What constitutes "death during consensual sex"? See this removal - erotic consensual cannibalism and erotic asphyxiation. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:29, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
There was a death in the case of Judith Beheading Holofernes. Does "sex" include such things as cuddling or beheading after intercourse? Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:37, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn't we limit this to notable people, per WP:LISTPEOPLE? Otherwise this could get out of hand very quickly. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:59, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't have the time, but figured could always add a few more such as Isamu Togawa, Sadads (talk) 14:07, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
And what about the most famous one of all, Catherine the Great? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:03, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
I severely doubt the reliability of the source that claims the French have an euphemism for death during sex called "le mort d'amour", because that is not even grammatically correct - mort is feminine, so it should be "la mort d'amour". What's more, it is not really euphemistic (it basically means "death by love"), and it is completely news to me that it would be an euphemism for death during sex. There are movies and songs called "Mourir d'amour" or "Mourir d'aimer" and none of them refer to death during sex - generally it would refer to one dying (or letting themselves go to waste) from loving the wrong person, either because the love is unrequited or because the relationship is ...unwise. "Amour" can mean sex but in the context of death it always means love as far as I can figure out. The only death-related euphemism that relates to sex that I can think of is "la petite mort". I understand that citability is more important than truth, but either the source is being misreported or they are pulling their French out of their ass. 64.201.173.145 (talk) 12:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
This is a reference to the first episode of the third season of Futurama, where three characters are sentenced to "death by snu snu", meaning death penalty by forced sex. This is not death during consentual sex.

Just in case anyone thinks this needs a #in_fiction section or that we need a Fictional deaths during consensual sex article (which could lead to some interesting ambiguities in scope as well), there's this just to get you started: http://io9.com/5137948/coital-coronaries-and-sexecutions-[nsfw]--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
It says in this article that "Steinheil had lockjaw". However, the Marguerite Steinheil article says: "Legend has it that she was performing oral sex on him when he suddenly died, and that his stiff hands were tangled in her hair," which is more believable. Please correct one of the articles based on a reliable reference. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 08:41, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Albert Speer had a fatal stroke in London in 1981 in the presence of a ladyfriend, while married to Margarete. He subsequently died in hospital IIRC. Is there evidence he had the stroke during sex? Grassynoel (talk) 16:10, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Shouldn't fisting be in the article as a potential reason for sudden death during sex?
Fisting can lead to air embolisms and vessel ruptures whis are fatal. Aminabzz (talk) 03:47, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
