Myths regarding sex start in the schoolyard. As far as children are concerned, you can make a baby simply by kissing someone. These myths filter through to adulthood where, despite having experienced some form of sexual activity, they become as equally farfetched.
One prominent belief, which has been wrongly discredited, is that you can break a penis. The idea that you could snap someone’s manhood has long been laughed at, but it is actually very possible – especially if you adopt any of these positions in bed!
A penile fracture is caused when either one or both of the tunica albuginea – the membranes that cover the penis’s erectile tissue – is ruptured. This occurs when an erect penis is subjected to rapid blunt force and typically happens during sex or aggressive masturbation.
You may think it impossible to achieve such a serious injury, but according to a study published in the journal Advances in Urology, over the course of three years, there were 42 known cases of penile fractures – with the most common cause of these injuries being sex in the cowgirl position. However, a lot of cases are not reported due to embarrassment and shame.
In another study, this time featured in the International Journal of Impotence Research, specialists discovered that doggy style is the most dangerous position as far as penile fractures are concerned, with 41 percent of incidents having resulted after some rigorous rear action!
Alarmingly they found that the second most dangerous was the basic missionary position, where 25 percent of accidents occurred. Switching this composition to place the woman on top came in third as the most likely to cause harm to a man’s privates – and dignity.
“We do not observe differences between the severity of the penile fracture between the ‘doggy style’ and ‘man-on-top’, but the ‘doggy style’ had more severity of penile fracture when compared with ‘woman-on-top’,” the study noted.
Other research has found that it is most common for a penis to be broken when a man slips out during sex and is violently bent. Then there are also other injuries that can be inflicted upon a penis, such as a broken foreskin.
Essentially, sex is more dangerous than you originally thought and the most failproof positions are commonly the cause of major trauma. In fact, it’s surprising that getting it on doesn’t come with a safety manual or at least better sex education.
Despite the shame you may experience upon breaking your/your partner’s penis, it is important that it is treated by a medical professional.
You won’t be the first or last person to do the same – it even happens to celebrities, just ask Jackass‘s Johnny Knoxville who broke his own penis during a stunt on the show.
In this instance, size doesn’t matter.
However, there is one anomaly which comes in the form of Roberto Cabrera who claims to have the world’s largest penis. At 18.9 inches long, there is no doubt that he runs a higher risk than most ordinary men…
Although, luckily for Cabrera, there isn’t any chance of breaking his penis because he cannot get an erection! Where’s the fun in that?!
