 @b870d4c8 dude. I’ve been to a few of those. It’s definitely not just a wives tale. Also, having a heart attack in the middle of sex is a biggie too….Russia is in over their head. 
 @64166093 yes! I heard about the numbers and it's so shocking what a combination of cold, age, effort and patriarchy will do to a body. 

Thank you for attending those emergencies 🌈

Now, what would be the geopolitical equivalent of death from sex? Maybe the enthusiastic political union between Egypt and Syria in the 1960s that ended in disaster? 
 @b870d4c8 *although I should say I’m not sure if sex is the only factor. Drugs and/or mistresses also may be a factor involved. 
 @64166093 it seems like the common thread is overconfident older men who think they are indestructible.
