The study is completely digital. Men and women who recently had an MI will be invited through a written brochure that will be present in all Norwegian departments of cardiology. Post-MI patients can check the investigators web site (www.sefh.no) to determine whether they are eligible for the study. After consent and answering the baseline questionnaire, each participant will be randomized to either the intervention or control group. Control group: Standard surveillance after MI (no specific focus on sexual activity and functioning) Intervention group: Online sexual counselling including a short information film. In order to assess the generalizability of the results, we will compare the age, sex and MI treatment of the respondents with data on Norwegian MI-patients in general.
