In the field of human sexual behavior, facesitting, also known as kinging or queening, is a sex act in which a person sits on or over their sexual 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. It is also practiced by vanilla couples, who use this position for woman-superior 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 the submissive partner is deprived of air while being smothered, while facesitting does not necessarily involve oxygen deprivation. The full-weight body-pressure, moisture, femenine odors and darkness are powerful sexual attractions or compulsions for the sub male. The top female may relax in her feeling of superiority and being in full and complete control of her man.
The person sat upon may or may not be in bondage, sexually submissive and therefore compliant, or simply held down by the body-weight of the other person. Sometimes special furniture is used, such as a smotherbox or queening stool. They are, in any case, usually immobilised, leaving a good deal of body free for the dominant partner. Popular amongst Fat Admirers (F.A.'s) and heavyset people, this practice is reportedly satisfying for both partners. 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 |
