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

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 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.

Here's what your favourite sex position says about you, including the one which proves you’re definitely pretty spicy

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

Is the helicopter sex position safe?

Like anything that happens during spicy times, when performed correctly it's safe and enjoyable for all involved.

Once you get the hang of the Helicopter sex position, you and your partner will be rewarded with a mind-blowing orgasm.

However, this move is not for the weak.

If you don't have the core strength or flexibility needed to do this safely, it may be best to try something else.

You can also alter the Helicopter slightly to an easier version where the bottom person is lying flat, making this bodyweight position less taxing on the top's arms.

While sexperts have suggested that there's another top tip for those couples wanting to give this a try - using lube to ensure a pleasant experience all around.

Others have also stressed the importance of afterplay. Basically, on the come down from the high, take care of one another.
