Can Consensual Adultery Lengthen Your Life?

Dr. Lenore R. Zohman, a cardiologist of New York's Montefiore Hospital, reported that a majority of men who die during intercourse do so while engaging in extramarital sex. Sounds a lot like downright bad luck. Imagine your spouse finding you dead and naked while on top of someone else. At least fate got to you before your wife did. Or perhaps the victims didn't know that adultery can be fatal if it is combined with fear, anxiety or guilt. Or with heavy drinking. As a physician, I many coronary patients who enjoy adultery and whose condition has actually improved because they engage in consensual adultery.
