Though many have gone before him, his story became a
reference point, no thanks to the trending video. For a few weeks, the lawyer
that died in a hotel while cavorting with a young commercial sex worker was one
of the most widely discussed topics across the country for some time.
Another one that trended was a certain Dayo whose wife was
seen cursing his dead body in a video. “Your wife will survive, your children
will survive while you rot in hell for dying because of a woman”, she blurted
out as she cursed her husband’s lifeless body on the bed.
The unavoidable truth however remains that it is not only
men that die during sex. Two years ago, a 24-year-old man was paraded by the police
in Ogun State. His married lover, a mother of five died while they were having
sex and the young man had a lot of explanations to give to the police.
But what kills people during sex?
Exhaustion: Most
of the time, it is exhaustion that kills people during sex. Not a few sexually
active people forget that the amount of energy required for one round of sex is
the same amount required to run a 100 metre race. If your heart is not strong
enough for it, you may pass on in ‘active service’. Take it or leave it, sex is
not just work, it is hard work. If you doubt its standing as a strenuous
exercise, ask yourself why many people fall asleep shortly after sex.
High Blood Pressure: Millions
of people are hypertensive and are not in the know. That in itself is a recipe
for disaster. As much as sex could make one feel relaxed after having it, the
process that leads to that relaxation is more or less a risky path if you are
hypertensive and you are not aware.
Performance Enhancing
Drugs: In the bid to impress their partners under the sheets, many have
fallen into the lure of aphrodisiacs. Interestingly, they are available to the
rich and the poor. While the rich have it in the form of tablets, capsules and
so on, the average man on the street could have it in the seemingly harmless
concoctions sold by the roadside. Though the seemingly harmless jedi, opa eyin, ale, afato and co
increase the level of desire and could even serve as energy booster, but before
using them, only a few people put their blood pressure into consideration.
We have heard of people dying shortly after sex all because
they had too much of energy drinks. In some countries, before a doctor
prescribes sex enhancers, the patient’s medical history would be considered.
Let me also tell you that you don’t have to die having sex
all because you want to impress a partner. Why die now when there are chances
of having even better sex in days, weeks, months or years to come?
You don’t need any performance enhancer for sex unless
recommended by your physician and that has to be in the case of erectile
dysfunction. It is saddening that many men have died and many more will die
just to satisfy women sexually. Researchers have opined that the average time
for sexual intercourse should be between seven and 13 minutes. Anything after
that might tilt towards excess. People however want it to go on for hours so
they can be labeled as ‘studs’.
If you are having sex and you feel like tired or you feel
like fainting, your body is simply telling you to stop and take some rest. You
would do well to obey it.
So, stay alive for the next round please. Elders in my town have a proverb that I have
taken lessons from; it goes thus “olomi
lo maa re, apere kii kun” (it is the person pouring water that will get
tired, water can never fill a basket).
The questions below may help save you from the unexpected.
Questions to ask yourself
Can my heart bear the stress?
Do I have the stamina?
Am I physically fit for it?
Am I carrying a sexually transmitted infection?
If I die now, what happens to my dependents? Will my family have to bear any shame?
Thanks for this
