In today’s world, many people’s jobs and lifestyles require them to sit for long periods of time every day. Whether they are office workers, drivers, or frequent computer gamers, sedentary lifestyles have become almost the norm. On the surface it may not seem like a big problem, but in reality it has a significant impact on men’s health, especially their sexuality. Today we are going to talk about something that is ignored by many people but deserves attention.
First, sitting for a long time will affect the blood circulation of the whole body.
The blood circulation system of the human body is like a highway, the blood is constantly carrying oxygen and nutrients to the whole body. But if you do not move for a long time, especially if you sit for a long time, this “highway” will become congested.
The lower half of the body is most likely to be affected, because the legs are easy to sit when the pressure, the blood back to the more difficult, over time can cause vascular dilation or varicose veins in the lower extremities. What’s more, blood flow in the pelvic region will also be restricted, and here is the prostate and reproductive organs of the “nutrition station”.
The prostate gland is an important part of male sexual function, once the blood supply is insufficient, it is easy to cause prostate inflammation, edema and other problems. Many men have erections that are not hard enough and premature ejaculation. If you’re a good athlete, you’ll be able to get a lot more than you’re used to, and you’ll be able to get a lot more than you’re used to.
Two, sedentary, so that muscle strength deterioration, the body becomes inflexible.
The time to sit for a long time, the body’s muscles will gradually become “lazy”. Especially the abdomen, buttocks and legs of these core areas of the muscles, long- term exercise, will slowly become flaccid. Do not underestimate this, it will not only let you body shape worse, more will let your whole person looks no spirit.
Sex is actually a whole- body exercise that requires strength, endurance and flexibility. If your core muscles are weak, it will be difficult to maintain sexual positions, which will naturally diminish the experience. And a sedentary lifestyle also puts extra pressure on the spine and pelvis, and over time can lead to herniated discs, pelvic deformities, and other problems that can cause discomfort or pain during sexual activity.
Third, affect the psychological state, indirectly affect sexual performance.
Modern people work under great pressure, coupled with a lack of exercise, the mental state is often not at its best. A long period of inactivity can lead to a decrease in the secretion of certain “happy hormones” in the body, such as endorphins. During this time, you will feel more tired, stressed, anxious, and even depressed.
These psychological issues can have a direct impact on libido and sexual performance. Anxiety and emotional instability can make it harder to get in the mood and easier to get distracted during the process. In fact, the root cause of many men’s sexual dysfunction is not a physical illness, but the long- term accumulation of psychological stress.
Fourth, sedentary behavior is also prone to metabolic problems that affect sex hormone levels.
Studies have shown that sedentary behavior is closely related to metabolic abnormalities such as obesity, elevated blood sugar, and unstable blood lipids. These seemingly common health problems are actually closely related to sexual ability.
Obesity increases body fat, and fat cells affect the balance of hormones in the body, particularly by raising estrogen levels and inhibiting testosterone production. Testosterone is an important support for male libido, erectile ability, once reduced, natural “sexual interest” greatly reduced.
In addition, high blood pressure and diabetes will also damage blood vessels, affecting the blood supply to the penis, resulting in erectile dysfunction or even erectile dysfunction.
Fifth, change the sedentary habits, sexual ability can also slowly recover!
There is no need to be overly nervous when you hear this, as long as you start to pay attention and adjust your habits, your sexual health can still be improved. For example:
- Get up and move around for 5 to 10 minutes every hour you sit, you can stand up to stretch and walk around; – Include more simple exercise, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes a day, which doesn’t have to be strenuous to be effective;
- Pay attention to your sitting posture and avoid prolonged periods of sitting in a sofa or chair; – Maintain an ideal weight and healthy diet, and reduce intake of foods high in oil and sugar; – Communicate more with your partner about your feelings and reduce the impact of anxiety and stress on your sex life.
Summary:
Although “sitting” may seem like a normal thing to do, if you spend a lot of time every day without moving, the consequences can be more serious than you think. For men in particular, it can quietly damage sexual performance and lead to other health problems. Want to have better sexual performance and health, from now on should “get up”, move, walk, let life a little more vigor, but also let your “sex” life more lasting!
