13 best sex swings you can buy in 2022

THEY might often be misconstrued as something that's only used in heavy BDSM but sex swings are a hugely underrated piece of equipment that can add a lot of value to your sex life.

Whether that's a harness that hangs over your door or attached more permanently to a ceiling, it allows beginners and experienced users alike to try something new without the worry of cramp or lack of flexibility.

Sex swings aren't just for people who are interested in BDSM. Aside from being a way for anyone to explore new sex positions, it's also an excellent tool for people with disabilities who may need some extra physical support.

What is a sex swing?

If you're expecting a typical swing that you might have in the garden, this isn't that.

A sex swing is a harness that is attached to a ceiling or hangs from a closed door. One partner is tied into the harness and is then suspended in the air while the other partner can move around freely.

Basically it makes sex positions that otherwise wouldn't be possible, possible. Not so intimidating, right?

This is a high quality product with a high price to match - £129.99 isn't cheap but this one's worth the investment.

How to use a sex swing

To use a sex swing, firstly make sure it's been safely attached whether that's screwed into the ceiling or securely hung over a closed door because injuries aren't what anyone's after when they're getting down and dirty.

Then one partner is secured in the swing while the other moves freely, exploring sex positions that may otherwise not be possible.

It's key to remember that every time you decide to try something new, make sure it's fully consential before continuing.
