Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world; 10 times more effective than valium [Source: stunning-stuff.com], but to get to this relaxed state some try a more “aggressive” route, which can lead to broken bones and concussions if you’re not in a sex-safe zone. Saftydildo.com gives some fascinating tips to ensure a hazard-free environment: “Move dangerous objects out of the way before you start foreplay, take care of things like lit candles (more than one fire has started that way), take the gun out from under the pillow, drinking glasses away from the bed, or anything sharp you could fall off the bed and land on."

Man. Now where am I going to put my gun?

Injury Prevention Tip: Don’t keep glass or guns near bed.

Cause of Injury: “Interesting” Positions

My boyfriend's dad is an orthopedic surgeon and was operating on a family friend. The girl had hurt her ankle when she clumsily fell down the stairs, or at least that’s what she told him. A few weeks later, she was at a bar with a bunch of friends when she yelled out in her drunken stupor that she had actually ended up in the emergency room after attempting a new sexual position in the shower. -*Christine, 21

Oh the fun of testing out new positions. Sexinfo101.com cautions about the art of shower sex: “Due to the level of difficulty, most couples will only fondle, soap and wash each other in the shower. Sex in the shower involves standing and a wet floor. Be very careful.”

If you’re not willing to risk the shower, still make sure whatever you try, your partner is aware when a position makes you feel uncomfortable. If you are sore, Dr. Seibel recommends assuming a position where you have control. Fine by us.

Injury Prevention Tip: Aqua socks and cowgirl.
