As the saying goes, "If you don't store your essence in winter, you will be sick and warm in spring." This means that when winter is cold, people need to store energy to keep out the cold, so they must control their sex life. However, there are also some opinions that excessive abstinence is detrimental to health. As Durex, a well-known brand for both sexes, says: perfect sex can make your body and mind healthier. So, how should you have sex in winter? Experts believe that when having sex in winter, you need to avoid the following misunderstandings.

Myth 1: You should be abstinent in winter

Some modern middle-aged couples read some health tips for the four seasons in medical journals, so they abstain from sex in winter. The sex life that was once a week suddenly dropped to once a month, and the time for sex was also greatly shortened. Experts point out that this is a misunderstanding. The living conditions of modern people are much better than those of ancient people. They are more nutritious, healthier, and have stronger sexual requirements. Even in winter, the frequency and time of sexual life do not need to be reduced too much. Therefore, the specific criteria that are appropriate will vary from person to person. The average person’s experience is that if both parties feel happy and energetic the day after sex, it means that the frequency and time of sex are appropriate.

The correct approach: Live a moderate sex life

The ancients said: "Food, sex, and sex." Sex, like eating, is an instinct of human beings and a physiological and psychological need. Chinese medicine has long stated that abstinence is detrimental to physical and mental health. The unity of opposites of yin and yang is a universal law of nature. Yin and yang are in balance, and the human body must maintain balance to ensure health. A moderate sex life is the means to reconcile yin and yang.

Myth 2: Using alcohol to "help sex"

Many people believe that alcohol is an "aphrodisiac" and a "sexual stimulant." Therefore, when they have low sexual desire, impotence, or premature ejaculation, they often drink alcohol to "boost their morale." Especially on winter nights when the indoor temperature is very low, some couples often think of drinking, thinking that drinking can not only keep out the cold but also "help sexual intercourse". Many of them did enjoy orgasm happily. However, this method of using wine to aid sexual intercourse can only be experienced occasionally and should not be used for a long time. Otherwise, it will not only fail to stimulate sexual desire, but will lead to decreased sexual desire, hinder the transmission of sexual impulses, and will not help but destroy sexual desire.

Correct approach: Don’t drink alcohol before sex

Don’t drink alcohol when having sex, and don’t have sex after drinking alcohol. This is for health reasons. If some people feel that winter is too cold, they can take a hot bath to keep out the cold. In addition, now that living conditions are better, heating and air conditioning are very convenient, so there is no need to drink to keep out the cold. There is an important article in the ancient human culture related to wine: "Don't enter the house after drinking." This is really a rule of thumb. Because sexual function is mainly regulated by the central nervous system, excessive alcohol content in the body will have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system and interfere with the reflex transmission pathways aroused by excitement. Drinking alcohol to keep out the cold in winter is only a temporary "fever" phenomenon. After drinking alcohol into the stomach, blood vessels dilate and blood flow increases, making people feel hot. However, excessive drinking can cause gonad poisoning, reduce the level of testosterone in the blood, and easily cause Impotence and infertility occur in men.

Myth 3: “Sex heats up”

When winter comes, many people hope to generate heat in their bodies through sex so that they will not feel cold, so as to achieve the heating effect. Some modern couples even use the fact that they often sweat profusely after having sex in summer to prove the theory of "sex heats up". Experts point out that winter is too cold, and the human body needs a lot of energy to keep out the cold, and sex consumes a lot of energy. How can it "help heat" for a long time?

Correct approach: Keep warm and cold during sex

Motherland medicine has long said that appropriately reducing the number of sexual intercourse in winter is beneficial to health. However, during sexual intercourse, both husband and wife must pay attention to keeping warm and cold. If they indulge in sexual intercourse, or even hope that "sexual intercourse will increase the heat," they will be most likely to catch a cold when they are tired after semen ejaculation.
