Sexual activity is a normal thing between couples, but sometimes accidents can happen, and even sudden death can occur.
This sounds like a scene from a TV drama, but it's no joke. Sudden death during intercourse mostly occurs in men, and there are many reasons for this. Today, we'll discuss this topic.
Why does sudden sexual death occur?
First, men generally need to expend more physical energy than women during sex, and therefore the risks are also greater.
Secondly, men's bad habits are also a cause of sudden death during sex, such as long-term alcohol abuse and smoking, which can affect physical health.
In addition, many men nowadays face high work pressure and have many social engagements, resulting in less exercise and a higher probability of sudden death due to weak muscle strength and heart function.
In what situations is sudden sexual death more likely to occur?
First: Overwork
If you have a heavy workload and are mentally stressed during the day, and don't exercise much, your sex life may not be as "energetic," and it could even increase the risk of sudden sexual death. A word of advice: regardless of age, if you are excessively tired during the day and frequently suffer from insomnia or stay up late, avoid sexual intercourse until you are well-rested.
Second: Having underlying medical conditions
If someone has high blood pressure or heart disease, excessive excitement during intercourse can cause a sudden spike in blood pressure, putting too much strain on the heart and increasing the risk of blood vessel rupture, thus greatly increasing the probability of sudden death during intercourse.
Third: The age difference between the husband and wife is too large.
Especially for men, even at the same age of fifty, their muscle strength may be similar, but their cardiac capacity can vary greatly. If the age difference between the couple is too large, the man's heart rate may suddenly become very fast during intercourse. The excitation of the sympathetic nervous system can lead to increased blood pressure and vasoconstriction. In severe cases, blood vessels may rupture, ultimately resulting in sudden death during intercourse.
Fourth: Certain medications
In order to improve sexual ability, some people use drugs. They may not notice any abnormalities after one or two times, so they think they can take them for a long time. However, drug abuse may lead to excessive excitement and excessive movements during intercourse, and may also cause sudden death.
There are many other situations that can lead to sudden sexual death. For example, young couples who have been separated for a long time may have to travel long distances to meet. The fatigue of the journey, combined with excessive excitement, can lead to unexpected events during intercourse. To have a harmonious and healthy sex life, it is still necessary to take necessary precautions.
How can we prevent this kind of accident from happening?
Here are a few suggestions:
Recommendation 1: Couples with a large age gap should pay attention to their health and have regular check-ups, especially if they already have some chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or related hereditary diseases.
Recommendation 2: Regular exercise is necessary. Regular exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function and muscle strength, which is helpful for sex life and can also reduce the probability of sudden death during sex.
Recommendation 3: If you are too tired or mentally stressed during the day, it is not recommended to have sex . It is better to let your body rest first and be in a good state before "fighting" again. This way, the experience for both of you will be the best.
Whether it's preventing sudden death or improving your sex life, you need to exercise regularly and maintain your cardiopulmonary function. Also, people who drink alcohol regularly really need to change their ways. Having sex immediately after drinking is very dangerous, as you are in a very excited state at that time, and it's really not appropriate to have sex then.
