The Best Sex Furniture to Kit Out Your Dungeon
Let's take it up a knot
Is it just us, or does it feel like kink is having a moment? Everywhere we look we spot a different celebrity (hello Lourdes, Kanye and even Miley) wearing bondage attire.
Maybe it's the millennial-inspired loosening of gender norms and sexual boundaries, or perhaps there's something in the water. Whatever the cause, it feels like we're in the midst of a global shift in attitudes towards kinky sex – and BDSM has hit the mainstream.
But if the idea of visiting a sex club gives you the willies and you're not quite ready to download Feeld (the alternative kinkster dating app) what's the solution? In a post-pandemic world that's teetering on the edge of climactic collapse and stretched by political, social and artistic extremes, there's only one thing for it: it's time to start doomsday prepping and build a sex dungeon.
Lucky for you, we've scoured the world wide web and put subjected ourselves to rigorous testing (it's a hard job, but someone's got to do it), to share the very best bits on offer.

What is sex furniture?
As the name suggests, sex furniture is basically soft furnishings (that are sometimes hard!) designed to facilitate sexual encounters. This typically includes cushions, cages, bondage chairs and at the more extreme end of the spectrum, BDSM frames. Think of it as sexual position enhancements, that can help you to achieve otherwise fairly challenging sexual antics with greater ease. Plus, a bit of spanking, just for fun.
'Sex furniture is a broad category of products that help people maintain positions for sexual activities and help aid support for people that may need extra help,' says Simon Iredale from Bang On It, UK-based creators of sex positioning furniture.
What are the benefits of sex furniture?
Sex furniture can be a playful addition to partnered sex, as it offers up new positions and sensations to explore with your other half. But the benefits extend beyond kinky bedroom acrobatics, as the right fittings can also enable people with mobility issues to experiment too.
This means you can't use leg-day as an excuse to duck out of sexy time with your missus anymore. But nooky is arguably one of the best forms of exercise anyway, so think of sex furniture as home gym equipment for your love life, and get ready to hit the rack.
'The feedback we get is around being able to maintain a position for longer, having a comfortable experience when in positions not necessarily "natural",' explains Simon. 'The benefits are increased for people of limited mobility or those who are lacking energy due to medical treatments or conditions,' he adds.
