Living furniture
Living furniture is an erotic role play , which is also known under the name forniphilia (from English forniphilia) and occurs in different forms. This sexual practice belongs to the group of games in the field of BDSM , in which the bottom is turned from a top to an object of use . Outside of BDSM, an “erotic live buffet” is sometimes offered at parties, in which the food is served on the body of a naked woman (rarely a man ).
The rollplay
Mark
In forniphilia, the top uses the bottom as an ashtray, ottoman, bench or table, among other things. The bottom can be naked or, on the contrary, isolated from its environment as completely as possible by clothing; he can bondage ( bondage must remain) in the required attitude or they take themselves. Often the aim of the game is as long as possible in order to underline the object status of the bottom. The bottom doesn't have to be completely passive. With some shapes such as a table, his help can be essential, for example if a wine glass has been placed on his back and he has to make sure that it does not tip over.
Common forms
Ashtray : There are two variants for the implementation: Either the bottom catches the ash with one or two open hands or it is tapped in his open mouth. With the latter form, some safety precautions must be observed.
Buffet : As described, the bottom is usually naked on a table and covered with food, which the top or tops then remove. The shape is considered common in Japan and can be part of a business lunch there. There are strict rules of conduct, e.g. B. pertaining to cleaning.
Footstool and stool : The bottom kneels on all fours or is tied into a ball while the top places its feet on it. The game thus contains elements of foot fetishism .
Candlesticks : These shapes use elements of the wax games : the bottom has to hold candles in his hands or mouth, or they are inserted into his body orifices.
Seating : These shapes are usually made as a bench with a top with a light body weight and a bottom that lies on all fours. Using the bottom as a chair with a backrest takes some effort. A well-known example of a female bottom converted into an office chair can be found in the work of bondage artist Gord . The related practices face sitting or Queening and smothering are usually not counted in the Forniphilie.
Statue : The bottom is not used directly as a piece of furniture, but is used as a decorative element or more generally displayed (see doll ).
Table : The bottom kneels on all fours with his back representing the table top. Sometimes a board or the like is used as a real table top to make it easier to put dishes on.
Toilet : the combination of forniphilia with pee or scat . The bottom can be enclosed in a construction or tied in such a way that it is impossible for him to close his mouth, for example under a toilet chair .
Game elements
The bottom can be tied up in his position, on the one hand to force his passivity, but also to make it easier for him to take this position. The exact opposite can also be the case if the bottom is tied up in such a way that he has to exert himself or torture himself in order to hold the expected position. When the bottom is displayed as a statue, decorative bondage can be used to emphasize body parts, such as a chest bondage.
The area of living furniture also includes games in which the bottom is not allowed to move, comparable to mental bondage .
