collapsing and dying on top of women during sexual intercourse, but
only a few often bother to know the reasons such things happen. Many
of us even believe that such occurrences have spiritual undertones,
whereas, this is not always the case. Seye Adeniyi writes on many the
issues involved.
A man in his mid 30s recently collapsed on top of a woman while having
sexual intercourse with her. He was gasping for breath before people
rushed to the scene.
An eye witness, who was one of the people who took the man to hospital
and who also happened to be one of the neighbours to the female lover,
said the man finally gave up the ghost on their way to hospital. But
when an autopsy was carried out on the deceased, the medical report
revealed that the man died as a result of exhaustion because he ran
out of energy and strength during the marathon sex.
Speaking with Your Health, one of the neighbours of the dead lover
said he could not believe all the explanations given by the doctor
that led to the collapse and eventual death of the executive officer,
because the man was hale and healthy when he got to Warri four days
before the ugly incident.
According to the witness, the late executive officer drove in his
Mercedez Benz car from Lagos to Warri, Delta State, without any sign
of illness.
"So how could that young looking, handsome man have just died like
that during love making? I personally believe that the female lover
must have either charmed the man or she must have done something to
the man that eventually led to his untimely death. Therefore, I don't
believe the doctor's explanation of hidden ailments or underlying
diseases being responsible for the man's death," the witness stated.
Narrating her experience with her late lover during police
interrogation, the accused lover said she did not know what happened
to her lover, although she claimed that she saw the man taking some
medications prior to the love making and one of the drugs had an
inscription "manpower" (i.e. viagra) boldly written on it. Ngozi (the
young woman) also explained that there was a picture of a white man
having sexual intercourse with another white woman on the pack of the
drug and her late lover took the drug everytime he wanted to have
sexual intercourse with her.
The case is still with the police and Ngozi is still being detained by
the police, but she will soon be taken to court for prosecution.
But apart from this incident, several other cases of men collapsing
and dying on top of women during sexual intercourse had also been
reported on several occasions in different newspapers.
The big question then is: What could make a man or woman collapse
during sexual intercourse? What are the medical factors that could
make such a thing happen? Does such type of incident or occurrences
have any other interpretation (like spiritual interpretation) since it
is also believed in certain quarters, especially among the
traditionalists, that a juju called Magun in Yoruba (don't climb)
which some men often placed on women, especially those with an history
of promiscuity or infidelity, could also be a major factor of untimely
death for men who engage in sexual intercourse with such "ready"
women?
Your Health sought the opinion of medical doctors, natural medicine
practitioners, as well as spiritualists and herbal drugsellers and
several reasons were given as factors that could be responsible for
such an ugly incidenct.
In Dr. Akin-Odukogbe's opinion, during a chat with him in his office
recently at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State,
the importance of sexual intercourse between a couple cannot be
overemphasised because this is the highest expression of physical love
that two mature individuals, especially a couple, can enjoy. He also
said a satisfactory sexual relationship is expected between couples
because of the fact that satisfactory sexual intercourse makes a lot
of demand on the individual/couples' time, resources and energy.
The consultant obstetrist and gynaecologist said he would rather
prefer the issue to be discussed or X-rayed under the topic: "The
demand of satisfactory sexual intercourse" because of the ethics of
medical profession and for better explanation.
He however explained that sexual activities should not be seen as a
mere issue or joke because satisfactory sexual intercourse requires a
lot of time, resources, as well as deep concentration and anybody who
does not possess these qualities or attributes is advised not to be
involved.
Men, he said, get aroused more easily than women and it means a lot of
energy is required for this exercise. He declared that not having
sexual intercourse has not been found to have any medical effect,
contrary to the belief of some people that not having regular sexual
intercourse or not having it at all cause some discomfort, including
certain illnesses.
"But deprivation of sexual intercourse, especially in a sexually
active individual, either a man or woman, can however cause certain
psychological and social problems. Deprivation or lack of sexual
intercourse between a legally married couple can also lead to
"misbehaviour" in some individuals, but cannot cause any physical
disease or ailment," he further affirmed.
