I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of sex swings. Being able to rock your partner back and forth while they are fully supported and your hands are free to roam… what’s not to like?! But my brief experiences with them in the past has always been “meh”.

Those swings were basically wide straps: a broad strap that sits under the hips, another strap that runs under the shoulder blades, and then two smaller stirrup straps for the feet. This sounds good in theory, but in practice it seems like it leaves the… “swinger?” feeling rather unsupported and at risk of slipping out and falling. Which is not the sort of anxious mood you want for sexy times.

But at the RetroFrolic camp at BurningMan I had an opportunity to try a different kind of swing, one with a broad sheet of leather that fully supports the user across the bottom and back. It even has a little head pillow! It was definitely the sort of experience that allowed the user to fully recline and relax in confidence and abandon. Playing with this swing was pretty awesome!

In fact, the experience was so inspiring, I had to have one of my own. *grin* Here it is!

The install was only finished yesterday and I’ve barely had a chance to try it. But so far, it easily measures up to my memories of last month! Yay, for new toys!

If you’re curious, the swing came from a company called Strict Leather that sells through Amazon.
