Back problems can make your sex life a lot more difficult. Still, some positions are less taxing on your back than others.
New insights
It has been thought for years that spoon-spoon is the best position for people with back problems, but that turns out not to be the case. Canadian researchers examined the movements of the spine during sex in different positions. What were the findings?
Women
Do you suffer from low back pain that gets worse when you lie on your stomach? The missionary position is then the best. If you have back pain when you try to touch your toes or after sitting for a long time, then doggy style is the least strain on your back.
Men
Last month, the same study was conducted among men. For men with back problems, doggy style is the best position to have sex.
Move from the hips
It also makes a difference to really get the movements from the hips instead of moving from the back.
