Sex. Life is a cup of strong and mellow alcohol, addictive and able to melt the cold. But sometimes, people may enter a 'hibernation period' during sexual activity due to weather and other reasons.
The British magazine 'Men's Health' points out that as long as the following skills are mastered, sexual life will not 'pass the winter'.
Hibernation instinct. Physiologically speaking, winter is prone to loss of "sexual pleasure", which may be related to the descent of human nature due to the hibernation habits inherited by ancestors, in order to accumulate more energy and nourish the spirit.
Solution: Replace the desk lamp in the bedroom with a blue light bulb. A study in the British Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism suggests that phototherapy can increase a person's fondness, especially under the influence of blue light. Blue light can make people think they are in midsummer, thus adjusting the circadian rhythm of the body.
Wrong practice: Drinking alcohol helps with sex. According to an article in the American Journal of Psychology, alcohol can affect the body's "main clock" (a type of biological clock), further disrupting various life rhythms and causing people to give up some "secondary" needs - sex is seen by many as secondary.
Cold. Cold can cause a decrease in body temperature, retraction of various organs on the body surface, and a significant weakening of touch. For example, when men experience cold, they are prone to atrophy. American sex therapist Ian? Kona believes that if the skin temperature can be maintained at around 36 degrees Celsius, it will be more sensitive.
Solution: A study by the University of Illinois in the United States has found that there is nothing better than someone else's body to keep oneself warm. Skin to skin contact can stimulate women's endocrine system, like an aphrodisiac, significantly increasing androgen levels.
Wrong practice: Take off clothes or socks too early. A scientist in the Netherlands has found that when women's feet are warm, their chances of reaching a peak increase by 30%.
Weight gain. A study by Indiana University in the United States has found that people gain at least 1 kilogram in winter. But regardless of gender, subtle changes in weight can affect sex, especially causing people to lose their "adventurous spirit" in terms of sex and life.
Solution: In winter, eat wisely to satisfy your appetite without harming your sex. Research has shown that serotonin levels in the human body are lowest in winter and highest on sunny days. Eating the right food can stimulate the secretion of serotonin. Serotonin mainly comes from foods rich in protein, while foods rich in carbohydrates can promote its release. A pizza made from pure lean meat, fish, seafood, etc., paired with a bottle of red wine, is the best choice. Research in Italy has shown that women who drink red wine have higher levels of sexuality and can achieve even better peaks.
Wrong practice: Although chocolate can help with sex, it temporarily lowers the body's testosterone levels. For some women who are slightly overweight, eating chocolate can increase their sense of guilt and make it less emotional to enjoy sex.
