Sex therapists and fitness experts generally advise caution with acrobatic sex positions. Dr. Emily Morse, a sexologist, often says that the best sex positions are the ones where both partners feel safe and comfortable. "The helicopter position is a party trick, not a staple," she notes. "It can be fun for a special occasion, but it should never be the main event if it causes pain or anxiety."
From a fitness perspective, personal trainer John Smith explains, "The lifter needs to have a strong posterior chain. Deadlifts and squats are better preparation than just trying to lift your partner cold. If your back rounds during the lift, you are asking for an injury."
