Sex Furniture – What You Need to Know
There will likely come a point in your love life when your bed, the kitchen counter and the shower just don’t have the same sexual excitement that they used to. But rather than feel hopeless or resign yourself to dull, familiar sexual experiences, it’s time to get creative and try some sex furniture.
Sex furniture is erotic equipment that’s designed to modify your normal position and make it more pleasurable for you and your partner. And while it may seem like a weird addition to your bedroom routine, on average those who use sex furniture have longer, more satisfying sex.
The sex furniture universe is vast, but some key categories to keep an eye out for are:
Assist Furniture
This category includes anything that can help you or your partner get into position for oral and penetrative sex. Sex pillows—like the ones we’ve been seeing Cara Delevingne rock on Instagram and in the wild—and sex benches are some of the most popular pieces in this category. They’re designed to make it easy for couples of all sizes and sex levels to explore new positions.
Ramps are another incredibly popular piece of sex furniture in the contemporary bedroom. Like sex pillows but more rigid, ramps are designed to help you or your partner reach more difficult positions by offering a bit of support. They’re available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and you can easily customize them to fit your own body type.
A more high-tech alternative to ramps are sex swings, which allow you or your partner to take gravity out of some pretty intense kinky positions. These can be found in a variety of styles and materials, and they’re often sold with arm and leg restraints to offer more security and control during sex.
Generally speaking, sex furniture should be made from breathable, hypoallergenic and stain-resistant fabrics and materials that can be cleaned easily. It should also be sturdy enough to hold your or your partner’s full body weight, and should have a good set of safety instructions that include how to properly and safely use the piece. This is important, as a poorly constructed piece of sex furniture could be a real health and safety hazard. The best pieces are also odor-resistant and made from non-irritating materials that are free of latex and phthalates. Those are important factors to consider, as you’ll want to ensure your sex furniture is safe for all skin types and sensitivities.
