Bellyriding

In BDSM, bellyriding generally involves a dominant partner physically mounting or sitting on the submissive’s stomach, often while the submissive lies flat on their back. It can be playful, sensual, or part of power exchange. In BDSM bellyriding, the dominant may straddle, press, or ride the sub’s midsection. It can also involve immobility, breath control, or pressure play. In some cases, it’s also tied to FemDom or human furniture play (e.g., using a partner’s body as a seat or platform). Bellyriding also has strong fantasy elements, where the partner being ridden is a monster, beast, or horse, with a partner strapped onto them back-to-front. It is often seen in hentai. In this version, there is strong overlap with giant/giantess fetishism. ### Why People Are Into It For those who are into it, bellyriding can be erotic for a few reasons: - Power and vulnerability: With one partner is elevated, this can be a strong symbol of power exchange. - Body appreciation: Bellyriding can be a way to worship a belly and appreciate a person's body. - Pony play: For some, riding is roleplay. - Size play: For those with a giant/giantess fetish, the fantasy is about riding a giant belly and feeling small next to it. ### Safety and Consent The key to safe(r) bellyriding is to focus on breathing, positioning, and pressure management. Here are a few tips to follow: - Don’t compress the diaphragm or ribs; keep weight in thighs/hips. - Avoid prone (face-down) restraint for safety. - Use pillows/wedges to distribute pressure. - Skip play if the partner has abdominal issues or pregnancy risks.
