What do men need to do after having sex? Sex is a normal requirement of our body, which is beneficial to the body, but at the same time, we should pay attention to sexual health care. So what do men need to do after having sex? The following series will introduce you to relevant knowledge.
What do men need to do after having sex?
Many men may sleep after sex, or smoke afterwards to relieve the excitement and fatigue after sex. But for the sake of health, men must do the following three things after having sex.
1. Drinking water
Don't forget to drink a glass of water after sex. Due to the fact that not only are the sexual organs of both parties in a highly congested and excited state during sexual activity, but almost all body tissues and organs are involved in this special physiological process from sexual excitement to orgasm. It can be said that a satisfying sexual life is equivalent to a moderate intensity of physical exercise. At this point, the body's energy expenditure significantly increases, and the metabolism of tissues and organs is strong. This process consumes a large amount of water, so do not go to bed immediately after sexual activity. You must drink a glass of water to replenish the body's water deficiency, otherwise you will feel tired the next day. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, lack of water at night can also lead to blood concentration, leading to certain diseases. Therefore, do not forget to drink a glass of water after sexual activity.
2. Urination
After having sex, taking a break is the first thing to do. There are many bacteria around the urethral opening in normal women. During sexual activity, due to collision and compression, bacteria can enter the urethra through the urethral opening, and then rise along the urethra to the bladder, ureter, and even kidneys, leading to cystitis and pyelonephritis. Male penile glans, especially the smegma accumulated in the coronal sulcus, also contains many bacteria that can enter the urethra and cause urinary tract infections. Bacteria from both partners' genitals can also enter the other's urethra and cause infection. Therefore, urination after sexual activity is a simple and effective cleaning method. Flushing the urethra with urine can flush away bacteria, thereby reducing the chance of infection.
3. Clean the lower body
Cleaning the lower body after sexual activity is an essential process. Male semen and female vaginal secretions adhere to the external genitalia, especially the female perineum and male scrotum, which are both damp and breathable, providing a good environment for the survival and reproduction of bacteria. After sexual intercourse, cleaning the lower body in a timely manner and wiping it dry with a clean towel can not only prevent external genital infections but also reduce the chances of urinary tract infections. When cleaning the external genitalia, wash from front to back with warm water to prevent perianal sewage from flowing back to the external genitalia and contaminating the genitalia.
