Women often underestimate the importance of sex, while men tend to overestimate it. Doctors, however, remind us that it is a natural physiological process. If a sexually mature person does not engage in sex regularly, their body will certainly signal this need. A doctor-blogger has shared the signals that the body sends, hinting at the need for intimacy.
In a short video, the blogger mentions common signs of abstinence, including acne, mood deterioration, and exhaustion.
However, these are not the only signs. We decided to expand the list, and here's what we came up with:
This is most noticeable in women. If menstrual pain was barely noticeable before, it becomes more intense when the body needs sex. Men also experience this, with any injury or scratch feeling more painful than before. This is due to a lack of certain hormones — endorphins, which are produced during sex and act similarly to morphine.
Sex boosts the immune system, reducing the risk of catching viruses. It is scientifically proven that people who have regular sex have 30% more antibodies in their bodies than those who avoid intimacy.
Ever wonder why men fall asleep right after sex? It's due to oxytocin, a hormone released during orgasm that has a strong calming effect. Next time you can't sleep or find yourself snapping at work, consider whether you might just need sex, as your body might be indicating this.
This fact might seem incredible, but it's true. During sex, blood flow increases, causing the breasts to enlarge. If you have a regular sex life, the effect is cumulative. A sudden stop in sexual activity can lead to a decrease in breast size, making your bra feel too large.
Distraction and poor memory can also be subtle signals from your body indicating the need for sex. American scientists who studied the sexual capabilities of humans found that during orgasm, blood circulation throughout the body reaches its maximum speed, enriching the brain with a large amount of oxygen, thus enhancing its function.
During sex, the amount of collagen in a woman's body increases, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles on the face. To always look as young as 18, it's enough to have sex 3-4 times a week.
