2. Description of the Related Art

The broad concept of benches is known. However, most of these inventions are simple platforms for sitting or lying down.


Folding or collapsible benches are also known. However, these inventions usually do not facilitate additional positions, may not be lightweight for easy portability, and may not provide sufficient support for intimate activity when unfolded.


Benches with adjustable height are also known. However, these inventions usually do not accommodate additional positions and may not provide sufficient support for intimate activity.


Also, benches with adjustable backrests are known. However, these inventions are not usually suitably reinforced to allow for intimate activity.


Additionally, benches with handles and/or hooks are known. However, these inventions are not usually well tailored to support accessories for intimate activity, such as towels or straps.


Further, benches with scissor mechanisms are also known. However, these inventions are not usually braced sufficiently to handle intimate activity.


Moreover, benches for intimate activity are also known. However, theses inventions are usually heavy and cumbersome and not capable of folding flat for convenient storage, such as under a bed or couch, and do not protect the privacy of the users.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Intimate activity in human relationships often involves sexual intercourse, which may include different positions and physical arrangements for the participants; however, difficulties may arise if the parties have different sized bodies or heights or are unable to maintain comfortable positions due to their surroundings during the activity. For instance, available furniture, such as beds or chairs, may not accommodate natural positions or facilitate comfortable posture during sexual activity. Furthermore, some furniture may not be substantial enough to endure the motions and forces associated with intimate activity. In addition, furniture designed to facilitate intimate activity must be easily concealed when not in use to preserve the privacy of its users. To be easily concealed, such furniture for intimate activity must be lightweight for easy portability while being strong enough to withstand the forces and motions associated with intimate activities. Thus, there is a need for furniture, which can support people with a wide variety of body forms during intimate activity, which is capable of attaining different heights and angles in order to accommodate different body sizes in various positions, and which may be easily concealed when not in use in order to protect the privacy of its users.
