He wanted to attempt sexual acrobatics. As The Sun recounts, this couple were in a ‘reverse cowgirl’ position when the man heard a cracking noise at his penis. He felt a sharp pain and then found himself unable to urinate. In this sexual position, the woman places herself on the man – seated – with her back to him. An important source of pleasure for both partners but which can cause accidents if the two lovers are not synchronized. In this case, the risk of penile fracture is significant.

Doctors soon found he was suffering from a fractured penis that had damaged his urethra. They were forced to perform surgery reports the journal Urology Case Reports: “Ruptures of penile bodies and urethral lesions were revealed during a immediate surgery. Corpus ruptures were repaired followed by urethral reconstruction. The operation was uneventful.” Less than a month after the operation, the patient was fully recovered.

According to The Sun, the first case of penile fracture was recorded in 1924, and since then 1,600 cases have been recorded worldwide. A 2014 study published in the journal Advances in Urology reported that this sexual position was responsible for 50% of penile fractures.
