You can start lifting with your arms around her middle, but as soon as you feel your partner's arms and legs koala around your neck and waist, move one hand under her thigh. Then, slowly, so she has time to adjust her weight, move your other hand under her other thigh. You should feel your arms working.

Read More »I’ve spent a disproportionate amount of my romantic career being hoisted into the air. Every man I’ve ever dated has at some point attempted to do the kiss from The Notebook with me. I can usually tell when it’s about to happen: My partner pauses mid-makeout. He gets a primal glint in his eye. Then, suddenly, his arms close tightly around the middle of my back, compressing my lungs and causing me to release an unflattering, guttural “aghhhhh.” I know from movies that I’m supposed to wrap my legs around his torso like a koala climbing a eucalyptus, but as soon as my feet leave the ground, my body begins to slide down his, slowed only by the cruel friction of skin against skin. I hang on to his neck and attempt a perfunctory makeout. In theory, I like being picked up. (Many women do not like being picked up, so when in doubt—and you should always be a little bit in doubt—ask.) I don’t mean I like being thrown over a man’s shoulder and carried against my will from one place to another while I try to keep my skirt down. Never do that. But as a dramatic element of foreplay, I approve. There’s romance in being literally swept off your feet, and when done correctly, it makes one feel very dainty. But, much like shower sex, it is rarely done correctly. When I polled friends about this, one described being lifted up under her armpits like a baby. Another recalled a boyfriend dropping her on his Ikea pallet bed with a sensual flourish, dislodging the bed’s slats and sending her crashing to the floor. “It’s strange, because I’ll be with a man who can bench 180, and he still can’t pick me up,” a notably tiny friend mused. Then she looked haunted: “There’s always the humiliation as you start to slide down.” Women are unwieldy. Even if you can easily lift a woman’s weight in a gym, you’ll have a tougher time lifting that weight when it’s wiggling around, let alone competently making out with that weight while lifting it. Nothing makes me feel more self-conscious than the look of concern that flickers across a man’s face when, having picked me up, he realizes that I am denser than I appear. The problem is gravity, and the solution is simple: Use your manly arms to hold her up by her thighs. You’re not giving your partner a hug—you’re giving her a backwards piggyback ride. I know it looks passionate and sexy in movies when a man, holding a woman around her waist, lifts her off the ground. It looks passionate and sexy because that woman’s arms, legs, and core are fully engaged. That's not romance, it's cross-training.

Read More »In practice, when you pick someone up, your only objective is to swiftly and firmly support her from below. You can start lifting with your arms around her middle, but as soon as you feel your partner’s arms and legs koala around your neck and waist, move one hand under her thigh. Then, slowly, so she has time to adjust her weight, move your other hand under her other thigh. You should feel your arms working. She should not be working at all. If your partner does not immediately wrap her legs around you in the cinematic manner, look around for something waist-height that she can balance her weight on. A desk or a kitchen counter are both safe options. The stove is not!!!!!! If you’re not sure you can elegantly lift someone, don’t try it. The only thing worse than a macho show of strength is a failed macho show of strength. Nobody is going to tell their friends about how “the sex would have been great if he had just picked me up.” But they will definitely tell their friends about how they ended up in the ER at 2 a.m. because you watched The Notebook on a plane and thought you’d give it a go.
