Hello once again to our fascinating readers. Never to fail in our promises to delivering to your reading pleasure issues concerning Men’s Health, lifestyle, Sex and related publications every Thursday, we have again the Men’s health post for today.
A fortnight ago, we talked about the penis problem most guys ignore and this week, is the 4 most dangerous sex positions. Let’s go on this fun trip together.
Although in this part of the world, we might not have an active sex life compared to our western counterparts, It is very important to get one thing straight: Injuries during sex are unusual. When they do happen, they tend to happen because of where you’re having sex—not how you’re doing it. This is according to Debby Herbenick, a Ph.D holder and research scientist at Indiana University as well as the author of Great in Bed.
Because your footing or other means of support are unfamiliar, sex in unusual places—say, on your office desk or in the toilet of a plane—are a lot more likely to lead to injuries than a complicated pose, Herbenick says, citing research from the University of Maryland.
That said, there are a few positions that are more likely than others to result in injury. From strained back muscles to the dreaded “broken penis,” here are the four you perhaps want to avoid—or at the very least treat with respect.
The Eager Chef
In this position, you’re standing on your toes while she’s sitting on a counter in front of you. The sex is spontaneous.And it is risky because in most cases of penile fracture—ruptures of the blood-filled tubes in your erection—occur from very vigorous sex, Justin Lehmiller who teaches human sexuality and psychology at Harvard University, explains.
If your partner is sitting on a countertop and—in your enthusiasm—you miss your target either high or low, your unlucky penis has nowhere to go but into her pubic bone or the counter.Also risky: Any standing position that has you on the tips of your toes. A momentary lapse of calf strength could send your manhood crashing into an unforgiving barrier.
The Cowgirl + Lean Back
This position has been talked about most of the time all over the world. Although fun, it is very dangerous.
In this position, you as the guy are on your back, she’s sitting on top of you. Rather than leaning forward with her hands on your chest, she’s leaning waaaay back.It is risky because like an elbow or knee, your erect penis can be “hyperextended” if you put too much or too frequent downward pressure on the shaft, finds a study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Over time, this hyperextension can lead to Peyronie’s disease—a buildup of plaques that causes your rod to bend while erect. That can make sex impossible, the UCSF research suggests. If you feel tugging—or even a small joint like crack near the base of your penis, the angle of your intercourse is a little too extreme. Have her lean forward.
Also risky is any pose that creates the sensation of tugging down on the base of your penis.
The Pogo Stick
In this position, think of it as standing missionary. You’re holding up all her weight, bending backward, and—to facilitate the old in-and-out—you’re flexing your knees and bouncing her up and down on your johnson.Why it’s Risky: Anything acrobatic like this is a lot more likely to lead to back pain or strains for the guy, says Herbenick. Not to mention you could topple if your footing is unsure. The other obvious ouch: The woman’s also at risk of being dropped, Herbenick adds.
The Over-Exuberant Swiss Ball Blitz
Most people particularly enjoy this sex position.
It may add some bounce to your thrusts, but beware: “Penis breaks will be more common in any sex position in which the penis comes fully out of the vagina and then goes back in,” Herbenick stresses. Because the Swiss ball creates an unusual amount of up and down inertia, too much oomph could lead to your schlong slipping out of your girl just before gravity and momentum bring her full weight crashing back down on you.Any pose where she’s in the driver’s seat and the sex is especially vigorous is risky. If she’s on top, you have less control over the in-and-out motion, and so you’re more likely to slip out of her, Herbenick explains.
Now that we are acquainted with these dangerous positions, I’d advice you be very careful when in bed and moreover do not forget the ABCs of sexual education. To the couples and yet-to-be-married especially. Abstinence, Be Faithful, and Condoms.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section as regards this. See you all next week.
