'Woman on top' is most dangerous sex position, scientists conclude
By Sarah Knapton, Science Editor

It might have emancipated women from the drudgery of the 'Missionary Position', but it seems that men are paying a painful price for revolution in the bedroom.
"Woman on top" is the most dangerous sex position, according to a new scientific study.

Scientists have found that the position, dubbed "cowgirl", is responsible for half of all penile fractures in the bedroom.
The research also revealed that the "doggy-style" position, with women on all fours, is behind 29 per cent of afflictions.
In contrast, the traditional "man on top" is responsible for just 21 per cent.

Doctors and academics looked at patients attending three A&E units with suspected "penile fractures" over a 13 year period.
Half of them reported hearing a crack before experiencing pain, with some also suffering swelling.
Their average age was 34 and some of the men waited up to six hours before seeking medical help.

The research concluded: "Our study supports the fact that sexual intercourse with 'woman on top' is the potentially riskiest sexual position related to penile fracture.
"Our hypothesis is that when woman is on top she usually controls the movement with her entire body weight landing on the erect penis, not being able to interrupt it when the penis suffers a wrong way penetration, because the harm is usually minor in woman with no pain but major in the penis.

"On the contrary, 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 found that 44 men had attended hospital, with 42 having "the condition confirmed after clinical, radiological and surgical evaluation".
Of these, 28 were injured in heterosexual romps, four during homosexual intercourse, six as a result of "penis manipulation" and four in circumstances which were "unclear".

The study, published in the Advances in Urology journal, reads: "Half of patients (50 per cent) presented with the classical triad of an audible crack followed by pain.

For 'circumstances which were "unclear"', read 'vicar with a vacuum-cleaner'.

"Penile fracture". Sweet Jesu save me.

I'm not surprised.
There are some bloody big girls out there, and a lot of them aren't trained.

Women never used to expect an orgasm, it was their job to fake it. So once the man had done his business, it was time for bye byes.

Now they expect several. The dick isn't designed for that sort of work.

Thought I'd already covered this base with my NSFW thread about sex-related ER admissions ...

"Penile fracture". Sweet Jesu save me.

OMG! Can they splint it?

[laklak]

If your girlfriend is on top when your wife walks in it's certainly dangerous. Helluva motherfucking dangerous, TBH.

I thought it was called the reverse missionary...

[laklak]

Makes sense in Oz. If she falls up to the ceiling you'll have a cushion.

The safest position is, obviously, to sleep in separate rooms, wearing your underwear at all times. This is known as the "Mormon missionary position."

Wear a cast iron condom - better safe than sorry.

The only physical injury to my penis occurred while fucking in the missionary position, and it looked nothing like this:

You make them sound like pet dogs.

And are you speaking from experience?
