What are the taboos after couples have sex?

After a couple has just experienced a passionate and harmonious relationship, while you are still savoring every romantic moment of sex, he turns over and falls asleep, snoring loudly, or starts watching TV by himself. At this moment, does your rippling spring heart feel as if a dish of cold water was poured on it? It is understood that similar situations are not uncommon in life. No matter men or women, they should try their best and devote themselves wholeheartedly during sex, but a small mistake after the passion may make all the previous efforts go to waste and may even affect the future relationship between the couple. The following are the wrong behaviors after sex that experts have learned through extensive research, for readers to learn from.

1. Men should not urinate immediately after sex

Urinate promptly after sex to flush the urethra and avoid infection. For women, urinating immediately after sex is a simple and effective way to prevent urinary tract infections. Because the female urethra is shorter and straighter, bacteria from the vulva may move upward into the urethra during sexual intercourse, causing urethritis, cystitis, etc.

However, experts point out that men should not rush to urinate after sex, otherwise it will cause damage to the prostate, because the male urethra is long and curved, and the resistance to urine passage is large and the time is long. Sexual intercourse has just ended, the congestion of the corpus cavernosum of the penis has not yet subsided, and the contraction of the urethral sphincter and detrusor has not yet been eliminated, which causes high urethral resistance, leading to difficulty in urination or even inability to urinate. If you are in a hurry to urinate at this time, the pressure in the urethra will increase, and the urine containing bacteria and metabolic waste will flow back into the prostate. If this continues for a long time, it will easily lead to prostatitis.

Experts suggest that men should rest for 5 to 10 minutes after ejaculation and urinate after the congestion disappears.

2. Don’t go to bed immediately after passion

Men generally feel tired after sex, so many people like to fall asleep, thinking that this can eliminate the feeling of fatigue. In fact, the opposite is true, which will make the fatigue after ejaculation continue until the next day.

This is because, when a couple has sex, from the beginning of sexual excitement of both parties to the end of orgasm, under normal circumstances, it lasts about 5 to 20 minutes, but it can also be longer than this. During sexual intercourse, the human body's sympathetic nerves are in a highly tense state, and various hormones, especially sex hormones, are secreted vigorously.

At this time, not only are the sexual organs of both parties in a highly congested state, but many tissues of the body are also involved in this special physiological process from the sexual excitement period to the orgasm period, such as: increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, deeper and faster breathing, dilation of skin blood vessels throughout the body, increased sweating, etc. Therefore, during this process, the body's energy consumption increases significantly and metabolism is enhanced.

Young people have sensitive and active nerves, so they recover quickly, some even immediately. For older people, their nerve reactions are slow and their recovery time is relatively long. If they fall asleep immediately after ejaculation, the reflex function that causes fatigue will continue to relax and the feeling of fatigue will be difficult to disappear.

Do not go to bed immediately after sex, but get up and continue doing some daily activities. This can help the reflex nerves that have become dull due to the stimulation of sexual intercourse to recover smoothly. If you fall asleep immediately after sex, the dulling effect of sleep plus the dulling effect of sexual stimulation will make the fatigue continue until the next day and cause you to have back pain.

3. Don’t eat cold food immediately after passion

The reason why you feel tired after sexual intercourse is mostly because the reflex function of the cerebrospinal cord that controls the discharge of semen temporarily relaxes after ejaculation. When you ejaculate, your nerves become excited and tense, so you cannot eat cold food immediately. During sexual intercourse, the sympathetic nerves are more excited, and the gastrointestinal blood flow will be reduced compared to usual times.

Therefore, drinking ice water immediately before the congestion of the gastrointestinal mucosa returns to normal will cause the gastrointestinal mucosa to suddenly become cold, which will cause certain damage to the gastrointestinal tract. In severe cases, it may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort or colic. Whether it is summer or winter, experts recommend that if you feel thirsty after sex, you might as well drink a small amount of warm or cool boiled water, and try not to drink ice water or cold drinks.

As for those who suffer from gastroenteritis, indigestion, and ulcers, even if they do not have sex, it is not good for them to eat too much cold food. It can be seen from this that when eating cold ice cream, popsicles, etc., whether or not you have sex, you should eat them in moderation according to your own gastrointestinal function and not eat them without restraint.

4. Don’t blow dry immediately after passion

You are likely to sweat all over after sex. Some men and women like to lie naked in front of the air conditioner, which is also wrong as it gives germs an opportunity to take advantage. This is because, after sexual intercourse, the body's ability to regulate body temperature will weaken, making it more susceptible to colds.

In addition, if you blow cold air directly, it will cause the sweat gland excretion pores to close suddenly, making it impossible for sweat to be discharged. Therefore, even in the hottest summer, you need to avoid turning on the air conditioner without wearing any clothes. It is best to cover yourself with a thin blanket to prevent cold from harming your body.

5. Don’t rush to leave the other person and go straight to the bathroom after the passion

From a psychological perspective, after passionate sex, you may leave your partner and go straight to the bathroom for the sake of cleanliness, but in the eyes of your partner, you are in a hurry to end the sex and don't give your partner a chance to "do it again"; or you think sex is "dirty" and even the body fluids left on your body by your partner are not clean. This situation is more common in women. This will leave a psychological shadow on the other person, so it is better for you to linger for a few minutes after the passion.

In fact, it is sufficient to do basic cleaning before and after sex. The body has a "self-defense system" and will not open a convenient channel for bacteria just because of a few minutes of intimacy after sex.

6. Don’t go to bed immediately after sex

One spouse may be accustomed to the comfort of "monopolizing" a bed, thinking that this way they will not be disturbed by the other when sleeping. But after sex, you should make an exception and share a bed with your partner, or at least be intimate and whisper in the same bed for a while.

At the same time, whether it is one person or both people, falling asleep immediately after passion will reduce the charm of sex. Because in this way, both parties will not have time to experience the satisfaction after sex, nor can they relive the passion of sex. Sleeping in separate beds may cause one partner to mistakenly believe that all the other's previous enthusiasm was just for "sex".

7. Don’t rush to make a phone call or get back to work immediately after the excitement

Don't rush to make a phone call or get back to work after sex, as this will make your partner think that you were distracted during sex, which is why you ended the sex so quickly. Is consensual sex less important than a phone call, a text message or general work?

Experts warn: Doing so will weaken your partner's desire for sex over time, and may even make you doubt whether your relationship is as good as external factors such as work.
