Sexual Abstinence: side effects?, by Tania Tokarski
Abstinence and chastity shade
According to the Web encyclopedia Wikipedia, sexual abstinence (or abstinence) is the "non-use of the genitals for sexual activity." The significance of the most usual being in a relationship with another individual, but also includes masturbation. They do not necessarily choose abstinence. Chastity, she wants a lifestyle choice, religious conviction or desire for spiritual uplift, for example.
Implications
In terms of sexuality, there are very few standards. Therefore it is difficult to establish a precise list of "harm" that may result from lack of sexual activity with a partner. For although some studies claim that sex is good for health, sleep quality and even IQ, we must keep in mind that sexuality is not lived only two: an orgasm solo bring the same benefits biological an orgasm for two. Must still be comfortable with the pleasures alone! Psychologically, however, abstinence can have some impact will vary from one single to another. "In periods of prolonged abstinence, I feel tense, and this, both physically and psychologically," says Cynthia, 30. "I have less concentration, I feel more anxious or aggressive. "
But all women do not react as Cynthia. According to Josée Leboeuf, clinical sexologist and psychotherapist, sustained abstinence can bring out in each person the "weaknesses" already present in his personality. For example, if you tend to depreciate, depress, to get excited or isolated, abstinence is likely to amplify these traits. One thing is certain: we forget the belief that persons abstinent for a long time might develop deviant!
Other consequences: some women are afraid of not knowing what to do, believe that their talents are lovers lost forever. A belief can be a real obstacle. "I'm afraid to resume a sex life and that hinders me in my efforts to meet somebody," said Nathalie. Finally, physically, a woman may be more difficult to lubricate and feel pain during penetration after several months of abstinence.
