In a recent interaction with journalists on July 18, 2025, Dr Apostle Samuel Amagashie, the head of Amagashie Herbal, issued a word of caution to men about certain sexual practices that could pose serious health risks.
Speaking during the media briefing, Dr Amagashie highlighted that while sexual intimacy is vital for a healthy relationship, some positions may have unintended health consequences if not approached with care.
He specifically singled out the popular doggy-style position as potentially dangerous for men.
According to the renowned herbal health practitioner, engaging in the doggy-style position could increase the risk of suffering a stroke.
He explained that the position may put excessive strain on the heart and blood vessels, especially in men with underlying health conditions such as hypertension.
Dr Amagashie urged men to prioritize their health by choosing less strenuous positions that do not overly tax the cardiovascular system.
He advised couples to communicate openly and adopt practices that ensure both pleasure and safety during intimacy.
The head of Amagashie Herbal also emphasised the importance of regular medical check-ups, healthy dieting, and the use of approved herbal remedies to maintain good sexual and overall health.
He warned against ignoring early signs of fatigue or discomfort during intercourse.
Dr Amagashie’s statement has sparked discussions among the public, with many praising him for shedding light on a topic often considered taboo.
He encouraged the media to continue educating the public about safe and healthy sexual practices.
He concluded by reminding men that pleasure should never come at the cost of their well-being and urged them to seek professional advice when in doubt about their sexual health.
