The history of facing sitting (queening) chairs


Face sitting chairs, also known as queening chairs or smother boxes, have a long and fascinating history that dates back centuries. While the exact origins of these chairs are uncertain, they have been used in various cultures and contexts throughout history.

In ancient times, face sitting chairs were believed to have been used in certain societies as a symbol of power and dominance. In ancient Rome, for example, it is said that empresses and powerful women would use these chairs as a means of asserting their authority and control over others.

During the medieval period, face sitting chairs were associated with eroticism and sexual practices. They were often used in the context of BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, andochism mas) activities, particularly in Europe. These chairs provided a comfortable and convenient platform for individuals to engage in various forms of erotic domination and submission.

In more recent times, face sitting chairs have become popular in the fetish community, particularly in the BDSM subculture. They are often designed with specific features to enhance the experience, such as padded seats, adjustable positions, and restraints for added bondage play. These chairs are typically made from sturdy materials like wood or metal to ensure durability and stability.

It is worth noting that the use of face sitting chairs is consensual and falls within the realm of adult sexual exploration and fetishism. It is important to prioritize communication, consent, and safety when engaging in any form of sexual activity or experimentation.

While face sitting chairs have a controversial and niche reputation, they highlight the diverse range of human sexual preferences and desires throughout history. As with any sexual practice, it is crucial to approach it with respect, consent, and an understanding of personal boundaries.
