The Queen's Chair: oral sex with control in your hands
The Queen's Chair is a face-sitting position for oral sex on the vulva, set up at the edge of the bed. He lies on his back with his head right at the edge of the mattress, and she sits on his face facing away from his body, with both feet flat on the floor. Because her feet take most of her weight, she can control the pressure and the movement without pressing down on him.

Anatomy and biomechanics
He lies on his back along the bed, legs straight, with his head at the very edge of the mattress. She sits on his face at the edge of the bed, facing away from his body toward the room, torso upright, knees bent and slightly apart, and both feet flat on the floor. Her feet carry most of her weight, and she rests her hands on her own thighs. He reaches her vulva and clitoris with his mouth and can rest one hand on her thigh. She controls the rhythm by rocking her pelvis and by shifting weight between her feet and his face. There is no eye contact and little body contact. The load to watch is the part of her weight that rests on his face.
Why this position works
Some couples enjoy it because she can guide the stimulation with small movements of her pelvis, choosing the pressure and the angle. With her feet on the floor, she feels stable and can lighten or deepen the contact at any moment. Many couples also enjoy the playful sense of power. Sensations vary from person to person.
Variations of this position
Variation 1: facing his body
She turns around and sits on his face facing along the bed toward his body, with her feet still on the floor.
Turned toward the bed, she leans slightly forward and can rest her hands on the mattress or on his chest, which gives extra support. The angle of his mouth on the vulva changes, and she can see and caress his body.
- He lies on his back with his head at the edge of the bed.
- She stands over his head facing the bed, one foot on each side.
- She lowers herself onto his face, keeping her feet on the floor.
- She rests her hands on the mattress or on his chest to control her weight.
Variation 2: shifting toward the perineum and anus
She slides her pelvis slightly so his mouth reaches the perineum and, if you both want it, the anus.
A small shift of her hips moves the contact back from the clitoris to the perineum and the anus. The setup does not change; only the area stimulated does. Oral-anal contact needs extra hygiene.
- Start from the basic position.
- She slides her pelvis a few centimetres so his mouth reaches the perineum.
- If you both want oral-anal contact, use a dental dam.
- Do not go back from the anus to the vulva without washing or changing the barrier.
Variation 3: leaning forward with hands on her knees
She leans her torso forward and rests her hands on her knees.
Leaning forward tilts her pelvis and moves the contact toward the front of the vulva and the clitoris. Her hands on her knees transfer more weight to her legs, so less rests on his face.
- Start from the basic position.
- She leans her torso forward from the hips.
- She rests her hands on her knees.
- She adjusts the tilt until the contact feels right for both of you.
Variation 4: hovering just above his face
She lifts her hips slightly and hovers just above his face, with all her weight on her feet.
With no weight on his face, he breathes freely and moves his head and tongue more easily, while she controls the contact entirely by raising or lowering her hips. It asks more of her thighs, so it suits shorter moments.
- Start from the basic position.
- She presses into her feet and lifts her hips a little.
- She lowers or raises her pelvis to adjust the contact.
- She sits back down on the edge of the bed when her legs tire.
Variation 5: adding his hand
He keeps using his mouth and adds his fingers to caress the vulva or the clitoris.
The position stays the same, but his free hand reaches between her thighs. Combining mouth and fingers lets him vary the stimulation while she keeps control of the pressure.
- Start from the basic position.
- He brings one hand up between her thighs.
- He caresses the vulva or the clitoris with his fingers while using his mouth.
- She tells him which pressure and rhythm she prefers.
✓ Tips
- She keeps most of her weight on her feet and lifts her hips slightly whenever he needs more air.
- Agree on a clear signal for him to stop or ask for a break, such as tapping her thigh, since he may not be able to speak.
- A firm mattress edge makes the position more stable.
- A dental dam reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections during oral sex.
- If the bed is high, a cushion under her feet helps her keep them flat on the floor.
- Avoid sitting down with full weight on his face or pressing on his nose.

Frequently asked questions
Is it uncomfortable for the giver?
It shouldn't be if she keeps her weight on her feet. He should be able to breathe easily; agree on a signal to pause.
Why do it at the edge of the bed?
With her feet on the floor, she carries her own weight and controls the pressure more easily than when kneeling over his face.
Do we need protection?
Oral sex can transmit sexually transmitted infections. A dental dam over the vulva reduces that risk.
