For those who worry that the exertion involved in s-ex is a threat to the heart, the American Heart Association's Scientific Statement on S-exual Activity and Cardiovascular Disease says that having s-ex is safe for people who can exercise with no heart problems in the range of three to five metabolic equivalents (METs).

That's a lot more fun than toiling away on a treadmill.
