They say laughter prolongs life. The same can be said about quality sex: it has a positive effect on the emotional state and improves carbohydrate metabolism. But this is not a reason to do it for health when there is no desire. Is sex really necessary for the body and what can replace it?
How dangerous is life without sex?
Sex really has a positive effect on the body. And if you deny yourself pleasure, the body may respond with unpleasant symptoms.
- Libido is fading. Abstinence paradox: the less sex, the less you want it.
- You also get aroused more slowly. The body is weaned from desire.
- Menstruation becomes profuse and even painful.
- There may be pain during sex. All because of the same lack of lubrication, it is more difficult for the body to tune in with a partner. Therefore, after a long abstinence, be patient, and gradually the pain should pass.
By the way, when we talk about the positive impact of sex, we mean sex with orgasms. After all, sex that is not completed by relaxation is no less harmful than prolonged abstinence. The blood flow is restored more slowly, pain may appear. And there is also psychological dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is so important that both participants in the process receive orgasms.
Is it possible to turn sex into marital duty?
Sex really has a positive effect on a woman’s reproductive health. But only if it does not turn into the fulfillment of marital duty. Sometimes girls start having sex «because a man needs it.» But the body does not want to: the woman is not excited, she has dryness and pain may appear.
When the pain becomes constant, the vagina spasms completely and the woman no longer expects anything from sex, except for unpleasant sensations. The muscles of the pelvic floor are compressed when trying to have sex, lubrication is not produced. This can lead to a drop in libido. Sex at the subconscious level turns from pleasure into hard labor.
But pleasure is about desire and acceptance. During sex, you should be as relaxed as possible in order to enjoy the process and get an orgasm. For me, sex is about intimacy and certainly not about duty.
How to replace sex for health?
I often come across the prejudice that a woman needs sex for two reasons: for health or to keep a man. In fact, the main purpose of sex should be completely different — pleasure. And where there is pleasure, there is a high libido.
When your body knows that sex is sure to bring pleasure, libido increases. And this is the only way to love sex — to do it on your own, and always with orgasms. It’s not so much about sex as about orgasms. And even if you don’t have a partner, depriving yourself of pleasure is bad for your health.
Intimate gymnastics allows a woman to prevent many health problems. You can do it both in partnerships and outside of them.
For example, you can independently:
- Perform meditation and breathing practices that remove anxiety and stress.
- Do vaginal stretching and work out spasms.
- Learn to accept your body.
- Pump the muscles of the pelvic floor.
- Study your erogenous zones and learn how to stimulate them and get excited faster.
In women who regularly perform such practices, reproductive problems and pain during menstruation often go away, a lot of lubrication appears, the vagina becomes elastic. And, of course, they regularly get orgasms.
