My Playroom--The Sling

While I am traveling home this morning from the Piss Party in Chicago, I thought I might begin a series of pieces about my playroom.  In recent years, I have really grown to like the idea of having separate rooms for sex and for sleep.  The playroom's not fancy.  But it is a room devoted to promoting good sex.  I adapted an upstairs bedroom--for the house I rent has a basement that is impossible to use.  The sling dominates the room.  As it should.  I think there is absolutely nothing like the sheer pleasure of fucking in a sling.  Of course, you can have great sex on a bed.  And I do. There's a double bed in the room as well.  But  I like variety.  An awful lot of people are hesitant about the sling--before they try it.  I have never met a man who didn't like it once he was in it.  I think it is truly freeing for both the Top and the Bottom.

For the Bottom, you are supported all across your back, head and neck, your legs are up and comfortably out of the way in the stirrups.  You are floating.  There is no strain in maintaining your position.  For the Top you have an incredible range of motion.  And the Bottom's legs are not on your shoulders-- pushing you back and out of his ass. Since I rent, I chose to get a frame as opposed to hang the sling from the ceiling.  I'm very glad I did.  Not only is it easier to take down and put away if I need the room for other purposes,  but it can pack in no time to take with me to a hook up's home or motel.  I bought a tall frame.  I'm 6'3".  I have hit my head on standard 6' frames.  This one has an extra 6" inches.  If you look carefully in the picture to the left you'll see I bungeed a mirror to the top of the frame.  Bottoms love to see my cock going into them--and I love to watch their face as they watch it.  There is a tarp below the sling--so WS action can happen right there--none of those mood destroying runs to the bathroom tub.  I usually have a piece of  fabric on top of the tarp to prevent run off.

Sling are not cheap--but worth the expense.  It was the first piece in the playroom that changed my house (in an out of the way little town) into a "destination"--that added incentive for men to make the drive.

Many thanks to one on my favorite boys to allow his pic to be used in this post...

  1. One thing I really like about you, good sir, is your careful attention to maximizing the possibilities for pleasure. You are truly Hot Paladin, the Evangelist of Sex Furniture. And I thank you for it.

    For all I was a thorough slut in my youth, I never managed and/or allowed myself to play in a sling. I agree that sling play is irreplaceable, for top or bottom, and love being in either position. I too bought the same stand when I lost my house and moved into a tiny apartment. The quick & easy assembly/disassembly and remarkably compact storage are ideal in my circumstances, and allows traveling equipped. I likewise have a polyethylene sheet - big enough for my king bed, or can be folded to dimensions suitable to the location. Ah, the money I have transferred to Ft Trough! Love those guys ;-)

    I'll have to get risers of some sort to accommodate your height. Being a short guy I didn't spring for the more generous and expensive Big&Tall version. ;-P

    I like the mirror strategy. Was wondering how to do something like that myself.

  2. I love you describing your out of the way house as a destination. I can tell you with certainty that if I had known you in my slutty bottom days, I would have made the drive from Ohio for sure. Of course, I made the long drive to see Rob, so it isn't a promise so much as truth in advertising. Some day, after borrowing/using another man's sling, I'm sure I will drop the money on my own. I love the idea of them and I'm sure I'll love the application.

  3. RP--no need for the extensions--I'll just be careful. You know I'd fuck so hard that the stand would slide off whatever it got propped up with...

    I think I'll be doing occasional posts on all sorts of things in my playroom...

  4. Ace---Yes, you have some time and some saving to do, but I bet you'll find some guys in your area who will have one...

    I really like the new new Fort Troff model that got mentioned in the Meet the BF post. It was a canvas sling--which is a huge cost saver. Good construction on the stand and the built in mirror is great. And a couple hundred less than what I paid.

  5. I would have a canvas sling had I not lucked out buying a leather one from a friend who made a bunch of simple saddle leather ones. May still get a canvas one for the sake of being able to throw it in the wash. I'd have done the new FT Trough kit but it wasn't available when I needed the stand. Timing!

  6. RP--Me too, on the timing issues--I bought the taller stand the moment it was available--they didn't even have a bag big enough for the uprights yet. So costs have gone down and they've refined...But I really have no regrets..And that bag is plenty heavy enough WITHOUT the uprights in it. I just wrap those in the tarp...

  7. That item would even be a lovely choice for women. Great play room!

  8. Countess---Absolutely! It's all about comfort. And, frankly--going deeper.

  9. My first couple of experiences of trying a sling was at a bath house and didn't do anything for me and the one time I was in a sling at a orgy...there was not much action in the room for me to get a good trial run on it.

    Thankfully my ex had a sling and I loved being in the sling and having him rim and eat my ass and then fucking it and breeding it. He even pissed in my ass and had another guy fuck it out of me. He keeps his set up out on the enclosed screen porch which also has a pool and hot tub.

    I will eventually purchase a sling.

    I look forward to being in your sling FelchingPisser

  10. VRPBottom--As much as I love slings, they are not always the best choice for an orgy. They can limit access to you. That crane around of your head to get a cock in your mouth as well as in your ass--kind of defeats their purpose for me. For a gangbang, that's another story. But they seem to be best in situations with more limited numbers. Your ex's set up sounds ideal.

  11. I've never been fucked in a sling, but have always wanted to. I would LOVE to be in a sling with several HUNG men taking turns fucking and breeding me, till I have every drop they have to give.

  12. Craig---I'm glad you found me here. I, too, love that scene. As a matter of fact, I'm hosting a gangbang like that on Monday for one of my long term play partners. I hope you have a top who who knows you, who knows your skills and could help you fulfill that fantasy. If not, many bathhouses have slings (both public and private) that might work for you.

  13. @countesszero: Sex swings seem to be popular sex equipment among m/f adventurers, and slings do show up. Can't speak to the interest that f/f partners might have.

    @Craig: In my part of the country, at least, I think a huge majority of guys would say that being in a sling gangbanged by a group of hot men is their A#1 fantasy. Gangbang porn, as opposed to orgy, seems hugely popular, driven in part by the commonality of the fantasy.

    FP's fortunate to have built up a group of tops to give this special gift to his buddy. I could fill my sling 24/7 with guys who want to be gang fucked, but I'd be hard pressed to get a handful of guys to do the fucking. I do live in a fairly remote, relatively underpopulated area, and that's a big factor. But I suspect that the balance between tops and bottoms will be similar in all but the largest cities.

  14. RP/Craig--I also have to go into a major city to do that kind of fantasy fulfillment. There are two tops in the little town I live in besides me--and one moved!

    RP/Countess--the Pleasure Swing (is that right?) was certainly sling like. I don't know if they are still around. Any leather/fetish store should have good slings or good alternatives....
