    Is It Time for a Sex Swing? Here Are the Facts

    Cupid's Light StaffBy Cupid's Light Staff13 Mins Read

    Have you ever imagined what it would be like to have the sex of your dreams without any restrictions? You’d have unlimited flexibility to try out new positions. Gravity and weight limits don’t exist, and you can just enjoy your sexy times exactly how you want it when you want it. If that sounds like your dream, you may want to try a sex swing.

    Sex swings may seem intimidating, but they can be as simple or as complex as you’d like them to be. Ultimately, sex swings help support your weight so your partner can have their wicked way with you. The ceiling, door, or stand carry your weight, perfectly positioned at the ideal angle for partner play. If you’re worried about any unsightly hardware that will give you away when you’re not playing, simply get an over the door model or an additional supportive base.

    Sex swings will bring your sex life to new heights, helping you reach new positions you only ever fantasized about but have been too shy or inflexible to achieve. There’s little risk to trying one out with your partner, as long as you stick to low entry points. Have fun with it, and don’t take yourself seriously while using it. This sex toy is meant to help you achieve the sex life of your dreams if you dare to try.

    What is a Sex Swing?

    A sex swing is the adult version of a playground swing, but trust us, you’ll find it a lot more enjoyable this time around. It’s a sex toy that allows one partner to sit or recline off the ground while the other partner has their way with them, penetrating the restrained partner vaginally, orally, and anally. The sex swing is fully adjustable, so it helps you try new positions. Some swings restrain the legs and feet, while others allow for movement for ideal leverage.

    Sex swings can be made with rope, nylon, leather, or even metal, among other materials. Typically they include padding to promote maximum comfort. Some are permanent, with hardware mounted on the ceiling, while others are removable. All can be stored easily for safekeeping once the fun is over.

    Traditional sex swings include straps and stirrups for your feet. Because the swings are simple, they allow for the most freedom and flexibility in trying new sex positions. You can get them with handles, seats, and headrests. Body sex swings encase the body, almost like a straitjacket. Additional straps support the butt, legs, and external controls that the standing partner can use to position you better.

    Door sex swings are installed by hanging them over a door, so you have little flexibility in where you install them. A singular strap along their backside supports the person in the swing, but there can also be additional straps for the legs and arms. These are the easiest to set up and take down.

    Sex slings are the last type of sex swing, and they are more like a hammock. They are comfortable but provide less flexibility. They are supported by a freestanding base rather than hardware or a door frame.

    Using a sex swing is a fun way to spice up your sex life. They aren’t as intimidating as you may think, so if you’re interested in trying one out, read the handy information below on sex swing uses and favorite positions. Then snag one of our suggestions for the best sex swings on the market today. You’ll be off and swinging in no time.

    How to Use a Sex Swing

    The most important thing you can do when trying your sex swing for the first time is read the instructions. They will help guide you through the setup and use process, as well as how to tear down and store the swing after each use. In addition to these baseline instructions, here are several tips to keep in mind when using your sex swing.

    Pick the Best Location

    The type of your sex swing will determine where you can install it. If you have an over-the-door swing, you will need to ensure it fits in your doorway with enough space for movement. Other swings can be mounted to the ceiling, though you’ll want to check first that the ceiling can support the weight of the swing when in use. Estimate that it should hold between 300 and 350 pounds, to be safe.

    If you are using hardware, it should be installed in a discreet enough location that your friends and families won’t ask questions. Some sex swings are freestanding, and you can move them around your home as you see fit. Consider the swing type and identify the best location to aid your sex life.

    Adjust the Straps

    Once your sex swing is set up, make sure to adjust it before you’re ready to use it. This will help you jump to the fun the next time you use it. First, test the swing to ensure it can hold your weight by pushing down. Once it’s steady, get in the swing. Adjust the height to match your partner’s stature perfectly. You want your genitals to match without your partner needing to hunch down—remember, this is as much a sex aid as a sex toy!

