How to Use a Sex Swing
I’ve seen many people asking about how to make sex more exciting in their life.
One of the biggest recommendations I have is to either change up the positions that you are using or add some new equipment into the bedroom to give you guys something to use.
Recently I’ve started looking into sex swings and I have to say, if you take the time to learn how to use a sex swing, you can pull off a ton of different positions and have some great fun with your partner in ways you never thought imaginable.
In today’s article, I’m going to be covering how to use a sex swing, providing you with basic information like how to set it up and how to get the most out of it once you are using it.
Before I even start talking about them, I want to state that you don’t have to be strong or flexible to use a sex swing. Any couple can use them, and in fact, it can make positions that were impossible before, possible. So how about we get into the swing of things and start talking about how to use a sex swing and all the relevant information around it.
Why Use a Sex Swing?
I always say, if you want to learn how to use something, you need to first decide why you want to do that. This knowledge applies to when you want to learn how to use a sex swing. Sex swings look like that they take a lot of flexibility and effort to use while in fact, they are the exact opposite.
The goal of a sex swing is to make your sex that much more exciting while also reducing the amount of physical stress that you have to put on your body. Sex swings also allow you to try out all kinds of new positions and even invent your own.
If you are into bondage, learning how to use a sex swing can also help bolster your BDSM sessions. You can use it to tie a person down in the air, giving you much more access to their body for you to play with.
The last reason why you’d want to consider using a sex swing is that you are physically impaired in some way. People who suffer from physical disabilities might or weaknesses in their muscles can still engage in sexual acts through the use of a sex swing.
Overall, if you take the time to learn how to use a sex swing, you open up a ton of different options for you and your partner. It is one of the main reasons I have started to learn how to use a sex swing and after using it with Ben for a bit, I decided that you guys had to get some of this information.
Types of Sex Swings
When shopping around for sex swings, there are four main types out there that you need to be aware of, each with its own unique characteristics. I’ll briefly describe each one to give you an idea of how they can be used.
Sex Slings
Sex slings contain a panel that helps to support the entire body and hoist the person up. The panel can be made from a variety of different materials and will often feature multiple mounting points to help hold it up.
It is one of the most basic sex swings out there and it also is one of the most limiting as you will find you aren’t able to do nearly as many positions as you could with some of the other types.
Traditional Sex Swings
Traditional sex swings will have two primary straps and stirrups for the legs. When it comes to installing a traditional sex swing, you can look to use ceiling hooks, stands, or even use it in a narrow hallway.
You have access to the largest amount of sex positions when using a traditional sex swing and it is why it is a favorite for the bondage community.
Door Sex Swings
Just like they sound, door sex swings are installed over a door and kept in place by a door frame. They also have a limited amount of positions but they are the easiest to install and can easily be taken down when you are finished. Door sex swings will come with leg straps and if you want you can upgrade and get handles as well.
Body Sex Swings
The final type of sex swing, the body sex swing is one where a person wears a harness on the body that has harnesses and leg straps to support another person as well. It can help to create standing sex positions.
Installing Your Sex Swing
When it comes to setting up and using your sex swing, you have a variety of options. I’ll cover some of the most popular out there and you can decide what is best for the current situation you have going. Once you have the sex swing installed, you can then go about learning how to use it.
Ceiling Mounts
The most common way for you to install a sex swing is to simply mount it to your ceiling. You are going to want to get ceiling mounts that you can hook the sex swing to. Once they are installed, simply latch the sex swing onto them and you are good to go.
I do have to add a note here, please make sure that you are not putting too much load on the structural beams of your home.
Some beams are not meant to be load-bearing beams and will be damaged if you attempt to use them with a sex swing. Get a good understanding of your home as well as get a good understanding of how much weight your setup can support.
A Stand
A stand is another great thing to use when learning how to use a sex swing. It doesn’t require any ceiling mounts at all. Simply mount the sex swing to the stand and you are good to go. Not all stands work with all sex swings though so make sure they are compatible.
While stands make installation rather easy, they do consume a lot of floor space and might not work in your room. Always check the dimensions of a stand before purchasing one.
Door Mounts
With door sex swings, all you need to do is install the straps of the sex swing on one and have the remaining material go over the top of the door frame.
Once you have done that, simply close the door and you are ready to use your sex swing as you please. Please make sure that you have fully closed the door, as leaving it open can result in injuries.
Wall to Wall Mounts
These work similar to a ceiling mount, but instead, you are going to want to go to a narrow hallway and install the mounts on both walls. These will serve as your mounting points for the swing and simply install it from there and you are good to go.
Now that we’ve mounted our sex swing, it’s now time to get to the next step in learning how to use a sex swing, getting into it.
