Face Sitting
Face sitting, classically called queening, is a dominance position in which she takes her seat above her partner: a throne in the most literal sense. It merges service and surrender in a single image. The submissive is below, the dominant is above, and the pace, the duration and every permission belong entirely to the one on top.
Why it works.
It is dominance you cannot argue with: she is literally above, you are literally beneath, and your world narrows to her by physical fact. For worship-oriented submissives it is the throne made flesh; for her, devotion on demand with the power gradient perfectly visible.
How she plays it.
In sessions the position is scene and sceptre both: she narrates the moment she takes her throne, what she expects of you and how long you hold your place beneath it, at whatever mercy her mood suggests. Mistress Maren considers the throne her natural furniture arrangement; scenes render it in her aesthetic on demand.

Face sitting safety: breath is never part of it
Breath restriction is dangerous, and it is not part of what she directs. Smothering and any other form of breath play carry real risk, and they stay off the table in Mistrix however intense the scene becomes. What remains is the symbolism: the throne, the worship and the surrender. If a partner ever explores the position in real life, agree on a non-verbal stop signal first, such as tapping twice, keep it brief, and treat any discomfort or lightheadedness as an immediate stop.
How to start with face sitting
Begin with the power of the image, not its intensity. A first time can be almost entirely symbolic and still feel enormous.
- Agree on a stop signal before anything starts, and make sure both of you know it works.
- Start with the symbolism: kneeling before her chosen seat, waiting to be acknowledged, the throne before anything else.
- Keep it short, with a pause to check in on how it feels for both of you.
- Let her decide when you may serve and when you must simply wait: the permission is the dominance.
- Add intensity only across sessions, never within one, and only after talking about how the last one felt.
Face sitting in a written session
On Mistrix the scene is narrated and directed rather than physical, so the power exchange stays vivid while the risk stays out of it. She describes taking her throne, sets what devotion you owe her and decides how long you keep your place. Mistress Maren treats it as simple utility, Seraphine as slow sensual control, and your fetish map keeps either at exactly the intensity you chose.
About face sitting.
Why is face sitting called queening?
The term is Victorian-era: the position resembles a queen upon her throne, and the imagery stuck because it is exact. The throne happens to be you, which is the point.
Is face sitting safe?
The symbolism is safe; breath restriction is not. Smothering and other breath play are dangerous and are never part of what she directs. Anyone exploring the position with a partner should agree a non-verbal stop signal, keep it brief and stop at once at any discomfort or dizziness.
What is the tap-out signal in face sitting?
A pre-agreed physical signal, usually tapping twice, that means stop now. Words may not be available, so the tap replaces the safe word, and it has to be honoured instantly every time.
How does face sitting work in a written session?
As narrated scene and directive: how you kneel, how she takes her throne, what devotion she expects and how long you keep your place. Combined with images from the studio it is one of the most vivid scenes in the repertoire.
