If you've ever wondered which injuries have been, or can be, sustained in between the sheets, then wonder no more.
A new survey has revealed the most commonly sustained injuries among Brits that might take it that step too far in the bedroom.
It's more common than you might think - injuries sustained during consensual sex are now being tallied up, as couples become progressively more adventurous with each other.
Some of these have even resulted in trips to A&E.

Extra-marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com have conducted a study around injuries sustained in bed with 1,200 participants, and have revealed the results, report the Daily Star.
Findings reveal that a quarter of Brits have sustained an injury while things are getting hot and heavy, while eight percent of participants admitted that they had to make a trip to the hospital after a mishap.
But what are the most common injuries suffered by eager lovers?
Pulled Muscle - 41 percent
Unorthodox positioning and awkward angles have been pointed towards as the main culprit when it comes to sex-related injuries, as the most common injury sustained by the public.
Bruises - 37 percent
Coming in just behind is bruises - a common one that can be accidentally caused when things get a bit too heated.
This can be brought on by collisions with furniture, headboards, or unplanned falls onto the floor.
Carpet burns - 31 percent
This comes in third, as just under a third of people admitted to sustaining the injury.
Bedroom and living room floors are responsible for this one, but you could be paying the price for days or weeks if you're not careful.

Black eye - 21 percent
Next up is a black eye - it's easy for an arm or shoulder to go astray when things are getting more intense in bed, but as a fifth of participants have ended up with a bruise on their face, it might be worth toning it down a bit.
Back injury - 17 percent
Rounding off the top five is a back injury, an easy one to sustain, all it requires is a bit of strain in a certain position, or a sharp movement gone wrong, and it's time to hear sirens.
Here's the list of the most common injuries in full:
- Pulled muscle - 41 percent
- Bruises - 37 percent
- Carpet burn - 31 percent
- Black eye - 21 percent
- Back injury - 17 percent
- Cuts - 14 percent
- Twisted/sprained ankle - 10 percent
- A stuck foreign object - seven percent
Other findings that the survey found was that women are more likely to sustain injuries in bed (36 percent) compared to men (32 percent).

An anonymous woman added that she and her partner took things to the living room but 'ended up with carpet burns so bad on my knees', that colleagues asked about her weird walk.
The website's sex expert, Jessica Leoni, shared: "Sex can be adventurous without ending up in A&E.
"Sometimes, it's the spontaneous spots kitchen counters, floors, or staircases that add a bit of excitement, but a little preparation can go a long way. Grab a pillow or some blanket if you're venturing off the bed, and don't be afraid to take breaks! Nothing kills the mood like an injury," she highlighted.
"Sex injuries often happen when you're overreaching literally. Stick to what feels comfortable and enjoy the fun without the fuss. Remember, it's not just about the moves; it's about enjoying the moment!"
