How do you perform the helicopter sex position?

Like most things in this life, the Helicopter sex position will show you that good things really do come to those who wait.

It'll take some time to get the hang of this position, but once you do you and your partner will be able to enjoy the benefits.

If you do feel like giving it a go, with the consent of your partner, follow these instructions.

  • Get your partner onto all fours, head down and bum upwards.
  • From the opposite angle, head away from the bottom person, get into a plank position
  • Once you're in the correct position, insert your penis or strap-on into the bottom, et voila!

Sounds simple enough right?

Start slow and check in regularly to see how you’re both enjoying it.

You might even want to try it with clothes on first to get a feel for how your bodies will need to operate.

Sex therapist for Peaches and Screams Tatyana Dyachencko told Cosmopolitan in 2021: "The partner that is going to be penetrated needs to get on their hands and knees like you would in the doggy style position. 

"The penetrating partner then gets on their hands and knees, lift their legs over the partner's back, and inserts their penis or dildo into their partner. 

"The partner on top will be in a high plank position supporting themselves either with their hand or elbows."

To thrust, the penetrating partner will need to perform mini push-ups, so Tatyana suggests trying the position lying down at first to keep everything steady but still fun.

This position does require a lot of work and some may not be up for it.

But never fear, there are plenty of other less acrobatic positions that couples can use to spice up their sexy time.
