Nowadays, we live in an era where sexual attitudes are relatively open, but unfortunately, due to the pressures of life and work, society is moving towards a low-desire direction. Many people may have already lost their pursuit of material life, which includes the pursuit of sexual desire. Since ancient times in China, there has been the concept of "Tongzi Gong," and many believe that abstinence is beneficial for the body. However, modern medicine considers this a misconception.
What changes occur in the male body with long-term absence of sexual activity?
1、Increased risk of vas deferens stones
The male reproductive system is like a faucet; no sexual activity means the faucet is not turned on, but this doesn't mean there's no water in the pipes. Men without sexual activity can still experience natural erections due to daily stimuli or morning erections. During an erection, a small amount of semen may enter the vas deferens and urethra. If a man abstains from sexual activity for a long time, the function of the vas deferens may deteriorate, and the residual semen cannot be expelled, potentially forming stones in the vas deferens.
3、Increased risk of prostate diseases
The semen ejaculated by men during orgasm is not just composed of sperm and seminal plasma; a large part of it is prostate fluid. Prostate fluid is produced and stored in the prostate and is mixed into the semen during ejaculation. In other words, the ejaculation process is a way for the prostate to replace its fluid. If a man abstains from sexual activity for a long time, the prostate fluid will remain in the body for too long, and under the influence of temperature and inflammation, it can breed a large number of bacteria, affecting the health of the reproductive system, and may even lead to prostatitis, prostate hyperplasia, prostate hypertrophy, or prostate cancer.
4、Accelerated aging
Sexual activity is a very complex process that requires the joint action of internal organs, muscle tissues, the circulatory system, and the endocrine system to complete. If a man abstains from sexual activity for a long time, the body's ability to secrete hormones will decrease, especially the secretion of pheromones and male hormones, which will be inhibited. This can affect a man's physiological vitality, may cause significant mental stress, lead to a decline in physical fitness, lower immunity, and accelerate aging.
5、Impact on sexual function
Long-term absence of sexual activity in men can be divided into two possibilities: older age, leading to long-term absence of sexual activity due to disharmonious marital life; and younger age, leading to long-term absence of sexual activity due to the lack of a stable partner. The absence of sexual activity causes more harm to the second group. Such individuals may overreact to sexual and sensory stimuli, and in their future lives, they may experience symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation.
Friendly reminder
Although long-term absence of sexual activity can cause the above adverse effects on the male body, excessive indulgence can also cause physical harm. Therefore, everyone should practice scientific moderation in sexual activity and pay attention to personal hygiene to maintain the best physical condition.
