==Components== thumb|upright=0.8|Facesitting, Heinrich Lossow (1843–1897) Facesitting is common among dominant and submissive individuals, for demonstrating superiority and for sexual gratification. The full-weight body-pressure, smothering, moisture, body odors, and darkness can be perceived as powerful sexual attractions or compulsions. The person sat upon may be in bondage, sexually submissive, or simply held down by the body-weight of the other person. In some cases, the submissive will consume the dominant's bodily wastes or be subjected to the dominant's flatulence. While the dominant is sitting on the submissive, the submissive might also lick their anus. In facesitting, the dominant may defecate on the submissive's face. Sometimes, the dominant will flatulate on the submissive, which is often perceived as a sexual attraction.
