Sexual Health
Pay attention to these four issues and three taboos during summer sexual activity, be cautious
There is no season more passionate than summer. The sun has created a thin veil with a shiny bronze body, depicting the curves that cause fires, filled with mocking light, inhibiting the release of melatonin in the brain, increasing excitement, and making the intimacy between couples more natural and passionate. However, since ancient times, health theories have explicitly proposed that summer sexual activity should pay attention to the opposite of yang hyperactivity and excitement. Entering summer, everyone is getting cooler and cooler: women show delicate curves, men show sexy chest muscles, stimulating people's sexual desire. However, being too hot can also affect sexual activity. In this issue, we have summarized the issues and precautions that may arise during summer sexual activity based on relevant research from domestic and foreign experts.
Pay attention to these four issues during summer sexual activity
Problem 1: Sweating and sticking to the body can affect sexual desire. A survey in the United States found that 35% of people have refused intimacy multiple times due to the hot weather, while only 19% have refused intimacy due to the cold weather. Researchers believe that high temperatures can cause the body to sweat profusely, and chemicals related to desire will also be expelled from the body, leading to a decrease in sexual desire. In addition, respondents also stated that sweating and heat can bring a lot of discomfort, especially "the feeling of two people's skin sticking together is very uncomfortable and cannot stimulate desire at all
Expert advice: American gender expert Davis pointed out that in summer, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures and adjust the appropriate room temperature before sexual intercourse. After sweating, take a shower first to reduce discomfort caused by sweating and help restore sensitivity to the skin. The recommended sexual position is lateral recumbent. This posture minimizes physical contact between both parties and is suitable for hot weather.
Question 2: It is easy to fall off after sexual intercourse. In summer, some people sweat after sex, their heart rate increases, and they experience fatigue symptoms. People who originally suffered from basic diseases such as hypertension and heart disease or physical weakness may experience problems such as whitening, shedding, and heart discomfort after sexual activity. Li Haisong, Director of the Department of Andrology at Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the heat of summer consumes gas, and the work in the room is intense activity, which indeed consumes a lot of energy.
Experts suggest that sexual frequency should not be too high and must be adjusted according to physical condition. The daytime gradually lengthens, and it is best to take a nap to ensure sufficient sleep. The hot human body will lose a lot of water and salt. After sex, you can drink light saline water to immediately replenish the lost electrolytes. Eat some auxiliary foods such as spinach and oysters appropriately in terms of diet.
Question 3: 'Sexual cold' is very common. It's getting hot, and people like to turn down the air conditioning temperature when making love. However, during sexual intercourse, the pores on the surface of the human skin will open, allowing cool air to invade, making it easy to catch a cold. Some people also take a shower or drink cold drinks after sex, which can easily cause a hot cold. After sex, they will catch a cold, such as stuffy nose, sneezing, runny nose, and headache.
It is best to turn on the air conditioning half an hour in advance and adjust the room temperature to 26 ℃~28 ℃ before making love. If the temperature is too low, it is easy to catch a cold, and the sensitivity of the sexual organs will also decrease. When having sex, do not let the air conditioner or fan blow directly into the body. After sexual intercourse, one should rest in bed for a while, then get up and take a warm bath.
Question 4: Genitals are prone to diseases. According to a survey organized by the Chinese Medical Association, summer is a season of frequent gynecological inflammation, and male reproductive organs are also prone to bacterial infections, such as itching and odor, which can affect sexual intercourse, cause pain and bleeding during sexual intercourse, and cause infertility.
Expert support: In hot and humid weather, attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the genitalia, and local cleaning should be done before and after sexual intercourse. If one party experiences inflammation, it is necessary to use a condom or suspend sexual intercourse. In addition, sitting for a long time and tight underwear can easily breed bacteria, so it is necessary to breathe in a private area. After inflammation occurs, couples must be treated together.
Three taboos for summer sex: Be careful
Be careful when sweating too much
In summer, the body's sweat secretion increases, and the desire for sexual activity is stimulated. Many people find themselves without sex and sweat. However, do not assume that excessive sweating is a normal phenomenon. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, excessive sweating during the summer can easily lead to fatigue in middle-aged and elderly people, as well as those who are physically weak. Such people must do room work after their sweat is completely dry and their heartbeat is calm. For people with emotional tension or physical weakness, the phenomenon of increased sweating after sexual activity should also be vigilant. Because this may be a signal of illness.
It is better to rest a bit and resume other activities after the blood circulation in the body returns to normal. After sex, lie in bed and rest for a while. Then get up and take a bath. Drink salted milk and soybean milk. Do not take a bath or drink iced water immediately.
Excessive greed before and after sexual intercourse
In summer, with high temperatures and humidity, many couples enjoy having sex in air-conditioned environments. However, during sexual activity, especially after achieving orgasm, the body may experience fever, sweating, and the body's sweat pores opening. If cool air invades during this time, it can lead to cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and headache in people with reduced resistance. Some people may refer to this disease as summer cold. During summer sex, excessive greed should be avoided. When using air conditioning, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be around 5 ℃, and the minimum room temperature should not exceed 27 ℃. After sexual activity, if you feel thirsty and sticky, don't rush to take a shower. Although you temporarily feel comfortable, it creates favorable conditions for the invasion of pathogens and is easy to catch a cold.
Those who suffer from summer should not force themselves to make a room
In summer, some women complain that their bodies are weak, tired, and do not want to eat. Their bodies become thinner and thinner. In autumn, these shortcomings are often not cured, which is often referred to as bitter summer. This phenomenon is mostly caused by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. In addition to fluctuations in body temperature between 37 ℃ and 37.4 ℃, patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as systemic fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, palpitations, sweating, insomnia, and excessive dreaming.
A few women may also experience a series of gynecological symptoms such as irregular menstruation, increased vaginal discharge, low back pain, and edema. Bitter summer generally does not affect health, but when symptoms are severe, sexual activity should be avoided. When men have sexual impulses, they should be good at observing their wives' emotions and emotions, stimulating sexual desire, coordinating, and satisfying.
