Do You Know Too Much Sex May Be Bad For Your Heart?...See Details
Men have been warned to be very careful because scientists have discovered that having too much s*x can be very harmful to your heart.
S*x is good for your cardiovascular health, right? Maybe not if you’re a man over the age of 57 and you’re having too much of it, or enjoying it too much. That’s the surprising conclusion of a recent study published in the September 2016 issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
Analyzing data from 1,046 partnered men and 1,158 women ages 57 to 85 collected at two intervals five years apart, researchers found that while moderate s*x was beneficial for men’s cardiovascular health, those having s*x one or more times a week had nearly double the odds of experiencing a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure than men who were sexually inactive.
“This was a surprise, because the general understanding is that sex is good for people’s health, but what we discovered is that the benefits aren’t the same for everyone,” says lead researcher Hui Liu, an associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University.
Why you shouldn’t worry
The American Heart Association states that although sexual activity is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, the absolute rate is extremely low. Sexual activity, the AHA states, is the cause of less than 1 percent of all heart attacks.
