Consequences Of Extreme Sexual Activity For Men
One characteristic of sexual behavior is the vocalization of pleasure, particularly when a woman expresses her desire for deeper penetration.
This has been likened to a “ringing tone” of sexual satisfaction, signifying a woman’s enjoyment during intercourse. Men often derive a sense of fulfillment from hearing such sounds, which validate their sexual prowess.
However, while these moans may enhance the sexual experience, they can also have serious health consequences for both partners. Exhaustion from prolonged and intense sexual activity has been known to cause fatalities in men.
In some cases, men found dead in their sleep may have succumbed to the after-effects of vigorous sexual encounters that included the plea for harder, deeper thrusts. Nevertheless, admitting to such a cause of death remains a difficult issue.
Go Harder with Wisdom
The act of sexual intercourse can be physically taxing, particularly for men. Recent research indicates that sexual activity can put a strain on the male heart. During sex, the heart rate increases and the body requires more oxygen, causing the heart to work harder and beat faster to meet the demand.
Blood pressure may also slightly rise, similar to the effect of exercising on a treadmill. However, after orgasm, the heart rate and blood pressure return to normal levels, and dopamine is released, creating a sense of relaxation and stress relief commonly associated with sex.
It is essential for men, particularly husbands, to exercise caution when it comes to sexual performance. The desire to go harder can be tempting, leading to the use of sex enhancers to impress one’s partner.
However, husbands should prioritize their partner’s satisfaction and avoid endangering themselves or their spouses. The pace of sexual activity should be comfortable and satisfying for both partners without the need for performance-enhancing aids.
Couples are increasingly turning to sex enhancers in their quest to go harder and harder with their spouse. The market offers a vast array of options to choose from, with a seemingly endless list of products available. While most of these products are designed to enhance the husband’s erection, this is based on the misconception that the man needs to be the one in control in order to achieve greater intensity during sex. However, it’s important to note that the wife also faces challenges, particularly as she ages, such as vaginal dryness, which can make penetration uncomfortable and difficult.
Hidden Dangers of sex-enhancing drugs
Male sexual enhancement drugs are substances can help many men experience a full and active sex life. However, while these drugs enrich the lives of millions of users, it is important to know that they can be potentially dangerous.
Sex enhancer in the medical world are also known as aphrodisiacs, these can include foods, drinks, or other items.
A case of a middle-aged man and father of three named Samson, who was found dead in a hotel room in Ugboroke, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State in January 2017 highlights the risks associated with these drugs. It’s believed that he died from an overdose of a sex-enhancing drug, which caused him to have an erect penis even after his death. To understand what went wrong, we need to turn to the experts.
Liver & kidney damage
According to the authorities at the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, aphrodisiacs have chemical substances that are dangerous to the body’s vital organs such as liver or kidney. Once damaged, these organs can be difficult to repair, and death may result.
Other side effects of aphrodisiacs include stuffy nose, headaches, stomach pain, upset stomach, nausea, diarrhea, memory problems, back pain, an inability to differentiate between the colors green and blue, loss of hearing, ringing in the ears, and dizziness.
Hypotension
A former NAFDAC Director-General, Dr. Paul Orhii, notes that while aphrodisiacs truly intensify and prolong sexual performance because of increased blood flow to the genitals, it could also result in hypotension — that is a drop in blood pressure. When blood pressure drops, physicians say it is even more dangerous than hypertension, as it takes quite a lot of efforts to restore it to normal level.
Risks of stroke, infertility
Experts warn that if you love to use sex-enhancing drugs, you risk non-communicable diseases such as stroke, cancer, and liver cirrhosis.
Other side effects include the development of fewer red blood cells (anemia), which may ultimately result in dizziness, severe headaches and unconsciousness.
Your prostate gland may also become enlarged, making it difficult for you to urinate.
Regular use of aphrodisiacs may also lead to infertility, and you may be unable to father a child of your own.
Allergic reactions
Sometimes, users of aphrodisiacs may suffer allergic reactions such as irregular heartbeats, loss of vision, hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Loss of sex drive
Another frustrating thing about aphrodisiacs is that, in the long run, they do the exact opposites of what you want them to do! One of such is that they decrease your ability to get erection naturally; and even after prolonged use, your body gets used to it, such that it’s no longer effective. That’s the time people resort to higher dosage, which may lead to death!
Therefore it is very important to be wise, while planning to go harder with your spouse.

