Thus far, we have covered a toy each specifically geared towards one of each of the sexes - even though both can be used with a partner for mutual pleasure. So for this week, I decided to go a little further outside the box and pick something that would definitely be an item that would have to be enjoyed together.
Sex furniture.No, I am not talking beds, sofas, chairs and the like, even though all can be used within the bounds of sex play. I am talking furniture which is designed and produced specifically to heighten pleasure during intercourse.
As far as the history of sexually specific furniture, it is a bit harder to tackle. The earliest notation I could find was a comment about a chair (above) specifically made for King Edward VII of England. As he was rather portly, it was harder for him to have sex, so the chair was made for him sometime between 1860-1900 AD for when he visited a Parisian brothel. The chair is still on display in a museum in France to this day.
Many of us are familiar with the sex swing as being the preeminent piece of sex furniture, whether hanging from the ceiling or on it's own swing-set like posts - this piece of furniture is definitely not for the kiddos.
Now quite a few of the pieces I found I had never seen before. And to be quite frank, they look almost clinical. I'm not sure if I would get too into the mood sitting in one of these puppies, but to each his, or her, own.
Place your feet in the stirrups ma'am, and this may feel a little cold. Relax, relax....ah, yes.
And don't even ask me how the big red and blue monstrosity works, because I am not completely sure. I mean, I get the gist, and according to the website, the entire thing vibrates, at least I think it does. It is made in China - the website was filled with mistaken English, so hopefully the instruction manual is a little better.
There are pieces that are now being made that could easily fit in with any decor, and most visitors would not know they were looking at erotic furniture. Most are designed with lush curves, replicating the arches of the body, helping a couple fit together better during the deed, allowing for deeper penetration and less stress on the body.
So loving the optional Cuffkit. I want one of these like you just don't know.
But of course, none of these items would be considered cheap...so for those of us who are just interested in trying out this new dimension in their sexual lives, there are items called "props". They look somewhat like the gym wedges you used in gymnastics while in elementary school, but they absolutely work in what it is they are trying to accomplish...getting you into the right angle for the perfect stroke and deeper penetration.
Investing in erotic furniture is something I would really only recommend to committed partners who enjoy trying new sexual adventures with each other, and have the money and space to appreciate this type of apparatus. And of course, a few fluffy pillows can work just as well in certain cases, but since they have a tendency to wander, well, a stable piece of furniture might come in handy if your partner is a little rough.
Now of course, stocks and pillories used in BDSM can also be considered sexual furniture to a point, but I think we will leave those for another day.
Now, go buy a lot of my books. I want that $400 black esse with the cuffs. And thank you very much.
