Facesittingis common among dominant and submissive individuals, for demonstrating superiority and for sexual gratification. Unlike smothering, in facesitting the bottom partner is not deprived of air. The full-weight body-pressure, moisture,sex odors and darkness can be perceived as powerful sexual attractions or compulsions. The person sat upon may be inbondage, sexually submissive, or simply held down by the body-weight of the other person.
