A well-known Nigerian medical doctor, Ajidahun Olusina, has issued a strong warning to men about the dangers of engaging in certain sex positions, stating that they could lead to serious injuries, including penile fractures, which may require hospitalization.
Taking to his Twitter page, the medical expert explained that some common sex positions put excessive strain on a man’s organ, increasing the risk of serious damage. He emphasized that men should be particularly cautious and avoid these positions to prevent potential health complications.
According to Dr. Olusina, the most dangerous positions for men include doggy style, cowgirl, and reverse cowgirl. He revealed that these positions place the penis at a vulnerable angle during penetration and thrusting, making it prone to sudden bending, which could result in severe injuries.
He further backed his claim with research findings, citing a study conducted on men who suffered penile fractures. The study’s results indicated that doggy style accounted for the highest number of cases, with a 41% occurrence rate, followed by man on top at 25.5%, while woman on top accounted for 9%.
“As a man, there are some sexual positions you should remove from your diary if you don’t want to risk landing in a hospital,” he wrote.
Doggy - 41%
Cowgirl - 9%
Reverse cowgirl - 9%
Man on top - 25.5%
The reason is that in these sexual positions, the penis’ angle during thrusting and penetration puts it at a high risk of fracture. The study conducted on men with penile fractures showed that doggy style was the riskiest, with the highest percentage of injuries recorded.
So, for the sake of your health and well-being, SAY NO to these positions!” he advised.
His post has since gone viral, sparking mixed reactions from social media users. While some agreed with his warning and shared personal experiences, others questioned the accuracy of his claims, arguing that careful execution could minimize risks.
