Sleeping is not only closely related to health, but also affects our sex life. A survey by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that people with wrong sleep habits also have lower sexual life satisfaction.

Here are some sleep habits that can affect the quality of your sex

1. The bed is too soft: weakens sexual power

If the mattress is too soft when sleeping, it will cause the middle part of the body to sink and the trunk to form an arc, which will overload the ligaments around the spine and the intervertebral vertebrae, increase the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, and cause low back pain in the long run. At the same time, the muscles cannot be fully relaxed when sleeping on a soft bed, which will affect the strength of the muscles during sex over time. Ma Xiaonian, professor of the Department of Sexual Medicine at Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital, pointed out that during sex, the muscle strength of the waist and back is very important, especially for men. When using the man-on-woman and side-lying positions, men must rely on waist and leg strength to help control Sexual intensity. Once the waist is damaged, it will easily affect sexual movements.

2. Pillow height: affects erection

We often say "sit back and relax," but Japanese sleep researchers surveyed nearly a hundred married people of different ages and found that pillows that are too high can affect sexual function. First of all, if the pillow is too high for a long time, it can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the brain and reduce the function of the pituitary gland in secreting sex hormones, which may further affect sexual desire. Secondly, when the pillow is too high, it is easy to compress the heart and affect blood circulation. Long-term insufficient blood supply may lead to male erectile dysfunction. Thirdly, a high pillow will affect the health of the cervical spine. In severe cases, it will affect the nerve conduction of sexual excitement, thereby reducing sexual sensitivity and easily causing frigidity. Finally, a high pillow can easily block the trachea, aggravate snoring, lead to hypoxia in the body, affect the sleep quality of both parties, and also have adverse effects on sexual function.

3. Sleeping on your stomach: Damage to genitals

Of all sleeping positions, sleeping on your stomach is considered the most unhealthy. Shi Ming pointed out that when men sleep on their stomachs on the bed, it will compress the scrotum, stimulate the penis, and easily cause frequent nocturnal emissions, which will affect normal work and life. It will also increase the temperature of the scrotum, which is detrimental to sperm growth. If women sleep on their stomachs, they may develop breast deformities. Resting prone on the desk will compress the carotid arteries, causing sympathetic nerve dysfunction, cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, headaches, dizziness and other symptoms, which will affect sexual desire.

4. Sleeping too late: Beware of premature aging

With the diversification of life, there are more and more "night owls". Previously, a survey conducted by Sohu.com showed that more than 80% of people have the habit of going to bed late, and nearly 70% of people have health problems as a result. Staying up late has many health hazards, and can easily lead to reduced resistance, memory loss, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal problems, etc. Lauman, a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, pointed out from the perspective of gender relations that staying up late has caused many young people to become "premature sexual aging". The sexual ability of people in their twenties and thirties cannot keep up with that of middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties. For men, going to bed too late will lead to no erection in the morning, lack of passion during sex, always listless, and low sex duration. For women, staying up late can lead to lack of vaginal lubrication, slow sex, poor skin and figure, and reduced sexual confidence.

5. Sleeping for too long: reduces sexual desire

Everyone knows that not enough sleep is harmful to the body, but Li Haisong, director of the Department of Men's Medicine at Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that sleeping for too long can also reduce sexual desire. There is a saying in "Huangdi Neijing" that "lying down for a long time damages Qi". Lying down to rest or sleep for a long time without physical activity can easily cause symptoms of qi deficiency, causing the body's blood circulation to lose its original pattern, slowing down the heartbeat and blood flow, making the sleeper more lazy, which may also lead to sexual intercourse. Functional disorders may also lead to listlessness, physical fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, decreased sexual desire, and even frigidity.

These methods make sex more harmonious!

1. Have a sense of enjoyment

Sometimes, women are afraid that their husbands will not be satisfied, so they try their best to accommodate his needs. But sex is actually about giving and receiving from both parties. If you blindly satisfy the other party, in the end, women will become hating "that thing." Women should be straightforward about their needs to their husbands without feeling guilty or embarrassed, because in fact, men like women who can enjoy sex. When a man discovers that his actions can bring happiness to a woman, it can excite him more than any aphrodisiac.

2. Don’t fake orgasm

In order to please their husbands, some women can fake orgasms so realistically that men cannot tell the difference. But when they do this, they don't think about the long-term consequences: if they don't feel happy but pretend to have an orgasm, they will let their husbands continue to repeat his wrong actions next time because he mistakenly thinks that way can make women happy. A woman once had such an experience: her husband rubbed her vagina vigorously in an attempt to bring her to orgasm, but it caused her great pain. She was embarrassed to tell him that his way was too rough, so she faked an orgasm to get him to stop. Unexpectedly, he would rub her in this rough way every time, causing her more and more pain. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and had to tell him the truth. This devastated her husband, and the woman was very remorseful. It would have been better if she had explained it from the beginning.

3. Don’t ignore your husband’s feelings

It is generally believed that men seem to be able to enter directly without any foreplay and enjoy it very much. This is actually a kind of misunderstanding. Touching and teasing will make men more excited, because when women do this, they are saying how much they like his body. Some women will be too shy to do it, but there is absolutely no man who doesn’t like it when women do it, so just do it boldly, and you will get obvious results immediately. Touching and teasing is very simple, just keep running your fingers all over his body, especially his inner thighs and nipples; sometimes touch his lower part as a tease. In addition, women can also use their hair, tongue and eyelashes to increase the teasing effect.
