Le plaisir féminin est à l’honneur avec le queening !

Female pleasure takes centre stage with queening!

Last updated on

There’s a “queen” in “queening”. As you’ve probably guessed, this article puts the pleasure of people with clitorises in the spotlight. Today, we’re shining a light on a very old but seriously hot sexual practice!


Queening: what’s it all about?



Queening refers directly to the royal status of the clitoris crowd. There’s something powerful about the name: a queen holds the power. The idea is that, during this practice, the person with a clitoris takes the lead. They take the reins and direct the action.


A little reminder: initiating a move or a practice doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with domination! Once the clothes have gone flying across the room, it’s not about who’s conducting the orchestra. No one is imposing their will on anyone else. The point is that either partner can take the initiative during sex!


The practice is also called “face-sitting”: “face” means, well, face, and “sitting” means sitting down. To state the obvious, queening involves straddling your partner’s face. If you’re a fan of oral sex, this article is especially for you!


Finding THE position for a queening session


The great thing about this practice is the chance to receive oral stimulation from your partner. That could be cunnilingus or anilingus — whatever you prefer or fancy at the time.


You can face your partner or turn your back to them. Which is best? Both are fun! It all depends on what gets you going and sends you to seventh heaven. Because yes, queening can lead to amazing orgasms!


Facing towards or away


Facing your partner is ideal if you want to maintain eye contact. Watching each other enjoy yourselves can be incredibly intense and pleasurable! It can also help guide the person performing cunnilingus or anilingus. Your reactions and body language can speak for you… The clues you give your partner will help them adjust what they’re doing to suit your pleasure even better! And if you find it hard to communicate between the sheets, that’s pretty handy!


If, on the other hand, your partner’s gaze makes you self-conscious when the focus is on your pleasure, you can face away from them. As a bonus, they’ll get to enjoy the sight of the gorgeous curves of your lower back!


Classic or… a bit more acrobatic


As I said earlier, it’s called “face-sitting”, but you don’t actually just sit there. There are plenty of variations to explore on the way to orgasm!


As for positioning, you can kneel with your hips slightly raised above your partner’s face. We’re aiming for pleasure together, not testing how long our other half can hold their breath. 😆


It’s a great way to keep moving freely and add a little back-and-forth, some hip movements — anything that might bring even more pleasure!


You can also balance on your feet, lowering your bottom as though you were doing a squat so your intimate areas are within reach of your partner’s tongue. It takes a bit more effort, but it’s a great way to enjoy yourself while working the glutes that support your body weight. A nice little bonus that could be worth the effort… Who said you had to go to the gym for a dream booty?!


Fancy a little extra pleasure? 


Lips, a tongue… You’ve already got some lovely ingredients for giving your partner pleasure. But you can take things even further. Go on, then — I’ll reveal our secret pleasure tricks!


You can also add YESforLOV popping candy to your oral play! These little crystals start to pop when they come into contact with your saliva… Sensations guaranteed for you and your partner!


You can also try the Slow Sex oral balm. Its minty scent brings a rather pleasant cooling sensation when it comes into contact with the clitoris! It's worth a try, and it's also great for lubrication… This balm has fantastic glide, so say goodbye to irritation if your partner has a beard, for example.


Since we're talking about lips, I also have to tell you about the warming and cooling lip gloss. The sensation of changing temperatures on your intimate areas is incredible! And let's not forget its delicious strawberry scent… It's hard not to nibble your lips before letting your partner experience the gloss's effects!


But what about keeping things equal? 


As you know, we’re all about promoting pleasure for everyone! In this article, we’ve talked a lot about clitoral stimulation and the pleasure it gives to people with clitorises.


But queening is actually something anyone can try. The only small difference is what it’s called. If a person with a penis “sits” on their partner’s face, it’s called “kinging”!


As with queening, there’s a wide range of positions to try: on your knees, supported by your feet, or with one foot planted and the other knee on the floor so you can keep your hips moving. The only thing that really matters is finding a position that’s comfortable for both partners, to make the most of the pleasure!



What do you think? Up for giving it a go? 💜
