Do you keep a mirror by your bed for having sex near it? I keep thinking this sounds really fun and kinky, but we haven't gotten around to buying a mirror for near the bed. So, the poll basically asks if you have a mirror, if you use that mirror for having sex, and if you'd want to try having sex in front of a mirror. Would love any type of feedback you have as well. I keep thinking about trying it, but I feel like hanging it permanently on the wall would be a little obvious for guests.

I have been trying to talk the wife into some mirrors on the ceiling since we first got together. Sadly she has not gone for it yet.

We do have a mirror by the bed, but it's not there because of sex and so it's not really at a good angle to catch anything good. We used to have headboard with a built in mirror, and also a dresser that had a huge mirror in the center and that was pretty hot. But, as it is right now we don't really have one that would be good to use for watching ourselves during sex. Now, of course, I really really want one again because I'm remembering how fun it was to watch ourselves.

How about a large free standing dressing mirror? I'm not sure it's big enough for what you have in mind, but you could move it into place when you want, and they look nice as a piece of bedroom furniture on their own. Or maybe even a three panel screen with mirrors on one side?

A few times we have gotten to have sex in front of a mirror, and we both enjoyed it. Currently our bedroom mirror is behind a door, so it isn't really effective for sex. But once we do get our playroom, we both want to have a few mirrors around the room.

I always try to have something reflective by the side of the bed, just to get a different view of the fun.

I don't know if I could handle this but am always up for the challenge.

Look at you, mister practical! Great advice though.

We used to have our bed set up so that we could see ourselves in the mirror, but in our current place, the mirrors and beds aren't aligned for sex-watching. I like doing stuff in front of the mirror, though, and I really like watching my partner's expressions when I do things to him and he doesn't know I'm looking. So hot!

Can you tell I've thought about this before? Personally, I love the idea of having sex in an old rocking chair with a dressing mirror in front to watch.

I kinda like this idea. Now I have to see if the local Wal-Mart has a nice, huge mirror.

Maybe get two and tell people it's to balance the feng shui. Yeah, that's it!

We don't currently have a mirror by the bed, but I saw a HUGE one at the furniture store awhile back and fell in love thinking about watching the two of us have sex. It is one of those stand up dressing room mirrors that has an easel back to it. I showed my husband the one I want. I was a bit surprised that he didn't buy it on the spot, but until we get rid of the huge dresser in our room we really don't have the room for the mirror.

Can't wait!

Our closet doors are two giant mirrors, and right next to the bed. So if the doors are shut, we can see everything. It obviously wasn't planned, but we've used it to watch ourselves having sex occasionally.

My dresser is right by the bed and there is a very large mirror on it. But we also have a long skinny mirror that hangs on the closet door, and can be removed. We have set it up horizontally, in several places around the house, and or bed, for a little visual during sex.

Cuz yanno.....Men are very visual. LOL!

My ex and I had a mirror that we put at the foot of our bed. We were in college and classy like that. It was AWESOME. When I move in with my current boyfriend, we're definitely gettine one.

I don't have one but would love to get one. Not sure where it would fit though. I've used the large ones in the bathroom before and it was quite fun!

We have a huge mirror over our vanity that is across from the foot of the bed...and yes we love it!

I guess I'm the exception here...I do not want to see what I look like having sex. I did one time and it totally creeped me out and turned me off. Of course, I also dislike watching Porn because I end up critiquing the technique, acting, and realism.

We have a large mirror on our dresser that captures the bed perfectly. Although, that's not usually where we have sex, but when we do it's kind of fun to watch ourselves

We have a dresser with a mirror directly across from the bed. Getting fucked from behind and still being able to look in my husband's eyes is pretty damn hot.

"no really mom, that mirror is on the ceiling so I can watch.. uh.. how is the tea?"

Awesome.

I don't. I have a dresser mirror but it is WAY higher than the bed so it is useless for that. And really I would probably catch my weird O faces too often and freak myself out

I have 3 mirrors in my bedroom. I don't ever look at them or really even think about them when I'm having sex. My guy really doesn't either. I have all the mirrors to make sure my outfits look good from all angles (sort of like the mirrors in dressing rooms in clothing stores)

I don't have a mirror by the bed but would like it. I'm a very visual person so it definitely enhances things if I can see the action. One day when we have our sex room we'll have a bunch of mirrors

We have sliding mirrored doors on our closet, which is right next to the side of our bed. So we have a HUGE mirror that is almost floor-to-ceiling and several feet wide (almost the entire length of the bed and taking up almost an entire wall). It is very cool to have and I highly recommend it. I also think it would be neat to have a mirror on the ceiling, too, though I'd worry about it falling on us!

It would be distracting for me. I don't like visual interference.

Exactly the same!

I have a dresser with a large mirror over it that is facing my bed. We don't use it while having sex, though. I'm not really comfortable with how I look, so looking at myself having sex would probably upset me.
