9 Things That Happen To Your Body When You Stop Having S*x!

Break-ups, work, travel – there are many different reasons why your sx may be stalled.

Probably many of you are familiar with the fact that active s*x life has several health benefits, but did you know that abstaining from s*x actually is bad for you?

Namely, nonexistent s*x life may affect on you: physically or mentally. Below you can read 9 things that may happen if you don’t have sx on regular basis:

     Men, watch out for prostate cancer

Those guys who don’t have it may miss out on the prostate-protecting perks of frequent trysts. Namely, the frequent ejaculations may remove potentially harmful substances from the prostate.

     You’re more susceptible to colds and flu

You may reduce the exposure to germs if you have s*x frequently. Researchers at Wilkes-Barre University in Pennsylvania discovered that people who make love once or twice a week have even 30% boost in immunoglobulin A (IgA), compared to those who had s*x seldom or never. The study authors explain that one of the body’s first lines of defense against viruses is IgA.

     Your cardiovascular health might suffer

Quality s*xual life is associated with cardiovascular health. Moreover, entering a s*x drought removes the hormonal and aerobic boost. Still, there aren’t many studies about what precisely happens to the heart after a period without s*xual activity.

     Insecurities about your relationship could start creeping in

According to experts, if you don’t make love, that has influence on your happiness, closeness and relationship security.

Les Parrott, PhD, a psychologist, and author of “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” says: “Going without s*x in a marriage can deliver a hit to your self-esteem, engender guilt, and decrease levels of oxytocin and other bonding hormones. It can also increase fears that one of you will look to others for your s*xual needs, which can breed a little paranoia.”

     Your risk for erectile dysfunction, um, rises.

According to a study published in the American Journal of Medicine, those man who don’t have s*x frequently, are even twice as likely to experience erectile dysfunction. As study’s authors suggest, due to the fact that penis is a muscle, frequent s*x may help preserve potency just like the physical exercise helps in maintaining strength.

     You may feel down in the dumps—but not for the reason you think.

The longer women go without making love, they feel more depressed. Still, not in all cases, the lack of s*x got them down. One study team discovered that women whose partners use condoms felt depressed too.

As researchers explain, certain compounds found in semen, including melatonin, serotonin and oxytocin have incredible mood-boosting benefits for women who have unprotected interc0urse. Still, don’t forget that there are many risks if you practice unprotected s*x.

     You’ll feel more anxious

It is interesting that s*x helps people to blow off steam. Namely, during s*x, human brain releases feel-good chemicals, such as endorphins and oxytocin. Researchers say that these chemicals actually make you feel more at ease.

     Your libido might drop

Some experts are convinced that period of abstinence will lessen s*xual desire over time, while some experts disagree. The reason for that is because your body dampens a hormonal response to arousal. However, that is personal matter and depends on your own s*xual experiences.

     You won’t be as intelligent as you could be

There is an old wife’s tale says that abstinence makes you more intelligent. Still, the truth is actually the opposite: scientists have proved that s*xual activity boosts neuron growth in the brain’s hippocampus.

Moreover, abstinence does not make the brain grow at all. If you have suddenly become immensely productive for first time in period of 2 months, that doesn’t mean that your brain is improving.
