Things you can’t do immediately after your new life

Do not take a shower immediately after sex

Many people sweat profusely after sex and feel uncomfortable when their whole body is covered in sweat. You must take a cold bath first. In this regard, experts point out that sex is a relatively strenuous activity, and taking a bath immediately afterward can cause palpitation, asthma and other symptoms. Especially taking a cold bath after intense sexual life will cause the blood vessels in the skin to contract suddenly, and a large amount of blood will flow back to the heart, thereby increasing the burden on the heart.

It is also not advisable to take a hot water bath immediately after sex. Because bathing will cause blood to flow into the skin and muscle tissue, it is easy to reduce the blood supply to other important organs. Once the blood supply to the heart and brain is reduced, their normal physiological functions will be affected, and some diseases will be induced.

Do not sleep immediately after sex

Men generally feel tired after sex. Therefore, many people like to fall asleep, thinking that this can eliminate the feeling of fatigue. In fact, the opposite is true.

Usually, when a couple has sex, it starts from the sexual excitement of both parties and ends with orgasm. Under normal circumstances, the duration is about 5 to 20 minutes, and it can also be longer than this. During sexual intercourse, the sympathetic nerves of the human body are in a state of high tension, and various hormones, especially sex hormones, are secreted vigorously.

At this time, not only the sexual organs of both parties are in a highly congested state, but also many tissues of the body are involved in this special physiological process from the sexual excitement period to the climax period, such as: accelerated heartbeat, increased blood pressure, accelerated breathing, and dilation of blood vessels in the skin of the whole body. , increased perspiration, etc. Therefore, during this process, the body's energy consumption increases significantly and metabolism is enhanced.

The reason why you feel tired after sex is mostly due to the temporary relaxation of the reflex function of the brain and spinal cord that controls the discharge of semen after ejaculation. Nerves are excited and tense during ejaculation, and nerves and spinal reflexes relax after ejaculation.

Young people have sensitive and active nerves, so they recover quickly, and some even recover immediately. In elderly people, the nerve response is slow and the recovery time is relatively long. If you fall asleep immediately after ejaculation, the reflex function that caused fatigue will continue to relax, and the fatigue will be difficult to disappear.

Do not go to bed immediately after sex, get up and continue to do some things in daily life, which can help the reflex nerves that have become dull due to sexual stimulation to recover smoothly. If you fall asleep immediately after finishing, the dull effect of sleep plus the dull effect of sexual stimulation will make your fatigue last until the next day, causing you to have back pain.
