Things getting hot and heavy?
Better keep the health card handy.
Ranging from the steamy to the sandy, redditors recently shared some of their worst X-rated escapades after a racy forum asked followers: “What’s something sexual that you are never doing again?”
Leading the way for most, according to the New York Post, was shower sex with redditors describing the steamy deed as uncomfortable to downright dangerous.
“Shower sex bent over made me dizzy like I’d pass out,” said one reply.
Another redditor said their hearing and vision would “go in and out” during the act.
“Bro I have to (do) a slight squat for shower sex and between holding that position and thrusting, I need to sit down after,” they said.
Another poster said he fractured his ribs and hit his head on a ceramic shelf during some slippery sex-capades.
Slips and falls are not the only risks during shower sex. Orgasms and hot showers can also put a person at risk of passing out as the vagus nerve, which “regulates heart rate and blood vessel constriction, temporarily loses normal regulation due to overstimulation,” according to Medical News Today.
“As a result, the blood vessels widen, blood pressure drops and the person faints,” Medical News Today said, via the Post.
Plus, shower sex can strip away natural lubrication and make condoms less effective, the Post reported.

As for sex on the beach, maybe just enjoy the shooter as one redditor complained that sand is “course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.” The Post also cited a vomit-inducing study claiming that “beach sand contains up to 100 times more fecal matter than seawater.”
Meanwhile, don’t scratch that itch when it comes to sex in the woods as mosquito bites and other nuisances lurk in the darkness.
“Sex in the woods in the dark … worst experience I’ve ever had,” said another redditor. “It was a bush party and we wandered off drunk into the woods … we ended up on the ground … next morning I had blisters the (size) of eggs on my knees and forearms from POISON OAK. … I had to go to the hospital it was so bad.”
