Pig plague alert: Avoid missionary position
Cosmpolitan has done its bit to fight the terrifying advance of the H1N1 pig plague by advising its readers to avoid the missionary position during sex and instead adopt the reverse cowgirl. According to the handy guide (spotted by Gawker, which has a grab here) explaining how not to die as a result of human contact, gals should …

Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?
having had a colourful description of the pop that a penis makes when it fractures from a slip during reverse cow girl, it's off the menu in my household. tends to be all female meds during the op to sew it back on. something about peeling it open like a banana ...
Thanks for the tips
Avoiding physical contact is always a good idea during sex.
Maybe we should all take up latex fetishism?
Obviously a Joke
After all, one could simply go and get one's flu shot, couldn't one?
Well yes...
...if of course the flu shot was designed for the current mutated strain of pig flu... which it likely isn't anymore.
Protect the flus!
> "get one's flu shot"
I strongly oppose this meaningless violence against flus! Someone should mandate humane treatment of flus.
Foreplay
I'm not sure how effective kiss-blowing and upper-arm squeezing will be as foreplay... I think to practice truly safe sex we need full-body condoms (aka Police Academy?)
hermitically ?
If that was intentional that was quite clever...
Where should I go
to Adopt a reversed cowgirl. and would that make the nice lady from the PETA advert like me?
inquiring minds need to know
Playmobil
We need a Playmobil guide to keeping safe during the crisis!!
Right then....
...from now until we are given the all clear, I will replace all handshakes with 'bumped fists'. Might be a bit awkward at client meetings but we must all do our part.
Fist bump is out

In b4 antivaxers...
I'm sure this is only going to remotely work if you wear armour, too. Additionally, it is NOT fun doing it with 38.7 and a tremendous headache. Any MD wanna comment?
Solution Is Simples
and the same as you would use if shagging a real moose - put a paper bag over their head!
If you're worried about catching a disease...
perhaps you shouldn't rub your wet bits against theirs.
I've had pig plague, and I really didn't fancy sex at the time anyway.
With a nod to Sheldon Cooper
"I've had pig plague and I really didn't fancy sex at the time anyway"
If influenza wasn't contagious after symptoms manifested themselves, it would have disappeared a long time ago. Between cave dwelling and tool building, Homo habilis would have figured out to kill the guy with the runny nose.
I don't understand this
I mean it's not as if Paris has come down with swine flu.
maybe playing the pink oboe gives you some sort of immunity....
What the ****
What more should we do to avoid the pig plague? well stop all human contact, so work from home!
Ok, no I'm not going to work from home or stop using a sex style. In fact I do all the things we should should avoid, pig flu? what pig flu!
What on earth?
Reverse cowgirl is strictly a porn position. Does anyone actually try this more than once? Probably the most unsatisfying and uncomfortable position ever.
Nonsense!
It's like doggy on your back, so basically awesome, but you get to lie down and do nothing
Ah, but....
If your partner has a nice ass, the view is awesome.
Dangerous advice
When I tried to tell one of the girls in the office that a reverse cowgirl would be safer than just saying good morning, she puched me right in the nose.
Consequently this careless article increased her chances of catching something enormously.
More advice needed
What are the, H1N1, infection chances from pos. 69 ? If it's in the breath does that mean watersports are safe ? ... Research needed here I feel.
@Ian Ferguson
It was from Naked Gun, but I don't remember specifically which one (I think the first) - Frank says to the girl: "I believe in safe sex" and the next scene is of both of them in giant condoms.
Absolutely no foreplay...
It must be forced, mechanical and over with as soon as possible...
Also, make a date with a marriage councellor to deal with the increased anxiety...
Sorry,
what's all this about fisting bumps, I though we were talking about the reverse cowgirl
bad linking
went to the link in the post.....quite informative, but then there was a link to this
http://gawker.com/5418423/grandmothers-and-ice-cream-should-not-get-so-close - very wrong!!
Pais, because this is what she will look like in 40yrs time
Works for me
I'm actually surprised that Cosmo didn't publish an article entitled "the 10 H1N1 positions that will drive him Wild..."
Oh and in my circle of friends we prefer the term "Hamthrax" to "Pig Plague"
Feel free to spread the term around.
Hamthrax?
That's the funniest thing I've heard in quite some time! Thank you!
How about we just f**k the media instead?
Since it's their ratings-chasing hysteria which has people freaking out over this "plague" anyway.
I've had to explain to at least one person than, no, H1N1 is NOT 100% fatal. For real.
This time next year, swine flu will be last year's news just like bird flu is now (remember how *that* was going to end civilization as we know it? Yeah. Can you even remember the HnNn code for that one now? I can't.) and the "news" will be full of whatever humanity-ending plague is going around then.
The only plague likely to kill is all is the fast-spreading "Human Stupidity" or H1S1, the cure for which is to stop listening to whatever the well-paid talk radio host or TV rent-a-pundit with plastic hair is telling you, do your own research on things and FOR GOD'S SAKE THINK FOR A CHANGE!

