The 6 Activities That Could Injure You While Getting Frisky Might Surprise You
Sex is a dangerous thing. While people undoubtedly enjoy doing it, we all know horror stories about the guy who got sent to the ER because he broke his penis, or the woman who was horrified to find that something was stuck inside her. And what about the people who have heart attacks mid-coitus – there's always lots of stories about them. Also, there's all the STIs (which, by the way, are on the rise) so its always best to approach sex with a healthy bit of caution and lube.
Recently, one intrepid team of researchers decided to take a deep, long and throbbing scientific look at just how dangerous sex is.
They classified the most dangerous sexual activities in their lengthily-titled paper “Mechanisms Predisposing Penile Fracture and Long-Term Outcomes on Erectile and Voiding Functions.”
Phew, that’s a mouthful!
Why is oral sex dangerous, you ask? Well, according to IFLScience, which wrote an entire article on the subject, “whether it’s fellatio or cunnilingus, the risk of inadvertent injury is insignificant.”
What they’re saying is, it’s not actually engaging in oral sex that’ll hurt you…
Autofellatio, according to the Urban Dictionary (since Merriam-Webster is too high-brow to touch this stuff) is “a form of male masturbation” in which the man bends over to, well, you can imagine.
Ouch!
What we’re concerned with is the danger factor. Autofellatio can literally crack your spine, which just goes to show – unless you’re a Cirque du Soleil contortionist, you should probably leave the contorting to the licensed professionals. Or, you know, go out and buy a sex toy like everyone else.
There’s all sorts of sex toys with all sorts of handy handles, hooks, gadgets, devices and vibratory functions, so we’re not surprised it’s high on the list. Playing with any kinds of toys can be very dangerous – just look at how many kids’ toys are recalled each year.
