Note: Before trying any of the sex swing positions in this guide, be sure to read the instructions from the brand you purchased your swing from. Make sure the position you’re attempting is compatible with your specific swing, and always prioritize safety to avoid mishaps. This blog is not responsible for any accidents or injuries that may occur while trying these suggested positions.
A sex swing is a harness that keeps one or two people suspended in the air during sex. It helps couples pull off lifting positions, like stand-and-carry, without all the strain. It’s also popular in BDSM scenes, adding a whole new dynamic to the experience.
Now, you might think a sex swing is complicated or that you need to be some sex guru to use it. That’s not true, though! There are plenty of beginner-friendly positions out there that you can use with this tool.
Of course, some bedroom experience helps before trying a sex swing, but even if you’ve mostly stuck to simpler moves, as long as you follow the instructions for your specific swing, you’re in for an exciting ride. That said, below are some of the best sex swing positions to try with your partner!
To keep this guide inclusive, we’ll be using “giver” for the partner performing penetration or oral sex and “receiver” for the partner being penetrated or receiving stimulation.
1Suspended Self-Pleasure
Type of Swing: Traditional, Sex Sling, Door Sex Swing
Who says you need a partner to enjoy a sex swing? You can totally use it for solo play!
Being elevated adds some novelty to your usual routine. To do this, stick to the simplest and safest position, like the one in the illustration. This is because you’re flying solo, so if something happens, it may be more difficult than with a partner. After that, grab your sex toy or use your hands to touch yourself.
2Face Sitting
Type of Swing: Traditional, Sex Sling
If you want to add a swinging twist to the classic face-sitting or queening position, this one’s a must-try! It offers a new experience for the giver while making things more comfortable for the receiver; no more knee strain from kneeling.
To get into position, the giver lies back on the swing, with the pads supporting their upper and lower torso. The receiver stands over them, positioning their vulva right above the giver’s face. From there, the giver holds onto the receiver’s thighs and starts performing oral sex.
3Swinging Queen
Type of Swing: Traditional
If you love being taken from behind or want a position that works for both vaginal and anal sex, this one’s worth trying! It’s similar to doggy style, but with the receiver suspended for added thrill.
For this position, the receiver places the supporting pads on their chest and knees, holding onto the handrails for stability. The giver stands behind, assisting the receiver as they get into position. Once settled, the giver grips the receiver’s hips and slowly pushes their penis or strap-on into the vagina or anus.
4Behind Closed Doors
Type of Swing: Door Sex Swing
Love using door sex swings, or is it the only type that works for your space? Either way, this simple yet incredibly sultry position is a must-try.
For this position, the receiver sits on the designated seat of the swing, placing each leg on the supported pads on either side. Once positioned, the giver stands before them and initiates the action. After a moment of steamy foreplay, the giver gently lifts the receiver, aligns themselves, and begins rhythmic thrusts onto the receiver’s vagina.
5Bear Hug
Type of Swing: Traditional, Door Sex Swing
If you’re looking for an intimate sex swing position, this one is a must-try. The receiver sits upright on the swing while the giver stands in front, pulling them close for a deep embrace as they slide in their penis or strap-on to the receiver.
6Swing & Savor
One is swinging, the other is savoring—talk about a perfect balance!
The Swing & Savor position is another playful move that involves oral play. It’s super versatile; perfect for either blowjobs or cunnilingus. Adjust the swing’s height so the receiver can keep their feet planted on the floor for stability.
To do this, the receiver climbs onto the swing, but instead of sitting on the main pad, they lean back against it and stretch their body out like lying down. They will then keep their feet on the ground for support.
Meanwhile, the giver sits right in front of them, their face aligned with the receiver’s crotch. From there, the giver holds onto the receiver’s thighs and performs some delicious oral pleasure.
7Swinging Doggy Style
Type of Swing: Traditional, Door Sex Swing
If you’re looking to bring doggy style into a sex swing, here’s how to do it.
First, the receiver climbs onto the swing—but this time, they’ll be on their back. The straps should support their chest and stomach; if there are additional straps, they can be placed under the knees for extra stability. The giver should assist the receiver to ensure comfort and balance.
Once the receiver is in place, the giver positions themselves behind them, holding onto their thighs before gently inserting their penis or strap-on. This position works beautifully for both vaginal and anal sex.
8Swinging Missionary
Type of Swing: Traditional
Here’s a classic position you can easily incorporate into your sex swing. To start, the receiver climbs onto the swing and lies on their back with the giver’s assistance. The supporting pads should be positioned at the neck, upper back, and hips, while the hand/ankle straps should be secured around the receiver’s feet.
The giver then stands in front of the receiver, holding their waist for stability. Once everything is in place, they can then proceed with the deed.
9Swinging 69
Type of Swing: Traditional
Wondering if you can pull off 69 in a sex swing? Good news, you absolutely can!
Since this position focuses on mutual oral pleasure rather than penetration, there’s no set “giver” or “receiver.” It’s up to you and your partner to decide who will be in the swing and who will stand.
