Death can occur during consensual sex for a number of reasons, generally because of the physical strain of the activity, or because of unusual extenuating circumstances. There are various euphemisms for death during sex, including “dying in the saddle” or the French “la mort d’amour”.
With the pressure to offer the best sex, most people are left at the mercies of gossip from friends or blue movies and literature for lessons.
But in their endeavour to perfect their game between the sheets, some individuals try all manner of things they heard from friends or read about, most of which, at times, backfire, leading to injuries or complications.
Crazy tales have, for instance, been told of women who, in moments of reckless abandon, ask their lovers to tie them on beds during sex.
Others reportedly ask their partners to slap them around during the act, whilst some demand all manner of oddities like oral or anal sex, in the name of spicing thing up.

Recently an elderly man passed away while having sex with a prostitute or this woman, who suffocated to death during sex game with a cucumber.
Few months ago in India, reckless driving sent a 31-year-old man straight to the cemetery and his 27-year-old girlfriend to hospital in Uttar Pradesh state.
The unnamed man was behind the wheel and having sex with his partner at the same time, when suddenly he lost control of the car.
The vehicle crashed head-on into the oncoming mini-truck, killing the driver at the scene and badly injuring his young lover.
Rajesh Yadav, Gajroula police officer, commented on the incident: “Probably the couple were having sex in the moving car and either didn’t see the truck coming from the other side or couldn’t drive past it.
The driver lost his life immediately after the accident due to grave injuries. The girl, who has a deep gash on her head and a fractured leg, is out of danger.”
Residents of the area rushed to the aid of the duo stuck in a car wreckage and were found naked from the waist down.
