The Helicopter Sex Position: a Guide to Technique, Benefits, and Safety
Understand the full story behind The Helicopter Sex Position: a Guide to Technique, Benefits, and Safety with our latest coverage.
The risks associated with the helicopter sex position are significant and should not be ignored. Injury is a real possibility if you are not careful.
Common Injuries
The most common injuries include lower back strain for the lifter, pulled hamstrings or hip flexors for the lifted partner, and falls. A fall from this height can result in broken bones or head trauma. The "helicopter" rotation adds centrifugal force, making a fall more dangerous.
Safety Tips
To minimize risk, follow these guidelines. First, always warm up. Do some light stretching for your back, legs, and hips before attempting. Second, use a soft surface. A bed is too soft and unstable. A padded yoga mat on a carpeted floor is ideal. Third, have a spotter. A third person can help stabilize the giving partner's back and catch the receiving partner if they slip. Fourth, set a time limit. Do not hold the position for more than 30-60 seconds at a time, especially on your first try. Fatigue leads to injury.
