Sex has been proven to be one of the best ways for both men and women to relief stress and relaxes especially at the end of a long, busy day at work. Sex has far more beneficial effects on our health rather than just the effect to cause satisfaction. Knowing all this it is hard to find a reason why to stop having sex even when you are older. Both men and women in their old age have shown to get satisfaction from their sexual experience. However, there are many studies which suggest that the sexual experience can be dangerous for older men. This might be hard to hear but this is not far from the truth. Follow us through our article to find out more about the risks that sex brings for older men!
Why is sex dangerous for old men?
We are not going to lie to you, unfortunately, there are many risks that are brought by sex for older men. Although sex will have the same effect of causing stress relief, relaxation and satisfaction among the other beneficial effects, it will also bring some risks. There is no need to postpone it.
Let’s share what we found during our research!
- According to a study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, men who have weekly sex have reported experiencing more heart problems as compared with men who did not have weekly sex. As you can see for yourself, this study confirms that sex increases the risk of heart problems among older men. Researchers suppose that elderly men are more likely to suffer through a heart attack one hour after sex. The risk of a heart attack is especially increased in men who are not physically active. However, this is not the case for older women. Older women benefit from sex by reducing their risk of hypertension.
- Due to aging men often experience an inability to reach an orgasm or face erectile dysfunction. This often leads to overexertion, exhaustion, and stress.
- Older men tend to use medical supplementations in order to achieve and maintain an erection. Using any kind of medical supplementation for that purpose also increases the risk of cardiovascular problems, especially heart attack.
Although, there are studies which show the many risks which are increased by frequent sexual intercourse among older men, there is still a need for more researchers to be done. Until this topic is cleared the best advice that we could give you is to be careful. If you have any further questions and concerns, you can always ask for help from your doctor whose professional opinion on the matter will always be the best one for you to hear.
Keep in mind that we do not say that you should take a step away from sex forever. But, next time you decide to engage in a sexual intercourse with your partner remember to be careful and leave out any medical supplements from the experience. Also, try and be more physically active. There are various activities that will help you to maintain a good shape while you use the beneficial effects of exercising to maintain fit and healthy.
Conclusion
Although you might though that there is no reason why you should not use the beneficial effects of sex later in life, there are many studies which show a different result. Unfortunately, even though there is a study which shows that elderly men still feel a sexual desire towards their partner, sex, in fact, has been shown to increase the risk of various cardiovascular problems for elderly men. The main problem is that the sexual intercourse is considered to increase the risk of a heart attack later in life.
However, we do not have to jump to conclusions because this topic has not been yet well researched. There is still the need for more researchers to show their work. What is our advice? If you still feel that sexual desire towards your partner, go ahead and express it. But, you will need to be more cautious! Also, you might think that you have a need for any supplementation to achieve an erection, but the fact is that all those medical supplementations increase the risk of a heart attack even more.
