Sex injuries and accidents while lovemaking happen more often in February due to use of "foreign objects," according to reports. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database has over 450 cases of sex-related injuries on record in the last six years, Med Page Today reported.

"It's not uncommon that we see this, but it's not a daily occurrence," confirmed Dr. Robert Glatter, an ER doctor at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

Many of these injuries involve consumer products, sex enhancement devices or sex toys, and these either disappear or get stuck in openings, according to Vice News. While the majority claim vibrators as the cause of the injury, some reported using unusual objects including pencil, curling irons, mirrors and a lawn mower.

The data also revealed that the injured actually wait for "several days" before visiting the emergency room to get treatment or attention. Glatter warned, "The longer you wait, sometimes you can even get septic." However, it is believed that most injuries often go unreported.

"We always have respect and privacy and never pass any judgment," Glatter advised. "We want to make sure they're OK. I think that's what contributes to delays - fear staff will react in a negative way."

The data also suggested that while accidents rise during the Valentine month, many cases were also reported for July and April. Of these cases, the body part that received the most injury was the crotch or pelvic area and the lower trunk, but one report cited a dental injury. In this incident, the couple had been using a sex swing when it fell and hit the woman's mouth.

However, none of the recorded injuries proved fatal, according to Newser.
