Chair straddle (facing)
Also known as face-to-face chairlap straddleseated facing
Chair straddle has one partner seated on a chair while the other straddles their lap facing them — kissing-close, gentle, and easy to control from either side.
The gist
Bring the intimacy of face-to-face lap-sitting to a supportive chair: the seated partner stays comfortable while the one on top straddles, controlling depth and pace with their legs and the floor. Faces stay close for kissing and eye contact throughout.
Step by step
One partner sits on a sturdy, armless chair.
The other straddles their lap, facing them, feet on the floor.
Wrap arms around each other and find a gentle rhythm.
The top partner uses the floor to control depth and pace.
Tips
- A firm, stable chair without wheels is safest — or the edge of a solid sofa.
- It's naturally kissing-distance, so lean into the closeness and eye contact.
