Yes, it is really impressive, to see a woman liftng someone from a cradle position overhead ! But I only remember a few pictures of a lift like that.

Cradle > Overhead
 

yes it's true, Overhead lift from a cradle position will be really more impressive.

I don't remember seeing an Overhead Lift which starts with a cradle !! Until now, all the Overhead lifts made by women I have seeing begin by "Over Shoulder" lift followed then by the press Overhead ...

However I believe that there are some strong women who could lifting men from a cradle position to Overhead easily, like Amber DeLuca or Jennifer Kennedy and perhaps other female athletes.

That is the problem though the few women capable of effortless harder lifts often are giants, not womanly, or at least part of them is too butch to be sexy, for the typical male at least I know there's not just a few into butch women. Or the liftee is so puny that it looks like an underage lift.

I like cradles. Front piggybacks and over-the-shoulder lifts are great too. The first one is an alternative name for straddles, which can be very sexy. The lifts are even better when they're forced.

I like it when an ots is converted into a cradle too.

The conversions are good. They're great when they're part of a forced lift of any kind where the lifter just plays with the liftee by lifting her in all kinds of ways. It helps when the helpless liftee kicks her feet during a forced carry. Cradles and over-the-shoulders are the best for this.

Piggyback ride and over the shoulder carry are the best for me.front lift is cool too.

Does it turn you on as well seeing the liftee visibly upset? Girls being scared/feeling very vulnerable or crying in itself does something to me.

It depends on the scenario. I don't like to see distressed females in real life. It's okay if they're in a movie or TV show. Say that a female spy kidnaps a woman as part of a plot. She's a lot bigger and stronger than the kidnapped woman. She just lifts the helpless woman over one shoulder before she carries her to a waiting van. Of course, the liftee cries out as she kicks her feet in a helpless manner. By the way, why isn't this thread in the lifting board?

Yep it's a fantasy thing, not healthy wanting real suffering is it? My guess is this thread is for junior members more than anyone else to get things going for them.
