Who knew?

If you're lucky enough to be getting some action in the bedroom, you might find this article pretty informative. A group of scientists decided to dedicate some time to find out the most dangerous sex position people engage in, and their findings are very interesting. According to the Independent, the research from Brazil has found that lady-on-top position was responsible for half of all penile fractures in three hospitals there. Wait, a penile fracture... A FRACTURED PENIS! Gif scared The scientists explained that because the woman's entire weight lands on the penis, they aren't able to stop when it suffers a ‘wrong way penetration’. They say the harm is usually minor for the girl, but it's pretty major for the guy. No sh*t. Half of the patients said they heard an audible crack and felt pain after a 'wrong way penetration' and most went to hospital within the next five or six hours. Ouch gif
An audible crack. Audible! You're probably terrified at this stage, so it's time to bring you the good news. The scientists also revealed the safest position in the bedroom, it's missionary or man-on-top for people who aren't down with the lingo. Be safe lads.
The study is published in the journal Advances in Urology.
