Sexual activity is an integral and relevant part of human life. Not only does it func-tion to preserve the human species but it also has an impact on the mental, physical and social health, and on the quality of life. This editorial, written from a medical (cardiology and exercise/sports medicine) and physiological perspective, discusses the potential role of sexual activity in the domain of exercise and its relationship with cardiovascular morbidity and mor-tality. Benefits and risks of an active sexual life for both healthy subjects and cardiac patients, as well as the potential impact of drugs for treating erectile dysfunction in this scenario, are also briefly covered.
