You Won't Belive What Some The Most Dangerous Sex Positions Are

The Best Positions You Try Tonight

Safe sex isn't just about protecting yourself from STDs or preventing an unwanted pregnancy. Even with all the precautions related to those mistakes, sex can still be dangerous. At least, it can be if you're using one of these ten sex positions. From broken penises to urinary tract infections, these moves are risky business.

Missionary Position

Just when you thought you were safe with the most bland sex position of all time...The missionary position can cause deep vaginal abrasions and urinary tract infections for the woman below, according to sex therapist Dr. Kat Van Kirk.

Cowgirl Position

You don't want to break your penis, do you? Then avoid the girl-on-top cowgirl sex position, which accounts for half of all reported penile fractures, according to The Telegraph.

Reverse Cowgirl

Just turning her around so she faces away from you isn't going to solve any problems. In fact, the reverse cowgirl can be even worse than the standard cowgirl if she's being vigorous.

Breast Positions

Before you start yearning to give her a "pearl necklace," beware. This sex position also accounts for many of the reported penile fractures—and you don't want that.

Doggy Style

Speaking of broken penises, your all-time favorite sex position accounts for 29% of all cases, according to The Telegraph. Is it really worth the chance of a terribly painful penis injury?

Countertop Sex

As romantic as it can seem to lift her up onto the counter in between stirring spaghetti sauce, countertop sex isn't always so nice. Once you accidentally bang your junk on the edge of the counter, you'll avoid this position like the plague.

Oral Sex

Probably the grossest entry on this list is oral sex, not because of the act itself but more for the bad things that can happen. Apparently people have gotten chlamydia in their eyes from wily ejaculation. Yuck.

Standing Missionary

Another penis-breaker is the standing missionary position. All the bouncing can put a strain on your package in addition to your legs and knees. Plus, she won't exactly feel good if you drop her.

Masturbation

Sometimes it isn't your partner that's the problem--sometimes it's you. If you're getting adventurous during masturbation, you could end up hurting yourself. Take it easy.

Anything Vigorous

Relax, guys. Slow and steady wins the race--and is the safest thing you can do in bed. The more vigorous you get, the bigger the chance of injury, according to Dr. Van Kirk.
