Reverse facesitting—also known as smothering from behind—is a thrilling variation on a classic power exchange position. For many, it’s the ultimate display of dominance: the top’s full backside descending over the bottom’s face, obscuring their vision, muffling every breath, and pinning them in sensory overload. There’s a reason this angle remains a favorite in the smothering world—it’s visual, visceral, and undeniably overwhelming.
The Appeal of the Reverse
Why does reverse facesitting hold such power? First, there’s the obvious: the view. Or rather, the lack of one. From this position, the bottom sees nothing but skin and shadow, framed by thighs. Their world narrows to sensation—heat, pressure, scent, and the shifting, sometimes grinding, weight of their top.
Second, reverse facesitting encourages total submission. Without eye contact or visibility, the bottom becomes further disoriented. They’re not just being sat on; they’re being engulfed. It’s an act that blurs the line between erotic play and primal domination.
Positioning & Control
For tops, reverse sitting allows for a powerful position that also feels natural. The angle makes it easier to fully settle back and take control, especially when aiming for longer sits. Depending on how you position your knees—on either side of the bottom’s head or further down their chest—you can vary the pressure and level of immobilization.
It’s also easier for the top to use the full surface of their backside to smother the bottom. Rocking motions, grinding, and full-weight drops can be performed more intuitively. With the right straddle, a top can comfortably read, sip tea, or simply sink into their seat.
Personal Aside: My Favorite Way to Be Sat On
Reverse facesitting is, without a doubt, my favorite. There’s something divine about the moment I realize the only thing I’ll be seeing is a pair of cheeks descending toward my face. That view—full, round, and closing in—immediately short-circuits everything else in my brain. It’s pure surrender.
The position of my nose means I get a deep, rich scent experience, especially when my top has been active, sweaty, or has just come off a long day. I crave that closeness. Every breath is full of her. It’s intoxicating.
And then there’s the teasing. My top loves to threaten me with farts—and occasionally, she follows through. In reverse, there’s no escape. The moment is sudden, intimate, and hilariously humiliating. I get the full experience, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Variations to Try
- Knees on the Bed or Floor: Good for moderate weight, easy escape.
- Feet Tucked Under or Crossed Behind: Maximum weight, minimal movement.
- Torso Leaned Forward: Less pressure, more control over timing.
- Torso Leaned Back: Maximum pressure, highly smothering.
Breath Management
If your goal isn’t an immediate tap-out, remember to shift your weight periodically. Tops can roll slightly onto one cheek, rock side to side, or lift gently—without fully dismounting. You can also hover just enough to give a breath or two, then descend again.
Reverse also makes it easy to monitor your bottom. You can glance down at their body, feel their tension or relaxation, and respond accordingly. Use your instincts and agree on signals beforehand.
Conclusion
Reverse facesitting is one of the most powerful tools in the smothering toolbox. For the top, it’s commanding. For the bottom, it’s disorienting, immersive, and addictive. It takes away control and replaces it with pressure, scent, and darkness.
When you sit from behind, you don’t just cover their face—you take away their world. And in doing so, you build something unforgettable in its place.
