The Health Costs of Excessive Sexual Activity: In-depth Analysis of the Mechanisms that Weaken Disease Resistance and Physiological Warnings of Seven Major Sexual "Aftereffects" [i]

Moderate sexual activity is a sign of health, but it should not be excessive[i]. Frequent sexual intercourse will deplete semen and is detrimental to health[i]. Why does excessive sexual activity weaken a man's resistance to disease? It is generally believed that it may be due to excessive physical fatigue caused by frequent sexual activity[i]. However, according to current data, the main reason is that the frequent sexual activity of those who indulge in excessive sexual activity leads to excessive consumption of semen[i]. Semen contains abundant zinc, and its content is higher than that of any other body tissue[i]. If we calculate that each sexual intercourse consumes 2 to 6 milliliters of semen, a single sexual intercourse results in a loss of 300 to 900 micrograms of zinc[i]. It should be noted that the total amount of zinc in the body of a 60-kilogram man is only about 1.5 grams[i]. It goes without saying that excessive sexual activity may lead to zinc deficiency[i]. Numerous studies have shown that zinc is related to the synthesis and activity of various enzymes and has a significant immune-boosting effect[i]. Zinc deficiency leads to a decrease in spleen and thymus weight, thymus atrophy, reduced peripheral lymphocyte count, and decreased immunoglobulin levels, naturally lowering a person's disease resistance and thus causing illness [i]. Furthermore, semen contains an antibacterial substance comparable to penicillin-seminal plasma [i]. Seminal plasma can kill various pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus [i]. Undoubtedly, excessive semen consumption will affect the content of cytoplasm in the body, allowing bacteria and viruses to take advantage and cause certain diseases [i]. The "aftereffects" of excessive sexual activity are diverse: 1. Headache: Sex is an extremely complex physiological process involving many internal organs, including the brain [i]. Excessive and intense stimulation will inevitably affect brain function, making headaches unavoidable [i]. 2. Painful ejaculation: Some men experience pain in the penis, perineum, urethra, and lower abdomen during ejaculation [i]. This is mainly due to excessive sexual activity [i]. Excessive sexual activity, depletion of kidney essence, damp-heat accumulation, and blocked meridians can all lead to painful ejaculation[i]. 3. Anal pain: After a man reaches orgasm and ejaculates, strong and rhythmic contractions of the muscles of the penis, perineum, and anus are required[i]. If ejaculation is too frequent, the muscles of the anus become overexcited, causing spasmodic contractions, resulting in fatigue pain or local soreness and discomfort[i]. Therefore, when you experience eye fatigue or anal pain after ejaculation, you should consider whether you have been sexually overexerting[i]. 4. Stomach pain: Sexual activity too close to dinner time, and the widespread congestion of the sexual organs during sexual activity, reduces blood flow to the gastrointestinal tract, affecting gastrointestinal motility, and thus affecting digestive function. Over time, this can cause stomach discomfort or even gastritis symptoms[i]. Changing sexual activity to the morning and reducing the frequency can relieve stomach pain[i]. 5. Lower back pain: Excessive sexual activity or vigorous sexual activity can deplete marrow, damage the kidneys, and harm bones[i]. The lumbosacral joint is the most active part of the spine during sexual activity[i]. If sexual activity is too frequent, the nerves, joints, and muscles in the lumbosacral region will not have had sufficient rest before going into "battle," which, over time, will cause lumbosacral joint strain or lumbar muscle injury, resulting in lower back pain [i]. 6. Eye swelling and blurred vision: After each sexual encounter, varying degrees of eye swelling and pain, and difficulty in eye movement may occur [i]. The more frequent the sexual activity, the more severe and longer the eye discomfort will be [i]. Why is sexual activity linked to changes in vision? As many as five pairs of cranial nerves originating from the brain are distributed to the eyes [i]. At the same time, the blood supply to the eyes is mainly supplied by the internal carotid artery and the posterior cerebral artery. During sexual activity, the mind is highly concentrated, and at this time, blood vessels throughout the body dilate, reducing the blood flow to the brain, thus restricting the blood supply to the eyes [i].
