A woman had to call police to fend off the attentions of her amorous 82-year-old husband after he took Viagra, fearing that he might die of “passion,” The Telegraph reports. The wife, who is also in her eighties, was worried that her husband’s heart could give out because of over-exertion and called officers to their home in the Sicilian city of Palermo, Italy.

Police say the man was “furious” when they arrived insisting that it was a private matter, but the missus reportedly told them otherwise: “So much passion at the age of 82, with all the aches and pains he has, could prove lethal.” The dispute was eventually resolved when other members of the family arrived and police left the scene, according to the newspaper Il Giornale di Sicilia.

Saga, the travel organization that caters to those 50 and older, earlier this year reported demand for the pill was outstripping calls for other drugs on its cruises. Last month, though, Pfizer dropping plans to sell Viagra over the counter in Europe after regulators raised concerns (back story).
