Experts issue warning for popular sex position that escort says is the most requested by men
Key Points:
- A study involving over 1,000 participants from the US and Europe found that more than 60% of people have sustained injuries during sex, with common issues including penile fractures, vaginal or anal tears, and muscle strains.
- Rough sex was the leading cause of injuries for both men (33%) and women (37%), while overexertion also contributed significantly to injuries.
- Certain sex positions carry higher risks: doggy style caused the most injuries for women (20%), missionary was the most common cause of injuries for men (19%), and reverse cowgirl was linked to 25% of penile fractures.
- Experts suggest that missionary position injuries often result from joint strain and recommend using cushions or rolled towels for support to reduce discomfort and prevent injury.
- Escort Lilith Lodge highlighted that erectile dysfunction is a common but often stigmatized issue among men, encouraging those affected to seek medical advice rather than ignore the problem.
