The new sex cushions

My partner hates when I get strange packages in the mail. He usually assumes (correctly) that it’s some wierd, new, sexual device that I’m going to chase him around the house to try out with me. I got a smaple of the new Liberator sex cushions that are like little wedges to ergonomically adjust your posture and make sex easier. Man, sex can look funny sometimes. I could describe the pictrue of me trying to adjust this under my hips (all in the name of science), but it loses something in the description.  Suffice it to say, that I have difficulties being acrobatic. No swinging from the chandelier for this pushing middle age sex therapist.  Imagine curvy, plus sized blonde upside down. Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it, if not for God’s sake cover it up….
So why would you want a sex cushion? Sex furniture is the rage. And it can help with anyone not perfectly bendy.
There are a few different kinds of furniture that will help you and your partner do those positions that appear int he Kama Sutra.
WEDGES – These triangle pieces of foam are meant to support your body if you have to maintain a position for an extended period of time. They can be used for non-sexual purposes as well. You’ll have to buy more than one (different sizes) if you want the most versatility – just keep in mind that they are sometimes pricey. Very beginner-friendly.
BEDS – It might sound like a no-brainer, but we’re not talking about the one in your bedroom. These are usually inflatable OR custom made to have the ability to attach restraints.
CHAIRS – This group has several subgroups

  • Queening Chairs – Low seats that allow for one person to sit while another lies on their back and performs oral sex. A smother-box is the same idea but with the ability to be locked or restrained inside. Some can look like simple stools while more elaborate ones can look like thrones.
  • Chaise lounges or sofa chairs – One step further than wedges. They support the entire body for various sexual positions. Some can include restraints.
  • Thrones – Can be included in bondage furniture or queening chairs if they are altered accordingly (as well as high-back chairs made to look royal or menacing and aid in role-play).
  • Balls – Much like the posture/exercise balls you see at offices, except these have a dildo attached to them. Yay!

If you are looking to try them and don’t want to make the big investment consider a weekend at a sex resort. My favourite is Secrets in Orlando. Secrets is one of the only lifestyle resorts in the US and is a very special place. A weekend to try the furniture can cost much less than the $850 starting price to buy some. Have a look at my favourite room at the resort.
