'My Neck, My Back': How Sex Furniture Can Help With All Of That

Sex isn’t always a pleasurable experience for everybody, especially if you are a person who suffers from chronic body aches and pains.

But according to the New York Post, there is sex furniture that can assist people who may deal with health issues that prevent them from having a good time in the bedroom. Sex educator Javay Frye-Nekrasova told the Post that designers created the furniture with durability in mind.

“Sex furniture is built to hold more weight since more than one person is usually on it. It also generally is sturdier in the sense that it won’t give out like a regular pillow would but will hold its shape,” Frye-Nekrasova said. “Sex furniture is typically made of material that is either removable and washable or resistant to fluids so that it can survive playtime without being stained or damaged.”

Board-certified clinical sexologist and relationship therapist Dr. Debra Laino explained to the Post how else the furniture is helpful to boost pleasure. “Sex furniture is thought to help with exploring different positions and reaching parts of the body that laying on a flat surface like a bed or couch wouldn’t do. They help with positioning, penetration and comfort,” Laino said.

The tantra chair or the arched couch featured in Beyoncé’s “Partition” music video helps relieve back and hip pain. Laino added, “It’s not just about comfort — this ergonomic approach also caters to different physical forms. “It can help with things like a disproportion in body sizes [or for] smaller penises to penetrate more deeply.”

Sex stools can help people who want to be on top by relieving pressure and pain from their knees. Sex swings are another option. They also offer support for those who struggle to lift themselves or hold another person for long periods of time.

Frye-Nekrasova also suggested using sex pillows and the liberator wedge. The pillows add comfort and relieve pain, while the wedge offers new ways to explore positions.

“There is this assumption that because folks are disabled, they aren’t sexual or having sex or wanting it, and that’s the furthest thing from the truth,” she said. “The only difference around sex between disabled folks and folks without disabilities is having to adapt and adjust.”

Experts recommend for customers to try inflatable furniture before committing to the expensive cost of permanent furniture. That way, they can test it out before fully committing to the purchase.

Dr. Heather Jeffcoat suggests that you get furniture that is easy to clean like leather; however, if the furniture is cloth material, make sure it is easily removable in order to wash it.
