Sex Positions Men Don't Like

It might sound crazy, but there are some positions, or sexual adventures, that men just don’t like.  That’s not saying they don’t enjoy the sexual part of it, but there are definitely certain things that can take a great sexual experience to something scary, painful, or unpleasant.  Most of these sexual scenarios are ones where the penis could be in danger of incurring a serious injury.  The worst case scenario is a penile fracture, which unfortunately is one of the most common sex injuries among young men who engage in strenuous sex.  Penile fracture is caused by blunt force to the penis while it is erect and can entail bruising, swelling and a significant amount of pain. Here are some sex positions which may not be your man’s favorites:

The Lean Back: Erections bend forward, so riding a man the same way you would a horse or a bull just doesn’t work because the penis doesn’t bend that way.  Instead lean forward or sit straight up, rather than leaning all the way back. 

The Fake Moan: This isn’t a positon but it accompanies much of sex.  Moaning in ecstasy is thought to be a turn on for men, but that’s only when it’s genuine. Moaning without reason seems reminiscent of a bad pornography film, and most guys are not on board with it.  They want to know the pleasure they give you is real, not just about stroking his ego.

The Dead Fish: Lying on the bed with arms and legs outstretched, or as a lifeless corpse might great at the end of a yoga class, but it’s not quite the reaction a man is looking for when you are in the middle of having sex.  Even if you are on the bottom, men want an active and willing participant, not someone who is likely asleep and making no effort at all.

Catching Air: If you are on top, you have total control of depth and how quickly you are having sex.  While in this position there can be a lot of bouncing and if you bounce too high, the moment can be rather scary for the guy on the bottom.  Not landing in the right moment or way can spell definite trouble and lead to possible broken penis.  If the penis is severely bent while erect it can tear and possibly cause erectile dysfunction.  You don’t want to risk a bad landing.
