18 million Britons 'suffer sex injuries'

Around a third of British adults have suffered an injury while having sex or afterwards, a new survey has revealed.

The questionnaire from mobile phone recycling firm PhonePiggyBank suggests that 18 million people have hurt themselves having sex, with four in ten also claiming to have broken a household item in the act.

Sofas were deemed to be the most dangerous locations for sex, followed by stairs, cars, showers and the bedroom. The top ten of risky sex sites was made up by chairs, kitchen tables, the garden, toilets and work cupboards.

A company spokesman said: "'Sex is a risky business these days. There are numerous hazards in and around the home which can inflict severe injuries if people aren't careful.

"We were amazed to find out that even the bedroom can prove a hazardous location for certain people. Our advice would be to remove any dangerous objects well before you plan to start making love and take care while in the act."

Most common injuries during sex were as follows:
1. Pulled muscle
2. Injured back
3. Carpet burns
4. Cricked neck
5. Bashing elbows / knees
6. Bruised shoulder
7. Twisted knee
8. Sprained / strained wrist
9. Sprained / strained ankle
10. Bending fingers back
