A member asked:

Could you die with an erection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

No, but...: At dying, no more circulation to keep up penile erect and rigid is possible so it's "no" to your question. But, it's been known that occasionally men die of heart attack during intercourse, especially while taking nitrate with pde-5i, such as viagra (sildenafil). More? Ask doctor. Best wish...
