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.
