Hmmm. How does one say "that's not remotely accurate" without coming across as being a dick? I guess you just say it.

That's not remotely accurate (lest you forget you're speaking to someone in the healthcare business).

Anyone with congestive heart failure, severe murmurs, valve problems, or COPD would be restricted in terms of physical activity, including sex. That encompasses a lot of people who are nowhere near death.

So are you saying that people with those issues don't have sex even though they want to?
You said restricted to a life of NO SEX. (you have now changed it to "restricted in terms of physical activity") Maybe reduced, sure, but we both know most people don't listen, and to go out having sex is a pretty nice way to go. I have known people with CHF, COPD, and valve problems which included replacement. Only one had sex issues, but he took viagra (valve replacement). So not all that have those issues need to give up sex.
If you are changing your comment to say "may restrict sexual activity" then I will agree.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm saying people with the heart ailments I listed are typically resticted by their cardiologists from having sex, or any other type of physical activity that may raise the blood pressure and heart rate in a similar manner. It's simple, the heart isn't working right, so don't work it too hard.