    Now that it’s at the right height, adjust any additional arm or leg straps. You want the straps to feel taut and fully supportive when in use. If the straps are too loose, you’ll have to support some of your own weight, which defeats the purpose of the swing. If they are too tight, on the other hand, they will bite into your skin, no matter how much padding is available. You want to be Goldilocks with your swing. Don’t settle until it feels just right.

    Experiment with New Positions

    Now that your swing is set up to your specifications, the fun can begin! Start to experiment with what feels good. Go slow at first. Being strapped in may be jarring at first, so you may need some adjustment time. Once you’re ready, try new positions. Act out fantasies that you’ve seen in porn. Get creative.

    Couple having fun in sexual positions

    Sex swings can help you achieve positions you’ve been unable to do unsupported, so now’s the time to be as kinky as possible. If you don’t know where to start, begin exploring new positions. Communication is critical during the exploratory phase because you’re learning what feels right. Don’t be afraid to egg your partner on, telling him how good it feels and what you want him to do to you. Test out your dirty talk skills as you use this sex toy.

    Have Fun

    New sex toys are meant to be fun, but it’s easy to get lost in your head, stressed out about using the toys right. That goes double for sex swings, as you have to find out the logistics of how it works before you can even start to strap in and get to work. Even as you learn, don’t forget to have fun with it.

    Couple having fun in bed

    Take breaks to kiss your partner as you set things up. Take turns stroking each other’s bodies and turn the setup from a chore to foreplay. Using a sex swing—even for the first time—should be fun. Don’t get so bogged down in the logistics of the moment that you forget that.

    Be Safe

    The last thing to keep in mind before you use your sex swing is to be safe about it. Before you get in it, test the weight to ensure it can handle all you—or your partner!—are working with,and add additional hardware if needed. It will be a huge mood killer if the seat snaps when you try to get in, or if it pulls out of the ceiling.

    Too, while sex swings are a relatively fun and simple sex toy, you may want to consider setting a safe word while you’re using it, especially if you plan on using other sex aids with it. Safe words can help you maintain a sense of control in a situation,even if you’re restrained. It should be a word that’s unique enough that it wouldn’t come up in everyday conversation,but easy enough that it comes to mind quickly when you start feeling uncomfortable.

    We mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: Read any instructions that come with your sex swing for how to properly install it. The instruction manual may even include useful tips to help you make the most of your new toy.

    Sex Swing Positions

    If you’re considering what to do once you’re all set up and strapped in, consider these positions to help get you started. They’re only the beginning, so don’t get too tripped up on the list. Experiment to find what works best for you.

    Standing Lotus

    Wrap your legs around your partner while strapped in the sex swing. Use the swing as leverage to meet your partner’s thrusts or recline back and let them do all the work. The swing will provide additional momentum with each thrust, making you feel each stroke throughout your entire body. You can also wrap your legs around your partner from behind as they take you doggie style.

    Dual Swing

    Have your partner strap into the sex swing and get on their lap. Use the swing’s momentum to glide up and down, getting leverage from the straps. You can also use the floor to help you and your partner penetrate each other. Adhere strictly to your sex ‘ weight requirements if you both plan to be using it. Otherwise the swing could break, or you could cause damage to your home (not to mention yourselves).

    Missionary with a Twist

    Mix up your missionary position with a sex swing! Your partner penetrates you while standing, and you can lay flat, fully suspended in the air, or use stirrups to support your feet. The swing will make this traditional position feel brand new with each stroke. Use the swing for leverage, especially if there are handles or a suspension bar.

    Anal Sex

    If you’ve had problems getting the angle right for anal sex, you may want to try it on a swing! You and your partner can perfectly line up your private parts, adjusting the swing for the ideal angle. To start, position yourself like you’re doing it doggie style, then make adjustments. Grab lube to help the penis glide smoothly in and out. The momentum of the swing with each thrust will heighten the pleasure.

    Top Picks for Best Sex Swing

    Now that you know everything there is to know about using a sex swing, here are six of the top picks across all price ranges.
