For the most part, orgasms are a 100 percent safe form of pleasure. No documented cases have ever been recorded of someone dying from an orgasm. This is not to say that people haven’t died while having an orgasm, but it wasn’t the orgasm that killed them. Some people are known to have had strokes during sex and some have even had heart attacks. The strokes and heart attacks didn’t occur because they had an orgasm. It was due to the physical exertion of sex. Even so, most doctors say sex is fine for most patients with heart conditions.
Two bigger problems concerning deaths associated with orgasms are autoerotic and erotic asphyxiation. Autoerotic asphyxiation is the practice of choking or strangling yourself while masturbating in an attempt to increase the intensity of the orgasm. Erotic asphyxiation is the practice of choking or strangling your partner during sex. Anywhere from 100 to 500 people die in the U.S. every year from autoerotic and erotic asphyxiation accidents. Deaths occur in erotic asphyxiation occur because the partner doesn’t understand exactly how much they are choking their partner. When the death is from autoerotic asphyxiation, what happens is that the person passes out from lack of oxygen. When they pass out, they lose control of whatever they are using to strangle themselves, and it ends up killing them. The first recorded case of this happening was in 1791, when a famous composer, Frantisek Kotzwara accidentally killed himself. More recently, actor David Carradine was found in 2009 hanging in a closet. Doctors said it looked like neither suicide, nor murder. It was most likely autoerotic asphyxiation.
