Love hurts: injuries sustained during sex have hit a six year high, ACC figures reveal.
And a Queenstown physiotherapist believe the claims could spike as people get more adventurous.
Last year, nearly 300 people made claims to the Accident Compensation Corporation for injuries sustained during sex and more than $100,000 was paid out by ACC.
Physiotherapist Melissa Davidson said people copying the sexual exploits of characters in the popular erotic movie Fifty Shades of Grey could result in a greater number of claims being made this year.
