This news might not be a pleasing one for ladies that love to be in control in the bedroom. This position saved couples from the missionary but it’s been revealed to be a dangerous position.

According to a study, the “woman-on-top” or “cowgirl” position has been revealed as the most dangerous sex position.

It seems men are paying the price to give the woman control in the “woman-on-top” position because this position is responsible for half of all penile fractures in the bedroom.

The “man-on-top” or missionary seems to be the safest position as it’s responsible for just 21% of penile fractures while the famous “doggy-style” position, with women on all fours, is responsible for 29%.

To come up with these facts, doctors looked at patients attending three emergency units in Campinas, a city of three million people in Brazil, with suspected penile fractures over 13 years.

The research concluded: “Our study supports the fact that during sexual intercourse the woman on top is the riskiest sexual position related to penile fracture.

“When the man is controlling the movement, he has better chances of stopping the penetration energy in response to the pain related to the penis harm, minimising it.”

The study is published in the journal Advances in Urology.
