Trying new funky sex positions is great… until the morning after. Apparently, having a blunt object slammed inside of your body with all the force of another human being, while you are twisted up like a pretzel, is not good for your joints. Who knew?

So today, we are ranking sex positions from least to most likely to land you in the chiropractor’s office. Is this a what not to do list or a bucket list? That is for you to decide, you naughty lady.

  1. Spooning – It’s hard to go wrong here!
  2. Missionary – Your joints are safe with this one.
  3. Cunnilingus – Safe to receive, but might give you a crick in your neck if you give for too long.
  4. Cowgirl – Yeehaw! This one can be hard on the thighs and ankles, but it is easier to make adjustments since you are in control.
  5. Doggy Style – The direct smashing of someone’s pelvis into your backside is trouble, especially if you are arching with all your might.
  6. The Piledriver – Legs up and near the head requires flexibility, a strong neck and a great chiropractor.
  7. The Wheelbarrow – Requires serious upper body strength, core stability and faith in your partner not to drop you.
  8. The Amazon – Your legs are in the air, your partner is squatting over you and your chiropractor is booking a vacation with the money you’ll spend fixing this one.
  9. The Bridge – Holding a literal backbend while having sex? Bold. Your spine does not approve.

Do what you will with this information, just don’t come crying to me when you have to explain to a medical professional why your spine looks like a question mark.
