How long should sex last?
There are many reasons why your sex life is dull. Break up, work stress, hectic schedules and a lot of travel is some of the many reasons why sex is stalled in many peoples lives. When you are in the phase of sex abstinence, there is a lot that happens to your body. If you didnt know of it yet, here are the lists of things that happen when you stop having sex for a long time. 1. Your anxiety will increase  Some studies suggest that people who do not have sex for a long time find it difficult to cope with stress in comparison to those who have sex often. While having sex, the brain is said to release a chemical call endorphins that plays a big role in making your mood better. So no sex means no chemicals like endorphins and thus it becomes very difficult to cope with any kind of stressful situation. 2. Men will be have to be careful of prostate cancer  Men who havent had sex for a very long time will have to watch out for prostate cancer. Several studies say that men who have sex regularly have lesser chances of getting a prostate cancer, by 20 per cent at least. Ejaculations help eliminate all the harmful substances that may be one of the causes of prostate. 3. You will be more vulnerable to flu  Your immune boosting advantages will come to a halt when you stop having sex. You will be more exposed to germs and you might even fall ill often. So lesser sex also means falling sick more often. 4. Lesser risk of UTIs  Most UTIs happen within 24 hours of sex, almost 80 % of them. While having sex, the bacteria travels to the urethra and thats what causes infection. So for women, having sex can prove useful since there will be hardly any UTI problems. 5. If in a relationship, insecurities will just increase  If you are in a relationship and there is very less sex, then chances of insecurities growing is high. A marriage or relationship without sex is said to be because of lack of love. There will be fears that your partner may look outside for sex and you will start doubting about his/her feelings for you. Sex is a form of expression of love and intimacy for several couples. So when there is no sex, even when the reasons are genuine, doubts start creeping into the relationship. 6. You might no long feel like having sex  Longer abstinence from sex may completely take you off from sex. When you havent got it for quite sometime, your libido will be affected and you wont just feel like doing it anymore. 7. You might fall out of love  If you are in a relationship and there is no physical intimacy, you might fall out of love from your partner. You will no longer feel the same connection and you will start finding other people more attractive than your partner. Before this goes out of hand, you must have a talk about it. This what happens to you and your body when you do not have sex for a very long period of time.
