Engaging in sexual activities is part of almost every adult. Getting intimate with one’s partner is a major thing in any relationship and people do not shy away from taking part.
You are in a new relationship and you and your partner cannot keep hands off each other. You are at it in the morning, in the afternoon, in the bedroom and on the kitchen floor. While this is going to build the both of you positively, it is good to know some side effects that come with it.
Dehydration
You are engaging your body in an exercise that will lead to sweating hence water loss. If you spend more time at it without re-hydrating, chances are you will eventually suffer from dehydration. This is not critical but it is advisable not to ignore.
UTIs
Urinary Tract Infections can affect anyone. However, engaging in too much intercourse raises the possibility. You are advised to drink lots of water and pee before and after your sessions to reduce the risk.
Trouble climaxing
Indulging in too much sex in a short period of time may make you have trouble with getting excited. This is because your body is structured to need rest after each session during which it recovers. Taking adequate breaks and pacing yourself is therefore important.
Hair loss
Sexual intercourse increases the levels of Dihydro-testosterone (DHT) in the body. This hormone is known to lead to hair loss. DHT kills hair follicles and causes male pattern baldness. As much as it is not immediate, this effect may hit hard years down the line.
Heart attack
If you have a history of heart problems as constant palpitations and gasps for breath, engaging in too much sexual intercourse may send you to a hospital bed. This is because the exercise that comes with it may be too hard for the heart to keep up.
Burns and bruises and injured nerves
Although this does not happen to everyone, most people suffer the aftermath of rough sexual activities that arise from friction generated. This will always heal though the feeling will definitely cause you some discomfort.
While you are advice to engage in as much intercourse as you can, sometimes taking a break I’ll do you better. It is however not established just how much is too much; every individual has their own level.
