Ultimate shoulder rides

Back to the original topic... I think my ideal rider can be in the wide range of 100 to 160 pounds: the success of the ride mostly depends on how that weight is distributed on my shoulders and presses on my body.

A rider who sits upright with a good posture will use my bone structure more effectively, obtaining in return a longer ride. I am always happy to bend my neck forward to make them comfortable and support such alignment, even though that's hard for my neck over time. On the other hand, a rider who is nervous and hunches forward will feel like a bag of potatoes and turn a ride into an ordeal.

Clothing is important as well. A rider in jeans will feel like pressing all their weight onto a small area of my shoulders. Any softer fabric, like leggings, will work much better. And a female rider with bare legs is the best option of all.

The longest ride I have ever given was in neighbor of 35 - 40 minutes. My rider was a 120 lbs woman, wearing cotton shorts, riding with a confident posture (and a matter-of-fact dominant attitude!)

Speaking only from the riders  point of  view, I prefer to ride wearing short  cotton blend shorts. My bare thighs can  hold onto the carrier's neck better  and the  soft  material  gives enough so that my  bottom  sits  more comfortably on his  shoulders.  I have worn  a  bikini  while sitting on a  guy's shoulders while chicken fighting  when I  was a teenager but  it was only for a short  period  of time  as  most of such  events are.
I  wore tight  nylon shorts, similar to  what  bicyclist  wear on my  second  outing  with my  friend   and I  found it  difficult  to grip  my carrier's neck and  my bottom  was somewhat  compressed which was  harder on  my carriers  shoulders and  neck.
I suppose if a woman  wore a skirt and  being exposed   wasn't  a  concern, it would  be  easier on  the  man she was  riding. But  it would be something of a  problem if she had to sit on the  back of the skirt , tucked under her  bottom  on  his shoulders. Obviously a  tight fitting skirt would be rather impractical.
I must assume  that male riders would  be more limited in  their options. My  friend  wore running shorts while riding his carrier  on  our outings and I  didn't  notice him  having any  problem keeping himself seated on  his  carrier.

servusmulierum:  Thank you  for  the  compliment. But  80%  might be an  exaggeration. Some of the  men here  are  riders  and some are  gay  and while I  have  several  close gay male  friends, I  don't think  feeling my  thighs on their necks or faces  would excite them. Unfortunately, I'm  not really that  light either,  though (130 lbs.)(59 K)is obviously less than most men. My ex-husband  was  quite strong and  muscular but found me rather heavy when I  was  sitting on him  during  the  few times I was  carried on his shoulders.
As I  said  before, I believe  that for  the activity to be real  and  enjoyable , for the rider at least,  the rider  should have control and  obedience in  regard to the  carrier.
I  don't think  that cruelty is  required however  and some  consideration for the  carrier should be part of the activity.  As  such, the physical  realities  of the rider must be  considered in regard  to  clothing.  My  bottom is soft,  but if  compressed  in tight fitting clothing  it is  less  soft,  rather like a  soccer ball is softer when not fully inflated.
A  softer  material that  doesn't compress  my bottom would be easier on my carrier's neck and shoulders  when  I'm  sitting on him.
The  gay friend  that  I  rode with  on  his  two  carriers also  happens to  have  a rather pronounced  bottom, at least for  a  man, and his  upper  body isn't especially  muscular  or heavy so I  imagine that  he was  also rather more  comfortable for  his  carrier as well.
I think that wearing something like  tight  denim jeans or  denim  shorts would add  to  the discomfort of the  carrier  while  you  are sitting on him.  That's why  I  felt that the subject of  fashion  was  worthy of interjecting my  views.

servusmulierum:  The sitting on  the  carrier's shoulders is  the  issue  for  me  because I very  much prefer having my bottom  supported  and  not to  have  to  rest my  weight on my thighs.  That is why I prefer to have  my carrier  sort of looking down  and if  possible to have him  hunched slightly  forward so  that my hips are supported. I don't  mind resting on my thighs if it's  a short  ride   but  as  was the  case  when  riding  with my  friend,  my carrier was  always  trying to  stand  more erect and raising his head  and  it  made me uncomfortable as well  as  feeling insecure.  My  ex  was rude of  course but  he did carry  me for  quite a  long distance  before he  really complained  so I must be fair about that. I wondered if a  hunchbacked carrier  would be  more  comfortable to  sit  on but that  might  be rather  cruel  because I imagine that adding weight  to the spine of such a  person would  cause him  more  pain  which is  not the purpose.

