As autumn arrives and the weather cools, nature withers, and one should also calm the mind and conserve energy. Sexual activity should be moderated at this time, with desires restrained and frequency reduced to prevent the outward dissipation of yin and yang within the body. The following points should be noted regarding sexual intercourse in autumn:
1. Wear clothes later in the day and earlier in the morning.
During sex, you can enjoy foreplay while dressed and try to take your clothes off as late as possible. This avoids catching a cold by removing your clothes too early before your body is warmed up. After sex, don't try to cool off immediately; instead, put your clothes back on as soon as possible or cover yourself with a light blanket while resting.
2. Maintain indoor temperature
Keep the indoor temperature between 23-25 degrees Celsius. If it is particularly windy, close the windows. Even if it feels a bit hot, it is best not to turn on the air conditioner and wait for your body to cool down naturally.
3. Avoid taking cold showers.
Many people are used to taking a shower before and after sex, but as the weather gets cooler, it's best to use warm water. This helps prevent catching a cold and promotes blood circulation. Taking a warm shower before sex can also help create a better mood. If the weather is cold, it's not necessary to wash from head to toe every time; you can take a short shower instead to maintain local hygiene.
