What happens if you abstain from sex for a long time?

Appropriate sexual life in daily life can not only increase the feelings between couples, but also allow people's bodies to release tension. If sexual desire cannot be vented for a long time, it will make people's bodies tense. Especially, the impact of abstinence for a long time on men is great. It will not only affect men's physical health, but also make men irritable and in a bad mood. The following specifically introduces the effects of abstinence for a long time.

What happens if you abstain from sex for too long?

Long-term abstinence may lead to impotence

If a normal man abstains from sex for a long time, it will first have an impact on the psychological level, causing negative effects, and then cause sexual dysfunction. The human brain is the key to controlling sexual desire. When desire gradually ferments in the mind, this stimulation will be transferred to the pituitary gland through the hypothalamus, making the body have the urge to engage in "sex". If the desire is deliberately suppressed for a long time, the human body will feel unfamiliar and alienated with the above stimulation mode. Over time, it will naturally lose the desire. In the absence of exercise, the motor nerves will become dull or even degenerate.

If you abstain from sex for too long, your semen will deteriorate

Some men abstain from sex in order 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.

Long-term abstinence may lead to chronic prostatitis

Some scholars have studied the bodies of death row prisoners and found that the prostates of almost all of them have pathological manifestations of chronic prostatitis to varying degrees. This conclusion can also be deduced from the causes of prostate disease: abnormal sexual life, too frequent sexual life, masturbation, interrupted sexual intercourse, excessive inhibition of sexual life, etc. can cause prostate congestion and induce prostatitis.

Meanwhile, the prostate is the male reproductive gland. The fluid it secretes, prostatic fluid, is the main component of semen. Traditional Chinese medicine has a theory that "blockage causes pain", which means that regular sexual activity can drain prostatic fluid and thus relieve the painful symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

Abstinence for too long can also have negative psychological effects

Sex science research shows that long-term sexual repression will have a negative impact on a person's physiological and psychological development, work and study, and may even damage their mental and physical health. When lovers in love encounter setbacks, they will experience negative emotions such as worry, sadness, anxiety, suspicion, disgust, decadence, etc., and they are likely to develop a "love syndrome", which is manifested as listlessness, weakness in the limbs, loss of appetite, and in severe cases, palpitations, heart palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The study also found that the loss of a spouse is likely to increase the risk of illness, aging, and early death. The deeper the feelings, the greater the impact.

Long-term abstinence affects life expectancy

There is historical data in China that proves that the ancients once said that people who do not have or cannot get sexual satisfaction for a long time will not live long. According to experts, normal sex life is a natural need of human beings and is an indispensable need both physiologically and psychologically. The view that abstinence will bring many diseases to humans is consistent with the research of modern medicine and psychology. Normal sex life can coordinate various physiological functions in our body, promote the normal secretion of sex hormones, and help us maintain mental health.
