You can build the intensity for a heightened orgasm.
- Wonder where that bruise or rug burn is from? Being constantly on your back or on your knees can and will eventually earn you bruises or rug burns. If you are always going to engage in some sort of sexual activity multiple times in a day, make sure to not use the same positions over and over.

The constant friction and penetration can cause what is known as vaginal excoriation which means the scraping of the vaginal wall.

- Women are also more prone to UTI’s (urinary tract infection). If you’ve ever had an UTI you know how uncomfortable and painful they are. One easy way to avoid this is to urinate after sex. By emptying the bladder you’ll rid your body of bacteria. Also remember to stay hydrated!
- You can suffer damage nerve damage. Constant and direct stimulation can lead to nerve damage. While it can be pleasurable, try and pace yourself. If you find direct stimulation to be too overwhelming or you need a break, try indirect ways of foreplay.
- You can suffer decreased sensitivity which may result in harder to reach climaxes. For women, nerve sensations can become dull, leading to longer times before reach climax. For men, the depletion of sperm and semen can lead to longer sessions before orgasm. Some advice, take a power nap to get your energy levels back!

- Women can be more prone to infections. Constant sex can cause tiny abrasions along the vaginal wall which can allow bacteria to get to into the body. This can mean things such as yeast infections. So stay lubricated and also make sure to be hygienic.
