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.

“Out of 1,160 people affected by the outbreak, 25 have succumbed to the disease,” Dr. Balarabe said.
In response, the state government has ramped up efforts to curtail the spread of the infection, which is caused by consuming contaminated water or food.
“The state rescue teams are collaborating with the government to manage and forestall further spread of the dreaded disease,” the commissioner stated.
To address the crisis, the government has ordered the immediate purchase and distribution of essential drugs free of charge to all 18 local government areas of the state.
Dr. Balarabe urged residents to maintain proper hygiene and seek medical attention immediately if they exhibit symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting.
The outbreak has highlighted the need for improved sanitation and clean water access in affected communities, as health authorities work to contain the spread and prevent further fatalities.

Don’t Ignore These Hidden Health Clues In Your Urine
Your body has subtle ways of communicating essential information about your health—and sometimes, one of the simplest clues is the color of your urine.
Urine, which is about 95% water, forms when your kidneys filter out waste and excess water from your blood. Normally ranging from light yellow to amber, it provides insights into your hydration and more.
Changes in urine color, smell, or frequency can serve as early indicators of potential health conditions.
While most color shifts are harmless and temporary, persistent changes could suggest a more significant issue.
“Tracking these signs can be a simple way to monitor hydration and potentially catch health issues early,” says Dr. Jenna Lewis, a nephrologist at Healthline Clinic.
Here’s a guide to what different urine colors might mean for your health:
Clear or Very Light Yellow
This typically shows you’re well-hydrated. While generally a positive sign, consistently clear urine could indicate overhydration, which may lower salt levels in your body.
Light to Medium Yellow
Often considered the “healthy” zone, this shade reflects good hydration without excess water intake.
Dark Yellow to Amber
A darker shade often indicates a need for more water. This is common in the morning or after exercise and can usually be resolved by drinking more fluids.
Orange
Dehydration may lead to orange urine, but other factors can also contribute. High levels of beta-carotene (found in foods like carrots) or certain medications can turn urine orange.
Persistent orange urine might signal liver or bile duct issues, so consult a doctor if it persists.
Pink or Red
While foods like beets or berries can cause pinkish urine, this color can also indicate the presence of blood, possibly signaling kidney problems, infections, or kidney stones. If diet isn’t the cause, seek medical advice.
Brown or Cola-Colored
This shade may suggest dehydration or, in some cases, a more severe issue. Brown urine can indicate liver or kidney problems, or a condition called rhabdomyolysis, where muscle tissue breaks down. Persistent brown urine warrants a visit to the doctor.
Blue or Green
Rarely, certain medications, dyes, or health conditions can produce blue or green urine. While often harmless, persistent blue or green urine should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Cloudy or Milky
Cloudy urine may indicate an infection or excess minerals. It could be a sign of a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or mild dehydration. Sometimes, excess proteins or fats may also cause this cloudiness.
Most changes in urine color are temporary, especially when related to hydration, diet, or harmless compounds. However, experts agree that if unusual colors or symptoms persist, a consultation with a healthcare provider is wise.
“Listening to your body’s signals, even through something as simple as urine color, can offer valuable insights into your overall health,” adds Dr. Lewis.
By keeping an eye on these colors, you can stay on top of hydration and potentially catch health issues early.
