Living beings have two innate characteristics, the first being survival, and the second being reproduction. Whether it’s flowers, plants, or animals, they all adhere to these two great missions.
From this perspective, intimate relations are supreme; they not only satisfy natural human desires but are also an essential factor for the continuous development of human civilization. According to modern scientific discoveries, for men, maintaining a moderate frequency of intimacy is not only beneficial for relieving psychological stress but also promotes marital harmony and overall health and longevity. However, some taboos related to intimacy may actually harm physical health, so caution is advised.
After intimacy, men should avoid doing these 4 things hastily, especially the 3rd one, as the prostate cannot tolerate it
First: Avoid rushing to take a shower
Intimacy is a very intense activity. During this activity, the body secretes a large amount of adrenaline, causing a rapid heartbeat, increased blood circulation, and significant energy consumption.
Due to the secretion of adrenaline during intimacy, once it’s over, the body is at its weakest state. Many people feel “physically drained” afterward. If one immediately takes a shower or bath, the adrenaline-induced vasodilation could lead to severe constriction, imposing a huge burden on the cardiovascular system. This can even trigger diseases like myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction in individuals with preexisting cardiovascular conditions.
Therefore, after intimacy, one should refrain from immediately cleaning up but instead wait for the body to gradually stabilize before using warm water to cleanse.
Second: Avoid rushing to drink cold beverages
Many individuals hydrate with a glass of cold water after intimacy to quench their thirst. However, intimacy leads to reduced blood supply to the stomach and intestines, suppressing their function. Drinking cold water immediately after intimacy can cause stomach damage due to chilling effects. In severe cases, it may even lead to severe stomach pain. If thirst is unbearable after intimacy, it’s advisable to drink warm water instead.
Third: Avoid rushing to urinate
Men who rush to urinate after intimacy may pose a certain risk to the prostate. The male urethra is curved, and after intimacy, when the erectile tissue is still engorged, the urethral resistance increases. This can lead to difficulties in urination, and if forcing urination, there’s a possibility of urine flowing back into the prostate. Since urine is a collection point for metabolic waste in the blood, backflow into the prostate can pose significant risks, potentially leading to prostatitis. Therefore, men should wait until the erectile tissue has returned to normal before urinating.
Fourth: Avoid rushing to smoke
“A cigarette after intimacy” is a common habit for many men and an essential part of the post-intimacy routine. However, after intimacy, the body’s blood circulation has not fully recovered, and the blood vessels are still dilated, with the continued secretion of adrenaline. Lighting a cigarette at this time can stimulate additional adrenaline release due to nicotine, while harmful substances like carbon monoxide are absorbed into the bloodstream. This can lead to systemic oxygen deficiency, particularly affecting the brain, causing more severe damage to the body. Many individuals experience dizziness after smoking post-intimacy, which is an indication of brain oxygen deficiency.
According to a study from the UK, the harm caused by smoking “a cigarette after intimacy” is ten times greater than usual, so it’s recommended to wait for about 30 minutes before smoking post-intimacy.
These 4 things that should not be rushed after intimacy, do you usually do them? If you do, it’s time to correct these habits!
