Heart attack survivors are rejoicing at a new study’s fantastic good news: sex does not increase the likelihood of having another heart attack! Many survivors were unsure whether the vigorous activity of fucking could trigger another episode, but the new study shows that the activity generated by sex is about the same as climbing two flights of stairs or taking a brisk walk. This means that most survivors of a heart attack can (thankfully) resume sexual activity before too long.
In the study, researchers looked at the timing of the last sexual experience the participants had before the heart attack and found that just 0.7 percent of the people (three people) reported having sex within two hours of having a heart attack. This finding “is in line with observations that sexual activity might eventually trigger a [heart attack] only in a very small proportion of patients,” the researchers reported in the study. The study also showed that many heart attack survivors assume they can’t have sex without getting the necessary information from their doctors. “It is important to reassure patients that they need not be worried and should resume their usual sexual activity,” the researchers said. We can only imagine that this good news is more serious than a heart attack for these survivors!
Feel like partaking in some vigorous activity yourself? No need to exercise caution here!
