PRACTICING SAFE SEX WITH THE MOST DANGEROUS SEXUAL POSITION
There are many words to describe sex. Fun, hot, kinky, taboo. These are just a few. But dangerous? That's not on my to-do list. You might think the most dangerous sex position would include someone lifting their partner up in the air or maybe getting frisky in a moving car, but this position is more common than you think.
The most dangerous sex position is... reverse cowgirl.
Not what you expected, was it? Turns out this position is well-known for causing penile fractures (just remember "New Girl" and Schmidt's unfortunate injury). How do we know? A doctor went viral on TikTok claiming the position is responsible for half of all penile fractures. We have some data to back up the claim. Yes, scientists have researched it .
But it's also an extremely popular position since a woman on top is the best position for achieving orgasm . That extra access for clitoral stimulation and a different angle for the G-spot can put partners in a position that's more risky than risky .
How can this happen?
While uncommon, this position does allow for the possibility of penile trauma. This can occur with sudden or awkward movements during intercourse. There are no bones in the male genitals (despite the name erection), but a penile fracture actually involves a tear that can occur when the penis protrudes and is then crushed by the partner's pelvis.
The result is that the penis may begin to resemble the actual eggplant emoji, purple and swollen. Other signs of fracture include pain, crunching, and loss of erection. Ouch. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a healthcare provider. If left untreated, it could lead to a permanent curvature or erectile dysfunction.
How to keep your man safe and your bed rocking
USE A LUBRICANT
First of all, a lubricant is always a plus during sex. It reduces friction and increases the fun. In this case, it can also reduce the risk of injury. There are no negative aspects; there are only positive aspects to adding lubricant. We recommend a water-based lubricant that is ideal for daily use.
SLOWER
It's easy to get caught up in the moment. But avoid going fast and furious with this dangerous sex position. Slow down and get into the rhythm. Let the partner on the bottom take control with slow, controlled movements.
CREATE A SAFE WORD
Communication is key in the bedroom. Use a safe word so your partner knows when to stop if the other person feels uncomfortable or is in pain. Better yet, use the Red, Yellow, Green method . If your partner says "red," it means you stop immediately. If they use "yellow," it means be careful. "Green" means keep going. This is a great way to make sure everyone is having fun.
Go ride them, cowgirl!
Now that you know the dangers, it's time to move into unknown (or well-known) territory. Hop in that chair and have fun on your adventures!
