Four major adjustments must be made to sex in autumn

Every autumn rain brings a chill. The recent widespread drop in temperature has made many people feel the chill of autumn, and their sex life has also been affected to some extent.

Question 1: Temperature drop affects sensitivity

Lower temperature will slow down blood flow and affect the skin's sensitivity to external stimuli, especially for women. In addition, when it gets colder, people wear more clothes and their skin contact decreases, which may make sexual stimulation such as caressing, hugging, and kissing less effective than before.

Adjustment method: Taking a hot bath before sex can help restore body temperature and increase sensitivity. In addition, it is recommended to increase the foreplay time and couples can massage each other, which can not only eliminate "autumn fatigue" but also help warm up.

Problem 2: Dry weather causes vaginal dryness

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn is the season of "dryness". The air is dry at this time, which can easily cause a large loss of body fluids. This can manifest itself in sexual life as vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness is a more prominent problem especially during women's physiological periods, such as before menstruation, during pregnancy, and during breastfeeding. It not only affects the mood and pleasure of sexual intercourse, but may also cause pain and injury.

Adjustment method: Keep a bottle of lubricant at the bedside in case of emergency. The husband should fully mobilize and stimulate the woman's emotions, because low mood will further reduce vaginal secretions. Supplementing with B vitamins and eating more fruits and vegetables can also help alleviate the symptoms.

Question 3: The prostate gland is prone to "catching a cold"

The temperature difference between day and night is large in autumn, and it is easy to catch cold, which will affect prostate function. Clinically, autumn is the peak season for prostate diseases, because the cold weather increases the excitability of the sympathetic nerves, causing the prostate gland to contract, the gland ducts and blood vessels to dilate, resulting in chronic congestion, aggravating the accumulation of prostatic fluid, leading to attacks of prostate diseases, or aggravating the symptoms of existing prostate diseases, manifested as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and symptoms such as soreness and discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum.

Adjustment method: Men should have sex within their ability, pay attention to keeping warm, and add or remove clothes when appropriate. During sex, clothes should be taken off late and put on early. You can keep your clothes on to enjoy foreplay before sex, and cover yourself with a thin blanket in time after sex.

Problem 4: Lack of sexual desire and fewer sexual intercourses

Sexual apathy is the most common sexual problem in autumn, because people's sexual desire decreases in autumn and the frequency of sex decreases accordingly. If it is not properly adjusted, it may cause conflicts between couples.

Adjustment method: The number of sexual intercourse in autumn cannot be compared with that in spring and summer. You should learn to restrain and control your desires, and the number of sexual intercourses per month should be reduced by 1 to 2 times. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine also recommends that people should "go to bed early and get up early" in autumn to preserve their yang energy.
