Most of the time, we only see intimacy happening in the bedroom,” Rose tells SELF. “Sometimes it’s better to have a dedicated space because that’s where you can act out your sexual fantasies and desires. And a space dedicated to that, I think, is a lot more arousing and erotic.” What should you look for when shopping for sex furniture? They are asymmetrical, and some of them have removable parts so that you can explore multiple positions. You can even come up with new positions the Kama Sutra knows nothing about.

Though the Bowstring may feel best on an armchair, it can just as easily work on a desk chair, a dining room chair, or even a couch. Start by sitting in the chair the way you normally would. Your knees should be bent, and your feet should be touching the floor. Once you’re there, invite your partner to kneel directly in front of the chair. They should be facing you, and their thighs should be grazing your shins. A sex pillow/wedge may not look like much, but use it while doing your go-to sex positions. And the different angles it provides will feel entirely different — more pleasurable and comfortable. A sex pillow is super easy to store and bring with you anywhere, and it’s so discreet that you can use it as a regular pillow if you’re not in the mood to get naughty.What’s nice? Though chair sex isn’t rare or exclusive, it still feels fun, and exciting, and special. It’s still a break from the norm. Chair sex is a good reminder that we don’t need to travel long distances or spend exorbitant amounts of cash to get a taste of adventure (though you can buy some cool looking furniture that is particularly sex friendly!). We can simply explore a space in our home in a brand new way. It may not be a full-on vacation, but it’s at least a little bit of an escape—and one that’s sure to be all kinds of fun. Armchair Lotus

It’s important to keep your sex furniture clean and dry between uses. But exactly how to manage that will depend on your table, what it’s made of, and what it requires.

Before getting to our recommendations, ask yourself a few things: How big do you want it to be (i.e. how much room do you have in your house for it)? Is it something you can break down and store? Does it need to be light, compact, or portable for travel? Use these questions to guide you when making a decision on purchasing the best sex furniture that's right for you. It depends on what you want out of your furniture. If you want something you can feature in your lounge, a chaise lounge or chair can blend in with your regular furniture –though it can also be hard to store discreetly. Chaise lounges offer the most comfort among all other sex furniture pieces on our list and out there.
