Patient's question:
I and my wife work in different cities to earn money, so we will have a long time living a life of abstinence. Whenever we meet and want to enjoy some intimate moments, our sexual ability and pleasure are surprisingly much worse. I asked my wife, and she also said she had the same feeling. What kind of help do I need: What are the benefits of abstinence?Doctor's answer:
A normal man who abstains from sex for a long time will first experience an impact on the psychological level, causing negative effects, which can then lead to sexual dysfunction. This is because the corpora cavernosa of the male penis is rich in smooth muscle. If there is no erection and congestion for a long time, these smooth muscles will gradually degenerate, thereby affecting the congestion function of the corpora cavernosa. When necessary, masturbation can be appropriate, once or twice a week is recommended. Semen is a mixture of sperm and seminal plasma. It contains water, fructose, protein, and fat, as well as various enzymes and inorganic salts. Its color is milky white to light yellow and translucent. After frequent sexual activity, it tends to become more transparent. With normal sexual activity, it is milky white, and after long-term abstinence, it appears light yellow and more viscous. Approximately 2 to 6 milliliters of semen are consumed per sexual act.
