WITH Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you might be looking to spice things up with your significant other. 

But before you attempt a series of back-bending moves, you should be aware of the risks.

According to the experts, you should err on the side of caution when it comes to any position that has you standing, or those involving hyperextension of the back. 

Speaking to Fabulous, Ness Cooper a sexpert at TheSexConsultant, said: “Some bodies are extra stiff or bendy, and avoiding positions that lead to extreme back hyperextension should be avoided due to the possible chance of injuries. 

“This can be tricky with the natural contortions the body goes into during pleasurable moments, so bolstering up with sex position pillows or even mobility pillows can help avoid throwing out your back in the throes of passion. 

“Also if you or your partner are naturally flexible, it may not be a good idea to always take advantage of this flexibility during sex, as hypermobility can lead to flare-ups when purposely put into position others would struggle with.

“If exploring standing sex and using something to support one of you, make sure the item of support is stable. Items that may seem safe, can still come loose leading to an accident. The bathroom sink may sound like a good idea for example, but these can easily come away from the wall.”

Here, Ness and Ruby Payne, resident sex expert at UberKinky, share the sex positions you should avoid if you want to avoid injury.

The Standing Split

For the standing split, you and your partner need to stand facing one another

For the standing split, you and your partner need to stand facing one another. The receiver needs to be balanced on one leg, whilst the other is lifted to rest on the giver’s shoulder.

“It’s a no from me because you’ll need incredible levels of flexibility and strength to get into this position and hold it for any length of time,” Ruby said. 

“Standing positions very rarely work out as your pelvises would need to be at the exact same height. The receiver’s centre of gravity will be thrown off too, so they’re more likely to topple over and get injured.”

Handstand positions 

We know it’s hard to imagine, but handstand moves can be tempting for some.

They are a big challenge though and Ness says they “aren’t really sex positions to do for extended periods of time.”

She explained: “Not only can it be very hard to stabilise your body in this position that can lead to injury, being upside down can alter your blood pressure leading to dizziness and even fainting.”

The Mermaid 

If you’re looking to add a new one to your secret bag of tricks, perhaps consider skipping the mermaid if you want to avoid injury.

This is where the person being penetrated is on top, but unlike cowgirl, the legs are lifted up in a V-position. 

Ness said: “V-ups require a lot of core and pelvic floor control. It’s easy to fall off in this position, which may result in injury.”

The Butter Churner

Made famous by the 2021 series of Love Island, the butter churner “belongs in no one’s sexual repertoire,” Ruby said. 

“It requires the receiver to lie on their back and then lift their legs up and behind their head while the giver squats and penetrates from above,” she explained.

“It’s great at getting you off, but my god, at what cost? The penis doesn’t (and shouldn’t) bend that way and it also requires great thigh strength from the giver.”

Ruby says the move requires an incredible amount of flexibility from the receiver too.

“Holding the position for long periods of time will put strain on their neck and back, which could cause injury,” she warned.

The Wheelbarrow

Unless you’ve got great upper body strength, you should probably stay clear of The Wheelbarrow

Remember doing these when you were a kid? Well, this is the more x-rated version.

But Ruby warned, unless you’ve got great upper body strength, you should probably stay clear. 

“The giver picks the receiver up by the pelvis so their legs are on either side (remember to grip with the thighs) – the receiver’s arms will be quivering in no time, and certainly not in a good way.

“Plus, when you’ve reached the point of resorting to positions like ‘the wheelbarrow’, you’re probably doing it for the bragging rights – bring back intimacy.”

The Helicopter 

The Helicopter is one of the riskier sex positions

If the helicopter position is one you’ve considered trying, Ness warns it’s definitely “one of the more riskier sex positions.”

She said: “The penetrating partner uses their penis to swivel around on whilst on top of their partner.

“This position may result in loss of balance or worse can result in a penis fracture.”

The Waterfall 

The words blissful and beautiful might come to mind when you first think of a waterfall. 

But when it comes to trying it in the sack there’s a little less bliss and a lot more backache. 

“This position leads to hyperextending the back and having your head upside-down,” Ness explained.

“It can play havoc on blood pressure and upset the spine and lead to injuries. It can be made safer by using pillows, a bed or a sofa as support.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 258

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
