The Sex Sling by Sportsheets is a product that really caught my interest. I thought it would help to get in the perfect position for great sex and a very intense orgasm. Boy was I wrong!

When it got here, my boyfriend and I were really eager to try it out. It looked like it would be fairly comfortable. It has the nylon straps, but the ankle cuffs and neck strap are both covered in faux fur with a cheetah print. As far as looks were concerned, it looked pretty nice. Using the sex sling, however, was not so nice.

You are supposed put the fur cushion on the long strap behind your neck and then wrap the fur cuffs around your ankles. Pretty simple to do, but it really didn’t help the mood much for us to stop what we were doing and get this contraption put on right.

The straps on the sex sling have these two little slide buckles to adjust the length of the straps on each side. They kind of reminded me of the adjustable seat belt in a shopping cart. Anyway, all you do is hold the ends of the straps, one in each hand, and pull them down to tighten the strap. Tightening the strap makes your legs go higher in the air. It does make it easier to keep your legs in that position for a longer period of time. That is, until you pull it enough to make the long strap tighten against the back of your neck. Once it is tightened that much it does not loosen easily and that hurts. We had to stop so I could just take it off. I think it would have worked a little better if it would have had a quick release button on it that would allow it to loosen up quickly.

So, the Sex Sling by Sportsheets was a flop. It will go in the bottom of the toy chest and most likely will not be heard of again.
