Abstinence
The effects of abstinence on men and women
"How long have you been without sex? You're probably already going crazy"
"A man definitely needs regular sex for his health"
"If a woman doesn't have sex for a long time, her libido disappears"
Familiar statements? There are a lot of myths surrounding sexual abstinence. Moreover, men and women often seem to have to experience it in completely different ways, but there is no universal scenario suitable for all people.
Abstinence in itself is neither beneficial nor harmful. It all depends on the person, their age, state of health, level of sexual desire and, most importantly, whether the lack of sex is voluntary.
If a person decides to take a break himself, this is a completely normal situation. But forced abstinence, when there is a desire, but it is impossible to satisfy it, may feel completely different.
What happens to a man?
One of the most popular myths is that with prolonged abstinence, a man's testosterone increases dramatically, incredible energy appears, and physical fitness improves. However, there is no scientific reason to consider abstinence a universal way to "pump up male hormones."
Yes, sexual desire can subjectively become stronger, a man may think about sex more often, notice sexual stimuli, and experience more arousal, but this does not mean that the body begins to work "at increased speeds."
When some men do not have sex for a long time, on the contrary, sexual activity gradually becomes less significant. Desire may temporarily decrease simply because a person gets used to this lifestyle and it does not mean that something is wrong with him.
And the women?
There are enough myths here too. For example, that after a long period of abstinence, a woman necessarily "loses the ability to enjoy herself." It is not true. The very absence of sex does not deprive a woman of the ability to experience arousal or orgasm. But at the same time, sexual desire can really be influenced by many other factors.
Therefore, sometimes a woman after several months without sex notices a decrease in interest in intimate life. But the reason may not be abstinence itself, but the lifestyle and circumstances that led to it.
By the way, sex is far from the only way to get sexual pleasure. Masturbation, fantasies, flirting, erotic experiences, and even just a feeling of one's own sexuality do not disappear just because a person does not engage in intimate relationships for a while.
Is it true that after a long break, the first sex will be especially vivid? Sometimes– yes, but it's not because the body has "accumulated sexual energy." After a long break, anticipation may increase, and novelty, excitement, and a strong desire can make the sensations more vivid.
But the opposite can also happen: a person begins to worry too much: "what if I've lost the habit?", "what if it's awkward?", "what if a partner doesn't like it?". And then anxiety can interfere with arousal and pleasure.
And most importantly, there is no correct duration of abstinence: the norm here is determined not by the calendar, but by your own condition. Therefore, if you are without sex right now, something doesn't necessarily happen to you, you don't automatically become "less of a man" or "less of a woman." And if there is a sexual desire and you want intimacy, this is also normal.
Sex itself is not a medical obligation. But the lack of sex should not become a reason to be ashamed of your own desires. The main thing is that your sex life, including its absence, should be your choice, and not the result of pressure, fear, or other people's ideas about what is right
The main thing to remember is that sex really has a positive effect on health!
