Position of the Week:
Pretzel Swing

Forget the ceiling installation – all you need is a door and a sense of adventure.

This week, find out what happens when you make sex airborne with a door swing... and then totally switch up your leg position.

Why?

Sex swings might seem a bit ‘out there’ for your relationship, but our customers usually love the feeling once they’ve tried it (seriously, check the reviews).

You get this weightless sensation and subtle rocking motion that neither you nor your lover needs to work to achieve. It can be liberating for anyone to experience, but especially those with fatigue, chronic pain, or restricted mobility.

Plus, with your legs raised, your hips tilt upwards, which offers more targeted G-spot or P-spot stimulation. If you didn’t already feel like you’re flying – you will now!

Make it even easier

Do a bit of couple's yoga before you get in position. Not kidding! Receiver, you’ll be more comfortable keeping your legs raised after some downward facing dog and butterfly pose to stretch out your hips and hamstrings. (Hey, you can always do it naked and make it foreplay...)

Don't have the natural physique of a pretzel? Enjoy this position with your legs wrapped around the giver’s hips rather than resting on their chest or shoulders. Adjust the swing so the seat sits roughly at hip height for the giver. They’ll also need to stand a few inches away from the door to avoid bruising their butt (and your legs) with every thrust.

Make it even better

With your body folded up like deck chair and only one hand free at most, don’t worry about juggling sex toys (though we’d pay to see that circus act). For added pleasure, a wearable couple’s toy could do the trick.

Pick one like the We-Vibe Sync Go, which teases the G-spot and clitoris with rumbly vibrations during penetrative sex. Slather the internal arm with lube so penetration feels slick, sexy, and easy.

Or make it a double penetration position: If you’re the giver, use your fingers in an upward beckoning motion to stimulate your lover’s G-spot while you’re deep in their behind. For hands-free mode, grab a double-penetration strap-on. These toys essentially ‘strap’ a dildo below your penis, so you can enter your lover anally and vaginally at the same time.

Make it even kinkier

Let’s go foot lovers! We’ve seen countless comments on the Lovehoney Forum from users who’ve been surprised by how much they love foot play.

Your feet are highly sensitive, so it makes total sense that they’re an erogenous zone for some people. Since yours are already in your lover’s face here, demand a sensual foot rub or offer up those tootsies for sucking.

You could slip into some nylon stockings and stroke the giver’s face and chest with your sexy, stockinged feet. It looks classy as hell, and some people find the look and feel of nylon incredibly naughty.

Swing play also pairs beautifully with a blindfold, making that weightless feeling more intense and maybe even a little belly-swoopy.

Not the position for you?

No matter who you love, or how you identify, we want you to feel represented on our website.
