Patient's question:
After having sex, I feel very tired. Why is that?Doctor's answer:
Sex is one of the deepest, strongest, and thus most fundamental activities in human instinct. Therefore, the ancients said: "Food and sex are the essence of human nature." However, things are always diverse. On one hand, sexual life is an indispensable instinct for humans. On the other hand, due to the immense psychological pressure of modern society, a considerable number of men and women have gradually developed the phenomenon of "sexual fatigue." According to surveys, among this group of men and women, those engaged in intellectual (or mental) labor are particularly prevalent. These individuals, who originally enjoyed a pleasant sexual life, have unexpectedly fallen into the of "sexual fatigue," leading to melancholy and difficulty in finding pleasure. They are young, in good health, yet they are indifferent and lack "sex drive." Nowadays, an increasing number of modern urban couples are experiencing a new kind of distress in their sexual lives, which some experts call "sexual fatigue."The passionate formula for intimate partners to overcome the of sexual life should follow the following points:
Formula One: No fixed standard for the frequency of sexual activity. This means that the position of sexual life should be properly understood. For some couples, having sex once a month yields better results and satisfies both parties. Others may need to have sex five times a week to feel satisfied. This is due to individual differences and cannot be forced. As long as both parties are honest with each other and openly express their feelings, they can coordinate and avoid mutual suspicion, otherwise, it will create a vicious cycle.
Formula Two: Sensual contact does not necessarily mean sexual behavior. Men generally believe that any sexual contact must involve intercourse, which is a misconception. Sexual life encompasses many aspects and does not always involve the excitement of intercourse. Women are most aware of this fact: a certain sense of tenderness is enough. That is to say, when she hugs you, it does not necessarily mean she wants to "go all the way." Perhaps she just wants to find a warm and comforting feeling.
Formula Three: Plan sexual activity. Sexual activity should also be planned so that couples can coordinate and synchronize. In fact, setting a "sexual life plan" can also be a very sensual enjoyment. For example, one man complains: "She usually likes to have sex very late, but I am already exhausted by then." As a result, the timing is off, and both end up sleeping without pleasure. It shows how important it is to have a "plan."
Formula Four: Add some romantic touches. When the two of you are alone, you can light candles and have dinner together; or you can cover yourselves with a blanket on the balcony, watch the moon, chat, and relive the tenderness of first love... Nowadays, many couples are also in vogue with a "lover's sexual activity" style, which involves occasionally staying overnight at a hotel. Enjoying sexual life in a relaxed way often brings a light mood, helping to alleviate stress and enhance intimacy.
Love has no fixed equation, and sexual life is no exception. Do you believe in the foods that can make you "in the mood"? You can improve your sexual life in just a few weeks with simple and easy methods—through food. Some experts in the United States have found that consistently consuming low-fat, high-protein foods can enhance libido and improve sexual life within six weeks. If you desire a night of passion, it is recommended to reduce your intake of carbohydrate-rich foods (which only make you feel sleepy) and increase your protein intake, as protein can make you more energetic.
Additionally, consuming a large amount of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals daily will promote the production of sex hormones. The following food list will help you fully enjoy the pleasure brought by sexual life.
Seafood: Seafood, like lean meat, is rich in zinc. Zinc is an essential element for men. A lack of zinc can lead to low libido, reduced sperm count, and even impotence. Approximately 5 milligrams of zinc are present in each ejaculation, accounting for one-third of the daily zinc intake. Therefore, the more frequent the sexual activity, the more zinc men need to supplement.
Eggs: Studies show that substances in eggs can effectively boost libido.
Ginseng: Do you feel tired and stressed? Consuming one gram of Siberian or Korean ginseng daily can help alleviate fatigue and stress, especially for those with high work pressure. At the same time, ginseng can also enhance vitality and increase libido. If men have erection problems, they can also try ginkgo biloba, consuming two to three times a day, with each dose being 40 to 60 milligrams. Ginkgo biloba promotes cerebral circulation, but few people know that it also promotes genital circulation.
Bananas: Because bananas are rich in tryptophan—a chemical substance that acts on the brain to produce pleasure, confidence, and enhance libido.
