Most Dangerous Sex Positions
Standing Straddle

Risks for him: "A real chance of causing lower back strain, and pulled neck and arm muscles, plus a damaged manhood if it slips out."
Safety Tip: "Make sure the man is strong enough to support his lover's weight and she should lean against a wall or furniture for support."

Risks for her: "Fast thrusting may cause friction, leading to soreness. It can also put a strain on the woman's back if he puts his full weight on her."
Risks for him: "The man is also susceptible to injury if the action is too fast and his manhood slips out and hits her pubic area."
Safety Tip: "Go slow and use a firm mattress."
