Numerous factors contribute to cerebrovascular diseases. Among the more significant of those factors is sexual intercourse. In the past 13 years, 14 cases of cerebrovascular disease have been studied. The cases included 13 male subjects and 1 female. Of these subjects, 8 had intracerebral hemorrhage, and 6 had subarachnoid hemorrhage. Results of the studies suggest that the diseases may have attacked as results of sexual intercourse. A most significant point of interest during the studies was that only 3 cases resulted from sexual intercourse with the subject's spouse. All other cases resulted from sexual relation that were extramarital or with prostitutes. The sexual acts were performed in the lovers's dwelling, a hotel or a brothel. Preliminary studies show evidence that promiscuous or indiscrimimate sexual behavior may be a risk factor leading to cerebrovascular disease. More cases must be exposed and studied to give researchers opportunity to statistically determine the causes and nature of these diseases in their entirety, so instructions and countermeasures for their prevention can ultimately be offered.
