What Is a Sex Swing?
A sex swing looks like a hammock or a hanging chair, but it has two large straps that help to hold your feet in place. Once you're on a sexual swing, your genitals will be exposed and easy for your partner to access.
Materials vary but are easy to clean, like leather or vinyl. The seat is connected to straps that support your body weight. These straps join up at a mounting point, which is either mounted to a stand, mounted on the ceiling, or put into a door jamb.
Why Do People Like Sex Swings?
It typically requires help to get out of a sex swing, and you can't change positions. Because of this, it's often used for BDSM play. The bottom/submissive is usually in the swing, while the top/dominant remains standing.
There are plenty of vanilla people out there who like swings, though! Swings can allow you to have sex in positions that are painful, difficult, or even impossible in bed.
For instance, if two partners are very different heights, a sex swing could make missionary a lot more fun. A swing also allows the bottom to experience penetration at very different angles than would be possible lying down.
A BDSM swing also takes the pressure off the bottom's joints and can support their limbs. Whether you have a disability that affects your mobility, chronic pain, or just aren't flexible, a sexual swing can make sex less painful and more fun.

How Kinky Can a BDSM Swing Get?
In short, as kinky as you want! Swings lend themselves to clear D/s or top/bottom play, but there's really no limit to what you can do. Some swings even come with openings meant for butt plugs, dildos, or vibrators.
If you want to intensify the weightless feeling, try a simple blindfold. A sexual swing can allow for new angles on punishment as well as pleasure, so you might check out our selection of BSDM toys or extreme sex toys.
A BDSM swing can offer a lot of new sensations, so check in with your partner frequently during your first few sessions.
How Big Are Sex Swings?
The smallest swings can be hung over a closed door and only need enough space for you and your partner to stand comfortably. These swings don't leave a mark and can be taken down in between uses, so they're perfect for apartment living.
At the other extreme, some swings can oscillate in every direction. For these, you'll want at least six feet of space all around the swing.
Are Sex Swings Safe?
While they're not without risk, a BDSM swing is safe provided you follow a few instructions.
First, never exceed the weight limit on a BDSM swing. The weight limit on the packaging is the highest weight that the swing can safely and reliably hold. While you probably won't fall if you're a few pounds over, the straps supporting your limbs can weaken over time and break.
Second, always ensure that all supports are untangled, untwisted, and secure. A twisted or tangled strap can't hold as much weight as one that isn't.
Always do a quick check of your sexual swing before each session or scene. Make sure everything looks okay, then slowly press down on the seat to see if it can hold weight.
I'm Fat/Plus-Sized. Can I Use A Sex Swing?
Yes! There are many sexual swings on the market explicitly designed with plus-sized people in mind, and plenty of swings can hold up to 325 pounds.
