Have you ever owned a toy that you loved immensely (see photo to the left), then later saw a smaller version (see photo below and to the right) and said why not it should work just like the big one only be more storable? We did just that when we bought our Door Swing. We have a Sex Swing. We love it. Unfortunately the Sex Swing requires a solid ceiling, a tall door or an expensive frame. We have not had any of those in a while and thus our Sex Swing sat in the box. On stormy nights we were sure that we could hear the box from under the bed, “Set me up. Set me up.”
While flipping through our adult toy catalog we found the Door Swing. Take everything you like about the Sex Swing, make it smaller, portable and above all you don’t need a solid ceiling or expensive frame, just a door to hang the swing from. The couple in the photo looked like they were having fun. The description couldn’t have been better. The price even better. Why not?
I’ll tell you why not! Are you flexible? Are you the “right” weight? Are you able to manuever yourself into the Door Swing? Do you mind not floating above the ground while fucking, but instead banging up against the door? Do you like hearing the door bang in time with what thrusting you can get going?
To use the Door Swing you need to be flexible, unlike the Sex Swing which provides a seat for you to sit in, the Door Swing is two parallel straps that use the door for back support. There is no bottom support which means that you have to be flexible and have really good leg muscles to keep yourself from “falling;” literally dropping down in between the straps until your ass is on the ground and your legs are still in the straps.
The Sex Swing is good for up to 300 pounds, 400 if you have the frame. The Door Swing, who knows, but not close to 200, not at all. Remember there is no support of any kind. What would be foot stirups on the Sex Swing are thigh straps on the Door Swing, which means that you cannot use your feet to brace yourself against the door. Thus weight plays a roll in how long you can support yourself against the door.
Getting into the Sex Swing is a matter of sitting down and then putting arms and feet in place. The Door Swing requires two people or a step stool, chair or other piece of equipment. A leg has to go through the thigh strap, then the other thigh strap. The thigh straps have to be maneuvered into place while trying to get your hands in the right place to support yourself, but you need your hands to keep you up and so on. A major pain in the ass and a major mood killer.
Now that you got yourself into position, did you remember to adjust the length of the straps so that you are in position for sex? Oh, well back to step one and then back into the contraption. Now you are in position. Oh, your legs are tired, don’t blame you, but still we are here. Ever had sex standing up? Fun isn’t it, kind of tiring depending on the position (s) involved, but fun. Door Swing Sex? Not so much fun. She can’t move, no swinging, no floating, just up against the door and if you pull her away from the door she has to work harder at maintaining her balance (remember no back support), so you end up fucking up against a door with someone who has limited movement. Unless your door shuts very tight it starts to bang in time with what you are doing. Does she like to toss her head back, don’t do that.
The best thing that we could find to do with the Door Swing was eating her out or playing with toys while I sat on the floor. That was the best. Right now the straps are left hanging around our place for people to find and question us about.

In the studio where we work, we use sex swings extensively. The swing is the easy part – the real complexity is the SAFE rigging on the ceiling. We use metal wires on multiple hooks for redundant safety if any hook fails…
Also, huge shortcoming of typical sex swings: lack of neck rest – we had to jury rig one…

I will whole heartedly agree that hanging a sex swing up so that it feels safe and secure is a bit more work than the instructions indicate; if I remember right “drill hole, insert screw, hang swing, start screwing.”
How did you jury rig a neck rest that would be of interest to us and other swing owners?
