Gourt Home::Gourt :: Facesitting
Facesitting, also known as kinging or queening, is a sexual practice in which a sexual partner sits on or over the other partner's face, typically to allow oral-genital or oral-anal contact. It is common for this position to form part of BDSM, involving dominance and submission, though this need not be the case.
Facesitting is most common among dominant women and submissive men, and also vice-versa, as a form of demonstrating superiority as well as for sexual gratification. It is also practiced by vanilla couples, who use this position for woman on top cunnilingus (with the woman kneeling over the man, and sitting on his upper chest rather than face), or irrumatio and teabagging. The difference between facesitting and the similar practice of smothering is that in the latter, the partner being smothered is deprived of air, while facesitting does not necessarily involve oxygen deprivation. The full-weight body-pressure, moisture, feminine odors and darkness can be perceived as powerful sexual attractions or compulsions. The person sat upon may or may not be in bondage, sexually submissive, or simply held down by the body-weight of the other person. Sometimes special furniture is used, such as a smotherbox or queening stool.
Facesitting is a common theme in the works of Japanese fetish artist Namio Harukawa, and is also a common theme in erotic magazines and films.
In certain forms of erotic wrestling, facesitting is an often used method of bringing about a sexually humiliating finish to a match (either in same-sex or mixed matches), particularly when the victor has had their clothes removed (either by their opponent or doing so themselves). When the female is victorious the application of the genitals to her opponent's face, and particularly mouth, is the goal. In the case of a victorious male the aim is insertion of his penis into the opponent's mouth. In cases of pre-agreed rules or extreme domination or humiliation, the victor may maintain the facesit position until orgasm is achieved.