Unless an  old man was  exceptionally strong, I wouldn't really want to  sit on his  shoulders.  If  he wanted to  try to carry  me I  might let him  try on  all fours while I  sat on his  back  so he wouldn't fall under me or at least  not very  far. I don't think  pony riding someone  on  all fours would be practical as an outdoor activity. It would be more about  playing  or something  like that.

But whether I'm  on his shoulders  or  his back, I think  that some  regard  for the  carrier  should be involved and my  bottom  should  sit  more  naturally on him and  not be  compressed  into something  harder that would be  harder on him.

brad's shoulders:  Believe me  when I say  that  I'm not  inclined to  sacrifice  my comfort  to my carrier.   I simply believe that I shouldn't specifically cause him  any more discomfort  than is  required to sit  comfortably on him  while being carried. As such,  my  clothing should not cause chaffing in  his  neck or compress my body to  the point that it is  harder  on his neck and shoulders than  my body  would be without  being clothed at all. Hence the  cotton  blend  shorts were obviously easier on  my carrier  and in  spite of  his poor  behavior, The shorts  I  wore the second time which  were  less  soft and compressed  my  bottom  more  were simply a  bad  choice. 
I have  no doubt that my  weight partially sitting on  your neck  as you carry  me  would  be something of a  problem and I  appreciate  that your  sacrificing you  comfort for  mine is a  requirement of  your  position. However, I would prefer  that you simply communicate that you need  to rest  rather than  risk  injuring yourself  or adjusting me  to a less comfortable  position.
If on  a  long  outdoor ride,  you allowed yourself to become injured  and couldn't  carry me any  longer,  I  would  be forced to  walk back ,possibly alone to find  medical  assistance for  you.

The other  problem  with  you  looking down  is  that you  would have to  trust  the person  sitting on  you to guide  you to  some degree.   This would require that you  trust me  to keep you on the  path  and warn  you of obstacles  in  our  path.  If you  fell or  bumped into something  we  both might be injured.

It would be simpler to just talk to  you.   There is  no  reason to pretend  that you're just a dumb animal who  can't understand  verbal  commands. I could carry a  crop but only to  possibly  direct  you with  taps  or  to get your attention  to something  that  might be urgent  to  convey.

As  for  sitting on  you  during rest periods, I suppose the  position  and  where I  might sit would  depend on your condition  and what rest  might be required.  If  your  back  is sore, I understand that pressure on your  back might  feel  good  or it may  not. Being hunched  over  I might assume that  your spine  could relax with  pressure on your  lower  back in the  all fours  position.   The  duration of the rest period might  be a  factor  as well and my  weight  could  negatively effect you  if I just sat down on  your stomach or chest for  more than a few  minutes. 
If  I  feel that I  must  sit, your  raised  knees  or  thighs  might serve . In that I will  have been  sitting on  your shoulders  and neck,  there would be  no  more  implied intimacy  in  sitting  anywhere else.
The only requirement is that once  I'm seated, I  can  remain so  without   being asked to  change positions or move to  another location  before  you are  rested enough to  continue.  I  found this  very annoying while riding on  my friends loaned carrier. Needless to  say  that  no unnecessary  touching should  occur  or be allowed.   Your  service should be  as  a beast of  burden   regardless  of any other relationship or assumption. Otherwise I would feel  uncomfortable  in  the matter.

@ Audrey b,


I may have asked you this before, but how many times have you gotten on someone's shoulders without their permission?

@sunilrane53 - Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. I travel to a certain extent, but I have never been in India. How about you?

@Audreyb - I would certainly travel nationally for the opportunity to serve you, just as described in this thread.
