"I exercise every morning without fail. One eyelid goes up and the other follows."
-- Pete Postlethwaite

Okay, so I exercise a bit more than that but not much, and my idea of exercise is a night of pure passion in the bedroom, which actually burns off plenty of calories and adds up to a lot more fun than pounding the streets, in my book. When Hubby and I first looked at the Luvseat’s website, what intrigued us was that the seat resembled an exercise bench, so we set about getting ourselves one to try.

It wasn't long before our new toy, well actually it's more like a piece of furniture, arrived at the door. The box wasn't light but that was a good sign as we've discovered it generally means quality. After unpacking the contents we were presented with 4 pieces which quickly and easily slotted together.

Although it was heavy and sturdy, it was easy to move and included the option to bolt it to the floor if we'd desired. We decided against the last option as we soon discovered that the Luv seat is solid enough and stays put no matter how much of a workout we decided to put it through.

As we explored the options that the now assembled Luv seat gave us, our anticipation grew. Basically, what makes this so easy to use and so different from anything else we've tried before is the ease at which it allows a couple to change positions. Both of the Luvseat’s legs work via a set of gas powered springs much like those you get on an office chair, and because both legs have the ability to rise or fall, the possibilities are endless as far as positions go. Add to that the fact that you can easily change the position of the seat back to either recline or be upright with the simple pull of a lever. This gives you an even greater range of positions, all achieved with ease.

If like Hubby and myself, you are equal in all things but height, you realize just how difficult those extra couple of inches can make certain positions. We both love rear entry, for example, but we rarely indulge simply because of the height differences between us make this position uncomfortable. I also enjoy the position where I can put my legs over my lover’s shoulders. Again, not easy to achieve anywhere other than in a hot tub, and we don't own one -(( So, again this position is a rare occurrence. But not any more though, as the Luvseat allowed us to easily achieve these positions with just the adjustment of a couple of levers.

The Luvseat did take some getting used to, but that was part of the fun - learning which lever we had to pull to bring Hubby or I into a certain position. The other great thing was that this was comfortable sex. No matter which of us was on top, neither of us felt uncomfortable, and trust me when I say we got into some strange positions with the Luvseat’s help. Some I wouldn't recommend but were none the less fun to try.

Another advantage the Luvseat has over the bed is that it's easier to stay close to your partner during lovemaking. The seat itself is extended at one end so if Hubby needed a break he could sit down and still stay inside me and at times we would simply sit and rock back and forth before doing some more aerobic activities. Anyone that has read our previous reviews knows that Hubby and I also enjoy watching the action when we are making love. Again, the Luvseat wins over the bed. Because of the different angles we could achieve it was easier to watch ourselves in certain positions and in some cases actually take photographs.

The only negative we could find was that we would have liked to have had somewhere for me to place my feet when we were in certain positions, but I'm sure this is something that the makers are working on.

What's it all add up to?
The makers of the Luvseat apparently put three years of thought into this unique piece of sexual apparatus and it shows. You don't have to be a gymnast or contortionist to achieve different positions and angles anymore because the Luvseat makes things easy, and more importantly, comfortable. Not only did the Luvseat make sex fun, it had the added advantage of making it comfortable and the Luvseat itself was stylish enough that we left it assembled in the bedroom and ready for whenever we felt in the mood.

This is definitely our kind of exercise bench. The only weight we've used near it is our own, and yet we are both more fit and our workouts are a lot of fun. We can't recommend this product enough. While it's not cheap to buy, it is an investment in the future as far as we are concerned. I suffer from arthritis of the knee, and certain positions are extremely difficult for me to maintain for any length of time when we use the bed, but the Luvseat eliminates that problem. The makers claim that the biggest majority of their customers are generally middle aged and although we might not quite be there yet, we are certainly no spring chickens. We can see us using the Luvseat for years to come, and that's not something we can say for many of the toys and products we have reviewed in the past.
