What Causes Breathlessness And Numbness From Chest To Shoulders During Intercourse?

Sometimes during intercourse, while laying on my back, I feel I cant breathe and my chest to shoulders get numb...it is very scary and embarassing. Does not happen in any other position~only when my partner is over me. He does try to keep most of the weight off of my chest...it does not seem to help.

Hi,
It is possible having this problem during sex when your partner is on top due to pressure and weight on your back and shoulder.
Change the position and go for pleasurable sex.
After all you want heavenly pleasure while sex, position is of not much important.
So change the position and enjoy sex.
Ok and take care.
