Did you know that sex can kill?

For many years now, the notion that sex can possibly cause a heart attack has been floating around. According to a new Reuters article, a U.S. study shows that sex, can really kill you.

The American study found that participants, when having sex compared to when they were not, were 2.7 times more likely to get a heart attack.

In a similar 1996 study by a team of Harvard scientists, data suggested that the risk of having a heart attack after sex was doubled for people with a history of coronary heart disease compared to their healthy counterparts.

It seems that more recent research findings have shed some light on this myth. However, most researchers still believe the increase in risk is still very small that it shouldn’t be something that would end your sex life.

This is just another wake up call for all of us to take care of our hearts, no pun intended, and start living a healthy and active lifestyle. We should start seeing being healthy as an incentive for more pleasurable sex.
