My boyfriend injured his ribs playing rugby. Being a bit of a macho man he decided to “walk it off” and did not go to the doctor immediately after the injury happened. The next night he and I were having sex when he started having sharp pains in his side. I immediately insisted we go to the ER (it was late at night) and have him checked out. When we got there he expalined to the nurse what happened (starting with how he originally got hurt to why we were here now) and eventually he got to see the doctor. We were given a prescription for pain meds which we went to fill at the hospital pharmacy.

As we were leaving the ER we saw the doctor who had seen my boyfriend. The man looked at me, laughed, and said to my boyfriend, “Stay on top next time and you won’t get crushed.”

Thin privilege is not having a medical professional accuse you of crushing your SO during sex.
