If you’re one of those types who complains about the classic missionary position, you might also be a huge risk taker and not even know it.

An important study out of Brazil has cited missionary as the least dangerous of all the sexual positions when it comes to the dreaded “penile fracture,” perhaps the most painful and humiliating of all bedroom injuries. The most dangerous? Another staple: woman on top, i.e., “Cowgirl.”

We’ll let the experts explain:


“Scientists say this may be because the woman controls the penis with her entire body weight landing on it and is unable to interrupt it when it suffers a ‘wrong way penetration’. The harm is usually minor for her and with no pain – but major in the penis.”

50 percent of the men who reported to the hospital with a cracked cock said that they actually heard it break, and felt pain immediately after. So gentlemen, next time your lady wants to try something new and exciting in the bedroom, just say no. The indignity of this potential injury is simply too great.
