(Newser) – Swiss hookers can—quite literally—mend your broken heart. In the Swiss town of Lugano, prostitutes are being trained to use defibrillators to re-start the hearts of their eager but elderly customers. Several men have died doing the deed in Lugano, including a pensioner who recently perished getting busy with the help of anti-impotence drugs. "Having customers die on us isn't exactly good publicity," a local sex club owner tells the Telegraph.
