A sexual sadist is someone who enjoys inflicting pain, punishment, or humiliation on others to gain sexual pleasure. While a masochist is a person who derives sexual gratification from being subjected to physical pain or humiliation.
Heart Attack
One of the most common reasons men die during or after sex is a heart attack (myocardial infarction). The physical exertion during sex can cause a surge in heart rate and blood pressure, especially if the individual has undiagnosed or poorly managed heart disease.
For men with coronary artery disease or heart conditions, the increased demand for oxygen during sexual activity can lead to a heart attack. Sexual activity can be compared to moderate physical exercise, but the additional emotional excitement can further strain the heart.
Sex can literally take your breath away for good if you’re prone to heart attacks. So instead of you to cum, you go.
Aortic dissection is another life-threatening cardiovascular condition. This occurs when the inner layer of the aorta, the large blood vessel branching off the heart, tears. Blood surges through this tear, causing the inner and middle layers of the aorta to separate. Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, can increase the risk of aortic dissection in people who have hypertension or other vascular abnormalities. It is one of the leading cause of sudden death worldwide.
There are people who love to be choked or physically assaulted to have a mix of pain and pleasure during sex. This is the number one cause of death during or immediately after sex. It is medically known as Sado-Masochism.
These people enjoy being at the brink of pain and pleasure. An example is Sexual Asphyxiation which refers to practices like autoerotic asphyxiation (intentionally restricting oxygen to enhance sexual pleasure). These risky behaviours can accidentally go too far, leading to unintentional strangulation and death.
Stroke
A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident, is another reason men or women may die during sex. A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a blood clot or a burst blood vessel.
The heightened blood pressure and stress during sexual activity, especially in those with poorly controlled hypertension, can precipitate a stroke. While the act of sex itself is not usually dangerous for healthy individuals, background issues like this can make it fatal.
Medications and Drugs
Certain medications, particularly those for erectile dysfunction like sildenafil (viagra) or tadalafil, when combined with heart disease or medications for Angina like nitrates, can dangerously lower blood pressure and cause cardiovascular complications.
Recreational drugs, including stimulants like cocaine, can also dramatically increase the heart rate and blood pressure, putting the individual at higher risk for heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular incidents during sex.
Herbs and concoctions are also implicated in these. It’s safer to use physical exercise like Kegels instead of relying on pharmaceuticals.
Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, can be triggered during sexual activity, particularly in men or women with a history of cardiac issues.
In some cases, the heart may beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly, disrupting the normal pumping function and leading to sudden cardiac arrest. This may result in fainting, loss of consciousness, or sudden death if untreated. Men with sedentary lifestyles or who are not accustomed to physical exertion are at higher risk. For these men, the sudden increase in physical activity, combined with excitement and exertion during sex, may overwhelm their heart.
The risk increases with infidelity or secretive affairs, where the additional emotional stress may contribute to a heightened risk of cardiac events. Many men who die during sex have undiagnosed or unmanaged health issues like hypertension, diabetes, aneurysm or obesity.
These conditions weaken the cardiovascular system over time and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications during physically stressful activities, including sex.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest
This occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating due to electrical disturbances, often leading to death within minutes if not treated immediately.
Sudden cardiac arrest can be triggered by emotional or physical stress, making it a rare but possible event during sex. While death during sex is statistically uncommon, it usually involves underlying medical conditions that are exacerbated by physical and emotional stress.
Men with heart disease, high blood pressure, or other cardiovascular risk factors should be cautious, especially when using medications that could interact dangerously with their condition.
Regular checkups, healthy lifestyle choices, and awareness of one’s cardiovascular health can significantly reduce the risk of fatal incidents during sexual activity.
