The Reverse Chair Bondage position turns any sturdy chair into a piece of bondage furniture!
To get into this position, the partner who is to be bound should sit on a chair the wrong way, straddling the back of the chair. From there, they should scoot backwards slowly, keeping their balance and ensuring the chair doesn't tip as they scoot their butt to the front edge of the chair. Once their butt is in place, the penetrating partner can add bondage (as desired!) or simply kneel next to the chair for penetration.
Reverse Chair Bondage's counterpart, Chair Bondage, is a standard bondage sex position. However, this position gets its name because the seated person is sitting in the chair backwards, facing towards the back of the chair instead of away from it.
More About Reverse Chair Bondage Position
The Reverse Chair Bondage position pairs all of the fun of bondage with a low-mobility position that leaves the receiving partner feeling vulnerable and on display. With the receiver's face pressed forward and their butt hovering over the edge of the chair, you can both experiment with feelings of submission and vulnerability (if you so desire!).
Options and Variations on the Reverse Chair Bondage Position
Unlike other bondage positions that may require a high level of flexibility, the Reverse Chair Bondage position uses a chair to alleviate many of these requirements. While the position is shown in a forward bend, the receiving partner can adjust how far forward they bend to reduce the stretch in their body. While multiple types of restraints are shown in the illustration, partners easily swap up these bindings for options that reduce the need for flexibility and feel more comfortable. The chair underneath the receiver even gives them more support to reduce the strain of a sustained sex position.
Even so, the back stretch and balancing required by the receiving partner may not be comfortable for all people. Some people may also find that the leg spread needed for the Reverse Chair Bondage position allows for the chair to press uncomfortably into the inner thighs. If this position isn't working for you, that's OK! Remember: Sex is all about enjoying yourselves and connecting with one another. If you're finding that the Reverse Chair Sex Position doesn't work well for you, feel free to swap into any of the other hundreds of sex positions out there.
Note that this position may be completely inaccessible for people with chronic pain, mobility issues or full time wheelchair using lovers. We recommend having a conversation about sensory issues and disability or chronic pain and how this may play a role in the bondage part of this position.
While the illustration above shows restraints in specific areas, the magic of the Reverse Chair Bondage position is that it can be done in any way that makes you and your partner(s) happy. Bind your partner's limbs to the chair or keep them bound only to themselves. You could even bind them to a nearby wall or piece of furniture. It's up to how you want to do things!
Once you have your partner bound to the chair, here are some kink activities you could explore:
- Tying their ankles to the legs of the chair.
- Binding the bound partner's wrists in front of or behind their back.
- Clipping nipple clamps onto the bound partner's nipples to add extra pressure as they rub against the back of the chair.
- Restraining their thighs together with the bondage running underneath the seat of the chair to keep the receiver in place.
- Spanking (with a paddle or just the hand!) the butt that's now exposed and hanging off the edge of the chair.
- Leaving the hands unbound to allow the receiving partner to grip onto the back of the chair to brace themselves or to spread their bum cheeks further apart.
The way you bind your partner will vary depending on what you own and what chair you're using. Common bondage methods for this position include bondage tape, rope or plastic wrap. However, you can certainly use a spreader bar, cuffs or other bondage methods to make your fantasies come to life!
You both may also find that you benefit from using skin tape (like the Exposed Booty Tape) to spread the bound partner's cheeks - particularly if the receiver has a well-endowed backside. This can make it easier for the penetrating partner to achieve penetration, especially if your scene calls for regular removal and reinsertion during penetration.
What about using sex toys with this sex position?
The Reverse Chair Bondage position can also be a great fit for sit-on, hands-free sex toys. The receiver's forward-leaning position may make it hard for the penetrating partner to hold a sex toy between their legs, and the receiver may have their hands otherwise occupied. Options like the Orion VibePad 2, the Wild Flower Enby, the Hot Octopuss Jett, the Gender X Rocketeer or the Rocks-Off Ruby Glow can all be good fits here. If the receiving partner is wearing underwear with well-placed openings, panty vibrators - like the Companion, We-Vibe Moxie+, We-Vibe Bond, Lovense Lush 3 or Lovense Ferri could also be workable.
(If you own one, a Good Girl Chair can also be the location for the Reverse Chair Bondage position - it'll allow for easy vibrator placement!)
Anal toys can also be a good fit in this position, provided the penetrating partner isn't planning to penetrate that hole otherwise. However, some people may find the additional pressure on the pelvic floor due to the forward-leaning position can cause anal toys to slip out easier than expected. If choosing butt toys with the Reverse Chair Bondage position, ensure they're toys that usually stay in the body, like butt plugs - not the ones you know you need to fidget with.
Safety Issues
Before attempting the Reverse Chair Bondage position, we highly recommend some pre-scene experiments. Many chairs were not designed to be used backwards, and the last thing you want is for it to fall backwards or sideways while the bound partner has no way to catch themselves. A concussion (or worse!) could be possible.
To help alleviate those safety issues, we first recommend trying this position without bondage. Not only does this allow you to work out the angles necessary to make the Reverse Chair Bondage position work, but it also allows you to experiment with different chairs. Some chairs may be too tall, or too short, for the hips to align. Other chairs may not be sturdy enough to support the back-and-forth motion of sex while weighted in a way for which they weren't intended. When you're done, you'll know whether you have a chair that's both strong enough and at the right height to support this position.
Second, we recommend doing the Reverse Chair Bondage position with the chair's back up against a wall. This may mean the receiver's face gets pressed up against the wall. However, the wall will prevent the chair from accidentally tipping over if you find yourselves caught up in the eroticism of this position. This wall can also provide a sturdy resting place for the receiver's face and upper body to alleviate how much strain they need to place on their back.
Even with these two safety suggestions in mind, understand that the Reverse Chair Bondage sex position does carry some risks. A dining chair is generally not designed for a lot of back-and-forth movement or for sitting in this position. As the bound partner may be constrained with elaborate bondage, they may not be able to catch themselves if the chair breaks or falls. Selecting a safe place to do the position and ensuring the chair is equipped for a lot of movement - and a weight limit well over your partner's weight - can help reduce some of these risks, but it does not eliminate them.
Especially when you are new to the Reverse Chair Bondage position, you may consider leaving the receiver's hands unbound (so they may catch themselves if they tip over) or doing the position away from hard, sharp surfaces (like the dining table) that may be a head injury if someone were to tip over.
The Reverse Chair Bondage position can be a great fit for couples with a huge difference in weight or height. Since the chair takes almost all of the receiver's weight, neither partner needs to be able to hold up any additional weight in order to enjoy themselves. Height discrepancies can simply be solved by selecting a taller or shorter chair to align with the penetrating partner's hips.
Rimming can be a perfect foreplay partner before intercourse in the Reverse Chair Bondage position. The receiver's position places their butt on full display on an elevated surface, which can make it easier for the giving partner to access.
