Effects of Not Having Sex
Abstaining from sex doesn’t cause serious harm but can lead to minor changes:
- Stress: Lack of endorphin release may increase anxiety.
- Immunity: Regular sex boosts immunity slightly, but other factors like diet and exercise matter more.
- Emotional Impact: Absence of intimacy may cause loneliness, offset by friendships and self-care.
- Libido: Prolonged abstinence might reduce desire in some.
Healthy alternatives like exercise and hobbies can provide similar benefits, ensuring overall well-being without lasting harm.
