be washed 10 times with industrial soap just to get the smell off.. Then my dad and sis started using spoons to eat the durians.
So I caved into peer pressure and started using a spoon to eat durians. And yes, you can actually eat each piece quite easily, leaving the seed completely naked just by using a spoon. Though it does get kind of heavy/tiring to eat after a while.
