How BDSM Furniture Will Enhance Your Play

Intended to enhance BDSM play, BDSM furniture - from sex chairs to spanking benches to bondage tables - is the ultimate level-upper. Though conventional household furniture can similarly be used for saucy purposes - think straddling on an office chair or legs up on the desk - specialist furniture can intensify pleasure for BDSM-specific acts.

BDSM refers to sex practices involving bondage, discipline, submission and sadomasochism. Typically, partners assume different roles depending on dominant and submissive parties. The dominant role is often referred to as the dominant, master or top, and the submissive the slave or bottom.

Remember: safe words and aftercare are vital aspects of BDSM play. Discuss your boundaries beforehand to understand how you’ll use BDSM to enhance your intimacy. Don’t consider it a one-conversation topic, either: have regular check-ins.

Ergonomically, BDSM furniture is typically more suited to kinky needs, allowing an extra layer of flexibility and comfort. Doing it on the kitchen counter always feels dirty and there’s an enticing allure in that, but if you want to go for longer, you’ll need to invest in something softer and more durable. You don’t want to have to justify any breakages to your landlord as “wear and tear”.

Bondage Furniture to Complete Your Sex Room

Sex Chair

The sex room - or sex dungeon - is the essential accompaniment to any BDSM fantasy.

Designed to enhance positions and pleasure alike, the sex chair is the perfect first addition to any BDSM furniture collection. Its allure lies in its versatility: suitable for couples and solo use alike, it can be used for oral sex, penetrative sex, or even to capture those saucy, innovative angles for nudes. Sneak a hand below to grab a panty photo that’s so innovative it could hang in the Louvre, or even snap from above for a flattering boob shot.

Equally mind-blowing for face-sitting, a sex chair suits anyone with anxiety about putting weight on their partner whilst receiving. It also means that you have the benefit of extra gravity, facilitating intense, core-inducing pleasure. For an exotic bit of solo play, try placing a toy beneath for a confidence-boosting bouncing session. Now that’s a boujie wank.

A sex chair is also fitting for a bit of on-top, cowgirl-style penetrative action. Supporting the hips and knees, it gives that extra bounce for greater G-spot access and stimulation, allowing you to dig a little deeper. And if you struggle with toys or penises falling out amidst all the excitement, a sex chair glues you in place so that you don’t lose that essential rhythm.

Want to get innovative and try it from behind? Reverse cowgirl also works well with a sex chair, allowing extra intimate skin-to-skin contact for a tight, romantic embrace. Level up with the lotus position and have the receiver wrap their legs around the penetrator, giving that extra leverage to reach the G-spot.

The Bondage Boutique Sex Position Enhancer Chair retails at £79.99. Apt for experimenting with a range of new positions, the exterior is coated in squishy foam to secure comfort throughout. Its strong, metal frame lays a durable foundation, ensuring you and your partner can enjoy marathon-long sex sessions without worrying about any breakages or accidents.

Whether you’re looking to explore new, more difficult positions or revisit easier, established favourites, the Bondage Boutique Sex Position Enhancer Chair allows you all-angle access. Minimising muscle strain and aching thighs alike, a sex chair can wildly extend sexual stamina to give you that longevity should you need an extra boost. One couple - aged 55 and 62 - credited it as a “great help to us and our old hips”.

Want to go wild? The Bondage Boutique Sex Position Enhancer Chair boasts four layers of wide, reinforced elastic, enabling bounce and movability for hours of limitless, boundary-breaking sex sessions. Holding a maximum weight of 150kg, this bondage chair is adaptable and inclusive for all body sizes.

Worried about assembling it? With an easy, accessible flatpack set-up, it dismantles with ease and can be whipped up at a moment’s notice. And if you’re short on storage space, it tucks neatly beneath the bed should you want to maximise room for playing out other sex dungeon fantasies. The first time you set it up can even be used as an exciting, bond-inducing couples’ activity.

A more opulent option is the DOMINIX Deluxe Faux Leather Sex Position Enhancer Chair - ideal for seated restraint play with a 9-inch hole apt for oral or penetrative exploration. For an added element of sexiness, introduce the Bondage Boutique Black Rose Restraints Harness to allow for neck to wrist experimental bondage play.

If you’d like to get flexible, why not try a sex swing? The Bondage Boutique Soft Over-The-Door Sex Swing is an accessible option for something more spontaneous and less permanent, and the DOMINIX Deluxe Fantasy Bondage Swing which comes with an eye-mask and detachable wrist and ankle cuffs - offers 360-degree ecstasy.

