Is long-term abstinence prone to impotence?
What is impotence? If you deliberately suppress desire for a long time, the human body will experience a sense of strangeness and alienation from the above stimulation patterns. Over time, it will naturally lose its lust, and the penis will become sluggish or even degenerate in the absence of exercise. Impotence is a common sexual dysfunction disease in men. Many men are very worried about their own impotence because they may experience mild sexual dysfunction after not having sex for a long time. Does this situation really exist?
Can abstinence cause impotence?
People often say, "A farewell is better than a new marriage." A short period of abstinence can sometimes make men produce amazing explosive power in the "golden encounter" moment
Whether abstinence can cause impotence depends first on the individual and the length of abstinence. Long-term abstinence is not good for men's health and may indeed lead to impotence, which can be caused by long-term abstinence.
Why does long-term abstinence cause impotence? If a normal male abstains for a long time, it will first have an impact on the psychological level, causing negative effects, and then leading to sexual dysfunction. The human brain is the key to mastering sexual desire. When desire gradually ferments in the brain, this stimulation will be transferred through the hypothalamus to the pituitary gland, causing the human body to have an impulse to engage in "sex", and men will therefore issue "erectile" instructions to the penis.
If you deliberately suppress desire for a long time, the human body will experience a sense of strangeness and alienation from the above stimulation patterns. Over time, it will naturally lose its lust, and the penis will become sluggish or even degenerate in the absence of exercise.
This is because the cavernous body of the male penis is rich in smooth muscle, which will gradually degenerate if there is no erection and congestion for a long time, thereby affecting the congestion function of the cavernous body. In fact, spontaneous libido is a natural physiological reaction, just like wanting to eat when you're hungry. You don't need to suppress this instinct excessively.
Some couples who have been separated from each other for a long time or have not had sex for a long time, and rarely get together and naturally want to cohabit, the husband may experience problems such as insufficient penis erection stiffness, rapid ejaculation, etc. This may be due to long-term lack of sex leading to physical sensitivity and premature ejaculation, or it may be a rare opportunity for him to generate additional tension and develop impotence. As long as regular sexual life is restored, these problems will naturally disappear.