Sexual activities require a spirit of give and take and contributes a
lot to the well-being of individuals and their relationships. Also,
there could be profound physical changes that could happen to the
organs of the body such as the heart, resulting in some health
problems in those individuals who have some ailments in their body and
certain organs.
On how sexual intercourse can affect a man, to the extent of leading
to death, Dr. Akin-Odukogbe said, for instance, heart attacks and
possible death or fatal heart problem/attack can result at the height
of sexual activity because of the strain on the heart, which can be
likened to a person running an olympic 100-meter race without adequate
preparation or training.
Other factors that can make a person collapse and die during sexual
activity, as explained by the doctor, include breathing or bleeding
into the brain, stroke, among others. An individual with a
heart-related problem or illness who engages in marathon sexual
intercourse can also experience fatal heart failure and that is why
those with heart problem or hypertension should be careful to avoid
sexual intercourse/activities that could exhaust their energy.
According to other doctors like Dr. Kayode Akinyemi, Dr. Akin Dairo of
the Faculty of Public Health, University of Ibadan and Dr. Oye
Babatunde, the use of sex-enhancing drugs (e.g viagra) which many
people often referred to as manpower, which can be in various forms,
either orthodox and herbal, portends danger for the users, especially
men with high blood pressure or other heart-related-diseases. The
doctors said it has now become common in our society today to see men,
including the big executives, using sex-enhancing drugs to boost their
weak libido anytime they want to "meet" a woman.
"The truth is that many people today are experiencing or battling with
low libido which is affecting their sexual performance because of many
reasons among which are stress, fatigue and overwork. Some men are
losing their strength, there are high cases of low or weak penile
erection among men; there is an increasing rate of frigidity (sexual
coldness) among some women, as well as cases of erectile dysfunction,
all of which are traceable to many factors.
Men should be careful about the rate at which they use "manpower" or
sex-enhancing drugs because regular use of such drugs can overwork the
heart, exhaust their energy and lead to sudden collapse, heart failure
and brain stroke during intensive sexual activity.
It should also be noted that not eating well before engaging in sexual
activities can have serious effects on the body organs, especially the
brain and heart because sexual intercourse involves the brain to a
greater extent.
The use of alcohol to enhance sexual performance is also dangerous,
just as hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) can also lead to collapse
during sexual intercourse. Many people believe that drinking great
quantities of alcohol before sexual intercourse will help them. Such
people should know that it is a lie, hence they should choose between
their heart (life) and enjoyment.
The same thing goes for some herbal products which many people are
fond of drinking. Apart from their effects on the heart and brain, the
alcohol used in their preparation can also cause kidney and liver
problems like liver cirrhosis, kidney failure, among others.
Sexual activities require a light and health body, devoid of any
disease or energy-boosting drugs or sex-enhancing medication. "It is
also true that certain herbal concoctions are meant for libido
boosting. There is no point denying this fact, but the truth is that
their abuse can have serious effects because any sex-enhancing drug is
an aphrodisiac which can affect the heart as well," advised Dr.
Nurudeen Animasaun and other herbal doctors.
Moreover, it is not only those with heart problems that should be
careful to avoid vigorous sexual intercourse. People living with
diseases like diabetes, kidney disorder and other serious medical
problems, including those with the blood genotype of SS, should also
be careful to avoid vigorous, energy-sapping, marathon, sexual
intercourse. Their conditions can predispose them to exhaustion and
this may affect their heart and brain.
Professor Femi Soyinka, a medical expert and a HIV/AIDS prevention
crusader, once said 80 per cent of men lose their sense; when it comes
to sexual intercourse and anything can happen to a man on top of a
woman, including contraction of the Human Immuno Deficiency Virus
(HIV), especially in the case of those with multiple sexual partners.
Explaining further, he said "there are some men who lose their senses
when it comes to sexual activities or intercourse, to the extent that
they may even forget to wear condoms to perform the act, forgetting
that HIV/AIDS is real. Therefore, anything can happen to a man when it
comes to sexual intercourse," he stated.
Above all, men should be careful not to lose their life on top of
women and so should women. We should know that our state of health
matters most before we engage in marathon sexual intercourse. May we
never go back to our Creator through the same "canal" from which we
came to the world.
