How a Sex Swing Can Take Your Relationship to New Heights (literally)
When you shop for new toys to spice up your bedroom repertoire, you’re probably scrolling through different types of vibrators, dildos, lingerie, and lube. But if you want to elevate your sex life (literally), it might be time to invest in a sex swing.
Sex swings might have a reputation for being pretty kinky sex toys (and if you want to go full BDSM on your swing, go for it!), but they’re a great tool for anyone.
Sex swings are great if you have a hard time holding yourself or your partner in different positions, have a big height difference, or just want to have fun exploring different positions that can only be done suspended.
If you’re ready to try a sex swing, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know to upgrade your sex life, from how to use a sex swing to the hottest sex swing positions.
What Is a Sex Swing?
If sex swings look intimidating to you (or you don’t even really know what they are), then we should probably start with the basics. Sex swings are a type of sex furniture. They lift and suspend one partner off the ground while the other partner is free to move around. They’re usually made of rope, fiber, leather, or another sturdy material that can safely hold your body.
Traditional sex swings need to be mounted, usually to the ceiling or a sex swing stand—but you don’t necessarily have to drill holes (pun intended) to elevate your orgasms. Some swings can be hung over your door or in a doorway, meaning you won’t have to make any modifications to your home, and you can pack it up and put it away when playtime is over.
How to Use a Sex Swing
A sex swing can be an ahhh-mazing investment if you want to take your sex life to new heights. But your swing needs to be safe, comfy, and versatile if you want to experience the bliss of mid-air orgasms.
If you’re ready to use a sex swing for the first time, here are some important safety tips—because the last thing you want is a sore back or neck (or worse, a sex injury).
#1 - Mount It Securely
If you’re installing a sex swing, don’t take any shortcuts. Make sure you drill the swing into a beam, so it doesn’t crash down mid-sex. If you want extra support and peace of mind, skip the DIY sex swing and invest in a dual-mount design where your combined weight is evenly distributed between two mounting points.
#2 - Double-Check Your Mount
Trust us: You’re going to want to do a safety check before you start swinging around with your partner. Always check the weight limit before buying a sex swing to make sure it’s the right choice. Once you’ve mounted the swing, sit in it, rock back and forth, and swing around to ensure it’ll support you comfortably.
#3 - Try a Practice Run
When you get your partner involved, start out with a practice run without any sexual play. During your practice run, you should both get naked, play around, and figure out which positions and motions might feel best during sex. And remember: It’s totally OK (and recommended!) to set boundaries! Let your partner know how you want to play, what you’re willing to try, and what’s off-limits.
5 Sex Swing Positions for Mind-Blowing Orgasms
Ready to incorporate your sex swing into your bedroom repertoire? Here are the hottest sex swing positions to make the best use of your new toy.
1. Flying Doggy
Everyone loves traditional doggy style. It’s one of the best positions for vulva owners to stimulate their G-spot and clit—and doing it in a sex swing offers the same benefits. Plus, you can avoid the leg cramps and back strains that come with being on all fours.
Start by laying on the swing seat, using your stomach for support. Lean forward as far as you can and open your legs behind you. Your partner should hold onto you for support as they penetrate you. And if you need something extra, try using your free hands to pleasure yourself or stimulate your sweet spots with your favorite clit vibrator.
2. Mid-Air Oral
Weightless oral sounds pretty great, right? Just hold onto the straps, lean back, and enjoy the sensations while your partner uses the swing to rock you back and forth and side to side over their mouth. As the receiving partner, your whole body should be suspended in the swing while your partner is kneeling or standing in front of you.
3. Assisted Anal
Whether you’re an anal newbie or just trying to find the best angle, anal sex can be tricky. The good news? A sex swing offers more options, so you can find the most comfortable angle. Start by getting into the flying doggy-style position. Then, move around and experiment with different angles to find the perfect position for anal.
4. Swinging Cowgirl
Cowgirl is fun, but it can get exhausting—fast. When you need extra support to keep the fun going, try using your sex swing for some extra help.
Climb into the swing sitting upright, and ask your partner to pull up a chair facing you and sit behind you. This way, you’ll be able to ride your partner with minimal effort, and your clit will be aligned with their pubic bone for extra stimulation. Sounds like a win-win, right?
5. Suspended Surprise
Want to mix some BDSM into your sexcapades? With the help of your partner, suspend yourself in a swing with ankle and wrist fasteners. And if you’re feeling extra kinky, add a blindfold. Will your partner surprise you with gentle kisses between your legs or tease your erogenous zones? Will they see how many times your vibrator can bring you to the edge of climaxing? You’ll just have to find out. Just remember to go over safe words and boundaries ahead of time.
