What will happen to the body if you do not have sex for a year
The consequences can be very serious.
– I read somewhere, if you don’t have sex for a year, you can become a virgin again.
– A very experienced virgin.
Remember this conversation between the two heroines of Sex and the City? The actresses have a sense of humor. In reality, the matter is much more serious. There are a number of unpleasant consequences of prolonged abstinence, which we will now list.
Erection problems
Long-term abstinence is dangerous primarily for men. Due to the lack of sexual activity, the risk of erectile dysfunction develops. In other words, the body is used to restraining, and the arousal simply does not come. So premature ejaculation after a long break is the least of the troubles.
Lowered self-esteem
The brain reacts to the absence of sex, it perceives the lack of intimacy as a signal that a person has ceased to be attractive to others. Self-esteem decreases, and the person slowly slips into depression. Doctors say that semen is a natural antidepressant, it helps to improve mood in the stronger sex. Moreover, this fact prompted scientists to think that the use of condoms and interrupted intercourse become the cause of frequent conflicts between partners. Of course, condoms are the best contraceptive, but if you have a regular sexual partner, then it is better to choose other ways of preventing unwanted pregnancy.
Increased risk of prostate cancer
Urological Association of the USA1 conducted a study, and it turned out that men who experienced a lack of sex were more likely to have prostatitis and were at risk of developing prostate cancer.
Sleep disturbances and altered dreams
Even psychologists are against prolonged abstinence. They believe that not having sex for a year or more causes alienation between partners, decreased libido, as well as disturbed sleep patterns, and alters the content of your dreams. People who do not have sex for a long time experience excitement in their sleep, they see erotic dreams. At the same time, a person begins to confuse reality and a dream and may begin to take pleasure in a dream, and this is fraught with the fact that in ordinary life he will completely abandon love pleasures.
Expert Opinion
Giving up sex shortens your life!
Elena Malysheva also spoke about the lack of sexual activity in one of the programs “Living is Healthy”. It turned out that the less often you make love, the shorter your life becomes! A decrease in sexual activity leads to an increase in an amino acid called homocestine. It damages the walls of blood vessels and atherosclerotic plaques develop. This interferes with the normal movement of red blood cells, thrombosis occurs, and then a heart attack or stroke.
It turns out that sex is not just a center of pleasure for a person, it is good for health and directly affects the duration of your life.
