Facesitting
Facesitting[edit | edit source]
Facesitting is a sexual practice in which one partner sits on or straddles the face of the other, typically for the purpose of oral-genital or oral-anal stimulation. It is also known as queening or kinging. This practice can be enjoyed by individuals of any gender or sexual orientation.
Origins[edit | edit source]
The origins of facesitting can be traced back to ancient times, with references found in various cultures throughout history. In ancient Japan, for example, facesitting was depicted in erotic art known as shunga. It has also been mentioned in literature and artwork from ancient Greece and Rome.
Practice[edit | edit source]
Facesitting involves one partner sitting on the face of the other, with the receiving partner lying down or in a seated position. The sitting partner can position themselves in various ways, such as facing towards or away from the receiving partner. The act can involve different levels of pressure and movement, depending on the preferences and comfort of the individuals involved.
Safety and Consent[edit | edit source]
As with any sexual activity, consent and communication are crucial when engaging in facesitting. It is important for both partners to discuss their boundaries, desires, and comfort levels beforehand. Consent should be ongoing and can be withdrawn at any time. It is also important to ensure that both partners are physically comfortable and able to breathe properly during the act.
Cultural and Social Perspectives[edit | edit source]
Facesitting is a practice that can be viewed differently across cultures and societies. In some cultures, it may be considered taboo or even illegal. It is important to be aware of and respect the cultural norms and legal regulations of the specific context in which facesitting is being practiced.
Related Practices[edit | edit source]
Facesitting is often associated with other sexual activities, such as oral sex, dominance and submission, and fetishism. It can be incorporated into various BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism) practices, as well as role-playing scenarios.
