There are many causes your bed life may have hit a brick wall. Maybe you're going through a breakup. Perhaps you or your partner has been sick. Or maybe it's just life, kids, work, or travel getting in the way.
A few days can turn into weeks or months, and before you know it, you haven't had s *x in so long that you kind of stop missing it. Except, not having it has just become your new normal.
We all go through our s*xuaI ruts from time to time. And while they suck in the respect that we're not getting any and we're bitter about it, it turns out that our body is having very REAL reactions to the lack of nookie.
Here are 7 things that happen when you stop rolling in the hay!
1. Your immune system becomes vulnerable and you get sick more frequently
Studies show that people that have a less active s#x life than others have a weaker immune system. That means that germs and infections are more likely to affect your body. In the end, it will lead to you getting sick more often.
2. You get irritable and stressed
People that have more s# x are less likely to get stressed. That’s because s* x releases anti-stress hormones and makes you more relaxed. S# x also makes you less irritable.
3. You get a hard time getting ar0 used (no pun intended)
In many ways s #x is like working out. The less you do it, the worse you’ll feel. And like most sports, practice makes perfect. If you don’t practice it will get harder next time. Men can experience troubles getting ere cti0ns and women may have a hard time reaching orga$ m.
4. Your dreams may change
It’s common that you start dreaming of s #x if your s* x life is suffering. Some people get vivid s *x dreams and may have orgasms in their sleep. But having s *x dreams is common. About 8 percent of nighttime reveries involve some sort of s xual activity, according to a University of Montreal study, with women getting it on in dreamland just as frequently as men.
5. You lose your libido
Contrary to popular belief you don’t get “h0rnier” off you go a long time without s 3x. It’s the other way around. If you stop having s# x your body will start decreasing the production of s3 x hormones. If you become abstinent you will feel less like having s3 x.
6. You’ll lose sleep
S3 x is a great way to go to sleep. After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness.
7. The risk of cancer increases
S 3x may help men to ward of prostate cancer. Studies have shown that men who ejaculate frequently have a less likely risk of getting prostate cancer. And also, if you have an active s 3x life you are less prone to heart disease.
