How does regular sex and on the contrary absentism affect the health of an average adult ?
In this article I will examine the 11 main things that happen when you STOP.
We all go through periods of abstention from sex for varied reasons from time to time.
Whether it happens because of a recent breakup or other aspects of your life have gotten in the way, a few sexless weeks can turn into months and, before you know it, you almost don't even miss sex anymore.
The same, however, can't be said for your body. According to recent research, your body can have very real reactions when you stop having sex.
Catching the flu more often than before, to stranger dreams, to really awful period cramps, not having sex for a while can seriously impact your wellbeing.
Here are 10 unexpected ways that your body actually changes when you suddenly stop having sex.
1. You are ill more often
Your immune system actually gets weaker when you're not having sex.
Want to get through the cold and flu season? Make sure you're getting some regularly. This is addition ofcourse to eating well, adequate sleep and exercise.
2. You may Feel more Depressed
According to a recent article in the journal of psychology, skin-to-skin contact between partners can actually regulate your mood thanks to the release of the feel-good hormone oxytocin.
Sex can also boost your spirits through mood-elevating endorphins, which are natural pick-me-ups when you're feeling a little down in the dumps.
3. You Have more Stress
There are a lot of jokes about masturbation being a great stress relief, but that is true for sex too.
According to a 2010 study published in the Journal of Family Psychology, less sex makes way for more stress.
During the study, female college students reported their levels of daily stress and sexual activity several months before a major exam.
Women who had the most stress also had least sex.
4. You Will Hurt during Sex
Prolonged celibacy can cause painful intercourse because your muscles aren't used to having sex.
Once you start having sex again, use a bottled lubricant to help with the pain you may feel down there.
5. Your Dreams Change
One of the strange things that change if you're not having sex is your dreams, according to the aforementioned article.
The interesting thing is that you'll start having sex dreams and even possibly orgasming in your sleep.
6. You Will Experience more Period Pain
Sex really does help alleviate cramps during your period, according to the aforementioned Reader's Digest article.
When the uterus contracts as they do during orgasm, it causes the blood to expel more quickly, which will in turn decrease menstrual cramps.
Endorphins released during sex help alleviate period pains.
7. You Will Fight With Your Partner
According Psychology Today, physical intimacy is important to keep couples connected emotionally. When sex stops, you and your partner may see a drop in relationship satisfaction.
You can blame oxytocin, also known as 'the bonding hormone,' which may be lacking if you aren't being physically intimate. Oxytocin is released by the brain during orgasm.
8. Your Sex Drive May Disappear
Your body might actually stop asking for orgasms if you don't have any for an extended period of time, according to the aforementioned Prevention article.
The lack of lust is just your body protecting itself, but masturbation is a good idea if you want to keep your sex drive at its normal level.
The all natural Asian supplement, Red Ginseng available as a tea or capsules, boostsn your energy and sex drive.
Red Ginseng in addition enhances the release of Nitric Oxide which causes blood vessel dilation that improves erectile function. It also increases sperm production.
9. Your Self-Esteem Might Suffer
According to the aforementioned article, not having sex might make you feel less attractive. This might be because semen has anti-depressant qualities, that's not just a myth.
10. You May Become Less Intelligent
Not having sex may have a negative impact on your intelligence. Two separate studies in rodents found that having sex improved their brain function and the growth of brain cells.
More research is needed, but not having sex may be the reason why you're missing out on a mental boost.
11. You'll Have Less Heart-Health Benefits
A resarch study published in the American Journal of Cardiology in 2010 linked low sex frequency with an increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease.
Sex burns five calories or more a minute, bumps up your heart ♥ rate and sweating gets rid of excess sodium. Sex can be a real workout. Having sex does benefit your heart health.
Bonus: One more reason to have regular sex. Men who ejaculate on average 21 times a month are less likely to develop prostate cancer. This study was published recently in the Journal of the American medical association.
