Terminology

sex swing

A sex swing (also known as a sling) is a type of harness designed to allow sexual intercourse between one partner suspended by the swing and another who moves freely. Though there is considerable variety in the design, the most common sex swings have a support for the back, another for the buttocks, and stirrups for each leg, which can be adjusted whilst the user is suspended. • Illustration — Frontispiece from the 1787 book La matinée libertine, ou, Les momens bien employés ("The Libertine Morning, or, Moments Well Spent")
