Helādola (हेलादोल) refers to “wanton sport”, according to Tantric texts such as the Kubjikāmata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “One should think of one's own (svādhiṣṭhāna) as having six faces and the goddess who is greedy for (its fine) qualities. The mouth (of one) adheres to the mouth (of the other) which is on top of one’s own Liṅga and is full of the juice of the bliss established by the swings of wanton sport (helādola). The cavity of the Liṅga is in the cavity (of the Void of the mouth). One should practice by that Path. (Thus) the circle of the faces (vaktramaṇḍala) of the Self emerges shaped like the creeper of light of a lightning flash. After (this takes place), one should practice regularly (nitya)”.

According to Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā chapter 19: Helādola (‘the swing of wanton sport’) means—whilst churning (mathamāna) (engaged in sexual intercourse) that consists of entering in and (then) coming out (praveśanirgamana).
