To feel weird about being second woman on sex chair

I don’t think I am BU but interested in whether other people would just get over it.

Been with my boyfriend for two years, we don’t live together yet and he has just got some furniture out of storage after moving house. One item that he has recently mentioned is a curvy foam chair/sofa thing made for sex. I will add a photo of similar. Although he originally bought it new I think it’s fairly likely he has had sex with his ex on it.

I am not usually jealous at all but I feel really weird about this - I guess because it’s specially made for sex? And because it’s foam I feel like if it wasn’t covered it has probably absorbed some juices 🙈. Although surely any bacteria will be dead after two years. I just don’t want to be lying on this thing knowing his ex was in the same positions, thinking maybe she was face down in the same spot and we would be basically cheek to cheek!

These feelings are all new to me as I don’t usually think about exes and I’ve never been confronted with sex furniture/toys/accessories that weren’t my own or bought new. AIBU to feel weird about this? Would you just put a waterproof sheet down and try to get over it, or refuse to use it because you don’t want to feel uncomfortable during sex?

How does one explain a sex chair in the living room to the children?😨 Or the in laws.🤔

What's with the posts about sex chairs lately I saw another one yesterday

😂

UhOhRatPoo · 24/05/2026 14:29

I was really hoping this thread was going to be about a woman who was leading a committee dedicated to discussing sex and gender issues!

Vitrolinsanity · 24/05/2026 14:24

Coming back to this, I note now the flip top chest part at the front which you could turn into an ice box. Who wouldn’t say no to a Magnum half-way through, whilst as a PP said watching Rip.

Has he got a disability? Why on earth would anyone need a sex chair like that?! Its not even putting you in a creative position. How random.

CoffeeCantata · 24/05/2026 14:21

That would turn me off sex for life and send me screaming to a nunnery.

Super-tacky.

For similar reasons. You can get in different positions you may not be able to without extra support. Especially if you aren’t flexible or have much core strength.

I can't figure for the life of me what different positions you'd be able to get in on that chair, and I don't want to Google it 🫣 What can one do on that, which one can't do better with a mound of cushions and a bed?

I've tried the full gamut of positions in my lifetime, and I honestly still can't work out what one could do on that chair. It seems much too narrow and low to the ground for most things, including comfortable doggy, and the shape looks limiting.

hallenbad · 24/05/2026 14:17

Honestly it looks quite comfy to me. Accept I seem to be in a small minority 😂 Unfortunately it offends my interior design sensibilities though so I couldn’t have it sitting there looking at me like some sort of 80s ottoman!

Gotta be a wind up by a bloke this one.

CultOfTheAirFryer · 24/05/2026 14:15

Well this is grim.

Agree with the suggestion that you should flatly refuse to ever use it, and see if he bins/sells it or puts it back in storage. It might tell you a lot about your relationship.

I’m looking at this chair, thinking, ‘wow, how practical…that would really save my knees..,’

🤣

IIRC that was built to accommodate three.

for helpful (stick figure) examples of how it could be used:

Arrhhh no. What have I done to my algorithms now ?

Sorry you have to deal with that, one of my best mates suffers from Fibro and it's an absolute fecker💐
See now you've explained it I totally see why someone in your position (no pun intended!) might buy one of these things. That makes a lot of sense. But I don't think they're designed specifically for people who have chronic pain/mobility issues are they? If so then I still don't get why someone without those issues would need one.

I know I am old but I had never heard of a sex chair until the last few days !

Me too.

The other “sex chair” was on the thread where the woman’s husband had bought her a “gift” of a sex chair to spice up their lives because he was having an affair with the office junior whom he referred to in texts as Bimbo. He even had the neck to ask his wife to assemble the chair as he was too busy.

Same here other than reading that as Edward V11 grew older and ever more portly he had a sex chair designed to accommodate his weight and bulk.

I’m not a user, but I recently saw an advertisement for one. I have fibromyalgia, have constant pain. I physically can’t be in one position for long, I mean both sex and normal life. My hips and lower back are definitely the ones that suffer during sex. Something like this would definitely help me.

stop saying "juices"

IDontHateRainbows · 24/05/2026 13:59

In my day you did it in a bed...

KingOfPoundbury · 24/05/2026 13:57

One knows exactly what you mean.
It is well documented that I take my own toilet seat with me whenever I visit different areas of my domain.
Pehaps you could do something similar, and obtain your own 'sex chair' and then take that with you, should your relationship with this fellow ever terminate?

NotOneMoreLunge · 24/05/2026 13:53

I can’t figure out what you could do on it, other than shown on the picture. Seems to up a lot of space for not that much versatility.

Have Niteflirt increased their chat prices again?

Bloatstoat · 24/05/2026 13:51

This thread has really cheered up my day, I am missing the laugher reaction Grin

My first thought was where would you put it?! I do have a small house, completely filled with kids random stuff, but I've never had a bedroom big enough to fit more than a bed/wardrobe/maybe a chest of drawers, my current living room struggles to hold a small sofa and additional chair - and surely it's not the sort of thing you expect guests to sit on Envy Do you keep it in the shed and just bring it out for special occasions? I clearly just don't have the sort of home and lifestyle that allows for a sex chair.
