Have you recently parted ways with your partner or are you just too busy? Maybe work and small children make you instantly turn off in the evenings as soon as your head touches the pillow? The reasons for the lack of sex can be different. The consequences for all will be the same and not very pleasant.
A few days of a break turn into weeks, and weeks into months. At first, there is simply a slight lack of sex, and then it becomes something familiar, an integral part of life. We begin to notice not only strange emotional reactions, but also tangible physical problems. Lack of sex doesn't just make us a little bitchy. It threatens very real diseases.
Immunity decreases
Dr. Cory B. Honickman believes that the immune system weakens as soon as we stop having sex for a long time. Studies show Melissa Pillote. Sex And Its Positive Effects On The Immune System, The Brain, And Pain Management . that in people who have regular sex lives, immunity is higher by 33%.
Stress levels increase
Sex increases the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness . Accordingly, the absence of this act suspends this pleasure factory and increases the level of stress. Research Stuart Brody. Blood Pressure Reactivity to Stress is Better for People Who Recently Had Penile – vaginal Intercourse Than for People Who Had Other Or No Sexual Activity . conducted at the University of Paisley (UK), show that people after ordinary sex deal with stressful situations much better than practicing other forms or abstaining.
The content of dreams is changing.
During sexual abstinence, people often start having dreams of a sexual nature. Sometimes they are so realistic that you can get an orgasm. Since sexual life does not add up in reality, why not try your luck in a dream? Of course, dreams are only a faint echo of the present, but better than nothing.
Decreased libido
Dr. Honikman notes that as a result of prolonged sexual abstinence, sexual desire is also reduced. Why torment an already tortured body if sex still does not shine? It's quite normal. Natural reaction during periods of calm.
Alienation appears between partners
A break in sexual life can not only reduce libido, but also lead to a cooling of feelings. Moreover, the lack of sex is quite noticeable. Those around you at a subconscious level receive a signal that, if you are attractive to a person, can encourage him to begin to show interest in you and move on to more active actions.
Self-esteem decreases
You may begin to feel less attractive. It is believed that sperm is a kind of natural antidepressant. Her lack can also lead to a deterioration in mood. This applies not only to those who have taken a forced break, but also to partners who prefer condoms as a means of protection. Of course, condoms need to be used. But if you have a regular partner or husband / wife, you can use other contraceptives.
Increased risk of prostate cancer
Research Jennifer Rider, Kathryn Wilson, Rachel Kelly, Erika Ebot, Edward Giovannucci, Lorelei Mucci. Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer: Updated Results from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study . conducted by the American Urological Association, prove that the longer the interruption in sexual activity in men, the higher the chance of prostatitis or prostate cancer.
The walls of the vagina weaken and the risk of developing gynecological diseases increases
Sex for women is like training for skittle muscles . Ladies, if for some reason you have no sex, give yourself at least a light workout.
In addition, stagnation of blood in the pelvic area can be a consequence of prolonged abstinence, which threatens the development of diseases such as adnexitis and mastopathy.
Hormonal malfunctions occur
Another unpleasant consequence of sexual abstinence for both men and women.
In the female body, the amount of male hormones increases, which leads to skin problems (rash, dryness). Premature wrinkles may also appear. Having sex stimulates collagen production AO Abubaker, PC Hebda, JN Gunsolley. Effects of Sex Hormones on Protein and Collagen Content of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc of the Rat . which makes the skin supple. No sex - hello, premature aging!
Men also have skin problems in the form of a rash, and an overabundance of male hormones can cause outbreaks of aggression Nigel Barber Sex, Violence, and Hormones . and the appearance of obsessive thoughts.
In addition to the above, a long break in sexual life can also lead to obesity (attempts to seize grief and enjoy), alcoholism, insomnia, chronic pain and the appearance of hair in undesirable places in women.
The only positive point of abstinence is the absence of sexually transmitted diseases. But this is a rather dubious plus if you have a regular partner for a long time, right?
