How common is it for people to die while having sex?

Albert Brooks in Private Benjamin is the only one I am aware of.

I almost killed some woman having sex once.  It turns out she had heart issues she didn't know about, and was about to pass out.  Of course I am being dramatic, she probably just would have passed out had we not stopped.  She had a doctor appointment a week or so later and found out about the heart issues.

I was just thinking about this again for some reason, and thought I would try and find out the answer.

Yes, sex can kill you, U.S. study shows

By Julie Steenhuysen

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Sudden bursts of moderate to intense physical activity -- such as jogging or having sex -- significantly increase the risk of having a heart attack, especially in people who do not get regular exercise, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

Doctors have long known that physical activity can cause serious heart problems, but the new study helps to quantify that risk, Dr. Issa Dahabreh of Tufts Medical Center in Boston, whose study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The team analyzed data from 14 studies looking at the link between exercise, sex and the risk of heart attacks or sudden cardiac death -- a lethal heart rhythm that causes the heart to stop circulating blood.

They found people are 3.5 times more likely to get a heart attack or have sudden cardiac death when they are exercising compared to when they are not.

And they are 2.7 times more likely to get a heart attack when they are having sex or immediately afterward compared with when they are not. (These findings do not apply to sudden cardiac death because there were no studies looking at the link between sex and cardiac death.)

Jessica Paulus, another Tufts researcher who worked on the study, said the risk is fairly high as such studies go. But the period of increased risk is brief.

“These elevated risks are only for a short period of time (1 to 2 hours) during and after the physical or sexual activity,” Paulus said in a telephone interview.

Because of that, the risk to individuals over the course of a year is still quite small, she said.

“If you take 10,000 people, each individual session of physical or sexual activity per week can be associated with an increase of 1 to 2 cases of heart attack or sudden cardiac death per year,” Paulus said.

Sex is good for you. You should be having regular sex.

 Lowers Heart Attack Risk

A good sex life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen and testosterone levels in balance.

“When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease,” Pinzone says.

Having sex more often may help. During one study, men who had sex at least twice a week were half as likely to die of heart disease as men who had sex rarely.

It happened on the TV show, "Mom".

Bonnie and Alvin had just finished having intercourse, but Bonnie still hadn't achieved orgasm.  So Alvin went down under the covers to bring Bonnie home, but right after reaching his target, he had a massive heart attack and died. 

Not a bad way to go.  :)  

But Alvin was a chipmunk, how does that compare to people having sex? And what are you doing watching chipmunk porn?

Common ploy to get rid of PITA actors.

Happens to TV characters all the time.

I doubt if it's too common because heart attacks typically occur in older people and you know what they say:

If you put a penny in a jar every time you have sex in the first year of marriage, then take a penny out every time you have sex after that, you won't run out of pennies.

But what if you are married longer than two years?

Where did the idea come from that people who have been together for more than a year don't have sex?

A healthy sex life equals happiness and a healthy mind and body.

You could have boasted that you boned her to death.

That would be the positive spin, and I did think about that.   That said, I would hate to show up at a funeral where everybody was muttering under their breath "That's the Randomguy that banged her to death".  I would expect single ladies at the funeral to introduce themselves to me after, though.
