Facesitting is a sexual practice in which a person sits or hovers over their partner's face. This is often done to facilitate oral sex or analingus. It can also be a form of D/s or humiliation play.
To perform facesitting, the bottom partner lies flat on their back. They might lie on the floor or a bed for comfort. Their partner straddles their face and lowers their body down into a sitting position. They may squat or kneel, but it’s a good idea for the top partner to support their own weight for safety. Top partners may face their partner’s face or feet, depending on their preference. They should position themselves so their genitals or anus are in line with the bottom partner’s mouth. In this position, the bottom partner can perform oral sex or analingus.
The top partner usually removes their underwear for facesitting. They may also wear crotchless underwear or get their submissive to pleasure them through their underwear. The bottom partner may be fully clothed, nude, or semi-nude.
Why are people into facesitting?
Top partners may enjoy facesitting as a way to enjoy oral sex or analingus that makes them feel totally in control. Bottom partners often take pleasure from knowing how much they’re turning their partners on. Many bottom partners also enjoy the sensations that they experience during facesitting. While they are not stimulated as the top partner is, many bottom partners love the feeling of the full or partial weight of their partner on their face, the moisture from their partner’s sweat and bodily fluids on their skin, and the darkness that helps them focus on these sensations.
Facesitting is also sometimes known as kinging or queening, depending on the gender of the person sitting on their partner’s face. That’s because the seated partner takes a dominant sitting position, as a royal does on their throne. Throning is a similar, yet gender-neutral, term for this act.
