Restless young people, is it time for you to abstain from sex?

Food, sex, and nature. Sex is a wonderful experience and a physiological need that all normal mature men and women have. Many men and women worry about overindulgence after frequent sexual intercourse. What is considered excessive sex? Will overdoing it harm your health?

About the novelty of sexual desire | Normal physiological reactions When a new lover has just started to have sex, he or she often has sex four or five times a day or even more. Does this count as excessive indulgence?

Researchers once conducted an experiment like this: if a male mouse mates with the same female mouse continuously, its mating frequency will gradually decrease, but once it is replaced with a new female mouse, it will immediately start mating at a high frequency again as if it had been injected with chicken blood. The researchers kept replacing it with new female mice, and it was likely that it would fight to the death.

The conclusion drawn from this research is that animals have an instinct to crave novelty. It is innate for men to get bored with the old and love the new. A man wants to have sex with a new woman every day. As the relationship between two people becomes more stable and the novelty gradually disappears, naturally you won't want it every day. Continuous desire | What kind of desire is considered excessive? Another situation is that the relationship between two people is already very stable, but they still want to have sex with each other every day.

At this point, you need to first assess the intensity of your desire:

If this desire is mild and does not affect daily work and life, and you just feel really fond of the other person when you see him/her and want to be intimate with him/her, and you do not feel too tired or uncomfortable after each time, and you can recover after some rest, then this is within the normal range. Everyone's physical condition is different. As long as your partner's frequency is in harmony with yours, there is no need to worry too much.

But if your desire to have sex with your partner has reached the point where it affects your daily work and life, for example, you always want to go home after work, look forward to dark, and look forward to the moment of having sex with her, so that you cannot concentrate on your work, then we suggest that you go to the hospital to check your endocrine system and rule out any physiological disorders first.

Abstinence, good or bad thing?

Abstinence | Sperm quality deteriorates. Some couples who want to have children often abstain from sex for a period of time, hoping to improve semen quality and increase the "hit rate" in this way. But if abstinence is not done properly, it will affect fertility! Popular Science | What's in semen? Let's first understand the composition of semen from a scientific perspective: the highly concentrated sperm suspension in the epididymis and the secretions of the accessory glands (prostate, seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands, etc.) are mixed and diluted to form semen, of which the secretions of the accessory glands account for about 90% of the semen, and the secretions of the prostate and seminal vesicles mainly come from the secretions.

In terms of composition, 90% of semen, in addition to sperm, is seminal plasma, which is similar to plasma in composition, mainly water, in addition to a small amount of protein, trace elements, etc., which can be easily replenished through metabolism. Therefore, generally speaking, ejaculation does not cause any damage to the body. The truth | Both abstinence and indulgence are harmful to the body. Some men abstain from sex to protect their semen. In fact, even if they abstain from sex, sperm will accumulate in the epididymis to a certain level and will overflow or enter the urethra and be excreted with urine. This not only fails to preserve semen, but is also detrimental to physical and mental health. Of course, excessive indulgence is not good for semen health. It will cause the reproductive system and pelvic cavity to be congested and lead to reproductive system diseases.

Scientific maintenance | Maintain good living habits

If you want to make your semen inexhaustible, the best way is to maintain it scientifically. As we all know, smoking has a negative impact on male semen and can even cause testicular atrophy. In addition, drink less alcohol and try to avoid exposure to radiation and harmful chemicals. In addition, you should exercise more and actively lose weight.
