Facesitting doesn’t always need to be a high-energy, hands-on, dominant performance. Sometimes the most intoxicating sessions come when the top isn’t trying too hard—when they’re simply present, relaxed, and completely at ease in their own power.
This week for #FullWeightWednesday, let’s talk about one of the quietest yet most potent variations of fullweight play: the Reading Sit. It’s when your top plants herself fully on your face, opens her book or tablet, and starts reading. That’s it. That’s the scene. And it can be heaven.
Why It Works
There’s something incredibly powerful about a top who doesn’t feel the need to perform for you. She’s not there to give you constant attention. She’s not making eye contact, she’s not teasing—she’s simply sitting, immersed in her own world, while you remain pinned beneath her. The message is clear: your job is to take it. Her comfort comes first.
And the result? A beautifully calm, extended smother. One where time stretches out. One where the bottom is forced to sink deep into their role, breathing less, moving less, and becoming furniture in the best possible way.
Praise for the Passive Queen
Not every top wants—or needs—to micromanage a scene. And those who give themselves permission to sit fullweight and then detach just a little deserve some serious praise. It takes confidence to trust that your weight, your presence, and your casual dominance are enough. It takes self-assurance to let go of control in that way.
The reading sit is a beautiful hybrid of neglect and attention. You’re there. You’re seated. You’re pressing down. And the fact that you’re not reacting to every squirm or gasp only reinforces the power exchange.
Tips for Breath Access Without Interrupting Reading
While fullweight facesitting can be intense and thrilling, safety and sustainability matter—especially during long sits where the top is focused elsewhere. Here are some tips to give the bottom safe, manageable breath access without needing a tap-out:
1. The Subtle Tilt Every few minutes, the top can shift her hips slightly to one side. This doesn’t require stopping reading—it can be as unconscious as shifting in your seat while reading normally. This gives the bottom a brief pocket of air without breaking the rhythm.
2. The One-Cheek Lift A simple lift of one buttock for a single breath can be enough. Done lazily, without even looking away from the page, this keeps the scene flowing and the bottom oxygenated.
3. Thigh Spread for Edge Breathing Keep your thighs slightly spread, allowing the bottom’s nose or mouth a sliver of space against your inner thigh. Not enough for comfort—but enough to prolong the session. It’s especially useful if you’re seated in a forward-leaning position.
4. Use of Cushions or Positioning If sitting on a couch or bed, elevate the bottom’s chest slightly using a pillow so their nose is angled just barely outward. This allows you to remain fullweight on their face while still offering minimal edge breathing.
5. Timed Rhythm Some tops find a natural reading pace and lift slightly every few pages or every few minutes—just enough to provide a cycle. The bottom may come to anticipate the rhythm, which enhances the submissive headspace.
Final Thoughts
The reading sit is a gift to both partners. The top gets comfort, peace, and the quiet joy of dominating without effort. The bottom gets the unique thrill of being flattened beneath someone who couldn’t care less that they’re squirming. It’s a sit that says: You’re mine. You’re beneath me. And you’re going to stay there while I enjoy myself.
So here’s to the readers. The queens with Kindles. The paperback thrones. You’re doing facesitting exactly right. Keep your weight steady, your book interesting, and let your bottom melt into blissful objecthood.
