Would have been interesting to see this normalized to population, and also going back to the 70s when the "war on drugs" started
my initial thought reading that title was 'getting sexed to death is not a bad way to go'
next up: number of sex overdoses by drug type
That's how I read it at first too
I'm not a citizen of USA, but is it true that taking drugs is very normal in US? and that too very harmful ones?
Americans do have the highest death rates in the world due to drug abuse, but I wouldn't say it's "very normal."
Especially deaths from drunk driving. The drunk driver usually survives
Got it thanks
Americans are built different. Drugs are actually for the health conscious there.
The arrival of viagra must have contributed a lot to the rise! I'll have to look into this further. :)
I don't think you can overdose on viagra. Maybe your partner can though.
I think I misunderstood the graph. I thought it was an overdose of sex. I have to change my glasses! Ahhh
Oooh by overdose by the different sexes… got it now too.
No way. Same here.. Took me a second
That's what I was thinking!
HighlightsHighlightsMulticenter design, covering a population of 20 million inhabitants over 12 years.Low incidence affecting mainly middle-aged males during heterosexual intercourse.Cardiac origin, mainly due to ischemic heart disease that remained silent in life.Frequent association with use of cocaine and medications for erectile dysfunction.Relative high of frequency of obesity and performing unusual sexual practices.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379073823003584
priapism and heart attack from excessive vessel dilatation are some of the side effects of viagra. also, pilots cannot take viagra within a few hours of flying, because it causes color blindness, which can be irreversible with chronic use.
Male is double than female? What thrill seekers...
people use drugs as an escape. The loss of 'masculinity' or 'masculine' (manual-labor) well-paying jobs has had a huge impact on Americans.
Sometimes men use the drugs to cope. Women too... but women imo have a much easier time expressing how they feel and addressing their feelings
Nice?
The number of overdoses has doubled since 2015.
IMO, There is less data in the chart. The real figure is even higher.
Go guy! We win this race!
Of course! Guys cannot show weakness, so they hide under drugs. Men are losers when they fail. Women have a much bigger safety net.
Also man like to risk and try more so even on that side its easier to get into drugs.
