Nowadays, many couples are in sexless marriages. Because of the fierce competition in society, young people are burdened with various mortgage and car loans, as well as taking care of the elderly and raising children. They are busy at work every day, and even work overtime until early in the morning before going home. They also have to face complex interpersonal relationships and various social activities, and have very little sleep time every day, which will affect their sex life and reduce people's sexual desire over time. However, less sex will affect physical and mental health, and even lead to sexual frigidity or divorce due to a sexless life.

What are the hidden dangers of less sex?

1. Increase the risk of prostate cancer

Research shows that as long as men maintain a high frequency and regular sexual life, the risk of developing prostate disease or prostate cancer can be reduced to 20%. Regular sex can speed up semen metabolism and help discharge harmful substances from the prostate.

2. Make people extremely anxious

Maintaining moderate sex can help release stress. People without sex cannot cope with stress better and are more likely to hit a wall or encounter trouble when doing things. During sex, the brain releases large amounts of oxytocin, which gives people a sense of euphoria and relaxation. In addition, when sex life is reduced, people may become extremely anxious and irritable when faced with social and speech problems.

3. Increase the number of colds

Because having too little sex reduces the chance of exposure to pathogenic bacteria, the immune system cannot be exercised, thus affecting immunity. Surveys have shown that people who have sex once or twice a week have a 30% increase in immunoglobulin A compared to people who have less or no sex life. Immunoglobulin A is the body’s first line of defense and can effectively fight pathogenic bacteria.

4. Accelerate aging

Generally, people who look very young have an average sexual intercourse frequency that is 50% higher than that of their peers, because maintaining moderate sexual intercourse can stimulate the release of adrenaline, maintain skin elasticity, and prevent premature wrinkles.

5. Impact on women’s menstrual cycle

Women who have not had sex for a long time will suffer from depression, and their menstrual cycles are prone to disorders. Because male semen contains many compounds, such as oxytocin, serotonin, and melatonin, which can improve women’s mood and benefit their health.

6. It can easily lead to male erectile dysfunction

Sexual organs, like other organs, follow the principle of use or lose. If a man does not have sex for a long time, it may cause erectile dysfunction. Since the penis is made of muscle tissue, only more exercise can enhance the strength of the penis. Maintaining a moderate sex life can exercise the penis and maintain its sexual performance.

7. Feeling disappointed in marriage

Being without sex for a long time will inevitably affect the happiness of the couple and the marital relationship. Sexless marriages can damage self-esteem, make people feel guilty, and affect oxytocin secretion, a hormone that promotes intimate connections. In addition, they may worry that the other party will cheat, which may lead to paranoia. If you are unable to have sex due to illness, the couple may wish to enhance their relationship by sweet talking, kissing, praising each other or holding hands.

Warm reminder

I didn’t expect that less sex would bring so many hidden dangers, and we must pay attention to it. No matter how busy they are at work, both husband and wife should communicate more. Failure to communicate or having less sex may lead to a broken family and all efforts will be in vain.
