While beds are still the undisputed champion of best furniture to have sex on, itâs worth discovering what a willing chair and some fresh chair sex positions can add to your sex life. (Spoiler: A lot.)
Chairs offer all kinds of opportunities for new adventures. âTheyâre great for the âmechanicsâ of sex,â says sex coach Mariah Freya, CEO of Beducated, a digital, pleasure-based sex education platform. âChairs have smooth and sturdy surfaces, so you can achieve different angles and positions on them. A new angle can stimulate pleasure zones more effectively, which can increase the chances of orgasm
during penetrative sex.â
Just the mere act of moving the festivities outside of your usual comfort zone can help spice things up by jumpstarting your brain and creativity, says Freya, making both partners curious to explore the new possibilities. Plus it can help stimulate fantasiesâa core ingredient for orgasmic moments, she says.
Assess what you want (a sexy snuggle? easy access oral? a take-me-now situation?) and match that with whatever chairs are at your disposal. âA regular dining chair can be great for riding and straddling a partner. A high-top stool or chair may be perfect for standing oral with the receiving partner seated,â says Jess OâReilly, PhD, resident sexologist at Astroglide.
Before you hop aboard, make sure your chosen chair is sturdy and can hold up under what you plan on putting it through. If itâs upholstered, throw a few towels or blankets down beforehand. âUpholstery is not sexy to clean, and you probably don't want suspicious stains hanging around in your living room,â says Tara Struyk, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Kinkly.
When youâre ready, slide into a consenting chair and try one (or all?!) of these hot chair sex positions.
Chair Boss
How to Do It: Play with power dynamics by having one person sit back in a chair. They give their partner directions on exactly how to touch themâwhere, how hard/fast, what body part or toy and how long. The giver obeys.
Pros: The person in the charge gets exactly what they want, as they want it. And for the giver, itâs a crash course in what their partner likes.
Cons: If the chair boss isnât used to being so bossy, it can feel awkward at first. They can try using gestures or guiding their partnerâs hand if they feel too weird giving verbal instructions.
Switch It Up: Having the chair boss wear a blindfold makes this feel completely different.
Make It Hotter: If you have a shower seat and a detachable shower head, try a steamy bathroom version. (No detachable shower head? Get yourselves a waterproof toy.)

Easy Oral
How to Do It: Find a sturdy chair and have the receiver plant their feet firmly on the seat with their knees open. The giver kneels on the floor to give oral sex.
Pros: âThis method is easier and more comfortable than oral sex in bed,â says Freya.
Cons: Kneeling can be uncomfortable for the giver. Freya suggests putting a pillow or folded blanket under the giver's knees for extra comfort.
Switch It Up: The receiver can press their mouth against their partnerâs face for more intense stimulation.
Make It Hotter: "If the receiver wants extra stimulation, they can use a suction-cup dildo or another hands-free sex toy," says Freya.

Chair 69
How to Do It: To give 69 a more acrobatic edge, try it in a chair. One of you sits in a chair (try to be this person). The other person gets on top of the other, turning upside down so that your crotches are in each otherâs faces.
Pros: Mutual oral for people who like to spice it up with challenging athletic positions.
Cons: This more about the novelty than being able to relax into pleasure. If you are determined to make it work, a sturdy chair with wide arm rests will make it easier. (Remember: Sometimes it's about the experience of trying something new together than actually cuming from the position.)
Switch It Up: The seated person can use a vibrator or other toy instead of their mouth.
Make It Hotter: Lean into the novelty with a fun flavored lube.

Menage a Chair
How to Do It: Take your sex airborne with the apex. Have the receiver stand facing a sturdy chair, and bending over so that their palms are firmly planted in the seat. The giver stands behind them, holds on their hips and lifts them up to enter. The receiver wraps their legs back behind their partnerâs waist.
Pros: Works anally or vaginally for a new angle on deep penetration, plus a bonding adventure.
Cons: Requires a lot of strength and general bravery. If you start and itâs not working out, go ahead and switch to something else with less hoisting.
Switch It Up: For an easier version (for the receiver at least), the receiver can lower themselves onto their elbows.
Make It Hotter: You wonât be able to see each otherâs faces so use moans, commands, and raspy pleas to let each other know exactly what you need.

Dinner Is Served
How to Do It: Have the giving partner sit on a chair at the dining table, and the receiver lie in front of them with their legs over their partnerâs shoulders to raise their pelvis a bit.
Pros: This position is *especially* great for vulva-owners, as it creates an angle that makes it easier to reach the inner hot spots and cervix, says Freya.
Cons: Tables arenât super comfortable. Put down a cushy (and washable) blanket for comfier experience.
Switch It Up: Literally switch it up by trading places.
Make It Hotter: The giving partner can use an oral sex toy on their partner while sliding a lubed finger into their partnerâs butt or vagina.