The initiative gives Sahara employees the opportunity to attend live football matches at iconic stadiums including Old Trafford in Manchester and Emirates Stadium in London, using shared experiences to strengthen collaboration and a unified One-Sahara culture.
Speaking on the initiative, Bethel Obioma, Head, Corporate Communications, said the fifth edition of the M.A.D with Football initiative reinforces the energy and infrastructure conglomerate’s commitment to entrenching diversity and inclusion across its locations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Obioma said that over the past three decades, Sahara Group has consistently prioritized people as a central pillar of its growth journey, recognizing that culture and connection are critical to long term success.

Sahara continues to invest deliberately in initiatives that recognize effort, reward commitment, and strengthen organisational culture,” he added.

Medical experts have warned expectant mothers against self-medication during pregnancy, stressing that the practice poses serious risks to both the mother and the unborn child.

A family physician, Dr John Ovuoraye, noted that some medications regarded as safe before conception could become harmful once a woman becomes pregnant.
He explained that self-medication increases the risk of congenital abnormalities, some of which may not be detected until after birth.
“Pregnancy changes how drugs affect the body. That is why women should not assume that medicines they have used before are still safe once they are pregnant,” he said.
Experts also cautioned against the use of over-the-counter drugs obtained from chemists or unlicensed drug vendors, warning that some sellers lack the professional training to recommend pregnancy-safe medicines.
International research has further raised concerns about drug use during pregnancy.
A study conducted by the University of Iowa College of Public Health found a possible link between the use of certain cough medications in pregnancy and specific birth defects, highlighting the need for caution.
Dr Ovuoraye advised pregnant women to seek medical care in hospitals rather than treating themselves, even for minor illnesses.
He added that herbal medicines and alcohol should also be avoided, as their toxic effects could harm the developing baby.
Health experts stressed that birth defects linked to inappropriate drug use may include physical deformities, congenital heart conditions and abnormalities affecting vital organs.
They urged expectant mothers to attend regular antenatal clinics, report any health concerns to qualified medical personnel and follow prescribed treatments based on their stage of pregnancy.
Medical professionals continue to emphasise that avoiding self-medication and seeking proper medical advice remain key to ensuring a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.
Akin Ibitoye, Technology Advisor at TMB Tech, has warned Nigerians against the increasingly common habit of sleeping with mobile phones under their pillows or close to their beds, citing serious health and safety concerns.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Monday, Ibitoye highlighted the dangers posed by mobile devices, including disrupted sleep patterns, psychological stress, and the risk of battery explosions due to overheating.
“Do not sleep with your gadget under your pillow. When you sleep with your devices under your pillow, it actually affects you. You don’t know,” Ibitoye said.

He explained that blue light emitted from screens interferes with the body’s circadian rhythm, leading to poor sleep quality, irritability, and long-term health issues.
The physical presence of gadgets in the bedroom also poses risks, especially when they are left under pillows where heat buildup could lead to fire outbreaks.
“These batteries, lithium-ion batteries, can explode anytime,” he warned, referencing viral incidents where phones caught fire during use or while charging. “There’s a reason they’re restricted on airplanes.”
Ibitoye also addressed the psychological impact of constant device use, drawing attention to “doomscrolling,” where users lose track of time while browsing social media.
He encouraged Nigerians to reduce night-time screen exposure and return to traditional alarm clocks to minimize distractions.
“Unless it’s absolutely tied to your work, you can do without your phone,” he stated, urging people to either switch off their devices at night or use airplane mode to eliminate radiation exposure and unnecessary alerts.
He concluded with a stark reminder: “As ubiquitous as technology is, it can be harmful to our bodies with extended usage.”
