To feel weird about being second woman on sex chair

314 replies

TheBloomingDahlia · 24/05/2026 09:31

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?

That's why it's better to get one of those huge bean bags! Just as good for different positions but "innocent" looking for friends and family.

Trust me after this thread, shall never again look at a bean bag in Auntie Bunny’s house in quite the same way. And I think I need to consider bringing a towel with me wherever I go from now on.

BTW I’m even wondering now about your rather wonderful username 😂

GrimGusset · 24/05/2026 15:06

Damn censorship. I had links in the post.

Search for tantra chair positions or karma sutra chair positions. Lots of variety and not just doggy. Helpful diagrams too.

Did he buy a new bed when you met? Or as he had his ex in the same position he has you on it? Ever done it on the couch or dining table? I think you're being silly, after at least 2 years I'm sure none of her 'juices' are on it.

Pretty sure he has changed the sheets in 2 years so hardly the same thing at all is it?

shuggles · 24/05/2026 15:16

@TheBloomingDahlia I think you are unusually fixated on people having a past. Yes, he has had a previous partner. You seem fixated on this chair, but this partner may also have shared his home, his sofa, his bathroom, his bed, etc.

Most people have had previous partners and relationships and that's just a part of life. Most people don't have an issue with it. I wouldn't have an issue with it either.

So I'm not really sure why the idea of a man having a previous partner is bothersome. If purity is important, then the only option is that you have relationships with virgins, but that's going to drastically reduce your dating pool.

King Edward VII had a sex chair commissioned when he was a fat old bastard who needed some help to have a menage a trois.

The sex chair in the image is gimmicky and off putting, I mean what makes it so different to shoving a pillow under your guts for doggy if needs be.

Anyhow, no, I wouldn't be shagging my man on a specifically designed sex aid he'd rogered someone else on. I wouldn't even have it in the house. Gross.

And OP I just wanted to add that your thread title is fucking hilarious, it has made my day and the responses on here have had me howling with laughter.

I am new to MN and so don't know if this is a thing but if at the end of the year MN do a top 10 of AIBU thread titles you are a strong contender for the winner 😂.

I agree. Definitely a contender for Classics!

Did you never have fun on the back seat of a car? I wasn't talking about driving around nude, I was talking about being intimate.

I'm sorry, I wasn't taking any of this very seriously tbh...

FernFaery · 24/05/2026 15:18

Error404FucksNotFound · 24/05/2026 10:02

That seems poorly designed. Would it not be better to have a non absorbent surface that would just wipe clean?

So the sort of material they use in soft plays? Wouldn’t that feel… wrong?

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.

😂😂😂😂😂

Wow, Big Sex Chair are getting really creative with their marketing tactics!

Be honest, Hedgehog. Are you just jealous because you work for their deadly rivals the Sex Coffee Table Company?

I maintain that chair was purchased by a secret anti-royalist (or as a joke), as I will never believe that it was sturdy enough to support his great bulk. It would be a heap of splinters.

And the footplates look tiny. Did he have tiny little feet?

HermioneWeasley · 24/05/2026 10:03

You’re making some assumptions @TheBloomingDahlia , perhaps he likes bending over on it and getting pegged?

Yep. This totally. He likes being bent over and pegged.

Just got to say this thread is hilarious! Deffo wouldn’t want to use a 2nd hand chair! Ugh. Loving the comments on here 🤣

What ever happened to a bottle of wine and a negligée?

The bottle of wine was never enough to stop me being turned off by my partner in his negligée.

Papster · 24/05/2026 16:36

Suddenly it all makes sense.

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

There was a thread where a sex chair was being bought by a man when his partner found out about sexy goings on at his work. Somehow it was the partners fault (poster on MN) for neglecting him so a sex chair was clearly needed to get the marriage back on track.

Woah! This is a man and bedroom hygiene may not be on a list of priorities. A UV light would reveal more!!!

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 24/05/2026 16:57

I’d probably burn it. Yeah I know it’s not great to burn plastics/synthetics.

Pedallleur · 24/05/2026 16:57

Mimosaandonwards · 24/05/2026 12:48

Definitely best not to get these two mixed up. That's much more of a niche fetish. 😂

Bet there is an OnlyFans for it.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 24/05/2026 16:58

The one I think is listed here is £500. What a waste of money.

Pedallleur · 24/05/2026 16:59

SandrenaIsMyBloodType · 24/05/2026 12:08

Put it on marketplace 😱
Really? Who are the people buying second-hand sex equipment on Facebook? I really need this not to be a thing

Prob some on eBay. Almost new, lightly used, easy wipe.

I just checked EBay. As well as some flimsy cheap things there is a used one. Boak.

I watched Abby Clancey visit Caprice's house . Sex swing and f*nny steamer ( I'm sorry can't say it on God's day!). I know she's beautiful but if I looked like that I'd be doing Jack all to move things along. What temperature do you need? was my question because my brain works like that
The DH is quite amused after a 'busy' morning with dodgy knees.

One careful owner? I'm not going to look. Can you imagine your partner telling you he's nipping out to collect the sex chair he's bought at a bargain price.
