Extra-Marital Sex Hazardous to Health, Doctor Says

HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Extra-marital sex can increase your risk of having a heart attack, a British cardiologist has told a congress on sexual health in the German city of Hamburg.



Graham Jackson, a heart specialist at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, found couples in long-term relationships were far less likely to have heart attacks while having sex than those having affairs or one-night stands.


"We found that 75 percent of the cases of sudden death during sexual activity involved people who were taking part in extra-marital sexual intercourse," Jackson told the European congress late Monday.


He added the danger of having heart failure during extra-marital sex was exacerbated even further when there was a significant difference in age between the partners.


Jackson said that even though heart rates accelerate considerably during all sexual activity, his research found "couples in long-term relationships in general hardly faced any risk of heart failure."


He said measurements on blood pressure and heart rates found sex is generally comparable to a brisk 20-minute walk, with an orgasm putting a strain on the heart similar to an ensuing walk up a flight of stairs.


"All in all, only one percent of all heart attacks are triggered by sexual activity," Jackson said.

The population of these observations leads to a small amount of skepticism. I'm not sure that there is that much danger as far as heart attacks go.

Remember Jaws? When the line came out that statistically more people were bitten in three feet of water or less, probably a correct observation. However, when we look at the depth of water that most people go in, again 3 feet. So it is only normal that sharks will bite more people in three feet of water.

Statistics must be given the whole range of possibilities for correct observations to be accurately evaluated.

Now as far as divorce or the knife wielding spouse, that is a different part of the story!

Awwwww, shit! Does this mean I have to give it up??

 

[bknight2602]

That was kind of my first thought! LMAO

I wonder if no one dies while having "marital" sex simply because marital sex is expected, usual, and perhaps boring to some extent?

And "extra-marital" is more exciting, thus you actually NOTICE your heartbeat going up?

Just an thought. I'm contemplating the injustices of the world today, just bear with me and I'll be fine soon.

I was thinking that too

the more exciting angle of it all! Increasing the heart rate, cause it's more exciting!!!



Oh - my heart is fine! My husband had a heart attack almost a year ago - should I be worried????

 

[Shadowann2]

Awwww...damn! Now I have no choice but to give it up! I'm already at risk for heart disease so I don't want to push it!


People shouldn't be doing it in the first place!

People have and will always do it.

Not all, but there is alot.

 

[bknight2602]

No, I was more concerned about the husband in the equation...

hmmmm Does that go toward me also? LMAO

 

[Shadowann2]

People have and will always do it.

*sigh* Trust me I know. I've done it and had it done to me. I learned the hard way all the stress it can cause. It's better to just avoid it and save yourself the trouble!
