The South African Health Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi, has attributed one of the causes of cancer to a sexual position which requires more strength.
According to the Health Minister, the Doggy style sexual position is one of the most energy draining sexual positions and thus has a negative effect on the health.
Speaking on the research conducted by the ministry over the period of three years, the 58-year-old government official said: “On cancer – one of the main causes of cancer is stress, fatigue and tiredness.”
He continued while speaking to Insider that the research found out that the high pumping of blood during sex, when one is standing or kneeling overloads the veins in the legs which ultimately causes stroke.
“The most energy consuming and stressful sexual position for men is doggy; hence the connection is more than clear.
“Look, I am only giving you guys a snippet, but we will be posting the results of the full research on the Ministry website.”