Closer to Mine
How to Do It: To go ~really~ deep with your partner, share a chair. The giver sits facing the rear of the chair, while the receiver sits on their partnerâs lap facing the other way, says Freya.
Pros: âThis intimate position encourages kissing, eye contact, and emotional connection alongside physical intimacy during penetrative sex,â says Freya.
Cons: The up-close eye contact might be too intense for some. If so, just bring it into a hug to keep the intimacy without the eye contact.
Switch It Up: For a non-penetrative option, lube up your hands and stroke each other as you rock and grind.
Make It Hotter: If you want deeper orgasms with all that intimacy, feel free to add a vibrating penis ring.

The Easy Chair
How to Do It: For a basic starter chair sex position, one person sits on a chair, the other faces them and straddles their lap. If youâre going for penetration, the receiver lowers themselves onto the penetrating partnerâs penis or dildo and moves as they please, a la cowgirl position.
Pros: The person on top can control how slow or fast they want to go. Itâs also perfect for couples who like kissing, cuddling, and some butt and breast play
Cons: This, like all chair sex positions, can be messy. Throw down some washable towels or blankets to protect your furniture.
Switch It Up: The person on the bottom holds onto the receiver and thrusts up.
Make It Hotter: If the receiver has a vulva, the giver can use their fingers to rub the partnerâs clit as they ride.

The Sit Your Ass Down
How to Do It: Add some drama with light bondage play. âA chair with arms is perfectly designed for tying down your wrists,â says OâReilly. One person sits obediently down, the other binds their wrists to the chairâs arms. âUse silk scarves, neckties or a bondage kit.â The giver teases the receiver with their hands and mouth and/or a toy.
Pros: Bondage helps you both focus on the moment and play with dominance and submission.
Cons: Being completely restrained can be upsetting or uncomfortable for some people. For a less hardcore version, the giver can just hold down the receiverâs wrists with their hands, ready to let go immediately if the receiver doesnât like it.
Switch It Up: If one of you is usually more submissive, switch roles and see what happens.
Make It Hotter: You can also tie the receiver down at their ankles or use a blindfold to tease and build anticipation, says OâReilly.

The Champagne Room
How to Do It: One person sits on a sturdy chair. The other person sits on their partnerâs lap, sliding onto their penis/strap-on. Use your feet and the chair arms for leverage.
Pros: It works for anal or vaginal sex and both partnersâ hands are free for rubbing, touching, and holding toys.
Cons: Not a ton of inherent clit stim. But, fixable! âVibrator highly recommended!â says Struyk.
Switch It Up: Mix thrusting with some lap dance grinding.
Make It Hotter: Try a vibrating cock ring thatâs both penis and clit pleasinâ.

The Dog Chair
How to Do It: A chair gives you a soft perching spot for a modified version of doggy. âIf the chair has a large enough seat bed, the receiver can kneel on the chair while the giver penetrates from behind,â says Nicole Moore, a love and relationships coach.
Pros: The deep penetration of doggy, plus a soft surface for the receiver to rest their arms and head on.
Cons: Doggy is not great for clit stim. To add some, the receiver can slide a hand or toy between their legs.
Switch It Up: It also works for pegging or any other anal situation.
Make It Hotter: If you want to amp up the stimulation, straddle the arm (sturdy, upholstered chair only) with a vibe propped between you and the arm. The giver can kneel, crouch or stand with their hands on the chair for leverage.

The All Hail the Queen
How to Do It: Chairs are also great for oral sex, aka face-sitting, aka queening. The receiver sits down with their legs spread a little. The giver kneels before the receiver with their mouth between the receiverâs legs. The receiver scootches to the edge of the chair and leans forward onto their partnerâs mouth to ride their face.
Pros: The receiver can completely focus on their own pleasure.
Cons: There can be no queen without subjects. If youâre going solo, go with toy that mimics oral.
Switch It Up: The giving partner can enhance their worship with their hands and/or a vibrator or dildo.
Make It Hotter: Try it on a sex position enhancer chair, aka the throne, with a hole in the seat for easy access.

The Couch and Grind
How to Do It: For a solo version, put a waterproof throw blanket or sheet on the arm of your choice of couch or chair. (Works best on a soft upholstered chair.) Straddle the arm. Begin with gentle and small movements so you can stimulate your clitwith consistent pressure. Then, as the intensity builds up, add more movements and put more pressure on your clit.
Pros: You are in complete control.
Cons: If your chairs are armless or otherwise un-fuckable, you can also try it on a humpable sex wedge!
Switch It Up: If steady pressure and movements arenât quite doing it for you, try adding your fave bullet vibe.
Make It Hotter: If youâre into penetration, prop a sex pillow that holds a sex toy or dildo onto the arm.
