When a woman breaks up with her partner, she withdraws into her own world. A world without sex.
Partner therapist dr. Sarah Cooper he says that the absence of intimate relationships affects each individual differently. Some will think about them less often, others will think about them more often. Some will be stressed, others not. Every body reacts differently.
Let's see what happens in a woman's body if she does not have intimate relations for a long time.
1. Loss of libido
When it comes to sexual drive, there is a rule - use it or lose it. People who are sexually persistent eventually lose their desire for sex, explains Dr. Cooper.
2. Vaginal walls become thinner
If women do not have regular sexual intercourse in their mature years, the vaginal walls become thinner. Intercourse increases blood flow to the vagina and its natural moistening, which means that after a long period without intercourse, the vaginal tissue can become less moist and thinner. When women have sex again after a certain time, it can be very painful for them, explains Dr. Cooper.
3. Lower humidity
This also most often affects women in menopause, the problem is vaginal moisture after prolonged abstinence. Along with humidity, there is also the problem of the already mentioned thinning of the vaginal walls, which are the result of a lack of the hormone estrogen.
Young women in their 20s or 30s have a lot of estrogen, which keeps them moist. In women who are over 60 years old, there is very little estrogen, so humidity is also lower, he says dr. Lauren Streicher
4. Increased pain during menstruation
Painful periods may occur in women who do not have sex. Contrary to popular belief that intercourse during bleeding is not recommended, intercourse during menstruation can actually relieve menstrual cramps.
The uterus is a muscle, and many women actually experience uterine contractions during orgasm, which results in faster blood flow. Cramps are reduced, and menstrual blood flows more easily from the body. There is also an increase in the level of the hormone endorphin, which also helps with menstrual cramps, explains Dr. Schneider.
5. Lower risk of sexually transmitted diseases
Not only will you reduce your risk of STDs, but risk of urinary tract infection. Sexual relations are a big culprit in increasing the risk of urinary tract infection, says Dr. Streicher.
Most urinary tract infections occur within 24 hours of intercourse. The frequency of sexual intercourse is the best indicator of which persons will have more frequent inflammations or urinary tract infections.
