Negligent Sex

[drscott]

Attention champdaddy: please be sure your liability coverage is paid up.

(story from Volokh)

the defendant did vary slightly the position previously used, without prior specific discussion and without the explicit prior consent of the plaintiff. It is this variation that the plaintiff claims caused his injury [penile fracture]. . . . The plaintiff's injuries were serious and required emergency surgery. He has endured a painful and lengthy recovery. He has suffered from sexual dysfunction that neither medication nor counseling have been able to treat effectively. . . .

Um, might want to check the URL, it seems to be invalid. :-)

Fixed, thanks. Those damn buffers. :)

"lengthy" recovery. I wonder as to what lengths it'll go...

[excessor.livejournal.com]

Yes, but did they both get off?

[champdaddy.livejournal.com]

OW! it hurt to even read that.

I warned you about the pun-ishment you must take for that... :-)

But seriously, the suit was thrown out -- establishing a principal that in consensual sex, you'd have to show more than just minor negligence to sue for damages.

Just be sure your bottom knows to provide a properly positioned and oriented receptacle for your love muscle. Maybe a training course is required?

it would be easier to strap them down.
