There are a few explanations as to why this occurs. According to Hui (Cathy) Liu, lead author of the study and associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University, “When men get older, they may have more difficulties reaching an orgasm for medical or emotional reasons. Therefore, they may exert themselves to a greater degree of exhaustion and create relatively more stress on their cardiovascular system in order to achieve a climax, which may hurt health.”
Well, we’ve never heard of orgasms that can kill you! Another potential cause of this? Men taking prescription or over-the-counter medication for sexual dysfunction. It could also have to do with the emotional factors of sex.
“Having quite a high frequency of sex may indicate problems of sexual addiction, sexual compulsivity, or sexual impulsivity — related to psychological states such as anxiety or depression — which may lead to negative cardiovascular health,” says Liu.
While these findings may be worrisome, Liu says that men (and women) shouldn’t be afraid of having sex. Instead, take the proper precautions to ensure your health comes first.
“Moderate frequency of sex is actually good for older men, but high frequency of sex is risky for older men. As for older women, good sexual quality is important for them. I think it is important for older people to understand the potential risks and benefits of sex.”
Whew! That’s a relief.
