WHAT\u2019S A SEX SWING?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It’s a device that allows\u00a0one person to be suspended during sex. It\u00a0can be\u00a0something you would imagine on a playground to complicated assemblies with all sorts of straps and loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swings make things spicier, more fluid to maneuver, or try positions that normally would burn your muscles after 1 minute or send you to the hospital with a thrown-out back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can also help people who have disabilities, joint problems, muscle issues, or arthritis still have an active sex life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT SUPPORTS THE BODY?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

HAMMOCKS<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 They are flexible, curve the body in a natural way, and are the most comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLATFORMS <\/strong><\/span>\u2013 They are a variant of the hammock –  rigid and leave the back straight. They can be hard or soft depending on padding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STRAPS AND STIRRUPS<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 Some have loops for the legs\/arms and straps to support the back (but usually not the neck)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOUR KINDS OF SWINGS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

TRADITIONAL SWINGS<\/strong><\/span> have a hammock or platform suspended from a three\/four-point stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOOR SWINGS<\/strong> <\/span>are straps and loops with two bars that are secured by a closed door. They are the cheapest, fastest to put up, and easiest to travel with but they sacrifice some flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BODY SWINGS<\/strong><\/span> are a harness that fits around one partner, with straps, loops, and\/or stirrups for the second partner. The hole has similar pros and cons to a door swing, BUT the \u201cholding\u201d partner also needs a degree of strength and stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FANTASY SWINGS<\/span> <\/strong>are suspended from a single hook and attached to a ceiling or a swing stand. They can have hammock or loop supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT ARE THEY MADE FROM?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Given the complicated nature of most designs, you’ll find multiple materials are used to make sex swings. Usually leather, nylon, wood, metal, polyester, foam<\/strong> and other soft material for padding (like neoprene), etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you end up getting, keep in mind how easy\/difficult it will be to clean<\/strong> and how porous the material is (99% of it will be porous to some degree – unless it was pure stainless steel, which wouldn’t be comfortable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

STANDS SOLD SEPARATELY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Yep. If your swing needs to be attached to something other than a door, ceiling, or person, you\u2019re going to have to buy a stand AND\u00a0the swing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some sellers offer a discount if you buy both, but it won\u2019t be much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swings will start around $100 and go up from there, while stands begin around $200.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know someone who\u2019s handy with wood or metal (and you don\u2019t plan on taking the thing down anytime soon), pay them a bit of cash to make you a sturdy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Most of them should handle a fair amount of weight \u2013 some up to 300lbs (136kg) or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just remember to read the product details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Comfort<\/strong> \u2013 Look out for places that could pinch you or swings that bend your back too much (and make it look like you\u2019re giving birth \u2026 unless, of course, you like the position \u2013 the go for it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Greedy Sellers<\/strong> \u2013 As you\u2019ll see in a couple of my reviews, there are a few places that overprice their products by A LOT. That\u2019s not to say you should go stupid cheap with swings (you get what you pay for, of course) but it\u2019s wise to shop around. You could save a few hundred bucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This same stand sells like this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
