Face Sitting refers to a sexual act and practice in which one partner sits on the face of another, typically for the purpose of oral sex or as a form of dominance and submission within a sexual context.
In this practice, the partner who is sitting—often referred to as the "top" or "dominant" partner—positions themselves over the face of the "bottom" or "submissive" partner, who is lying down. Face sitting can be a way to engage in intimate sexual pleasure, allowing for direct oral stimulation while also incorporating elements of control and vulnerability.
Additionally, face sitting can be a component of power exchange dynamics often explored in BDSM. In this context, it may evoke feelings of submission for the partner whose face is being sat on, while the sitting partner may experience a sense of empowerment or control. Communication and consent are essential in this practice to ensure that both partners are comfortable with the position and any associated activities.
Safety considerations include ensuring that the partner on the bottom can breathe comfortably and that there is a clear understanding of limits and safe words to communicate any discomfort.
Face sitting is a sexual practice where one partner sits on the face of another, typically with the receiving partner lying down or in a reclined position. The person on top may be clothed or naked, and the act can involve various forms of genital or anal contact with the face of the receiving partner.
Overview:
Face sitting is a consensual sexual activity that falls under the umbrella of kink and BDSM practices. It can involve elements of dominance and submission, as well as sensory stimulation and power dynamics. Communication and clear consent are essential when engaging in face sitting or any other sexual activity.
Detailed Explanation:
In face sitting, the person on top (often referred to as the "top" or the "sitter") positions themselves over the face of their partner (the "bottom" or the "receiver"). This can involve the sitter placing their genitals, buttocks, or anus on the face of the receiver, allowing for intimate contact and potential oral stimulation.
Face sitting can be enjoyed for a variety of reasons, including the sensation of pressure or weight on the face, the intimacy and vulnerability it creates, and the power dynamics involved. It is important for both partners to discuss boundaries, preferences, and safe words before engaging in face sitting or any other sexual activity to ensure a positive and consensual experience.
As with all sexual activities, it is crucial to prioritize consent, communication, and mutual respect. Safe practices, such as using barriers like dental dams or condoms, can help reduce the risk of STI transmission during face sitting. It's also important to have a non-verbal signal or safe word in place to communicate if either partner becomes uncomfortable and wants to stop the activity immediately.
