World’s most ‘dangerous’ sex position will give you chills!

London: All the men who prefer their woman on top, brace your penises for it is ‘the most dangerous sex position’ in the history, claims a new study.

According to researchers in Brazil, who examined the cases of 44 men who attended 3 hospitals, the woman-on-top position during intercourse was responsible for half of all penile fractures sustained during sex, the Independent reported.

28 fractures were sustained during heterosexual sex, 4 during homosexual sex, 6 after ‘penis manipulation’ and 4 in circumstances, which remain unclear.

The scientists explained it may be due to the woman's entire body weight landing on the penis, and when it suffered a 'wrong way penetration,' while the harm for her was generally minor, it was major in the penis!

Half of the patients also admitted to have heard an audible crack and feeling pain after the incident, and while most of them did go to the hospital within the next 5-6 hours, the authors noted that since the injury was relatively uncommon and could cause embarrassment, most people tend to put off seeking medical treatment.

Meanwhile, the researchers also revealed that the safest sex position was the traditional man-on-top or 'missionary position', as "when the man is controlling the movement, he has better chances of stopping the penetration energy in response to the pain related to the penis harm, minimizing it."

The study is published in the journal Advances in Urology.
