sex and death  

Définition(s)

  • An exploration of the contradictory functions of death and sex indicates the existence of several biological dimensions, including the evolution of sex itself, excess mortality of males, reproductive differences that relate to survival, health benefits of sex, and negative health risks associated with sex. In addition, there are cultural elements, such as survival after spousal death, “terror sex” as a coping mechanism to interpersonal threats, sex after physical death, reproduction after death, and concepts related to sex in the afterlife.
