Getting bored in the bedroom?  A sex swing just may be the way to go.

You can have weightless sex and achieve positions that are not physically possible on the bed.  Trip to the moon not required.  They are also great for people who have minor physical ailments, sore backs or who get fatigued easily.  Bonus: Sex swings come fully assembled and with installation hardware.  Take a look at the Pleasure Swing.

What makes the possibilities endless?

Adjustable Straps: Sex Swings usually come with adjustable straps for your back, your rump, a set of stirrups and a torque suspension bar.  When you adjust the length of the straps, the swing-ee may sit upright, lean back, position themselves doggy style or anywhere in between.  The torque suspension bar (the bar that connects the two sides of the metal frame) provides balance and even weight distribution.  More importantly it can be used as leverage – cowgirl position yehaw!  Don’t forget, the nonswinger can always use a chair for certain positions.

Spring Loaded Sex: Most swings come with a spring or bungee that hangs from the ceiling or stand.  That means you bounce with very little effort.  You can keep going and going without getting completely exhausted in a couple of minutes.  The extra movement from the swing also allows you to stimulate each others’ hot spots in ways you couldn’t imagine.  G Spot stimulation during intercourse is possible and can get quite intense with all of that bouncing going on.

Sex 360: Most sex swings have the ability to rotate 360 degrees.  No need to get in and out of the swing to change facings and there are no limitations when you are in the middle of a steamy hot swing session with Pipedream’s Fantasy Swing.

Sex Swing Safety

First of all, you want to check your sex swing’s weight capacity.  Next, and extremely important, make sure you have a ceiling beam or door way that can support the swing!  Even if your swing can hold up to 400 pounds, if you hang it from an unsupportive structure you are going to end up on the ground and on top of each other with ceiling debris all over you.  You could injure yourself!  If you don’t have the proper place to hang your swing, a sex swing stand is the way to go.  They are easy to assemble, disassemble and store.  Plus, you won’t have to put a hole in your ceiling.

Make sure you move other objects and furniture out of your way.  You don’t want to knock over any lamps or run into the coffee table (total mood killer).  Give yourself plenty of room so you can fully enjoy your swing.

Do your research and read the manual.

Notice that I used words like usually and most.  While swings tend to have the same general structure, they do vary between manufacturers.  Some come without springs and they tend to have different weight limits depending on whether or not you use a spring.  Also, if you are going to use the sex swing stand, make sure you purchase a compatible swing.

Have fun and use your imagination. I personally love my swing and I know many couples that sound like an infomercial when they talk about the awesome sex they have had when using theirs.  “Our sex swing changed our lives!”  It sounds a little corny, but hey as long as they are having great sex I’m okay with it.

Without further ado and in no particular order -

1. Do I really need to explain this Saturday Night Striptease favorite?  Take one look at this fiery bombshell and you will know why Blaze Starr was called the “Hottest Blaze Burlesque”! 

2. The O2 Revolution by Tantus offered a little more in size than I usually require, but it quickly became a favorite in my toy collection.  It is made from 100% platinum grade silicone, is hypoallergenic, phthalates free, nonporous, easily sterilized, aesthetically pleasing and downright awesome!  It is perfect for those times when that fulfilled sensation is desired.

3. The Fantasy Swing was an awesome addition to my toy and furniture collection.  My boo and I have enjoyed using it quite a few times – it allows for fun and creative positions during hanky panky time and honestly it just fun to play on even with your clothes on.  It is incredibly sturdy and secure.  Hint: Hanging it from something that can support the load is a must!

4. Fun Factory’s Layaspot is definitely my go to massager.  It is what I like to call fantastical – made from body friendly elastomed, it fits perfectly in the palm of your, has a satisfying range of vibration and rates a 10 on the orgasmatron 5000 meter.  While I feel that my love for this amazing little contraption would be best described through interpretive dance, I will simply quote myself.  “I’d like to give the geniuses at Fun Factory a bunch of kisses for this one.  Or make them cookies; ask for their hand in marriage or some such activity that would hopefully let them know that I love this toy from the absolute depths of my soul.”

5. Pink Silicone Lube.  I love this stuff!  I can’t use it with any of my beloved silicone toys, but it is perfect for toy free partnered play and intercourse.  It has to be reapplied far less often than water based lube, but still washes off fairly easily.  It makes everything silky smooth, soft and slippery without feeling thick and goopy (technical term).  It can almost be described as baby powder like.  Paraben and glycerin free, this stuff is made for women with even the most sensitive of naughty bits.  The classy glass bottle looks fabulous on my nightstand too. 

That concludes my Top 5 of 2009.  It has been great year for toy testing and so much more.  I can only hope that 2010 will be equally as fantastic!  Happy New Year!

I finally got the Fantasy Swing!

The swing has been on my Wish List since the dawn of time.  Well, since I first learned about its existence anyway.  Needless to say, I was excited upon its arrival.The Fantasy Swing comes fully assembled with instillation hardware.  My boyfriend/ Sex Toy Testing Assistant attached the heavy duty steel bolt to our living room ceiling and hooked the swing to it with the karabiner styled hook.  For brevity, I shall call him my Assistant.  He sat in it and bounced around for a while to test its strength.  My Assistant is 6’5″ and weighs about 300 pounds.  It promises to hold up to 350 pounds.  While we couldn’t test to see if the swing holds said maximum weight limit, I felt confident that I could be the swing sitter without it falling out of the ceiling.  What a mood killer that would be!

Just so you can imagine what I am talking about:  It has extra wide padded nylon straps; 2 for your hands, 2 for your feet, 1 for your butt and 1 for your back.  They are all fully adjustable. 

The swing hung in the middle of our living room for a day or two before we performed acts of hanky panky in it.  Friends came over and amused themselves for hours.  One of my best girl friends found that she got a good lower back stretch by hanging on to the hand straps while her feet were “resting” on the corresponding straps.  Her butt hung close to the ground.  They were all proud to say that they helped me test the swing.

As for the swingin’ sex, it was fantastic!  My favorite position was perhaps the simplest position.  I sat on the butt support strap and leaned against the back strap.  My feet were in front of me in their appropriate straps and I held on to the main support.  Are you following me?  My assistant stood in front of me.  He bounced me up and down during our romp session.  It was a whole new sensation for both of us.  He certainly was able to stimulate my g-spot in a completely different way than I am used to.  You can use the Fantasy Swing with or without the torsion spring.  After feeling what the bouncing motion could do for my beloved g-spot, the spring was a keeper!

So the swing is fun for both innocent and naughty play time.  What if I want to take it down when guests come over?  The karabiner styled hook makes it easy to detach the swing.  You will have a hook in your ceiling.  It is a little sacrifice for a lot of fun.  What about switching to different positions?  I found this to be a little difficult, but with practice I would get easier.  Are the straps comfortable?  On a scale of 1-10 I would give them an 8.  The nylon rubs your skin the tiniest bit.

Overall, I loved the Fantasy Swing and can’t wait to experiment with it further!
