i know that you can die from aids / hiv and diseases, but I mean sex itself.. while you're doing it.

I guess it's technically possible--heightened blood pressure can cause strokes in older partners, which can result in the affected person dying during sex...
However, I think it's a good question--but probably unlikely...anything that could kill you while engaging in sex is probably more a related item from a side effect, like my above example.
I don't think the sheer act of sex could kill you.

not from being "too hard". it just seems that way to the guys. however, because it is physical exertion & does use more of the body than just the genitalia, it is possible to die from sex if the cardio vascular system is not up to the challenge. (that's why you see the warnings on Viagra commericials. )
the most likely reasons to die in the middle of it all, would be a heart attack (too much pumping for the heart to keep up with) or very unlikely, an aneurysm (blood clot) bursting or getting loose & getting stuck in the heart, veins or brain & bursting.
however, unless some medical condition like this already exists in the person, it is highly unlikely for someone to die while making love. especially if you're young.
think about it: how successful as a species would we be if we all had the chance of dying while reproducing? doesn't make much sense, does it? mother nature don't work that way.
when you climax/orgasm, it does feel like you're getting lifted away & carried to some higher plane for a minute or two. and that's a good thing. the french call the climax, the "little death" because to some, the orgasm is so intense, that it feels like they're dying. but don't worry, they don't. i did once have a lover who fainted after every climax. it was weird at first, but i got used to it. have fun making each other faint!

Your question has several answers.
1. Yes, people have been known to die during the act of sex. Those persons had prior health problems (heart, high blood pressure, etc.) Some have died of brain hemorrhage/aneurysm. There are many medical reasons which can cause death.
2. Unprotected sex is possibly the #1 killer of both young and old, male and female, rich or poor. It does not discriminate. "Curiosity killed the cat"...is more than just a saying...it could be someones death sentence.
You sound intelligent. Let that intelligence guide you to make the right choices for yourself and others.

You won't die from the act of sex, unless you have a weak heart or other health condition. You can die from the consequences of sex though, like HIV, syphilis, etc.

If you indulge in unprotected sex with strangers, you are likely to get infected with STD and HIV. If it is STD, it is curable but there is still no cure available HIV, so far. If you stick to having sex with your wife and she does not have any affair, you are safe. If she goes for unprotected sex with strangers and gets infected with HIV, you are bound to get infected too after having intercourse with your wife. Be careful and always have protected sex. Good luck and best of health.

No. Only older people, specially men, can die from having sex - mainly for heart or circulation reasons.
