Erotic furniture
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Erotic furniture is furniture that can act as an aid to sexual intercourse. The most common form of furniture employed for sex is the bed, but couches and sofas come a close second. These are not strictly erotic furniture, as their primary use is not erotic.
Specifically designed furniture for erotic purposes can include:
- Devices for spanking and flagellation such as the Berkley Horse
- Swings
- Fisting slings
- Various types of angled foam wedges designed to support various sex positions
- Bondage equipment such as stocks and pillories
- Smotherboxes and other queening stools.
- Chinese raping chair, a chair that collapses into a bed while restraining the occupant's arms and legs.
