Swing 2
An elevated swing variation for dynamic, flowing motion.
About This Position
The penetrating partner sits on a sturdy surface while the receiving partner sits on their lap facing them, wrapping legs around the waist. The receiving partner then leans back and uses their arms to swing their body back and forth, creating a pendulum-like motion that offers unique angles of stimulation.
Best For
Clitoral Stimulation
Limited direct clitoral stimulation from the swinging motion.
Hands can be used, but the dynamic motion makes it challenging.
G-Spot Stimulation
Good G-spot stimulation from the changing angles of the swing.
The pendulum motion creates varied internal stimulation.
Anatomy & Physiology

Step-by-Step Guide
The penetrating partner sits on a sturdy, stable surface (bed edge, bench, or chair without armrests) with feet flat on the floor for balance.
The receiving partner sits on their lap facing them, wrapping both legs firmly around the waist and locking ankles behind the back for grip.
The receiving partner places their hands on the penetrating partner's shoulders or grips the edge of the surface behind them for initial stability before beginning the swing.
The receiving partner leans their upper body backward while engaging their core, letting their hips swing forward — this changes the angle of penetration from shallow to deep along the G-spot as the body arcs.
Create a slow pendulum motion by alternating between leaning back (deep, G-spot pressure) and sitting upright (shallower, anterior wall stimulation), using abdominal muscles to control the arc.
The penetrating partner can assist the rhythm by gripping the receiving partner's hips and guiding the swing, pushing gently forward on the downswing to increase depth.
Build amplitude gradually — wider swings create more dramatic angle changes, so check in about cervical pressure and adjust the arc to avoid deep-spot overstimulation.
Safety & Precautions
Warnings
- ! Requires upper body strength and balance from the receiving partner.
- ! Can be exhausting to maintain.
- ! Ensure the seating surface is sturdy and won't tip.
Modifications
- * Start with gentle swings and increase intensity gradually.
- * Use a bed or low table for the seating surface.
Not recommended during pregnancy — the swinging motion and position are unsafe.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right technique, small errors can reduce pleasure or increase injury risk. Here are the most common mistakes couples make with the Swing 2 position:
Unstable seating surface
Using a chair that tips, a wobbly bench, or a surface too high for the penetrating partner's feet to reach the floor. The swing requires a rigid base — always test the surface before mounting and ensure feet are planted.
Arms not positioned for control
The receiving partner not placing hands on shoulders or the surface behind them before leaning back. Without hand anchoring, the lean-back is uncontrolled and can cause a sudden deep thrust or loss of balance.
Swinging from the hips instead of the core
Using hip flexion alone creates a bucking motion rather than a smooth pendulum. The swing should originate from the abdominals and lower back, creating a controlled arc, not a bounce.
Ignoring angle changes during the swing
The pendulum motion shifts the angle of penetration dramatically — from shallow/anterior to deep/cervical. Not communicating about which part of the arc feels best means missing the position's main benefit: varied stimulation zones.
Variations to Try
Once you've mastered the basic Swing 2, these variations can add new sensations and keep things exciting:
Add a Pillow
Place a pillow under the receiving partner's hips to change the angle of penetration and enhance stimulation.
Incorporate Manual Stimulation
Use hands to add clitoral or other external stimulation during the position for enhanced pleasure.
Slow Down the Pace
Switch from thrusting to grinding for a more intimate, sensation-focused experience.
Try Different Surfaces
Move from the bed to a couch, standing, or against a wall for different angles and experiences.
