A sex swing is a collection of straps which support the buttocks, thighs and back, forming a swing with stirrups, which is then suspended sometimes with bungee cords–from the ceiling, door or from a stand. The support provided by the swing allows a couple to experiment with new positions and many women love the weightless, bouncy feeling. The swing promotes longer intercourse sessions because the support of the female alleviates the effort required by the male.
There are many different types of swing. My favorite is the Love Swing by CalExotics popularized by Samantha in Sex and The City, because the straps of the Love Swing are padded, so they are soft and comfortable for your feet, ankles, calves and thighs. You can also buy a matching neck support. Comfort comes with a price though–about $350-300 in most adult stores. For those who want a cheaper version, there is the Sex Swing by Topco at about $100, but its unpadded straps soon become painful and detract from the “swinging sex.” I do recommend that you get a stand to hang the swing on, rather than risk your partner’s ass by dangling it from a hook drilled into your ceiling. Bringing the ceiling down on your heads as you bang away may terminate your desire for sex-as well as your lease. The Universal Sex Swing stand is compatible with any of the available swings and is rather easy to assemble.
Assembly takes 15-20 minutes and the pipes of the stand are rather bulky to store (and you would not want to leave the thing out when your mother-in-law visits!). If you want a simpler version of the swing, without the headaches of stands and ceiling hook-ups, I highly recommend the Door Swing. It is a fully adjustable harness that fits over your door and supports up to 200 pounds. Penthouse Store
Warning: if you are not acrobatic or are susceptible to joint injuries, the swing can be a hazard. But if you and your partner are physically fit, reasonably flexible, and looking for something exotic to spice up a dull, boring sex life, try “swinging” your way to orgasm.
