My wife really likes the look of a sex swing, are they worth the money or do they only look good on porn videos? The thought of them turns me on and drives her crazy but i want to be sure they’re worth it before purchasing

I totally get it but my experience has been it’s like buying a stationary bicycle. All the rage for about two weeks then becomes a place to hang cloths. If you decide to go for it anyway make sure you hang from a structural beam rather than a door frame or regular dry wall or plaster.

A dummy smoke alarm can be good to cover the eye bolt in the ceiling if you have kids or other people who may see it?
I would like to try one but its not going to happen decide what you want from it and whether it would be a long term purchase?
You good at diy, the eye bolt requires a good sturdy fixing.
As others have said, they’re a short term toy because there’s only so much you can do with one…
However, if you create a hard point in the ceiling you can easily use a hanging chair as a swing whenever you like and keep it up all year round as a “reading nook/chair”.
The benefit to a hard point over a freestanding sex swing is you can always learn suspension, use it for predicament bondage or just plain experiment with it.
TLDR, they are good because it’s interesting but used less often than you’d think

I don’t rate the over the door held ones, we tried for awhile but didn’t work out great for us.
Still waiting on me to get my arse I to gear and sort a hook out in the ceiling with a fake fire detector to cover it
@fredge
The ones that hang from the ceiling are wonderful and well worth the money - but you need a good ceiling joist to fix it too and be careful with weight limits- but yes defo worth the money

I’ve never tried one but always wanted to although I get the impression that once you’ve done it a few times the shine wears off

Definitely make sure you mount it to a joist, otherwise youll be picking bits of ceiling from your hair and have a bruised bum

You’re better putting an additional joist beam across 3-5 beams to spread the weight across multiple beams.
Static weight will be fine for a single joist but dynamic weight can push it over the limit and cause damage over time.

LOL… good question.
So we have the over the door type swing. We never use it. It’s a faff and Dosent really work properly as your basically stuck against the door. I’m not in the market for a ceiling mounted one and a “fake” smoke alarm to avoid the awkward questions. Personally I’d advise against a door mounted one.
We have a ceiling mounted one, and it is good fun. We don’t use it a lot, but enjoy it when we do. To be honest, we were slightly disappointed, as we thought we’d use it all the time, but as has been said, there are limited uses.
But if we move, would we set it up again. Absolutely.

Sorry to drag up an old post, but the idea of a hard point on the ceiling is gaining appeal to us, but I’m wondering how to set that up so as to prevent damage to the plaster/gyprock during use, as I can imagine it will be used quite regularly and … vigorously.
I am torn between it being super-tight to prevent movement (which is not guaranteed), having a plate of some sort to prevent damage (but increases visibility) or to keep it loose enough to avoid ceiling damage, with a lock nut and split pin to prevent it screwing itself loose.
Hoping someone here who has already done it can provide some sage input!
If your anchor points moves about, your instal will fail.
The main work will need to be done above ceiling level, ensure your joist are sufficiently strong 1st, and then spreading the load between several joists to ensure stability/rigidity.
From this, you’ll be able to fit a sturdy enough block of wood/metal plate between the joists in which the anchor point should be fitted.
The anchor point should show no movement but allow whatever is hooked to it to move.
If it’s very vigorously used, you may see cracks develop all over the ceiling if the joists aren’t strong enough to support the forces applied.

We love ours. Don’t use it as much as we like but still worth every penny in my opinion 
This is exactly right. An eye through the ceiling, mounted through a block of wood (or steel plate), with the block of wood or steel plate mounted across multiple joists, is the only way to go. I really have no idea how houses are constructed outside the states, but I do not imagine it is much different so I am thinking it would be a simple install anywhere

Thanks for that, @JustAnotherPervert. My original thought was mounting through an existing joist and preventing any side movement with additional nogs, but using a steel plate over multiple joists would potentially increase my options of where the hard point could go.
More thought required.
