Queening: what is this sexual practice where the woman takes precedence over her partner?

The queening: this word may mean nothing to you and yet, it can alone lead you to orgasm. Queening is a widespread sexual practice, especially among lovers of oral sex. How to go about increasing the desire? What precautions should be taken ? Here's everything you need to know.

What is queening?

First of all, how can we define queening? As its name suggests, queening is a sexual practice that derives from the word "queen". It therefore confers a status of queen on the woman and places her in a dominant position. Queening actually has the same meaning as facesitting, which is sitting on your partner's face. This practice therefore concerns oral sex and allows women to concentrate on their own pleasure, by riding their partner.

According to Gigi Engle, author and sex educator interviewed by Men's Health, queening is "a great position for orgasms because it focuses on the clitoris," whose role is sometimes essential to reaching seventh heaven. A study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy in 2017 indicated that 37% of 1,000 women surveyed reached orgasm through clitoral stimulation. Gigi Engle therefore indicates that this practice is ideal for providing "pleasure to your partner", while giving the couple the opportunity to explore the principles of domination and submission.

The practice of queening dates back to ancient Egypt

According to the Urban Dictionary, queening is an "ancient art," whose origins date back to ancient Egypt. Some vases of the time also honored this sexual practice. It therefore initially allowed "upper class" women to obtain "sexual gratification without becoming pregnant" and whether they were single or married.

Queening is therefore an ancestral practice, which is found and perpetuated in many other cultures, especially in Japan. It now crosses the boundaries of social class and can be enjoyed by all lovers of oral sex. But this practice does not only concern heterosexual couples, and can therefore be suitable for all orientations: the main thing is to let yourself go and therefore, to take maximum pleasure.

The practice of queening can be likened to sadomasochism

If the practice of queening allows the woman to gain the upper hand over her partner, she also understands this idea of submission, especially of the man, as the author Maïa Mazaurette explains in a column published by Le Monde. According to her, it is above all a "fantasy of submissive men". The practice of queening therefore tends to be associated with sadomasochism. Our colleagues from GQ also quote her in their “Little beginner’s guide to sadomasochism”. For the submissive partner, the whole point of queening is to "venerate" the woman who straddles his face: once again, the dominant position and the status of queen are omnipresent.

Queening is therefore the ideal sexual practice if you want to increase desire and increase sensations tenfold. The equivalent exists of course on the male side and is called the kinging. But when you want to experiment with this position, whether with a partner, comfort should be given priority: Maïa Mazaurette affirms that "discomfort can prevent orgasm". To avoid this inconvenience, it is essential to choose your position well upstream, in order to be comfortable and therefore to be able to let go and take full advantage of the moment.
