Ximen Qing was killed by aphrodisiac

There is a classic erotic novel in ancient times called "Jin Ping Mei". In the novel, there is a character named Ximen Qing who had sex with his mistress Pan Jinlian in exchange for aphrodisiacs. But just as the battle was in full swing, Ximen Qingque suddenly died. From today's scientific perspective, Ximen Qing actually died from a sexual accident - sexual impotence.

Who doesn't know Ximen Qing? Whether in "Water Margin" or "Jin Ping Mei", he is a romantic and handsome man with beautiful women on both sides, which makes thousands of men envy, jealous and hate him; but he is also notorious for his bad deeds, and is condemned by thousands of people and will be infamous for thousands of years. However, the ending of Ximen Qing in "Jin Ping Mei" is very different from the description in "Water Margin". In "Water Margin", Ximen Qing seduced Pan Jinlian, murdered Wu Dalang, and was finally killed by Wu Song in the Lion Tower. This is the version that everyone is familiar with. But what many people don’t know is that Ximen Qing in the masterpiece "Jin Ping Mei" did not die at the hands of Wu Song, but died in Pan Jinlian's bed.

In other words, Ximen Qing was having a blast!

However, Ximen Qing in "Jin Ping Mei" "drank together" at his mistress Wang Liu'er's house, and "huggled each other". When he returned home, he was so drunk that "his legs were weak when he got off the horse, and he was helped in by both hands". After entering Pan Jinlian's room, "he fell on the kang and snored loudly, and no matter how much we shook him, he would not wake up." However, Pan Jinlian was "burned with desire and lust," so she forced him to take an aphrodisiac. But just when the romance was at its peak, Ximen Qing suddenly "fell into a coma, with his limbs unable to move", and only woke up later. The next morning, "I got up early to comb my hair, and suddenly I felt dizzy and rushed forward." The illness he suffered from became increasingly severe day by day, and finally "he gasped for half the night, and at the end of the night, he died with a loud bang."

Why did Ximen Qing die? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian were enjoying themselves, one of the most serious sexual accidents occurred - impotence syndrome, which can often cause sudden death. Although Ximen Qing managed to survive, he ultimately failed to escape the disaster.

Modern medicine believes that during sexual intercourse, the human neuroendocrine system is highly excited, which is often accompanied by a feeling of suffocation, adding to the dream-like sexual pleasure, but in fact, this is a kind of brain hypoxia. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, if sexual excitement exceeds physiological limits for too long, brain hypoxia will worsen and autonomic nervous system will lose control, which can cause respiratory depression, cardiac arrest and loss of consciousness. They usually begin to feel sudden dizziness, chest tightness, pale face and then pass out.

According to statistics, 500 to 1,000 people die from sexual impotence in the United States every year. Although there are no accurate statistics in our country, it does exist. Most of the deaths are male, both young and old. The incidence rate is higher when having sex after drinking, having sex outside of marriage, or when there is a large age difference between men and women. The most common diseases that cause sudden death are coronary heart disease and hypertension, but some people seem healthy and do not have any obvious symptoms. There is also an interesting statistical result showing that this situation occurs most frequently in spring. It seems that the ancient term "spring" is indeed very reasonable.

Statistics also show that sudden sexual death often occurs during extramarital sex. Because improper sexual relations are more likely to cause excitement than normal sexual life between couples, leading to an increased release of catecholamines in the blood; at the same time, extramarital sex is subject to greater psychological pressure than usual, which is also a trigger for sudden sexual death.

In "Jin Ping Mei", Pan Jinlian had been married to Ximen Qing as a concubine, but she was secretly having an affair with Wang Liu'er. Therefore, when he went home and slept in Pan Jinlian's bed, he was powerless and had to rely on aphrodisiacs to help him. Under the influence of the drug, Ximen Qing's "beastial nature was aroused" and he was completely immersed in it. Some of his physical alarms were masked by the extreme excitement, and he ended up with a "death of pleasure".

Although it is said that "To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost", I believe that no one would want to report to "the other side" in advance, even to be a romantic ghost. Therefore, we must be extremely careful in our daily lives to prevent the occurrence of impotence or sudden sexual death.

1. Avoid extramarital affairs and avoid excessive mental stress.

2. Have a moderate sex life. Conduct sexual life according to the age and energy of both spouses, avoid excessive frequency, vigorous movements, or prolonged duration. Gentle movements such as hugging and caressing before and after sex can also produce or enhance sexual pleasure and prolong the duration of excitement.

3. Avoid sexual intercourse when you are tired. Lie flat on the bed and rest for a while after sex. Do not rush to eat, take a bath or do other activities.

4. Adhere to the old saying of "don't enter the house after drinking". It is also not advisable to have sex immediately after eating a full meal, drinking coffee or smoking a lot.
