Apparently attraction can be fatal!<\/p>\n<p>Researchers attribute the stress of keeping the affair secret, wining and dining with excessive alcohol and eating, and keeping up with a younger woman as contributing factors but aren&#8217;t exactly sure why death by adultery occurs. When the Center for Disease Control and Prevention looked at autopsies of over 5500 people, they found extramarital affairs among those who died in sex to be a factor 75% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you need a reason to end that affair and be faithful to your wife, how does avoiding cardiac death sound?
