Best and Worst Sex Positions for Different Types of Back Pain

Recent research out of the University of Waterloo blew conventional medical advice about the best sex positions for men with lower back pain out of the water. The study offered the first scientifically-backed evidence for the best and worst sex positions for men with different types of back pain.

The researchers analyzed spinal movement and muscle loading in 10 couples engaged in intercourse using five common positions. From the results, they were able to offer preliminary recommendations for positions to pursue and avoid for either “flexion-intolerant” or “extension-intolerant” men. Flexion intolerance is marked by increased back pain upon bending forward, which commonly occurs in men with a herniated disc. Extension intolerance is characterized by increased pain upon bending backward.

Flexion-Intolerant Positions

The following are sex positions that flexion-intolerant men, according to this study, should be comfortable in:

Doggie Style: This position involves one partner on all fours with the other partner behind, entering from the rear. Two variations of “doggie style” include the receiving partner supporting him/herself with the hands or elbows. For the man with flexion-intolerant pain, entering from behind and thrusting from the knees and hips rather that the lower back is a good way to avoid exacerbating pain.

Missionary Modification: A man with flexion-intolerant pain can also assume the missionary position, with his partner lying on her back. He can prop himself up on his hands to extend his back and avoid flexing the lower back when thrusting.

Extension-Intolerant Positions

Men with this type of back pain benefit from positions that would be detrimental to someone with flexion-intolerant back pain. The study identified two optimal positions:

Spooning: The two partners lie in fetal position with the partner in pain behind the other. The flexed position prevents exacerbation of extension-type pain. (Spooning is the position that doctors have generally recommended to people with back pain, but this study found it unideal for men with flexion-intolerant pain.)

Missionary Modification: Here, the man on top will support himself on his elbows, lying closely against his partner. She can flex her hips and bend her knees at his sides to assist in making the position comfortable for him.

Further Research

The reported findings thus far have not focused on women with back pain. Researchers plan to publish findings in this area soon, as well as optimal positions for people with hip pain. For now, women can use common sense and favor positions that don’t require them to bend their spines in ways that exacerbate pain.

Maintaining a healthy sex life in the face of chronic pain is important for many individuals and couples. The positions that are right for you depend on what type of pain you have. Communicate with your partner about your needs, and find time to experiment!

Big Muscles On Small Bones

I was a skinny, scrawny kid growing up. Throughout elementary school there was only one other kid that I knew who was skinnier than me. I had no natural genetics to rely upon. When I became interested in building my body at 15 years old I felt like I would be fighting a losing battle, so to speak. I began exercising at 15 but began serious bodybuilding (not competing) at age 16. I finished my freshman year in high school as a skinny guy who was usually picked last or almost last for teams. I returned back to school after the summer break as a sophomore with a new body with big, shapely muscles. This is a true story! Some of my friends whom I knew since grade school said, “What happened to you?” “You’re buff now!” Well, let me tell you what happened to me. I got ahold of some very valuable information when I ordered a bodybuilding course. This course included both weight and non weight workout routines which were mailed to me weekly. I applied these routines as well as the advice regar

8 Top Countries' Dietary Advice for Pregnancy

In every culture, all over the world, even in obscure little towns and settlements, everyone has a theory about what a pregnant woman should, or should not eat. There seems to be no universally established diet for the "pregnant woman." Some say one thing and in a different part of the world some say the opposite. For instance, in Italy, wine is encouraged or rather there's an ambivalence towards wine for a pregnant woman, in Ireland, Guinness is encouraged while you are pregnant, in Spain a little coffee is okay and so on. I'll make it easy for you by giving you all I've read on general thoughts and practices and dietary instructions from all over the world. JAPAN Firstly, in Japan a pregnant woman is strongly advised to lose weight as fat accumulates in the vaginal walls making childbirth difficult. Amazing is not it?