Spanking Bench

Want to up your spanking game? Nab yourself a spanking bench. As position enhancers, sex furniture increases accessibility for people with disabilities or physical impairments and the spanking bench is no different. Use it to gain full-circle access to your partner, unlocking a realm of erotic possibilities for full-body ecstasy.

Spanking entitles either a hand or an object being slapped against the skin to provide sensation, bringing circulation to the skin’s surface and increasing sensitivity. Spanking can be enjoyed as part of role play, a punishment, or during sex, but it doesn’t always necessitate pain. It can be used with pleasure-inducing practices to encourage an endorphin rush.

Remember: always discuss boundaries before trying spanking. Make sure you’re both aware of what you’re using spanking for, whether that is pleasure enhancement or punishment or as part of role play. Set up a safe word so that if things get too intense you can stop play with ease.

It’s also important to practice safe spanking, so target fleshy areas suited to receiving impact such as the bum, backs of the thighs, and the joining point between the thighs and the bum termed the ‘thutt.’ Not all areas of the body are appropriate for spanking, and it can be dangerous to impact above the waist, over the spine or kidneys or over joints.

Why not supply your spanking bench with a paddle? The Lovehoney Satin and Leather Spanking Paddle and the Sex & Mischief Heart Faux Leather Slapper Paddle are well-established favourites. Likewise, magnify the experience and add some restraints to allow for a degree of leg spreading or oral sex. The Bondage Boutique Bound to Please Under Mattress Restraint can be adapted for use on a bench, allowing an extra layer of versatility.

Advanced BDSM techniques to be coupled with restraints include the tie and tease, a progressive form of orgasm control wherein the dominant partner seeks to bring the restrained partner to the point of climax but then reduces the intensity of stimulation or even stops completely so that arousal subsides.

Bondage Stockades

Bondage stockades - like their medieval counterparts - are designed to lock the head and hands between two wooden slabs. Exposing the bum, a stockade can be an exciting way to introduce an extra level of discipline through spanking or penetration.

The open-armed stocks can encourage the legs and bum to part in a similar way, allowing room for experimentation with a sex toy, penetration with a dildo or penis or even oral sex from behind.

Want to broaden your erotic horizons? Pair with the Lovehoney All You Need Bondage Kit, the perfect gift for a doting partner or a sexy co-investment in your sexual exploration featuring blindfolds, whips, nipple clamps, wrist cuffs, bondage rope and more. Invest in the Lovehoney Indulge Silicone Lubricant to slip seamlessly into it.

Bondage Table

Like the sex chair and spanking bench, a bondage table enables greater comfort and accessibility. Perfect for accompanying with add-ons, from the Bondage Boutique Soft Bondage Rope to the Lovehoney Oh! Silky Bondage Restraints, the bondage table can be personalized.

Allowing that extra angle, receivers can lie spread-eagled on either their front or back. Upwards positioning allows for easy access to the nipples. For extra stimulation, the Lovehoney Perfect Pair Silicone Nipple Suckers leave them erect and ultra-receptive to touch. To add an element of pain, the BASICS Collar with Nipple Clamps allows that extra level of possession.

If you’re going from behind, consider a wedge like the Liberator Microfibre Sex Position Wedge to give greater angling for spanking. With a 27-degree angle, Liberator wedges direct precise G-spot contact and deeper penetration for use elsewhere in your sex dungeon.

To sauce things up and widen those legs, the Bondage Boutique Black Rose 20 inch Spreader Bar is an excellent investment with a soft, faux fur feel for additional luxury.

Personalising Your Sex Room

Want to amplify the fantasy throughout your sex room? Introduce mirrors. While it might feel daunting to get up close and personal with your skin, it can be a pleasure enhancer. Adding this extra visual element can inspire renewed self-confidence, helping both you and your partner to double up on the sauce.

The best position to place a mirror is the ceiling, right above the boudoir. Almost an alternative version of voyeurism, watching you and your partner in the throes of passion can be a huge turn-on, and that position is sure to provide all the angles.

Next, think about lighting. Soft, seductive lighting is an essential element of any sex room. Replace one, big light with lots of small, alternative light sources: think lamps with a deep, orange hue, fairy lights or even candles like the Lovehoney Oh! Vanilla Massage Candle. Can’t afford a new lampshade? Throw a scarf over a bulb to enhance the mood, channeling that sexy dungeon aura.

Introducing music to the bedroom can aid relaxation and release stress, augmenting positive vibes and vibrations alike. It can also serve as a distraction from negative thoughts around body image, so if there’s one thing to consider whilst personalising your sex room, it’s the positioning of the Bluetooth speaker.
