Over-the-Chair Bondage Position

The Over-the-Chair position uses a piece of furniture every home has, a chair, to create an impromptu bondage scenario that's as hot as it is functional.

To get into this sex position, the to-be-bound person should bend over a sturdy chair. Once there, your bondage method of choice (as illustrated, bondage tape) can be used to secure the person's limbs to any distinguishing features of the chair. This may be a slotted back, the legs of the chair, or the foot rests. Ensure the bound partner feels balanced and comfortable throughout the process, forgoing any restraint that may cause too much discomfort or compromise their stability.

While this sex position illustration is shown with a gag, we do not recommend playing with a gag if the Over-the-Chair position is still new to you. Communication will be vital for keeping the bound person safe and pleasured.

More about the Over-the-Chair Bondage Position

The chair you choose is the most important part of the Over-the-Chair Position. We cannot overstate this enough. The chair you choose needs to be a stable, sturdy chair that is unlikely to tip over and able to support an entire person's weight. A chair with wheels or a narrow frame is likely to move or tip over, and your bound partner will have no way to catch themselves. This can lead to injury or potentially, even death.

Ensure that the chair you choose is sturdy and unlikely to move.

If that's still sounds too risky for you, that's fine! You can also modify where you do this position. Doing the Over-the-Chair position with one of the bound person's sides pressing up against the wall will provide an additional stability point. This can make them less likely to tip forwards and less likely to tip over the chair.

The Over-the-Chair position could also be achieved with a large, sturdy, lounging armchair, but you'll lose multiple bondage points doing it this way. That being said, safety is more important, so choose any chair that feels safest to you.

Try...

Once you have your partner safely into the Over-the-Chair position, you have a lot of options. The bent-over position of this bondage position means that multiple erogenous zones are available for play. As long as your partner is bound to a sturdy, safe chair, this can mean that intercourse is on the table - especially if your heights match up while they're in this position. If not, don't worry. You can easily add a stool behind the bound person's feet to add the needed height to align your hips.

While the Over-the-Chair position is shown with bondage tape, it isn't just a position for tape! All bondage methods can used with the Over-the-Chair position.

  • Wrist and ankle cuffs can be used with clips to attach to a chair or use tethers to wrap them onto chair limbs.
  • Rope bondage and double-column ties can be used.
  • You could even get creative and start to use thigh cuffs or other unique bondage options.

The only goal here is to bend someone over a chair and use your preferred bondage method to secure them to that chair.

Modifying the Over-the-Chair Bondage Position

One of the best things about the Over-the-Chair bondage position is that it can be modified as much as you'd like by just changing the chair and or the bondage method.

  • If someone has lower back pain from supporting themselves bent over, use a taller chair that allows them to rest their entire upper body weight on it. You could also use a table!
  • If someone feels less stable with their thighs tied to the chair, simply don't tie up their thighs.
  • If this level of bondage feels too extreme, start with a single tie instead of using bondage tape all over the body.

The basic premise of this sex position doesn't have any specific ties or requirements; we're just all here to have a good time.

Even with modifications, some people may not be able to do the Over-the-Chair position, and that's okay! The goal of sex and kinky play is to have a great time, connect with your partner, and enjoy yourselves, and that can be hard to do if someone is in pain.

Instead, choose one of the other bondage positions that can better honor the bodies you're in today to ensure you both can focus on the fun instead of the discomfort of the position.

The Over-the-Chair bondage position carries a lot of risk factors that make it a poor choice for any solo bondage play. So please, only try this position with a trusted partner.
