Haven't had sex or practiced self-pleasure in a long time? Careful... it's obvious!
The effects of sexual abstinence (or rather, orgasm abstinence) on the body
Sometimes, even the skin can say a lot. That's why you should take care of it in the best way, but above all, decipher its language.
As a tantra masseur for women, expert in Ayurveda and Ayurvedic constitutions (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), I immediately noticed that a woman's sexual health is closely correlated with the aesthetics and health of her skin.
Sexual abstinence: how it shows on the skin
Let's consider some cases: for example, the first lockdown in March, April, May 2020, or the case where you've been single for a long time, or where you have few or very few sexual encounters, and let's add that you don't practice self-pleasure.
Well, abstaining from sex or going a long time without intimate contact with a partner or yourself can be very frustrating, we know that. But that's not all. Three sex therapists and psychologists have explained what the consequences are of a long period without sexual contact.
The skin speaks about the lack of sex
Sex is wonderful, so is self-pleasure, and even better if you reach orgasm. Experts say that not only does it count as physical exercise, but it is also beneficial for the skin.
Thanks to sex, in fact, the skin glows and looks healthy and vibrant! If, on the other hand, you go a long time without intimate relations (not even masturbation), the skin loses its glow and its natural glow effect.
According to Melissa Piliang, dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic, and Ted Lain, doctor at Sanova Dermatology: “Like other forms of physical exercise, sex increases blood flow to the skin, which will give you a brighter complexion.” The reason is the increased blood flow, which “provides a boost of oxygen to the skin.”
Sex, cortisol, and collagen
Sex and self-pleasure have great benefits both for the skin and against stress. Lain states that having sex reduces cortisol levels, the stress hormone, improving collagen production. Collagen is the protein that helps keep our skin elastic and smooth, however, high cortisol levels can physically damage collagen irreparably, leaving the skin with scars or wrinkles.
Dr. Piliang states that the increase in estrogen levels during sex helps to “plump up” the collagen, so even if you're a bit stressed, there's no need to worry. Finally, Dr. Lain states that the regulation of oxytocin, prolactin, and estrogen hormones helps to prevent unwanted flare-ups of menstrual acne.
The benefits of sex and orgasm on the rest of the body
According to Dr. Rachel Needle, psychologist and co-director of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, having sex:
- helps you sleep better
- reduces pain
- lowers stress
- keeps anxiety and depression under control
- and much more...
The importance of orgasm in sex and masturbation
Needle stated that these benefits are so important that people who cannot have sexual intercourse should still masturbate and have orgasms. The reason for this is that thanks to orgasm, the body releases endorphins that reduce stress, at least temporarily.
