Let me start with a phrase and check how you would react.
Penis fracture.
Ouch, right? Just the thought of any injury to your manhood would make you wince and flinch. The awful reality is those sex injuries are more common than you think, and if you think it’s never going to happen to you, then these might change your mind.
Surveys suggest that 6 out of 10 individuals have sustained some form of injury while having sex, and men are twice more likely to be injured during sex.
Imagine yourself having the hottest, most passionate sex you’ve ever had, and then without warning, she puts all of her weight on you and breaks your penis. Let me tell you now, no level of imagination could even come close to how painful it is if it happens to you. Penis fracture is a real thing, and it will put your sex life out of commission until it fully heals.
In this article, we’ll talk about the most common sex injuries that could happen to you, and what you can do to avoid them.
Some of you may not be aware, but you increase your injury risk while having sex. When you’re in the throes of passion, the last thing you’d think about is the accidents that could happen to you. The natural instinct that protects you from injuries is put on mute, and your mind and body become focused on giving and receiving sexual pleasure. That’s why you never see guys flinch while having sex. It’s not until they feel something unpleasant that jolts them back into reality.
During sex, your pain threshold increases. This attribute is commonly observed in women during sex, but men also have a higher pain threshold while having sex. There would be times when you feel pain and soreness during sex, but you can best bet that it would feel a lot worse after.
Sexual stimulation interprets pain signals differently, which is why some people find it pleasurable to experience pain; because for some people, the brain interprets intense stimuli to be pleasurable.
Probably the worst injury a man can get during sex is a penile fracture – a painful injury that makes the penis bruise and swell for weeks, and even months. The term “penis fracture” is actually a misnomer, since the penis doesn’t have bones. It’s all made up of elastic penile tissue, which could bend, stretch, and when it reaches its limits, it could rupture.
The penis gets fully erect when the internal pressure forces the elastic penile tissue to stretch outwards, like a balloon. When erect, the penis is only supported by muscle and tissue, which could be bent or twisted with the right pressure. Most penile fracture injuries are caused when a sudden outward force forces the penis to bend. When this happens, the pressure forces the penile tissue to break, typically on the shaft, resulting in a painful injury that takes a long time to heal.
There’s no real way to avoid penis fractures other than to take control during sex. Most penis injuries are caused by sexual partners who misjudged their position during sex. Penis fracture injuries are rare, but you shouldn’t be too lax about it.
