Some men love sexual marathons. Yet like anything else, too much of a good thing can harm...or even kill.

Men who engage in sex 5, 10--even 15 times daily--run a very high risk of severely shortening their lifespans.

Medical records show that those that approach sex like a marathon runner can expose themselves to a myriad of life-threatening conditions. The 4 greatest risks are presented:

Enlarged hearts

Sex can be very athletic, ask most newlyweds. Keeping physically active is a good thing and as study after study has shown, sex can be a very effective method of staying in shape. It's aerobic in nature and certainly helps tone the body's muscles, including the heart.

But overdoing it--consistently participating in frequent, extremely physical sex to the point of total exhaustion--can lead to an enlarged heart.

Some athletes develop enlarged hearts from consistently pushing themselves to the extreme and passing the point of exhaustion. Such abuse can affect the overtaxed heart muscles and lead to extra muscle tissue developing and the heart literally enlarging to accommodate the extra blood flow and constant demands made upon it.

According to the American Heart Association, one of the causes attributed to enlarged hearts is "a thickening of the heart muscle because of increased workload."

Enlarge hearts pump less efficiently and may eventually lead to congestive heart failure, circulatory problems, and early death.

Free radicals

Another danger that mega-sex men face is the increased amounts of free radicals released into the body by intense physical activity repeated consistently over long periods of time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger discovered this when he studied the body's biochemistry. Taking a scientific approach in his quest to achieve the title of Mr. Olympia, body-builder Schwarzenegger's research led to the discovery of free radicals and their deleterious affect on the body.

Extreme sexual activity over long periods of time will cause excessive amounts of free radicals to be released. Much research has revealed that free radicals cause oxidation of the cells and may be one of the root causes of various cancers.

Prostrate cancer

Some research has suggested that the cause of some prostrate cancers may be a virus. Like cervical cancer in women, a man may be exposed to a virus by repeated sexual encounters with different sexual partners over a long period of time.

Limiting frequent sex to one partner--or a very limited universe of sexual partners--may reduce this risk.

There are several types of prostrate cancer. Whether a virus is the culprit behind any of the known types, however, is still not proved.

STDs

Mega-sex men run significantly higher health risks than those that tend to approach sexual relations with moderation. Those licentiousness Lotharios are much more likely to acquire one--or more--of the dreaded sexually transmitted diseases such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HIV. They may also expose themselves to significantly higher risk of contracting the new, virulent form of TB and the deadlier types of hepatitis.

Although there will always be those men that will assimilate this information, ruminate upon it, and then blurt out, "Maybe it's all true, but hell, what a way to go!" Unfortunately, those men may well be treading a winding pathway fraught with hidden landmines that ends with an early grave.

TAKING AYM

Once during a radio interview, Terrence Aym was asked what motivated him to write. He responded that he writes for two primary reasons: the first is to entertain and inform his readers; the second, writing gives him personal pleasure.

Aym tends towards a heterogeneous style. His goal's often to gather diverse elements or subjects and - using them like a catalyst - create a synergy between them. He believes this approach offers the reader a stimulating new perspective on both older news and breaking news.

Aym has been a guest on US radio stations as well as the featured guest on a premier South African radio show. His articles have been discussed on television and debated on nationwide radio shows such as Coast to Coast AM.

The news media has also discussed and debated Aym's articles and ideas. Some that have featured articles about Aym and his writing include ABC News, TIME, Business Insider, Smithsonian, Nature, Pravda, Salem-News.com, The Nation, Crunchgear.com and more.

Several of Aym's articles have been recently been re-published in foreign languages.

Recently, one of his articles made the syllabus of an LSU course.

Two articles that Aym wrote during the spring and summer of 2010 went viral around the world, caused heated debates on five continents, and were read by millions of people.

Currently, Aym has several book projects underway.

Some print publications Aym has written for include:

Personal Investing News Magazine
Individual Investor Magazine
Online Investor Magazine
Silicon Investor
The Los Angeles Sentinel, a daily newspaper
