Myth: Intercourse could lead to heart attack
Truth: This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, according to a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, men who engaged in ‘bedroom’ activities at least two times a week were less prone to develop heart disease, compared to their less fortunate counterparts who only hit the sack once a month or even less.
Strictly speaking, the risk of suffering a heart attack during intercourse is quite low, according to The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Even if you already have some heart issues, ‘bedroom’ activity requires an effort similar to climbing two flights of stairs or walking a mile. “The possibility of having a heart attack during sexual activity is exceedingly low and shouldn’t scare you away,” says Michael Blaha, M.D., M.P.H., director of clinical research at the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease. “As long as you’re not experiencing any symptoms, it’s not worrisome.”
The climax of this next myth is, it’s not true……
