Face-sitting: all you need to know about this sexual practice
Facesitting is most often pathological sexual behavior that is related to sadomasochism or more broadly to BDSM practices. It can be dangerous. Facesitting (eng. facesitting, often transliterated into facesitting ) is a sexual practice in which the top partner sits on the face of the bottom, usually initiating oral-genital or oral-anal contact. It is widespread in the context of BDSM (in this case, B / D and D / S practices), but is also used outside this subculture. Facesitting is used, as a rule, in a femdom (relationships where a woman dominates a man). Face sitting is often used for playful humiliation and for sexual gratification. It is also used in couples for cunnilingus, where the woman bends her knees and sits on the man, but is located on the upper chest rather than the face. Facesitting is practiced mainly in three types – “face to face”, “face to feet” and “sideways”. The first option is most suitable for oral sex and achieving the effect of moral humiliation, as it allows the top to easily look into the eyes of the bottom, to observe all his actions. The second option is very convenient for anilingus (oral stimulation of the partner’s anus), and also allows you to sit on the bottom’s face with full weight, which increases the effect. For facesitting, the complete exposure of the Upper is not necessary. He can sit in clothes. This phenomenon can also be explained by fetishism. In addition, in a femdom, dominatrixes often exclude sexual contacts with the lower ones for themselves, using them exclusively as living furniture. This model of behavior undoubtedly bears a connotation of moral humiliation. Practicing facesitting in clothes During classic facesitting, the lack of oxygen in the lower partner is not expected. However, in BDSM, breath control techniques are sometimes used. It is worth noting that games with breath control during facesitting can be extremely dangerous for the health of the bottom, so this option must be used with caution. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rq0F1y0wvhw

Facesetting – How’s it going ?

Facesitting comes from english do what= face and to sit= to sit down. It is a paraphilia, that is to say of a pathological sexual behavior. It is about sitting on the face of his or her partner to seek an oral-genital contact (mouth and sex) or oro-anal (mouth and anus).

This practice can be considered a form of sexual fetishism. It comes within the framework of the relations between dominants and dominated and more broadly in the sexual practices BDSM (overlapping acronym for: bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadism, masochism).

Where does the sexual arousal come from in facesitting?

The dominant, sitting on the face of the dominated, feels an additional sexual arousal in the control of the respiratory movements of his / her partner. The first risk of such a maneuver is asphyxiation. It is often a form of erotic humiliation, although this notion does not meet with unanimity on the question.

It is the humidity of the perineum (the inside of the gluteal fold, between the penis and the anus), the smell of the anus, the pressure exerted on the face and the darkness that would stimulate sexual pleasure. In the dominant / dominated, the facesitting demonstrates the superiority or the sexual gratification of the partners.

The “plus” or “must” of facesitting

Le face-sitting can be used to marry other complementary practices, such as cunnilingus (arousal of the sex of the woman with the tongue) if it is the woman who sits astride the face of the man.

The urolagnia (or urophilia, ondinism) or the scatophile which respectively correspond to the sexual excitement by the urine or the excrements are obviously at hand, so to speak, in all the situations. Still, it is impossible not to come to BDSM because the face-sitting invites it. During bondage, the submissive partner can be physically or mentally tortured by facesitting.

Bondage: a word that is not in the French dictionary

This term is not easy to understand, but it cannot be avoided. It comes from the English bondage which means “slave” or “serf”.

The ” bondage Is a sadomasochistic human sexual behavior that involves tying up one’s partner in a dominant / dominated relationship. The origin is the bondage imagined by the Japanese. All shackles are authorized: ropes, bags, corsets… It is the B for BDSM. It remains to decline the other letters.

BDSM, an acronym for a great journey

Sadomasochistic practice is well known. The German-speaking psychiatrist von Krafft-Ebing created the word “masochism” from the erotic novel “La Venus à la fur” (1870) by the famous Baron de Sacher-Masoch, who described his dreams described as “masochistic”. This novel has inspired many filmmakers including Roman Polanski (“La Venus à la ferme, 2013). But sadomasochism has grown to become the abovementioned acronym.

  • B: as bondage (see above);
  • D: as discipline and domination;
  • S: like submission and sadism;
  • M: like masochism.

Facesitting corresponds well to all of these states. However, the distribution of roles is not so easy to understand and the idea, long accepted, that sadism is opposed to masochism is no longer valid.

Not to be confused with the DSM-V (five)

Except for a letter, we could be wrong. DSM-5 is the fifth and latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. It was published in February 2015 in the United States and in June 2015 in France. (Diagnostic and Statistical of Mental Disorders). This work is published by the American Association of Psychiatrists (American Psychiatric Association). Note that the word “diseases” is avoided, replaced by “troubles” in French and “disorders” in American.

What does he say about this DSM-V?

“The sexual masochist experiences sexual arousal from being humiliated, hit, tied, assaulted in any other way … This disorder causes significant suffering or considerably disrupts the functioning of daily life”.

 He specifies, however, that on the Richter scale of masochism, certain “light” behaviors are not pathological. At the top of the scale, when the behavior is pathological, the treatments are ineffective.

A dangerous practice

We saw above that the respiratory movements could be more or less hindered and that the risk of asphyxiation was real. Autoerotic asphyxia or asphyxiophilia consists of choking or partially strangling, by passing a knot around the neck (scarf, underwear, etc.) or by asking the partner to do so.

The temporary decrease in oxygen in the brain at the time of orgasm is a source of potentiation of sexual pleasure. This practice can accidentally lead to irreversible brain damage or death. The underlined words which might be intended to mitigate the notion of risk do not really succeed in making the face-sitting reassuring.
