Face sitting is a BDSM activity that involves one person sitting on another person’s face, usually to stimulate the genitals. This act can be both dominant and submissive, and it can be performed for sexual pleasure or as part of a BDSM power dynamic. In this article, we will explore the ins and outs this practice, including its history, the different types, and the ways in which it can be performed safely and consensually.
The History of Face sitting
The history of face sitting dates back to ancient civilisations, where it was used as a form of domination and submission in sexual relationships. In ancient Greece, for example, it was often depicted in art and literature as a way for a woman to exert power over a man. During the Middle Ages, it was also a common form of punishment for women who were accused of witchcraft or other crimes.
Types of Face sitting
There are several different types, each with its own unique characteristics and purposes. Some of the most common types include:
- Traditional: This type involves one person sitting on another person’s face, usually to stimulate the genitals.
- Smothering: This type involves one person completely covering the face of another person, often to the point of suffocation.
- Queening: This type is similar to traditional but it involves the person sitting on another person’s face using a throne or chair.
- Reverse: This type involves one person sitting on another person’s face while facing their feet, rather than their head.
How to Perform Face sitting Safely and Consensually
It is important to always practice safe and consensual BDSM, including when engaging in this practice. To ensure that you and your partner are comfortable and safe, follow these steps:
- Communication: Before engaging in any BDSM activity, it is important to communicate with your partner about your desires, limits, and boundaries. This will help to prevent any misunderstandings or discomfort during the act.
- Safe Words: Establish safe words with your partner that can be used to indicate that the activity should stop immediately.
- Limit Physical Pressure: It is important to limit the amount of physical pressure that is placed on the face. This can be achieved by using pillows or cushions to cushion the face, and by being mindful of the amount of weight being placed on the face.
- Practice Good Hygiene: It is important to practice good hygiene when engaging in any BDSM activity. This can be achieved by washing your hands, using dental dams, and avoiding any bodily fluids that could transmit infections.
