Sex sling designs.

I'm intrigued by the idea of building a sex sling. Before putting the work into designing/building one (or at least designing one - I'd need to discuss it with my wife) I was interested in feedback from people who have one. There seem to be two main designs - straps that offer point support and a solid sling. The straps seem more flexible, but the solid (or sometimes woven) sling seems like it might be less likely to dump someone on the floor.

I'm interested in flexibility. We'd probably start with vaginal, hand and oral use, but I would want one that would work well for anal and toy play as well as (possibly, why not) enema use. It seems like most are designed for on-the-back use, but anyone have one that works in doggie as well?

Other tips?

I'm not sure if you've seen something like this swing but you can get some ideas from it. http://www.sexswing.com/product/fantasy-swing/ It's all straps and stirrups and, as you can see, provides many different positions for both the active and passive partner.

# 2 message thank you for the swing information

The one down at my club is simple and offers a lot of support. Four chains holding a hammock like rectangular piece. I can vouch for it's long term comfort. Some of the ones that are all loops, and straps look like I would spend more time, and effort keeping from falling out, that using it.

This one looks excellent. For anal, just slide forward a bit, and maybe lift your legs a bit higher.

We have a sling very similar to the one another member mentioned on Amazon that we got 20 years ago at The Leatherman NYC if I recall correctly.

I will say that if you look at the others for same on Amazon, you can see several others where the legs are not all connected and mutually supporting at the floor. DO NOT BUY THOSE. The weight of the person plus thrusting causes those legs to spread and scratch the floor. You also want the leather sling to be suspended by four chains--one at each corner--NOT suspended by one chain like the one laurabbush mentioned. The last thing you want is to have a single bolt pull out of the ceiling or the frame supporting the sling and to go flying to the floor on your back.

I have a yoga sling that has doubled as a sex swing a few times. It’s bolted into a doorframe and has 2 sets of handles, long and short, for doing various yoga poses and inversions. The central portion works like a small hammock and can either be scrunched up like a swing seat, or flattened out into a larger area to lay back. The 2 sets of handles become either handles for support or a little leverage, or stirrups for feet. I don’t worry about hiding it away between uses because everyone knows I do yoga. My kids even use it as a climbing toy. I’m not in love with it as a sex toy though, it’s a very passive position to be in, I have no leverage to push or thrust back. It turns sex from an activity we’re doing together into an activity that’s being done to me which may be what some people are aiming for, I just don’t find it very fulfilling.

Years ago we bought a swing designed with straps. I installed a heavy duty eyebolt through the ceiling in our large walk in closet. We hung the swing and try as we might we could never get it working right. We gave it away to another couple but never got a follow up.

Though never tried, I think a solid sling is best.

A little side story about that eyebolt. My wife bought a blow up male doll as a gag birthday gift for her daughter's 40th. It was dressed in underwear and to keep it hidden she hung it with hand cuffs (that's another story) from the ceiling. Well, being a new house her daughter was giving a friend an unauthorized tour and opened the door to the walk in. Her daughter slammed the door and said her mother was a "sick-o"!

It was later presented with a round of laughter. Her friend later asked me for more details about the set up in the closet!

Had one that hung from 2 heavy duty eye bolts in the ceiling of the porch. Lots of after dark fun. Loved to just stand and let her swing back and forth with out having to thrust, at least for awhile.

I used to have one in my basement. I suggest you mount one to a very thick beam because a house structure problem is never fun. Even in the name of fun times.

I have a fairly nice leather sling with 4 corner supports and 2 more for the headrest. I've been on slings that have a lumbar support which is a big help and more comfortable. I've rigged in a basement where you can easily eyebolt to floor joists. Presently I don't have it rigged unfortunately. I wanted to put it up in my bedroom but with a plaster ceiling exploring to find attic floor joists becomes a messy project with the possibility of having large chunks of old plaster breaking loose from the lath. Last thing I want is to miss a joist and end up screwing into lath.

That said, when I had it rigged, it was very comfortable, a great way to take an enema since I could clip my leg restraints onto the support chains. I like the equine panic releases for a fast exit.

I bought us a leather sling from Chna.

Pretty cheap and free shipping and totally satisfied with it

Post only to assist new member with info on swings

We have 1 in our basement that gets used rarely, but occasional enough to keep it. Hubby installed it with 2 bolts and it has 2 chains that go to 1 on each side. Has enough chain for height adjustment.

Not everyone is as tall as my hubby who in boots is 6ft 8inches tall!!!
