Having sex is a perfectly normal thing between couples, but under what circumstances is it inappropriate to have sex? This is something you should know.
1. Alcohol Danger Level: ★★★★★
Whether it truly originates from ancient customs or is a romantic invention by some director, alcohol has become a common aphrodisiac in movies. Shakespeare first pointed out that "wine stimulates passion, but renders action futile." Indeed, alcohol superficially enhances sexual desire, but in reality, it degrades it. Traditional Chinese medicine has long believed that sexual activity after drinking depletes energy and damages essence. While the excitability of the brain's nervous system temporarily increases after drinking, sexual function temporarily declines. Women may experience ovarian dysfunction, affecting normal ovulation; men may experience erectile dysfunction or shortened duration of intercourse. Sexual activity after drinking can also increase testosterone-binding globulin in men, damaging the testes and weakening their ability to produce testosterone (sex hormone). Furthermore, 70% of sperm may be underdeveloped after drinking; if conception occurs under these circumstances, 26% of the fetus will have health problems, especially intellectual disabilities. The most natural aphrodisiac.
Tip: Whether you choose imported champagne, spirits, draft beer, or wine which is usually labeled as healthy, abstain from sex for two hours after drinking.
2. Danger level of hot bath: ★★★★
Before engaging in sexual activity, taking a clean and hygienic shower is certainly acceptable. However, many people use a long, intimate bath together as foreplay. In reality, a hot bath exceeding five minutes depletes a significant amount of energy, and since sex requires sufficient energy reserves, the duration of intercourse is often shortened under these conditions. Furthermore, as the body relaxes under the influence of hot water, entering a resting state, organs are less likely to become quickly aroused. Vigorous intercourse can cause rapid congestion and damage to the sexual organs, and rapid pulling movements can easily injure muscle fibers. Most importantly, a prolonged hot bath reduces sensitivity, especially in women, making it significantly more difficult to reach orgasm.
Tips: If you're cleaning your body before sex, keep it under 5 minutes; if you want to enjoy a romantic bath together, save your intimate time for after sex.
3. Erotic film danger level: ★★
If we trace the origins of erotic films, one of the reasons they exist is to increase the level of sex hormones in the body by a few percentage points before sex. However, recent research has found that increasingly erotic visual stimulation causes extreme excitement in the human nervous system. During sex under such high stimulation, the brain is often in a state of oxygen deficiency. While temporary brain hypoxia may enhance the dreamlike sexual pleasure for some, prolonged oxygen deficiency exceeding physiological limits will lead to dizziness and weakness. These symptoms should not be mistaken for normal aftereffects of intense sex; they are actually manifestations of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Over time, this can damage heart and brain function.
Tip: Try using more "natural" stimuli such as touching and kissing to arouse desire, and of course, your sweet words.
4. Danger level of arguments: ★★★★
As the saying goes, "quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed," meaning that couples often resolve their emotional conflicts through physical intimacy after an argument. However, after an argument, the body is filled with the seven emotions of joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and shock. At this time, the body's Qi and blood circulation is disordered and stagnant, and vital energy is blocked. If sex is performed under such circumstances, it will exacerbate the abnormal circulation of Qi and blood, creating various health risks. Especially when one partner is in a bad mood, forcing sex is more likely to generate negative emotions and backfire.
Tip: Even if you have forgiven each other after an argument, take a break and wait for your emotions to completely calm down.
5. Fatigue Risk Index: ★★★★
Many busy office workers "insist" on having sex at night despite being exhausted. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this damages vital energy and harms the kidneys. Moreover, a tired body makes it difficult to reach its optimal state, making orgasm almost unattainable. If both partners experience physical and psychological fatigue due to exhaustion, they may even develop feelings of reluctance and aversion, which, over time, could lead to frigidity in some sensitive individuals.
Tips: Get some sleep first and rest well before having sex; or keep two pieces of chewing gum by your bedside and try the already popular "morning sex" the next morning. Don't worry about being exhausted the next day; the German women's football coach has confirmed that morning sex keeps the players energized all day.
6. Risk level of a large meal: ★★★
Even if the meal contains aphrodisiac foods that will arouse your sexual desire, you should not have sex on a full stomach. Otherwise, your sexual organs, brain, and other organs will compete with your stomach and intestines for blood supply, which will not only lead to indigestion but also cause systemic blood circulation disorders. People often feel soreness in their lower back and hips, and those with weaker stamina may even experience dizziness and nausea. Vigorous movements may also trigger acute appendicitis.
