Entering our Queening Era: Why men and women love facesitting

Are you entering your Queening era? Also known as "facesitting,” it's risen in popularity amongst a new generation of women thanks to its prioritisation of female pleasure. In a world where male pleasure has often been placed at the forefront, women have spent too much time on their knees -  it’s time to help women feel empowered in the bedroom by putting them back in their rightful position.

Queening chairs are not a new phenomenon; while some would have you believe they’re rooted in the development of the BDSM community, history would suggest otherwise. 

Early renditions of Queening chairs were used in ancient civilisations such as Egypt and Rome as symbols of female status and authority. 

In more modern contexts, they’re depicted in the Kama Sutra and 19th-century French paintings with deliberate sexual connotations.

The rise in popularity of Queening is largely because it centres female pleasure by providing oral clitoral stimulation, often making it the easiest position to reach orgasm. 

Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a sex therapist who writes for Modern Intimacy, states that Queening allows for “the intertwining of power and pleasure” because women are placed as “object[s] of worship.” 

Although it’s not necessary to explicitly act out scenarios involving aristocracy and servitude, Queening opens the door to roleplay scenarios which can help women to explore their dominant side. 

Sexual acts that place women in positions of power are still considered taboo within certain cultures around the world, but it is absolutely possible to remain dominant while serving your partner through sensory control.

This position may feel uncomfortable for some women due to understandable safety concerns about suffocating their partners. 

If you relate to feeling uncomfortable about this, the key is mindful positioning above your partner - think hovering instead of actually sitting- but if this is not an easy position for you to sustain, a Queening chair absolutely comes in handy. 

Rather than supporting your own body weight, the chairs are designed with a cut-out for your partner to place themselves directly underneath you while you relax. However, if you don’t have access to a Queening chair, you can achieve this by holding onto the back of a chair or a headboard for support.

If you haven’t tried Queening yet, we strongly recommend you do. It’s time to get out of the Victorian sexual repression period and embrace what women actually love: a good old face fuck.
