Study: The Most Dangerous Sex Positions According To Doctors - And MISSIONARY Is The Second Most Risky

It may be regarded as one of the most basic and unexotic sex positions but missionary is actually one of the most dangerous, according to doctors. In a new study called the 'relationship between sexual position and severity of penile fracture' from the International Journal of Impotence Research, doctors analysed which sex positions were the most dangerous for men.



The study found that 'doggy style' sex is the most dangerous, with 41 per cent of cases of penile fracture occurring as a result of using the position. Missionary, with the man on top, was in second place, as the cause behind 25 per cent of penile fracture cases, followed by sex with the woman on top in third.



Despite being one of the more popular positions, 'doggy style' can lead to the unsuspecting man hitting a woman's pelvic bone, causing it to potentially snap.

MAILONLINE SEXPERT REVEALS WHY THESE POSITIONS COULD BE DANGEROUS

Tracey Cox told MailOnline: 'I see why this is the most dangerous of the three – especially if it’s done at the end of the bed.



'All it takes if for him to thrust enthusiastically and her to shift position a little and next thing, he’s fallen out and about to hit the hard end of the bed with force.



'Stop it happening to you by taking firm hold of her hips to make sure she stays in position.



THE MOST DANGEROUS POSITIONS AND WHY

'Doggy style': An unsuspecting man could hit a woman's pelvic bone, causing it to potentially snap.

Missionary: According to Tracey Cox, if a couple were having sex on a hard floor, the man could accidentally pull out and thrust hard against a hard floor

'Woman on top': A woman could lean too far forward or too far back and he has a full erection, it can bend the penis into angles that it isn’t supposed to go

'You’re also safer doing this position on the floor rather than with something hard in front of you.'



She understands why the woman being on top can cause complications, explaining: 'If things get lusty and she leans too far forward or too far back and he has a full erection, it can bend the penis into angles that it isn’t supposed to go.'



Tracey was, however, surprised by missionary being included, saying: 'Missionary isn’t a position I’d classify as remotely dangerous so am perplexed as to how it made it on the list.



'But if he accidentally pulled out and thrust hard against a hard floor, it could cause a fracture.'



The researchers who worked on the study included R Barros, L Schulze, A A Ornellas, L Koifman and L A Favorito.



They noted that doggy style sex and missionary could cause equally serious penile fracture, while the woman being on top was the least dangerous.



They said: 'We do not observe differences between the severity of the penile fracture between the "doggy style" and "man-on-top", but the "doggy style" had more severity of penile fracture when compared with "woman-on-top".'



HOW DOES A PENIS FRACTURE?

A penile fracture occurs when the appendage is subject to a sharp, blunt force trauma, which can occur during vigorous intercourse or masturbation.

Since 1924, 1,600 cases have been recorded worldwide - roughly 16 instances per year, the Telegraph previously reported.

Researchers noted that in 50 per cent of cases, a gruesome cracking sound can be heard. Four in five male victims lost their erection.

Those who have already been traumatised from breaking their penis are often left with erectile dysfunction problems and a lifetime of painful sex.



Earlier this year, MailOnline reported on a man from southern China who was left in agony after breaking his penis during sex with his wife. Doctors found that his penis was at an odd angle and was in a swollen shape that made it look like an eggplant. He was diagnosed with a penile fracture after tearing a sponge-like erectile tissue called corpora cavernosa.



Blood flows into corpora cavernosa that runs along the penis and making it hard during an erection. The trick to stopping penile injuries is to thrust quite shallowly, according to MailOnline sex expert Tracey Cox. 'Holding your partner close to you using a grinding rather than thrusting motion will also reduce the risk', she told MailOnline.
