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.
The Foldable Bench for Intimate Activity invention was developed in part to overcome the problems involved in intimate activity between people with different body sizes, as well as provide an apparatus that may be easily concealed when not in use. In broad embodiment, the Foldable Bench for Intimate Activity invention is an apparatus for facilitating intimate activity, which comprises a bench with adjustable height and back support with adjustable angles that may be folded flat when not in use. In more detail, a preferred embodiment of the Foldable Bench for Intimate Activity invention comprises an apparatus for facilitating intimate activity, said apparatus comprising: a foundation, said foundation comprising: a top, a base, and a support structure, said support structure comprising: a scissor mechanism extending between said top and said base, being collapsible, and capable of attaining a plurality of heights; a seat platform, said seat platform being connected to said top of said foundation and being detachable and interchangeable with different sizes seats, said seat platform comprising: a plurality of seat handles, which may receive towels or straps; a back platform, said back platform being connected to said top of said foundation with a hinge and capable of attaining a plurality of angles relative to said top of said foundation, said back platform comprising: a plurality of torso handles, which may receive towels or straps; wherein said apparatus is lightweight for ease of mobility; wherein said apparatus is capable of attaining a variety of positions by adjusting said height of said support structure and/or said angle of said back support platform; and wherein said apparatus is capable of folding substantially flat for storage.
