A sex swing is a piece of load-bearing equipment, and the part that decides whether it is
safe is not the swing — it is the mount. A ceiling joist, a door frame and a freestanding stand
fail in different ways, so the first question is always where the weight goes.
The guides below are grouped in the order people actually need them: choosing the swing,
putting it up, then living with it. If you only read one, read the one on ceiling joists before
you buy anything.
