Everyone hopes for perfect sex, but unexpected situations are inevitable. If not handled properly, these can not only ruin the experience but also potentially affect reproductive health. Below are some common sexual mishaps encountered in clinical practice and their corresponding solutions.
1. Leg cramps. Leg cramps are mostly caused by overly vigorous movements during sex, excessive muscle stretching, dehydration, fatigue, etc. Having your partner massage the affected area can promote local blood circulation and relax the muscles.
2. Getting stuck in a zipper. It's estimated that zippers cause 10,000 bedroom injuries each year. The penis, nipples, and pubic hair are among the most vulnerable areas. If you get stuck in a zipper, apply some lubricant to it to help open it.
3. Head bump. During passionate encounters, it's easy to bump your head. In this case, wrap some ice in a towel and apply it to the injured area to promote vasoconstriction and reduce swelling.
4. Neck pain. Maintaining one position for a long time during sex can cause neck muscles to stiffen and become painful. It's necessary to change positions and adjust accordingly.
5. Allergies. Lubricants and condoms can cause allergies. You can wipe off the allergen with a wet wipe or try a different brand. However, if you experience shortness of breath, palpitations, or eczema, you must see a doctor immediately.
