You can get flexible with the furniture you use for the Checking Under the Hood sex position. While a bed is standard, any long, flat surface can work fantastically for the Checking Under the Hood sex position. This includes beds, sturdy tables, massage tables, desks, ottomans, couches or sex furniture, like the Liberator Equus Wave or Bondi.
We recommend selecting your furniture based on the height of the receiver. You want to choose a surface that is going to place the giving partner at the necessary height to give oral sex while still leaving the neck in a relatively relaxed position. This may involve the semi-hilarious activity of trying various surfaces in your home to see which ones can support weight, offer the correct height for fun and provide relative comfort for both partners.
While no power imbalance needs to be explored with the Checking Under the Hood position, this position lends itself well to domination and submission roleplay. As the giving partner is essentially stationary, and the receiving partner is "riding" their face, a lot of the control is in the receiving partner's hands (well, technically their hips). This can lead to a vulnerable, submissive feeling for the giving partner, especially if the receiving partner adds dirty talk, impact toys or takes control of the pace using their own hips.
The Checking Under the Hood position is also great for additional sex toys since both partners can operate hands-free. With the wide space available between the two bodies, large toys, like
wand massagers or the
Arcwave Ion, can be used to pleasure the giving partner. If you both would rather focus on the pleasure at hand, you may also consider hands-free sex toy options to add a bit of sensation. Try the
electrosex toys,
butt plugs,
prostate massagers or
wearable vibrators with this position.
