Erotic furniture

A chair designed to facilitate threesomes, exhibited in the Sex Machines Museum in Prague

Erotic furniture, also known as sex furniture, is any form of furniture that is designed to act as an aid to sexual activity. This includes furniture and harnesses designed to aid positioning,[1] assisting with comfort, penetration level and stimulation.[2] Other types of erotic furniture are constructed to be an aid to erotic bondage. The functionality may be obvious or the erotic furniture may be designed to appear as conventional furniture.[3] Some conventional items of furniture such as the four-poster bed and the chaise longue traditionally have erotic associations,[4] but they are not considered to be erotic furniture as their primary use is not erotic. Erotic furniture can also be furniture decorated with erotic art.
