In fact, when we first received sexual knowledge, most men may have heard the saying "one drop of semen and ten drops of blood". Therefore, whenever sexual desire came, in order to maintain the so-called energy, they would not ejaculate, especially in middle-aged and elderly people. It is also because ejaculation consumes the so-called "essence" and you simply stop having sex. Is this method correct? Shouldn't you have sex in middle-aged and elderly people?

"One drop of semen and ten drops of blood", this folk saying regards semen as the essence of the human body. It is believed that sexual life will cause people to lose semen, severely damage their vitality, empty their bone marrow, dry up their essence, and lead to premature death and short life. There is actually no basis for this statement. Semen is composed of sperm and seminal plasma, of which seminal plasma accounts for about 90%. The composition of seminal plasma is no different from that of plasma. Except for the vast majority of it being water, the rest is a very small amount of protein, sugar, cholesterol, enzymes, macroelements, trace elements, vitamins and other substances. These substances can be obtained from the daily diet every day and are replenished through normal metabolism in the body, so there will be no shortage.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "jing" can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Essence in the broad sense refers to all tangible and subtle substances in the human body, including qi, blood, body fluids and water and grain essences, which we often call "kidney essence"; essence in the narrow sense refers specifically to the essence of reproduction. Reproductive essence is the material basis for human reproduction. It is metabolized by the essence in the kidneys when the human body reaches a certain stage of development. Once the "reproductive essence" is formed, it breaks away from the category of "kidney essence" and becomes an independent living substance. Even if this substance exists in the body, it does not have any nutritional effect on itself. As the material basis for reproduction, its quality only affects the offspring. As the material basis of life, "kidney essence" has a significant impact on physical health. "Kidney Essence" should be stored and not purged, while "Reproductive Essence" follows the rule of "fullness must be purged" and is excreted from the body regularly or irregularly.

Storage of semen is the basis for discharge of semen, and discharge of semen is also one of the physiological functions of storage of semen. If you refrain from ejaculating and your sexual organs are congested for a long time, bacteria will take advantage of the situation and cause prostatitis, which will lead to continuous dripping of urine, white turbid liquid often dripping out of the urethral opening, and discomfort in the urethra, perineum, etc., as well as back pain. and other symptoms.

How should middle-aged women face sex life calmly

The vagina will not shrink like preserved fruit. The decrease in estrogen during menopause will bring about changes in the body, but many changes are not easily noticeable to the naked eye, and there is no such thing as "aging withered". Hope Ricciotti, MD, of Harvard Medical School, says many women simply don't notice the changes in themselves at this point. After menopause, blood flow to the vagina decreases, and sex is a great way to revitalize the vagina because it promotes blood circulation in the vagina, thereby maintaining vitality and youthfulness.

Don’t say no to lubricant. After menopause, the vagina does become dry and it can happen to every woman. At this time, using lubricant can help you have a more comfortable and healthy sex life. People who have never used lubricants should not be embarrassed by this, because with the continuous advancement of technology, you will find that the texture of lubricants will give you a natural moist feeling, giving you more confidence in sex.

Body image can go downhill. As the body undergoes changes during menopause, the mind is also changing. Sexual health expert Elizabeth suggested that women should not only learn to accept the changes in their bodies at this time, but more importantly, build up self-confidence, listen to more beautiful music, exercise frequently, read books and newspapers, so that they can face changes more optimistically.

Still at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Although there is no need to worry about unwanted pregnancy, women should not take it lightly because this age group is also susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Having good hygiene habits and keeping yourself clean are still effective ways to prevent diseases.

Work harder for the climax. In the past, you may have had constant orgasms every time you had sex, but when you reach menopause, you have to lower your expectations and maybe work harder just for one orgasm. Remember, every age has its own cute side, try to accept it. And fall in love with the process.

Sexual desires vary from person to person. After the age of 50, you may be more like a wolf or a tiger, or you may have little desire. Everyone's situation is different, and desires fluctuate accordingly. If post-menopausal adrenaline surges through your body, you'll be more eager to try new things and change your rigid thinking to add some adventure to your senior life.
