Does abstinence also harm health for the long term? What are the hazards of abstinence to the body
Post Date September, 03 2023
In real life, not every couple can have a harmonious and stable sexual life. Some couples are unable to have regular sex for various reasons and do not have sex for a long time. Although this is a personal choice, prolonged abstinence from sexual activity can have many adverse effects, not only affecting emotions, but also affecting physical health.
What are the adverse effects of not having sex for a long time?
1. Affects marital relationships
Asexual marriage is not a healthy marriage model, and although sex is not a necessity in life, it is also very important. If two people are unwilling to have sex, it's okay. If one person is willing to have sex, one person simply refuses, and over time, conflicts will inevitably arise, and even the marriage relationship will fall apart. Sexual activity is not a personal matter, and one should not neglect the other person. When problems arise, one should be brave enough to solve them and not blindly avoid them.
2. Affects sleep quality
Harmonious sexual activity plays a very important role in improving sleep quality. If there is no sexual activity for a long time, the sleep quality of two people will be affected. If there is no channel to vent one's sexual desire, it will affect the hormone levels in the body, affect the nervous system, and cause sleep problems such as insomnia and excessive dreaming, which will affect one's physical health.
3. Affects endocrine function
If the sexual life of two people is very harmonious, the endocrine system will operate normally, be very stable, and there will be no endocrine disorders. If one does not engage in sexual activity for a long time and chooses an abstinent lifestyle, it will lead to endocrine disorders. Not only will you suffer from some diseases, but it will also affect your temper, making you very irritable, affecting your appearance, and causing many skin problems.
4. Affect emotions
The reason why sexual activity is essential is because it can help people relieve stress, relieve negative emotions, and make people feel relaxed. If there is no way to engage in sexual activity for a long time, emotions will become very anxious and low. These negative emotions can accumulate and lead to problems, ranging from affecting daily life to developing illnesses such as depression.