Partner A (the one in the swing) should lie down with the pads supporting their neck, waist, and hips. Meanwhile, Partner B stands over them, positioning their crotch above Partner A’s face. Partner B will then lean forward to reach Partner A’s genitals, being mindful not to put too much weight on them.
10Standing 69
Type of Swing: Traditional
Looking for a more adventurous way to try 69 in a sex swing? This variation adds an extra challenge but can be incredibly rewarding!
To do this, Partner A (the one in the swing) starts by sitting comfortably. Meanwhile, Partner B (who will be doing the lifting) stands in front of them. Partner B then gently lifts Partner A and flips them backward, ensuring their legs go outside the support straps for stability. After that, they can proceed with some oral action.
This position only works if Partner B can fully lift Partner A. While the straps help reduce some weight, Partner B still needs enough strength to lift and hold Partner A in place.
11The Floating Embrace
Type of Swing: Traditional
If you’re looking for a sex swing position that lets you stimulate multiple parts of your partner’s body, this move is perfect for multitasking!
The receiver climbs onto the swing, using the supporting pads to rest their thighs and naturally spread their legs wide. For added stability, ankle or hand straps can be helpful, allowing the receiver to hold on for extra support. The giver should assist the receiver throughout the setup.
Once in position, the giver can hold onto the receiver’s waist with one hand while using the other to stimulate their clitoris, nipples, or other pleasure zones. They can also penetrate the receiver from behind.
12Suspended Wheelbarrow
Type of Swing: Traditional
The classic wheelbarrow position gets an upgrade with a sex swing, making it easier on the giver since the swing provides most of the support for the receiver.
To do this position, the receiver should lie forward on the sex swing with the supporting pads positioned under their stomach. The giver then stands behind them, gently lifting their lower body while holding their thighs. This naturally tilts the receiver’s upper body toward the floor, where they can place their hands for added stability. The supporting pads should also be positioned around the receiver’s torso or hips for extra comfort.
Once both partners are in place, the giver can proceed with penetration from behind, enjoying the added support the swing provides.
13Mariposa
Type of Swing: Traditional
For those who love the classic butterfly sex position, you can level it up by using a sex swing!
The receiver lies on the swing with supporting pads under their back and hips. The giver stands in front of them, gently lifting the receiver’s legs and resting them on their shoulders. For added stability, the giver holds onto the receiver’s hips. Once everything is in place, the giver can proceed with vaginal or anal penetration.
14Doorway to Os
Type of Swing: Door Sex Swing
Here’s another position that works so well with an over-the-door sex swing!
The receiver climbs onto the swing, placing their feet on the supporting pads while holding onto the hand or ankle straps (or handles). This naturally spreads their legs wide, creating the perfect setup for oral pleasure. The giver then kneels or squats before the receiver and eats them out.
15The Pendulum
Type of Swing: Traditional
If you have a premium sex swing designed to hold two people, this position is a must-try! However, it’s best suited for advanced users, so be sure you and your partner have experience with other sex swing positions before giving it a go.
To set up, the giver sits on the swing with supporting pads positioned under their upper back and thighs. The receiver then climbs on top, holding the straps for extra support. Once in place, the receiver begins moving up and down, gliding their vagina onto the giver’s penis or strap-on. You might feel some swinging during this position, but that’s just part of the fun!
16Lotus
Type of Swing: Traditional
If you love the Lotus or Yab Yum position, you can take it to the next level with a sex swing! While this position doesn’t allow for intense thrusting, it enhances intimacy in a way that many other sex swing positions don’t.
To set up, the giver sits upright on the swing, planting their feet on the ground for stability. The receiver then climbs on top, sliding their vagina onto the giver’s penis or strap-on while their legs are on either side. This creates a deeply intimate connection as both partners intertwine in a sensual embrace.
17Swing and Swallow
Type of Swing: Traditional
Want to treat your partner to some next-level deepthroating? This daring position is definitely worth a try!
To set up, the giver (the one performing oral) lies face-up on the sex swing, with supporting pads placed under their chest and hips. The receiver (the one receiving oral) stands at the head of the giver, moving in closer until their penis easily slides into the giver’s mouth. The giver can then tilt their head slightly for a better angle and start pleasing their partner.
18Fidget Spinner
Type of Swing: Traditional (With Swivel)
This position looks hella fun, but it does require a specific type of sex swing, one that’s ceiling-mounted with a swivel for full rotation. It’s also best suited for anal play.
If you’ve got the right setup, here’s how it works: The giver lies on their back while the receiver sits on the sex swing, with the pads supporting their thighs and chest. Their hips should be positioned right above the giver’s penis or strap-on. Once in place, the receiver slowly slides the giver’s penis or strap-on into their anus and then starts spinning. If you’re up for an out-of-the-box experience, this one’s worth a try!
Takeaway
Sex swing positions are insanely fun, but they’re also risky AF. That’s why proper setup is a must! Make sure your swing is securely installed, and for extra safety, place a thin mattress or mat underneath to cushion any unexpected falls.
And, of course, always follow safe sex practices. Use condoms for protection, check in with your partner during play, and don’t forget the lube, especially for anal play or when natural lubrication needs a boost.
Now go have fun and swing safely!