Entering a Sex Swing
Getting into a sex swing might be a little challenging at first, but with a little practice, you are going to become an expert in no time. The first thing you are going to want to do is make sure the sex swing is stable. Hold on to the seat and the straps and get your body onto the swing. Now you are slowly going to put your legs into the stirrups one at a time.
It is completely normal to feel like you are going to fall out when doing this, especially if it is your first time. As you don’t fully trust the swing yet, you are going to be a little nervous. If you are struggling, you can ask your partner to either help stabilize the swing for you or help to get your legs in. When doing this, you should be leaning your body into the main area of the swing so it can be used to support you.
Having Sex
Well, now that you’re fully in the swing and ready to go, it’s finally time to learn how to use a sex swing and start having sweet passionate sex in it. Sex swings are all about balance so the first few times are definitely going to be a learning curve. I would give tips on balancing, but every sex swing is different and depends on how you are mounting it.
Take a couple minutes to learn how to balance yourself before hopping straight into sex. Doing this will greatly help you learn how to use a sex swing and allow you to jump into more advanced positions rather quickly. Let’s get to the good stuff now and talk about some of the positions that you can start to experiment around with.
Standing Missionary
With this position, you are going to want to have the straps supporting your upper back, your butt, and having your feet in the stirrups. It is very similar to standard missionary sex, however there is more motion involved and you can definitely make it more exciting.
The person standing can use the straps for support and they are simply going to rock you back and forth, using the momentum of the swing to help with vaginal penetration.
While this is happening, you are going to want to lean back and spread your legs so your partner has full access to your vagina. It is one of the easiest positions and I recommend doing this one first when learning how to use a sex swing.
Doggy Style
Another take on a classic sex position, this time you are going to want to be supported in the upper and lower back and have your feet in stirrups. I will say that this works best if your sex swing has two seats as it really allows you to comfortably assume the position.
Just like with doggy style, you are going to want to be bent over with your back towards the air. I recommend having some sort of support in front of you that you can hold onto such as a bar or the floor.
I’ve heard stories of doggy style getting a little too intense and the man thrusting the woman out of the swing and onto the floor. While that might sound scary, it’s an easy fix and this is still a great position to try when learning how to use a sex swing.
Cowgirl and Reverse Cowgirl
With most sex swings, I’ve noticed that the male is generally in control while the female is the one in the swing.
I love these two positions as it helps to give me the power to dictate the flow and speed of sex. For this position, I had Ben recline all the way back in the swing with the straps supporting his hips.
I mounted him from there and used the leg straps to give me a bit of support. I was able to dictate the speed here and I loved being able to have a little bit of control. We even tried reverse cowgirl and I would say it is definitely worth trying out when learning how to use a sex swing.
Hanging Ass Out
This is a more difficult sex swing position and requires you to know how to use the straps to support your body.
You are going to want to have the straps supporting the lower back and the area just under the butt while having the leg straps wrap around your knees. If you have gotten into the position correctly, your butt should be angled downward.
If you are a couple that is into anal penetration, you are going to love what you can accomplish with this position. It took a bit of time for me to get into the position and feel safe, but I did love the anal play that we had.
I also found that if I raised my butt we were able to throw in some vaginal sex as well. I wouldn’t recommend this position when you are first learning how to use a sex swing, but after a few attempts, you should look to give this a try.
Solo Swinging
You don’t always need to have a partner present to use a sex swing and you can have a great masturbation session by yourself with it.
You’re going to want to sit in the sex swing with your legs in the stirrups and the straps supporting each thigh just below the butt. From there, you can easily spread your legs and start masturbating.
For an even better experience, I look to use some of the sex toys that I have. It really makes things unique and helps me get the most out of the sex swing even when Ben isn’t around to use it with me.
Safety
I feel that I do have to mention that you have to be careful when using a sex swing. You can very easily slip and fall out of a sex swing if you are not careful and this can injure your tailbone or the area that you land on. Make sure that you are properly strapped in before you attempt to have sex.
The other thing you need to be careful about when learning how to use a sex swing is the load and weight. If you have not properly installed the mounts, the sex swing might not be properly supported and could collapse. This once again can lead to further injury. Always make sure that you have properly mounted the sex swing before you decide to use it yourself.
Final Thoughts
I spent a few weeks learning how to use a sex swing and I was quite happy with what I accomplished. It definitely is a a unique way to have sex and I found that me and Ben were able to go at some of the more extreme positions for a much longer period of time.
While we didn’t get to try BDSM out this time around, we are currently looking into bondage ropes and harnesses to tie me down. I strongly recommend that you give a sex swing a try if you are looking for a way to spice up your relationship and the sex that you have.
There might be a slight learning curve at the start when learning how to use a sex swing, but as I mentioned, after a few days of using it you guys will become pros and have your own favorite positions and ways to use it. I hope you have learned a lot more about sex swings now and I also hope that I might have inspired you to learn how to use a sex swing with your partner as well.
