Avoid Getting Hurt: Realistic Sex Injuries to Be Wary Of
Enjoyable as your sex life can be, there is always the risk of injuring yourself throughout the experience. From the simplest carpet burn to what could be a back injury in need of a physical therapist, here are the most common sex injuries and what to do in case any happens.
Wear and Tear
Be it to the vagina, the penis, or the anal opening, tears might happen if you are playing too rough in the bedroom. Also, hurrying into a complex position can do the same. Tears are painful and take time to heal, so if faced with this issue, visit a doctor and rest until you're better.
A Broken Penis
It almost sounds like a myth that once happened to a single person, but a broken penis is a reality of careless bedroom play. Bending the penis too hard, stroking it too rapidly, or having it slip when thrusting can all cause a fracture in the organ. Since it is boneless, the pain typically comes from one or the two cylinders inside the penis being ruptured. A popping sound, uncommon swelling, and severe pain are indicators of this problem and require medical handling.
Pulled Muscles
If you are warmed up enough or st5imualted enough before you get your serious sexy game on, you risk pulling a muscle anywhere in the body. From your neck to your back, waist, knees, and especially the groin area, muscles can spasm and twitch when you are forcing them too much. The pain should be done in a couple of days. If it doesn't seem immediate medical attention.
Toys and Props
As good and efficient as sex toys may be, there is still lots of room for caution when using them. A misplaced, too-deep placed or slippery toy can cause various physical internal problems - smaller and more severe ones. Avoid bigger instances and use lube generously. And be extra careful with odd-shaped toys - they tend to get stuck.
Allergies and Skin Supersensitivity
Even without knowing it, you might be allergic to a lubricant you are using, a certain toy material, the sheet fabric, or else. Allergies tend to happen and sometimes, it might be the other person's body fluids that make you itchy and irritated. If you notice an allergy occurring, find the culprit and seek medical care in case the symptoms worsen.
UTIs and STDs
An important reason to get yourself checked out health-wise is the possible risk of otherwise contracting a UTI or even an STD. Practicing safe sex is paramount, especially in this day and age where our health is exposed to all sorts of threats.
