What Is Facesitting? How Do You Properly Facesit?

• 

Facesitting is a new term for a well known position. Much like it sounds, it is the art of sitting on your sexual partner’s face, for the purpose of receiving oral stimulation in the form of cunningulus or rimming. Contrary to popular belief, it is for both sexes, in terms of both giving and receiving.

What Is It?

For the purposes of cunningulus, a woman straddles the face of her partner, usually by balancing herself on her knees and positioning her vagina over the partner’s mouth. She can either “hover” by not placing the full weight of her body on her partner’s mouth, instead continuing to balance her body weight on her knees.

She can also fully facesit, which is accomplished by placing the full weight of her body on her partner’s face. The partner proceeds to deliver cunningulus, typically until orgasm is reached. This has become a popular position in porn for the purposes of showcasing female squirting.

For the purposes of rimming, a person of either sex will straddle the face of their partner. After balancing the weight of their body on their knees, they move themselves into a position where their anus is directly over the mouth of their partner. They can either remain in the hover position if they so desire, or they can facesit by placing the weight of their body on their partner’s mouth. The partner will then proceed to “rim” the anus, which involves using the tongue to pleasure the anus, and the sensitive areas directly around the anus, or “rim”.

Is It Safe?

For all intents and purposes, yes, facesitting is a safe practice for those that choose to partake in it. The most important detail that should be addressed is the cleanliness of both partners. Although it is not necessary to have an enema prior, thorough washing of the anus and genitalia is necessary for the safety of both partners. If both of the individuals involved have good hygiene, the practice is perfectly safe to engage in.

Another matter of concern is the ability to breathe while engaging in facesitting. However, this truly isn’t a concern as long as your partner is attentive to your reaction to their body weight being placed on you. Most people that engage in facesitting do so without any level of discomfort, and happen to find the practice quite enjoyable.

What Is The Purpose Of Facesitting?

There are several different reasons that people engage in facesitting. They are often featured in pornography, including fetish porn such as femdom and humiliation porn. The premise behind this fetish porn is that, by sitting her vagina or anus on the face of the partner, that the woman doing so is subjecting the person to humiliation by forcing them to perform cunningulus or anal rimming on her.

That is the reason that some people believe that it won’t allow the person to disengage until the receiving party chooses to remove the weight of their body from their face. Usually, though, that isn’t the case at all.

It is often showcased in lesbian porn, and has taken the place of the once very popular 69 position that was often featured. This has a lot to do with the popularity of female squirt porn, because when facesitting, the female squirter is able to squirt into the face and mouth of her partner, and it can be observed by the partner as the squirting is taking place.

In the case of rimming, the method is much the same. The variations are simply the body placement of the partner, and the typical reaction that is being sought. Although a great deal of women are able to squirt when their partner is performing cunningulus as they are facesitting, it doesn’t happen as often when they are being rimmed by their partner. However, some women are able to and often do squirt when they are being rimmed.

For the male recipient of rimming, it is often used as an instrument in foreplay. However, there are men that are able to reach orgasm while they are being rimmed, and in the facesitting position. It is also often seen in porn when a man is being rimmed, and another individual is giving him a blowjob simultaneously, allowing him to reach orgasm from the dual stimulation that is being provided.

In either case, it is to engage in foreplay prior to sexual activity between partners. Some women report that both cunningulus and rimming have the ability to get them in the mood, and that they don’t prefer one over the other. In the end, it is simply a matter of personal preference as to which serves as foreplay for the person receiving the oral stimulation.

How To Properly Facesit

There are several different techniques that can be used while facesitting. The two most popular seem to be the hover method that we discussed earlier, where the weight of the person sitting on the face is mostly balanced on their knees, allowing them to “hover” over the partners face instead of placing all of their body weight on the partners face.

The hover method is popular for men to use when they are sitting on a woman’s face for rimming, because of the difference in weight between them. Some men are concerned that their body weight may be a little bit much for the woman underneath them, so they instead practice the hover method in facesitting.

It is also better to remember to kneel versus squatting. When you are kneeling over your partner, you’re in a much more relaxed position than when you are squatting. The fact is, the more relaxed your position is, the more enjoyable the experience will end up being for both of you. There are actually devices on the market now to assist in comfort when facesitting.

One such device is called a queening chair. It is a foldable chair that has an adjustable height. It has arm rests to help you keep your balance during the act of facesitting, and it also has cushioning for knee placement to help you remember to kneel instead of squat. It also holds up to 300 pounds, so it can help plus sized partners feel more comfortable with the act of facesitting, as they are often concerned about the comfort level of their weight being placed on their partner.

The basic mechanics of facesitting are quite simple. It boils down to your comfort level with your body, and knowing that your partner is enjoying it just as much as you are. It helps to just relax and be in the moment, instead of worrying about schematics and weight, and other non-sexual aspects of the act. Just relax and enjoy the activity, and advise your partner to tap on your thigh if there is any level of discomfort so that you can readjust to alleviate any discomfort.

Facesitting is one of the activities that is best showcased in porn. If you are feeling nervous about engaging you could always check out some facesitting porn. It is often showcased in lesbian porn, and has taken the place of the once very popular 69 position that was often featured. This has a lot to do with the popularity of female squirt porn, because when facesitting, the female squirter is able to squirt into the face and mouth of her partner, and it can be observed by the partner as the squirting is taking place.

In the case of rimming, the method is much the same. The variations are simply the body placement of the partner, and the typical reaction that is being sought.

The Final Thought

Facesitting can be a pleasant experience for everyone involved, as long as there is a relaxed vibe and a desire to please one another. If you cannot feel relaxed with your partner, or feel exposed in this position, it isn’t the position for you. However, if you feel comfortable with your partner being able to see, touch, taste, and feel you simultaneously, this will more than likely be a great experience for both of you.

If you need to take advantage of queening chairs or other balance aids, they are made specifically for this activity, so there is no need to feel any shame in buying one. Lastly, have fun!
