SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

Another change is in a man’s blood pressure. As sexual tension uses, so does the blood pressure, reaching the peak at orgasm. At the peak, the man’s blood pressure may be one and a half times as high as in his sexually unstimulated state.

The finding that both a man’s heart rate and his blood pressure rise during sexual intercourse has occasioned some anxiety about the effect of sex on a man recovering from a heart attack or from a mild stroke. The problem has been investigated in some detail by Dr Hellerstein and Dr Friedman.

They have found that the increased heart rate, the raised blood pressure, and the increased rate of breathing put an extra strain on the heart of a man who has had a heart attack, but it is not more than that caused by mild exertion. When a man who has had a heart attack is able to take mild exertion, such as walking up a flight of stairs, without any problems, he can enjoy sex without any anxiety.
