Over the past few days, rainy weather has occurred in many places in the north and south. People have fewer opportunities to go out for leisure and entertainment, and spend more time at home enjoying the world between themselves. A survey in the United States shows that people are more likely to have a desire for intimacy during thunderstorms. However, ancient Chinese medicine believes that rainy days are not a good time for sex.

First of all, during continuous rainy weather, the lack of light will lead to heavy humidity. Liu Wansu, a famous physician in the Jin Dynasty, pointed out in "Xuanming Fang Lun": "Moisture hurts a person's Yang Qi first." Therefore, sex on rainy days can easily damage men's kidney Yang Qi. Especially for some men who are originally weak and suffer from back pain and dark circles, having sex on rainy days may deplete kidney energy, leading to soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, pale face, dizziness and other problems.

Secondly, the sultry and rainy days in summer make people more prone to sweating. If you have high sexual desire and are overly excited, you may be sweating profusely before having sex. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "qi is lost with sweating". Excessive sweating can also damage kidney qi. Having sex at this time will be detrimental to the health of both parties. Some couples turn down the air conditioner in order to cool down. However, during sex, the pores on the skin surface will open, allowing cold air to invade, which can also harm the body. Especially when the waist and abdomen are exposed, cold air will invade the kidneys and damage kidney qi. It may also cause problems such as colds and muscle aches.

Finally, cloudy and rainy days are often accompanied by thunder, which is believed by traditional Chinese medicine to be "most likely to damage the kidneys". During sexual intercourse, the sudden sound of thunder may frighten men and even lead to problems such as impotence. For women, bacteria are active and invasive on rainy days in summer, and urinary system diseases are prone to occur during sex at this time.

However, it is not absolutely impossible to have sex on rainy days. You need to make some preparations: it is best to turn on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner, pay attention to private parts hygiene, replenish water, and pay attention to keeping the waist and abdomen warm. Couples can also massage each other's waists. The specific method is to rub their hands together to heat them, press the waist tightly, pause for a moment, and then rub downwards to the Changqiang point at the tail region. Do this 50 to 100 times each time. After rubbing, make fists with both hands and rotate your fists to massage your waist for about 5 minutes each time. This massage method can not only clear the veins and strengthen the waist and spine, but also strengthen the kidneys and prolong life.
