ENJOYING THE RIDE –
April 11, 2025 – But medics have warned one sex position could be responsible for up to half of all penile fractures, a serious eye-watering injury that can leave men in agony. According to surgeon Dr Karan Raj the ‘reverse cowgirl position’ — when the woman is on top and faces away from her partner — presents the biggest risk.
Although the penis doesn’t contain any bones, the internal connective tissue which fills with blood during an erection can fracture when the appendage is subject to sharp, blunt force.
Such an event is usually accompanied by a distinct cracking, popping or snapping sound and afterwards resembles an ‘aubergine’ turning purple and swollen.
In a TikTok clip shared with his 5.3million followers Dr Raj said: ‘If there is any erratic thrusting or if the movements of the two parties are not in sync, the male [penis] could slip out and be crushed by the female pubic bone.
