Couples should not have sex immediately after taking a bath

Being able to take a comfortable bath together before sex not only improves hygiene but also enhances the relationship between couples. Most couples have no objection to this behavior. But from a medical point of view, having sex immediately after taking a shower may lead to adverse sexual dysfunction such as impotence, affecting the quality of sex life.

This is because the human body has an automatic regulatory function for blood flow, and whenever an organ is busy, some blood will be "mobilized" to that organ. After taking a bath, the temperature and friction cause the blood to flow to the skin and stay there for a while. At this time, when having sex, the sexual organs "grab" blood from the skin, which will cause a conflict in blood distribution.

We all know that the penis becomes erect because a large amount of blood flows into the corpus cavernosum, making it hard and erect. If the sexual organ does not get enough blood, it can easily cause sexual dysfunction such as impotence and erectile dysfunction, affecting the quality of sex life.

It is okay to have weak erections once or twice occasionally, but if it happens for a long time, the skin and penis will compete for blood, and the blood circulation in the body will always be in an unbalanced state, which will not only affect sexual function, but also cause a relatively insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, which can easily cause dizziness, palpitations, fatigue and even fainting. Therefore, it is not recommended for couples to have sex immediately after taking a bath.

Since bathing can damage sexual function, can we ignore the habit of bathing hygiene? The answer is of course no, because the male and female reproductive organs are hidden in clothes and rarely see sunlight, which is the place where bacteria and viruses survive and multiply. Common vaginitis, balanitis, gonorrhea, etc. are all related to unclean sexual organs during sexual intercourse. Therefore, it is very necessary to keep the perineum clean.

So how can you take a bath to keep your reproductive organs clean without affecting your sexual function? First, you must take a small bath and pay attention to hygiene: that is, clean the reproductive organs locally, replacing bathing with simple local cleaning.

It should be noted that after washing, do not wipe the sexual organs with the changed underwear, and wash your hands carefully with hand sanitizer; second, take a break to enhance sexual interest: after taking a shower, it is best to rest for half an hour. The couple can chat intimately, say things that the other party likes to hear, adjust the atmosphere of the sexual life, and wait until the blood flow to the skin returns to normal, then it will be more appropriate to have sex.
