Too Much Sex Can Cause Wrist Pain

Too Much Sex Can Cause Wrist Pain, article.
"The missionary position puts a lot of pressure on the wrists of the individual on top. That can result in an over-straining and stretching and even tearing of tissue, which could contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome." Increases in the number of sufferers coincided with the launch of new drugs such as Viagra, according to the research.

I knew there had to be a reason I never got carpal, despite heavy computer use.

Thanks to Jan. He pointed to the article as a joke, but he reminded me that a couple of months ago, I changed away from the Rollermouse, and this may have been causing my neck/arm problems! Since I couldn't feel any strain when using a mouse, I could not imagine it could cause any damage. But maybe I better start imagining! I don't want to get into the crippled condition I was in two years ago, posts here, here, here, here. I first got the Rollermouse after that disaster.

  1. Too much SOLO sex can cause just as much wrist pain.
    But usually it's not symmetrical. Go figure...

  3. What's this, you said?
    Come again?
    Hunh? WHAT?
    No no no, this "making you deaf" bit is a myth.

    So, Ray, your grandfather too was a jackhammer wo-wo-wo-worker?

    Actually, I plan on blogging that "educational propaganda" one day. From their frightening Stephen King-y claims, today in 2010, you coud swear that "masturbation" is really another name for "Aids"! With a serving of tuberculosis on the side, and a sprinkle of leukemia for the flavor.

    I didn't know you could catch HIV from wanking... ;-p
    I thought it only gave you the HIVES. And zits, warts, hairy palms, yo-yo eyes, freckles, bad breath, "zigzagged" teeth...
    (That word © my 3y/o niece. :-)
    Oh, and also the Pascal Old Chap Syndrome. POCS for short.
