A healthy intimate life is important to a person’s overall wellbeing, both mental and physical. But things can go wrong during the act, leading to injuries that sometimes require a trip to the emergency room. While it’s important for men to practice appropriate male organ care steps before, during and after lovemaking, it’s also important to think about a lady partner’s wellbeing. Listed below are five common lovemaking injuries or accidents that may befall a woman, as well as prevention steps for a safer sensual experience.

1. Female Organ Tearing

By far, this is one of the most common consequences of lovemaking for women. The delicate skin around the female organ’s opening can tear, become inflamed and bleed, leading to a day or two of pain for a woman, and possibly the inability to go for round two (or three or four) in the sack.

Female organ tearing is most likely to occur if a woman is insufficiently lubricated. To decrease the likelihood of injuring a woman’s precious entry point, a man should make sure not to insert his male organ, multiple fingers or other objects until she is thoroughly stimulated and slick. Some partners need to use a product to achieve sufficient lubrication.

Another cause of female organ tearing is rough and/or prolonged lovemaking. Some people like it that way, and it’s up to a woman to decide if it’s worth the likely consequence of soreness. Keeping lubed up in this situation is helpful, but may not prevent all tearing.

2. Lost Glove

Ever lose a rubber? It may have been lodged inside a partner. While it may be possible to remove it at home, especially a while after lovemaking when the female organ returns to its shortened pre-stimulated length, some women require the assistance of a doctor.

Barrier slippage can occur for a number of reasons. There may be too much lubrication inside the glove, in which case just putting lube in the tip, or not putting any inside, may be necessary. The barrier may also simply be too big for a man’s member. Or slippage may result from inadequate lubrication inside a woman’s female organ. Dryness creates friction, which can pull the rubber off a man. Adequate external lubrication, limited internal lubrication and a proper fit are key to preventing slippage.

3. Muscle Strain

It’s easy to see how muscle strain can result from lovemaking in nearly any position. For a woman who likes variations of the missionary style, such as having her legs bent and held close to her body, hip flexor strain often occurs. The hip flexors stretch from the top of the thighs to the lower back and are held contracted in such positions. Some women enjoy these positions enough to withstand the consequence, but those who want to be able to walk more easily the next day can use more straight-legged positions or switch positions more frequently.

4. Yeast Infection

A woman can get yeast infections from lovemaking – especially if saliva is around her female organ. Since foregoing oral pleasure may not be a woman’s favorite option, a man can help out by making sure there is no saliva on his male organ from oral activity when entering her, as well as not using saliva as lube.

5. Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are made more likely by rough lovemaking or inadequate lubrication because female organ tearing increases a lady’s risk of them. She should also urinate before and after lovemaking to flush away bacteria that causes the infection.

In addition to keeping a woman safe and pleased during lovemaking, a man can boost his sensual experience by using a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) after showering. The best moisturizer will contain a combination of hydrators, such as Shea butter and vitamin E, for soft and resilient skin. This will reduce the likelihood of chafing and discomfort from the friction of a lover’s body or a man’s own hand, allowing him to be ready for the next encounter.
