sex swings

There are plenty of ways to spice things up in the bedroom. But if you haven't tried a sex swing yet, consider this your sign to add it to the top of your list. When you think of a sex swing, you might think of some bulky thing that takes a while to set up and is located in a room specifically for *those kinds* of activities.

Actually, most sex swings are actually not that complex. In fact, many of them can be easily installed in the comfort of your bedroom and stored discretely. And it's totally understandable to feel unsure about which one to invest in, considering how many are on the market. Luckily, WH has you covered with 11 high-rated recommendations straight from experts. Before we jump in, here's what you should know about sex swings:

What is a sex swing?

"A sex swing is a type of harness that lifts and suspends off the floor, where one partner is suspended in the air during sex," explains Lucy Rowett, a sexologist and intimacy coach. "It provides excitement and novelty to sex and lovemaking, where you can experiment with new positions and just enjoy the thrill of doing it in a harness rather than the bed."

What should I look for in a sex swing?


Here are the three main things to look for, according to Javay Frye-Nekrasova, an Oregon-based sex educator:

  • Weight capacity
  • How it's installed
  • The material

How do you use a sex swing safely?

Thought you'd never ask! If you're a beginner, you'll want to make sure you do a thorough read-through of the directions. "Install the swing before the heat of the moment so that your excitement doesn’t mean you unintentionally skip a vital piece of info that can lead to injury," says Lisa Finn, a sex educator and product expert for Babeland. Once you set it up, take a seat and move around a bit to make sure it's in place.

"Communicate with your partner, and hold onto each other’s bodies for added support as you get the swing of things. Make sure there is nothing on the floor around you and that the swing has a full range of motion without the potential to knock something over," adds Finn.

If you want to be extra cautious, try putting down pillows below you (just in case). From there, you can have fun with it—Try different positions, open up to the experience, and maintain strong communication with your partner.

Pros
  • Has supportive frame
  • Holds weight easily
Cons
  • Difficult to store away

This deluxe sex swing attaches to the ceiling and has an industrial support frame for safety.

"It's for folks that know they enjoy sex swings and can install hardware in the home—so probably not renters," says Frye-Nekrasova. "Since the swing is installed, it can hold more weight and tension, meaning you can be a bit more creative in terms of the positions you try."

Rave Review: "I've been meaning to get one of these for so long now. When I finally ordered this, I was so excited to try it out. I was a bit nervous about it, but it fit to the ceiling perfectly. It's so comfortable when in use. I highly recommend this to anyone!"

    This leather sling is another solid option for those who would don't mind bolting their new addition to the ceiling. While the price point is higher, it comes with support straps and D-rings for bondage lovers.

      Rave Review: "This swing is not for beginners. It is actually a cross between a sex swing and a chest harness. The wearer is essentially wearing their partner, so upper body strength is encouraged. This is great for people that enjoy the closeness of their partner in every way." —Javay Frye-Nekrasova

        So, this technically isn't a sex swing, but it can certainly be used as one. Besides no one would bat an eye if they saw it hung around the house, especially if you're already a yoga enthusiast.

        "If you want a sex swing that doesn't look like a sex swing, try an aerial yoga swing! Yes, it's for aerial yoga, but you can, ahem, *repurpose* it for sexy things," says Rowett.

        Rave Review: "I don't know about yoga, but I now have an awesome swing in my basement! It is fun to use, and you can get some really good stretches in with it as well. It felt super sturdy, and both I and my husband enjoy it greatly."

            Made to hold up to 350 pounds, this sex swing uses a torque bar for additional support while you're moving. This would have to be hooked into the ceiling, so make sure to have your tool kit on deck.

            Rave Review: "The supports are padded and the nylon straps are extra-wide to prevent any digging into the skin as you play and switch up positions. If you’re someone that wants to really get rough with your swing sex, Trinity is a sturdy and solid option." —Lisa Finn

              For many sex swings, having a partner to enjoy it is essential.

It has features that allow you to attach a dildo and pockets to store your favorite toys.

              Rave Review: "The upgraded edition includes a detachable pad that has a sturdy O-ring for strapping in a dildo, and pockets to hold a bullet vibrator in four separate places so you can find the perfect spot, or fill all four for some serious sensation, making this swing perfect for partnered or solo play." — Lisa Finn
