Why more men die during marathon sex – Experts

Earlier this month, the Kwara State Police Command apprehended a middle-aged man who operates a barbershop in Ilorin, the state capital. He was implicated in the death of a young lady during a sexual encounter. The incident allegedly occurred at a guest house in Temidire community, Offa Garage area, where the man and his girlfriend were relaxing.

According to unconfirmed reports from the community, the man, under the influence of drugs, aimed to impress his girlfriend during the encounter. However, the situation turned tragic when the girl became fatigued, fell unconscious, and eventually passed away. The man raised an alarm, leading guest house workers to rush the lady to a nearby hospital, where she was confirmed dead.

The Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, Okasanmi Ajayi, verified the incident, stating that a thorough investigation had been initiated.

This incident is just one among several cases of deaths occurring during sexual activities. People have various opinions on the possible causes, with some attributing them to supernatural factors or natural causes. Others argue that deaths during sex may be self-induced, particularly for those using sex-enhancing drugs.

Medical experts emphasize the importance of regular health checks, asserting that engaging in intense physical activities, such as sex, without awareness of underlying health conditions can pose risks. Factors like heart-related problems, high blood pressure, and the use of sex-enhancing drugs may contribute to these unfortunate incidents. The experts urge individuals to prioritize their overall well-being and seek medical advice to mitigate the potential risks associated with sexual activities.
