What is a Sex Swing?
Sex swings are classified as position enhancers because they take your sex life to new heights (pun intended!) and allow you to get into positions that you could not achieve without their assistance. While they were originally used in BDSM, a sexual swing isn’t just for kinky couples. In fact, anyone can use a sex swing to enhance their lovemaking.
For the person who is being penetrated, it allows them to facilitate complex positions and hold them for a longer time, even if they are not very flexible. For the penetrator, it lets them have sex in a standing position, which allows for deeper thrusting and leverage.
Sex swings are ideal for people who have mobility issues, such as flexibility or stamina difficulties. A plus-size sex swing is also helpful for those who have excess weight. It allows receivers to open their legs wider (spreadeagle style) so their lover has better access to their genitals, for improved oral, anal, and penetrative sexual positions.
There are many types of sex swings and slings available, and they may differ in design, how they are set up, and the type of material they are made from. However, most feature a sling to support the bottom and one for the back, as well as adjustable stirrups for the legs.
And despite what you may think, they are not difficult to set up, and nor do you need a lot of space. There are over-door sex swing kits that don’t require any challenging installation or power tools, which are perfect for beginners. Find out more about these below.
Types of Sexual Swings
Sexual swings come in various designs, each with its own benefits. Here is a breakdown of the main types, including which ones might be the best for you.
Door Sex Swings
An over-door sex swing mounts over the door, hence their name. This style of door-jam sex swing is perfect for beginners who don’t want a permanent fixture on their ceiling but still want the benefits of weightless sex and enhanced positioning. They are also easier on the pocket for those on a budget, take up less space, and are portable for travel or hiding away when not in use.
The Sportsheets Sex Swing Door Jam Kit is one of our bestsellers, with a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating, and over 58 reviews.
“This all-in-one sex swing provides lovers with smaller spaces the ability to explore sexual experiences they previously could only dream of. By simply sliding the bars over the top of a sturdy door and pulling it shut, the world of sexy suspended positions is unlocked.” - from Lovehoney’s description.
Roof-Mounted Sex Swings
Roof-mounted sex swings are mounted to the ceiling, a wooden beam or A-frame. The advantage of this type of spinning sex swing is that they can be attached anywhere there is a sturdy ceiling beam, and they spin around to facilitate multiple angles and positions. The 360 sex swing is a wild ride that lets you master every position in the Kama Sutra!
Roof-mounted models are the most popular choice, and some feature sex swing accessories, like headrests, handles and bondage cuffs. They are more suited for couples who own their own home and have lots of space. These require a hole to be drilled in a ceiling beam to mount the eyehook and heavy-duty spring that holds the swing.
The Bondage Boutique Deluxe Fetish Sex Swing is another bestseller with a 4.5 rating. “Made from industrial-grade steel and reinforced support straps, this position enhancer hangs from any ceiling and is fully adjustable for night after night of wild exploration.” - from Lovehoney’s description.
Sex Slings
Sex slings are built like a hammock, offer the most support and are the most comfortable. The only downside is you can’t get into as many positions as you can with the ceiling-mounted model. Most are built like a sex swing, with a frame that makes them super sturdy. They are an ideal sex swing for plus-size people and those with mobility issues or who are differently abled.
Our two hottest models include the Bed of Roses pink sex swing, and the Purple Reins Sex Sling. Again, these comfy sex slings have 4.5 ratings and will have you swinging from the rafters in no time!
“Ultra-padded for supreme comfort and fully adjustable for the perfect height and angle… Plus, the use of Nylon over leather means this sling is generously padded, offering the lifted partner out-of-this-world levels of comfort. Maximum comfort = maximum pleasure.” - from Lovehoney’s description.
How to Use a Sex Swing
There are a variety of potential ways that you can use a sex swing to enhance your sexy time with your partner. These include:
Mixing up your regular routine to facilitate multiple or difficult positions that would be too hard, or even impossible, to get into otherwise.
Kinky bondage play with BDSM equipment like bondage cuffs, restraints and other sex swing accessories.
For weightless sex and a fun erotic adventure!
Sex Swing Positions:
Sex Swing Oral Style
Sex swings are perfect for oral sex positions, as they allow the receiver to spread their thighs wide, lean back on the straps and just enjoy the ride!
Male Sex Swing with Woman on Top
Bother partners can sit in a sex swing if it is sturdy enough, with the male (or penetrating partner) sitting on the bottom, and the receiving partner in Reverse Cowgirl or Woman on Top positions.
Suspended Doggie
Doggie-style position is even better when you are suspended in space, with the receiver lying face down with their chest and hips supported by the swing’s straps, and their partner pulling them towards them for vaginal or anal penetration. A sex sling is perfect for this position.
Sex Swing Safety and Comfort
When using a sex swing, it is super important that the partner being suspended is comfortable and fully supported so they can relax and enjoy the experience.
Ensure that the adjustable straps are fitted properly to support the back and bottom and that the legs or feet are comfortable in the stirrups.
Keep the lines of communication open during play. The Dominant partner should check in regularly with the receiving partner. An important part of BDSM play is safety, trust, and open communication. Check out our “What is BDSM” guide for more tips on power dynamics.
Sex Swing FAQs
1. How much weight can a sex swing take?
Most ceiling mounted sex swings take up to 330 pounds (150 KG), so are sturdy enough to hold most partners together. Door sex swings can hold about the same weight.
2. How do you set up a sex swing?
Installing a sex swing properly is the most important consideration when using one, as it needs to be sturdy enough to hold the weight of two adults.
Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only the sturdy eyehooks and other sex swing attachments that come with the product.
When mounting to a ceiling, choose a spot that has a ceiling beam for solid mounting, or an open doorway jam.
If you don’t have a sturdy ceiling, you may want to consider the over-door sex swing, which can hook over any door for weightless sex.
3. Are over-door sex swings durable?
Yes, absolutely. An over door sex swing is just as durable as a ceiling-mounted model. Most are made of strong, thick Nylon material and ultra-sturdy, acrylic barbells that hook over the door for suspension.
