Urinary tract infection (ISK) can be a woman’s nightmare after a hot bed session. It turns out that there are some sex positions that are the most dangerous because they trigger a higher risk of UTIs.
Women are more at risk of developing UTIs than men. The opening of the urethra and the adjacent vagina allows bacteria from the vagina to enter the urinary tract. The risk of UTI is even greater supported by favorite sex positions.
“The general rule is that a position with more friction between the bodies equals a higher chance of a UTI,” says sexpert Ruby Rare.

The sex positions that are most dangerous for women because of the high risk of STIs are as follows.
1. Missionaries
The missionary sex position is said to be one of the most at risk of triggering a UTI. Missionaries allow the urinary tract to meet the penis and friction is created. Bacteria from the genitals also enter the urinary tract, urinary tract or kidneys, causing infection.
In fact, as reported by the Independent, the missionary sex position is an effective position to trigger orgasm in women. But you can minimize it by placing both feet on the shoulders of your partner.
2. Cowgirl
Like missionaries, the cowgirl sex position also allows the transfer of bacteria from the genitals to the female urinary tract.
The position of cowgirl or woman on top is when women are above men. The friction in this position is so great that bacteria can spread easily.
3. Fingering
Is UTI always triggered by penetration of the penis into the vagina? The answer is no. Fingering or finger stimulation can also trigger a UTI. Even as reported by Medical News Today, fingering can also trigger sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including herpes, syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea.
“Before getting ‘hot’ and ‘heavy’, remember to always wash your hands to reduce the risk,” said Ruby.
4. Anal sex
Talk about the spread of bacteria, you should not forget about anal sex. The anus or anal is the place for millions of bacteria. Just imagine these bacteria move to the penis and then can enter the urinary tract when penetration moves to the vagina.
Behind the ‘unique’ sensation of anal sex, there are indeed risks that must be considered.
In addition to the risk of UTIs, anal sex can trigger sphincter damage (a kind of natural valve in the anus), interfere with bowel movements, nerve damage in the anal area to colon cancer (colon cancer).
