Rising deaths of men during sex linked to misuse of enhancement drugs

Experts cite pressure to satisfy mistresses as major health risk

Psychologists, lecturers call for restraint, medical checks, and marital contentment
Amid a disturbing rise in reported cases of Nigerian men dying during sexual encounters—often in hotels with mistresses—health experts and social commentators are raising alarm over the misuse of sex-enhancing drugs and a growing culture of performance pressure.
Recent high-profile deaths, including that of Dr. Olabode Abimbola Ibikunle of Kogi State University and a Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) staff, Mr. Louis Nwachukwu, have intensified public concern. Both reportedly died during sex romps with women who were not their spouses.
Clinical psychologist and mental health therapist Mcfredericks Akor Edache told Daily Post that many men engage in dangerous sexual enhancement routines to impress partners, especially mistresses, at the cost of their health.

“Men naturally sleep after sex because it is exhausting. Taking enhancement drugs overstimulates the body—causing prolonged erections, delayed orgasm, and reduced blood flow to vital organs, which may trigger fatal outcomes,” Edache said.
He warned that the overuse of these drugs forces the heart to work harder, especially in men with undiagnosed heart conditions.
Edache advised that foreplay, not drugs, is the key to mutual satisfaction and that men should stop feeling threatened by unrealistic sexual expectations.
Kwara State lecturer Hassan Alowonle echoed similar views, noting that “from pleasure to grave” has become a growing phenomenon in Nigeria.
He emphasized that sexual activity is a form of physical exertion and should be approached with caution, especially by individuals with heart disease or high blood pressure.

“Some men fantasize about sex to the point where excitement becomes excessive force. Add performance-enhancing drugs to that, and you have a ticking time bomb,” he said.
Divine Mike Akor, a chemist and public affairs analyst, said the rise in hotel-related sex deaths is often tied to infidelity and moral recklessness.
He blamed societal pressure, fantasy-driven expectations, and easy access to enhancement drugs for the trend.
“Many of these men use substances to impress young, sexually demanding women who are total strangers. Some of these women could even be diabolical. It’s a careless risk,” he warned.
He also questioned why such deaths rarely occur with wives, implying that the psychological pressure to prove strength in extramarital encounters adds a dangerous layer of risk.
All three experts called for increased sexual health education, routine medical fitness screening before sexual activity, and a return to moral values. They advised men to practice contentment, avoid performance enhancers, and prioritize their health over short-term thrills.
