Forniphilia
Forniphilia is a type of bondage and sexual objectification in which a person's body is incorporated into a chair, table, cabinet or other piece of furniture. Allen Jones' sculptures Hat Stand and Table Sculpture, made in 1969, which show semi-naked women in the roles of furniture, is a classic example of the depiction of forniphilia as art. The House of Gord website often uses a more extreme form of forniphilia in its bondage. Gord has claimed to own the copyright on the term. Forniphilia was depicted on the TV show CSI:NY episode "Hush" (without permission for use of the term).
Forniphilia is a stringent form of bondage because the subject is usually tightly bound and expected to stay immobile for an indefinite period of time. They are often gagged and/or placed in a position where there is a danger of being smothered. It is imperative that someone who puts anyone in such peril check their condition every few minutes. Positional asphyxia is a danger.
The term is derived from;
- forni- f. Old French furnir f. Roman, fornire; to furnish