"Can you even remember the HnNn code for that one now?"
Yes - H5N1 and I didn't even look it up. But I agree, who cares? It's just another flu. Some people who get it will die, most won't. I think it's another case of "scares sell news."
Absolute hysteria
Yesterday, I came to work to see a handwashing station IN THE GODDAMNED ELEVATOR.
People seriously need to get a grip.
Why is this a problem?
"Yesterday, I came to work to see a handwashing station IN THE GODDAMNED ELEVATOR."
Perfectly understandable if you know what the average UK lift is often used for. And it isn't love...
be 100% safe
Look, just stick (?) to hand shandies until you get the flu shot. I'm off to email idea this to the Dept Of Health right now, hopefully some idiot will pop up on my TV recommending it as good practice.
@ Tim K
au contraire, it's by far the easiest position in which to watch television/read the paper/surf the web/eat a Pot Noodle/text your bit on the side without your partner knowing that you are devoting less than full attention to the business in hand.
Now, can the Reg Safer Sex Team tell us what Cosmo has to say about reverse cowgirl anal?
Evidence or Proper Analysis?
Since 'reverse cowgirl' is equivalent to 'doggie style' with a 90 degree rotation about the Z-axis, I'm thinking that this, as well as the inelegant 'twisted spoon' would be just as good and not as uncomfortable.
Did they do any real research for this or is it just some magazine hack's opinion?
Damn right!
Doggie style is much more comfortable, it also reduces the risk of me getting my manhood fractured. OW!
@ Gene Cash: Getting a Grip
Actually, I think the point is to avoid getting The Grip(pe). Health and Safety Officers have a way of spreading their "Influence"
OK, I'm running now!
Anyone who takes sex advice from Cosmo
Will get exactly what they deserve.
http://www.cracked.com/article/156_7-sex-tips-from-cosmo-that-will-put-you-in-hospital/
Their links are better than mine would be. Icy Hot, that's all I want to say. And now I have to go wash my brain.
Get your H1N1 filter pillows here!
I guess one potential advantage of the Cosmo position is it'd make getting a pedicure at the same time easier. But what's wrong with the good'ol pillow biting position?
Tell me more
about these cosmopolitan urges of yours.
+1 for hamthrax
Cowgirl?
I don't think my wife would approve if she caught me in bed with a cowgirl, reversed or otherwise.
Assuming you actually spend some time with the people you have sex with, you'll probably have many other chances to exchange viruses with them - not just when you're doing the beast with two backs.
Elevators...
"Yesterday, I came to work to see a handwashing station IN THE GODDAMNED ELEVATOR"
Not so odd. Think it through.
I was in China at the middle of the SARS epidemic. (I was one of the few Nokia folks from Europe to agree to go).
It immediately dawned on me to use matchsticks to press the buttons in the hotel's elevator, as that's something everyone in the hotel touched.
Never got SARS, but because I happened to sneeze - once - on my first day back, due to travelling in cattle-class and breathing relatively dry air for 14 hours, I got a weeks' free sick leave. I was absolutely fine. (Last paragraph simplified, but you get the drift).
Oh, and Missinary Position's good for us. Easier for us to hold the brown paper bags over our heads without tearing them, natch. We're both 'fugly uckers'.
Definitely need a third party...
...because the virus spreads orally.
Cosmopolitan...Sheesh.
Once there was an article/discussion about vibrators.
A "Wise Doctor" injoined "One should never put anything unsterilised into the vagina".
A far wiser woman replied "How would you suggest sterilising a penis? Would boiling suffice?"
Statistically..shouldn't happen to me.
My missus - due to her being a healthcare worker was innoculated in the first batch to Finland. After all, she cycles around the city, making sure her customers (at home we affectionately refer to them as the 'Grand Old Ladies/Gentlemen) have taken their pills/food, and are washed, shaved and - OK - alive. Guess the idea of giving them a dose of swine 'flu wouldn't go down well.
Actually, with the health budget mentality - if enough get it and croak, it'd save a packe...Nah, Andus, you're thinking too much ZaNuLabour.
But as she's been innoculated against H1N1, and as we're 'exchanging bodily fluids' on birthdays and public holidays then I may also be immune now. Kinda 'reverse innoculation', if you get my drift. Lester's already done a Playmobil of this, something about man-juice and alien overlords - no need to reiterate. Although the 'recommended' reverse cow-girl method quoted in the article would make me an 'underlord'. At a guess.
The statistical bit - if, say 70% of Finland's population get vaccinated, then I'm far less likely to be exposed. Added to the fact I keep my bloodstream at a totally unhealthy (to bugs) level of alcohol, I'm probably the least likely in Finland to get it.
I, for one welcome our new reverse cow-girl over.., er, thingies.
