As the saying goes, sex is an integral part of daily life. It is also a human instinct and a physiological and psychological need. However, in the severe cold winter, people's sexual desire decreases, which affects the relationship between couples and also reduces sperm quality. What factors are related to this.

Why is it easy to "hibernate" during sex in winter?

1. The weather is cold

Cold weather can lower basal body temperature, causing various organs on the body to retract, and also weakening the body's sense of touch. For example, when men are stimulated by cold, their penis and testicles shrink. Research shows that skin temperature becomes more sensitive when it is around 36°C. You may wish to hug each other when sleeping at night, which can quickly increase the body temperature and make the whole body feel warm. Skin-to-skin contact can stimulate female endocrine, increase male hormone levels, and stimulate sexual desire.

2. Hibernation instinct

From a physiological point of view, it is easy to lose sexual interest in winter, which is related to the hibernation habit. Hibernation is to accumulate more energy and pay attention to the spirit. In winter, you might as well replace the desk lamp in the bedroom with a blue bulb, because light therapy can stimulate the nature of intimacy, especially under the influence of blue light, and help regulate the body's circadian rhythm.

3. Weight gain

Generally, people lose at least 1 to 2 pounds of weight in winter. Whether it is women or men, small changes in weight will affect sexual desire. Adjust your diet in winter and only eat 7 to 8 minutes of fullness at each meal. Research has found that serotonin is relatively low in winter, so you might as well eat more foods containing high-quality protein to stimulate serotonin secretion, and combine it with carbohydrate foods to promote serotonin release.

How to improve your sex life in winter?

1. Exercise more

Even in winter, you cannot stay at home for a long time. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day, such as brisk walking, jogging or skipping, etc., which can speed up blood circulation throughout the body, improve cardiopulmonary function, and thus maintain heart health. Maintain sexual performance.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

Men eat 1 to 2 bananas a day. The potassium ions contained in them can help lower blood pressure, maintain blood circulation in important organs, and allow sexual organs to receive sufficient blood nourishment, thereby enhancing sexual performance. At the same time, stay away from high-fat and high-cholesterol foods and pay attention to a light diet.

3. Reduce stress in time

Stress can affect physical health. Continuous high stress can affect heart rate and increase blood pressure, thereby destroying sexual desire and sexual behavior. At the same time, psychological stress can also affect penile erection, which is not conducive to achieving orgasm. You can reduce stress by exercising, talking to friends and family, or taking a trip outside.

4. Get some sunshine

Melatonin is one of the most important hormones in the body, not only helping people fall asleep but also calming sexual desire. Therefore, at least 30 to 40 minutes of sunbathing time every day can awaken people's sexual desire.

Warm reminder

Sex is a matter between two people, and couples should communicate more. At the same time, we should get rid of bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, and staying up late, actively treat primary diseases, and stabilize blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood sugar. Husbands and wives should learn more about sex-related knowledge, master sexual knowledge and treat sex life correctly. When men experience sexual frigidity, women should not just complain and blame them. Instead, they should be considerate and tolerant to help them eliminate their nervousness. They should closely cooperate with the doctor for treatment. They can also arouse male sexual excitement by touching exciting points.
