A Japanese man almost cut his life short through masturbating after he suffered stroke moments after ejaculating. 

The unnamed 51-year-old man was said to have been a habitual masturbator, doing it  several times a day.

The man was rushed to hospital suffering ‘thunderclap’ headaches and vomiting.

Doctors detailed the ordeal in a medical case report published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases mentioning how he was disorientated and had low blood pressure common symptoms of a stroke.

Following a CT scan it was uncovered that the man had had a subarachnoid haemorrhage – when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.

The particular stroke that the man suffered can be triggered by having sex, coughing and even going to the toilet. 

Luckily for the man his indulgence only landed him a 2 week hospital stay rather than a nap in a dirt box leaving “in an excellent condition”.
