Erotic furniture, also known as sex furniture, is any form of furniture that is designed to act as an aid to sexual activity, either as a positioning tool or an aid to erotic bondage. Erotic furniture can also be furniture decorated with erotic art. While almost any furniture can be used to aid sexual activity, conventional furniture is not considered to be erotic furniture as its primary use is not erotic.
Specifically designed furniture for erotic purposes can include:
In the eighteenth century, the Russian Empress Catherine the Great collected erotic furniture, including tables with penises for legs and other items carved in relief with penises and vulvas.
The British King Edward VII, who was heavily overweight, used a specially constructed "love seat" when he visited the famous brothel, Le Chabanais in Paris. The piece still exists and a replica is exhibited at the Musée de l'Erotisme in Pigalle.
