Men Who Cheat On Their Wives Are More Likely To Die Of Cardiac Arrest During Sex

[n2doc]

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff

Sexual intercourse, generally speaking, is very safe for the heart. It’s possible it may even be good for you. But some people do die of heart attacks or sudden cardiac arrest during sex. And almost all of those people are older married men cheating on their wives with younger women in unfamiliar surroundings.

I came across this fact while reading Heart 411: The Only Guide to Heart Health You’ll Ever Need, by Marc Gillinov and Steven Nissen, both high-ranking cardiologists at the Cleveland Clinic. They wrote:

Men with coronary heart disease do need to follow the rules. When heart attacks occur during or after sex, they almost always involve older men I extramarital affairs with young women. For those men, it would have been safer to stay at home and burn off excess energy on a treadmill in the basement.

Woah. Skeptical, I wrote Nissen, best known for stirring up controversy over drugs like GlaxoSmithKline‘s Avandia and Merck‘s Vioxx (both now withdrawn), and asked him to back that statement up with some data. Almost instantly, he sent me two scientific papers.

1. I believe this! A friend of my parents had a heart attack during sex while cheating on his wife

He was in his 30s, married, dad of a kid about 8, yet a regular philanderer, and was in bed with some unmarried woman he had been after for a long time. They had had a lovely dinner, landed in the sack at a hotel he'd rented for the purpose, and after sex he was relaxing, almost asleep, when suddenly, WHAM! He began to feel something very bad, very bad happening to him.

Long story short, he was rushed by ambulance to the hospital, where his wife found out he'd just suffered post-coital cardiac arrest. The wife rushed to his side and took care of him in the hospital. When he was about to be released, she picked him up from the hospital and (surprise!) delivered his nasty, cheating ass to his mother's house, for his mom to take care of him, then she had his clothes and private things delivered there as well.

They ended up divorced, and his son refused to see him ever again.

Is that the end of the story? Hell no. He re-married, did it again, and AGAIN had another heart attack while cheating.

What is that quote about insanity? That insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results?

9. My goodness- what a story!

yes, insane.

Or this is how he wanted to die.

11. Well, he's still alive, so I think he's got the soul of a cat. 9 lives. nt

2. Ask Nelson "Dead Weight" Rockefeller...oh wait, he died in the act. Ask Megan Marshack, then!

She got a lovely townhome in the will.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megan_Marshack

IIRC, she fled the scene in a negligee and a fur coat!

I wonder if Mister Pamuk of Downton Abbey fame had a bride back home in Turkey....?

Loved this bit....

It’s also one more reason to heed the dictum coined by actor Paul Newman: Don’t go out for a hamburger when you’ve got the steak at home.

10. maybe he did (mr Pamuk...) (nt)

3. Hillary needs this embroidered on a nice pillow for Bill.

And I'm thinking buttons, tee shirts....

4. This will not serve as a deterrent; men dream about going out while "in the saddle".

5. Yikes.

I do not condone adultery, and this can be one more reason why.

6. More likely...

More likely to die of gunshot wounds too, I bet...

7. I read the headline to my husband, and he said,

"Why the hell are you searching for that stuff?"

I had to explain that it's just on the Health group on DU

he so badly wants to go this way. he'll hate that he will have to leave home. maybe i will just have to up my game. (he just got a promotion. the only money attached was more life insurance, so ;P.)
