So, last week we explored the sheer power and dominance of very large tops during fullweight facesitting. This week, we’re flipping the perspective and talking about what it takes for bottoms to thrive under that intense pressure. If you’re a bottom who craves the weight but struggles with its intensity, or if you’re new to the experience, this post is for you. We’ll dive into practical tips, mental strategies, and how to build resilience without sacrificing safety or pleasure.
The Challenge of Large Tops
When a very large top sits fullweight on a bottom’s face, the experience can be overwhelming—physically, mentally, and emotionally. The weight feels like a blanket that traps breath, a storm that blocks out light and sound. For many bottoms, this is an exhilarating kind of suffering, but it doesn’t come without its challenges.
The physical pressure on the chest, the inability to breathe freely, and the lack of escape can trigger panic, especially for those not yet accustomed to the feeling. That’s why it’s so important to have strategies in place before you find yourself under the weight.
Building Mental Resilience
The first step to thriving under a large top is learning how to mentally embrace the experience. It’s not just about enduring—it’s about wanting it, about transforming fear into pleasure. Here are some tips:
- Mindfulness over Panic: Start by focusing on your breath. It’s easy to slip into panic when you can’t breathe fully, but center yourself by taking slow, deep breaths as best you can. If you find yourself gasping for air, remind yourself that it’s temporary. The more you practice controlling your breath, the easier it becomes to stay present.
- Control Your Surrender: Fullweight with a large top is a form of extreme submission. Let go of your need to control the situation. There’s freedom in surrendering. If you’re anxious or scared, remind yourself that you are in good hands. Your top is guiding this experience—let go of the need to fight against it.
- Visualize the Release: The pressure and the weight will build, but so will your release. Focus on the moment when you get to inhale deeply, when your top shifts to give you air. The anticipation of that breath can be almost as erotic as the suffocation itself.
Physical Strategies for Adapting to the Weight
The next challenge is adapting your body to cope with the overwhelming sensation of a large top’s fullweight. It’s not just about “surviving” the pressure—it’s about learning to flow with it.
- Find Your Position: Every body is different. If you can position your head to the side, under the top’s weight, or adjust slightly to keep pressure off your nose, you’ll find more comfort and control. Explore different angles with your top so that your head isn’t completely flat. Slight shifts can make a huge difference.
- Anchor Your Legs: Keep your legs anchored to the ground. Keeping your body grounded through your legs will help you feel more in control. It also helps prevent the bottom from losing balance, especially if the top is shifting their weight from time to time.
- Practice Breathing Control: Sometimes, a bottom’s discomfort under fullweight comes not just from the weight but from breathing limitations. Learn to breathe through your nose and slowly exhale, staying calm with each breath. Building this ability through practice makes it easier to stay in the moment during a sit.
Developing Endurance: Training for Fullweight Facesitting
Adaptation comes with time and practice. If you’re new to fullweight under a large top, you don’t need to jump straight into two-hour sessions. Start small and build your endurance in increments.
- Start Slow: In your first sessions, keep the fullweight times short. Focus on adjusting your body and breath before gradually increasing the duration. This will help your mind and body get used to the sensation before you dive into the longer, heavier experiences.
- Gradual Intensity: Begin with a gentle sit—no grinding or shifting—and then progress to heavier, longer sits. As your tolerance builds, the weight and intensity can increase in stages. You’ll learn to read your own limits and communicate them effectively.
The Power of Communication
Whether you’re new to fullweight play or a seasoned sub, communication with your top is crucial. When you’re under the weight of a very large top, it can feel impossible to speak, but signals and prior agreements are essential.
- Signals for Escape: Work with your top to develop hand signals, taps, or other non-verbal cues. If you need a break or need to adjust your position, it’s important to have these signals in place so the scene doesn’t stop abruptly or cause discomfort.
- Ongoing Check-ins: A top should never assume their bottom is completely comfortable just because they’re silent. Even in the heat of the moment, check in with your bottom. This can be as simple as a whisper, a gentle tap, or a soft look down. It keeps the connection strong and helps avoid potential safety issues.
Aftercare: The Return to Grounding
After a session of intense fullweight play, it’s important to return to your body with aftercare. The bottom may feel both raw and euphoric after such an experience. It’s important to slowly come back to the present.
- Physical Touch: Light caresses, rubbing the arms, or stroking the head can help bring the bottom out of a headspace of intensity. The weight may have been overwhelming, but the return to gentle touch is grounding and nurturing.
- Emotional Support: Discuss the experience once the session has ended. Ask your bottom how they’re feeling and if there’s anything they’d like to adjust for next time. Emotional release can happen during aftercare, especially after the intensity of a large top’s fullweight play.
Conclusion: Craving the Weight
For bottoms, the challenge of being beneath the weight of a large top is not just about surviving it—it’s about craving it. It’s about transforming discomfort into a potent kind of pleasure. Once you’ve learned to adapt, to surrender, and to thrive, you’ll find yourself drawn back, time and time again, to the weight of the top who claims you completely.
