What Happens to Your Body if You NEVER Have Sex

Sex is everywhere. It's in the news, in the YouTube videos you watch, and in virtually every TV show or movie you've ever seen. But

what

happens

if you

never

have

sex? Would you explode? Would you die? It's important to remember that everyone is unique and everyone's

body

will react in different ways, but let's look at some common physical and mental side effects of

never

having sex. We will first look at the physical ramifications on the

body

if someone never has sex. There are a lot of misconceptions about

what

will happen to

your

body from a lack of sex (which we'll debunk later), but the truth can be even scarier.

Men who

have

regular sex and ejaculate more frequently have a lower risk of prostate cancer. This means that if you never have sex as a man, you actually have a higher risk of prostate cancer. The reason for this is that humans evolved, like all living things on this planet, to be reproduction machines. Whether you like sex or not,

your

body's main purpose is to reproduce, because that is how all living things evolved. The body needs to release old sperm to create newer, more viable sperm. As with other equipment, if the male genitalia is not used frequently, problems or system breakdowns may occur.

The precise cause of prostate cancer is still unclear, but studies suggest that men who have frequent sexual intercourse or ejaculation tend to have a lower risk. So if a man never has sex, at least he should masturbate. This will be a common theme. Some of the benefits of sex can also be obtained through self-liberation, but not all. Either way, if you are a man who never has sex, you should consider having regular prostate checks. For women who never have sexual relations there are different repercussions on the body. Sex strengthens the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder.

If a woman never has sex, she may have a weak bladder. This could cause leakage or incontinence. Sex is a physical activity and the muscles involved need a workout from time to time. If you never have sex, these muscles are not exercised, causing them to weaken. It turns out that if women do not strengthen the muscles used during sex, this can lead to negative effects on other systems in the body. That said, women can also achieve the benefits of sex through personal pleasure. It turns out that in humans simply simulating the act of sex can trick the body into providing many of the benefits associated with the act.

Another negative effect that women who never have sex may experience is that the vagina may be drier than that of someone who is sexually active. This is not necessarily a problem, except that it can be uncomfortable. So, if a woman has never had sexual intercourse and feels discomfort in her genitals, it may be due to a lack of lubrication around the muscles and organs. Again this problem can be solved by masturbating. At some point in her life, someone who has never had sex may want to participate in the activity. If this is the case, the lack of sexual relations in previous years can make the carnal act difficult.

If someone has gone their entire life without having sex, arousal may take longer than expected to begin. This could happen because the body would feel new sensations and, since they would be different from anything felt before, it could take a while for the necessary fluids to flow. This seems counterintuitive, since you would expect the body of someone who has never had sex to really want to function. However, the longer someone goes without having sex, the longer it takes for the body to prepare for activity. Her body needs to create and release hormones into the bloodstream, then increases blood flow to areas of the body that have never or very infrequently been used.

This may take a while, especially for someone who has never had sex before. Whether you're a man or a woman, never having sex may be linked to higher blood pressure. There are several studies that have shown that people who have sex regularly tend to have lower blood pressure. Therefore, the opposite may also be true. Someone who has never had sex may have higher blood pressure than if they had had intercourse. The most likely reason is that there is a correlation between having sex and the decrease of stress hormones in the body. If a person never has sex, those same stress hormones will be higher.

Someone who has more stress tends to have higher blood pressure. This is a serious health problem that a celibate person must be aware of. They should absolutely find other ways to reduce their stress levels and blood pressure. As we have said before, this can be done through masturbation, but there are also other options, such as meditation. Again, our bodies evolved to be sexual machines, therefore they expect to have a release every now and then. High blood pressure would definitely be a negative side effect of never having sex, but there's something else that sex can help your body with that you didn't even know about.

Having sex, or more specifically, having orgasms, has been linked to benefits for a person's immune system. Psychologists Carl Charnetski and Francis Brennan Jr. conducted a study in which they took saliva samples from people who had sex frequently and those who didn't, and found some surprising results. In patients who had sex, their saliva contained higher concentrations of immunoglobulin A, which is an antibody used to fight the common cold. Therefore, there may be health benefits to the immune system of someone who has sex. If this is true, then someone who has never had sex may get sick more often than others.

The reason for this increased immune system may have more to do with proximity to another human being during sex than with the act itself. So, unfortunately, this boost to your immune system may not be something you can get from masturbation, as it's just a party of one. So it would seem that never having sex can have negative physical effects on the body. But what about the mental effects? Are people who never have sex at risk for more serious mental health problems? Since everyone is different, there is no absolute definitive answer, but someone who has never had sex may be at higher risk for certain negative mental health problems.

As we said before, the act of having sexual relations releases certain hormones that reduce stress levels in the body. This can also be achieved through masturbation. But another important mental health benefit of sex is the feeling associated with physical intimacy; something that cannot be obtained through self-pleasure. Someone who has never had sex before may develop what psychologists call skin hunger or touch hunger. This is when the lack of close physical contact results in negative mental health problems. Intimacy during sex cannot be replicated even if someone spends a lot of time with other people. Physical contact and sensations during sexual relations are sometimes necessary.

If someone has never had sex, her body might react negatively to the lack of intimacy. It wouldn't be surprising if someone who has never had sex felt isolated or insecure. This could be due to a hormonal imbalance in the body due to lack of sexual contact. The change in the chemical composition of the body due to sex is not only because it feels good or pleasurable, but because it is something intimate and shared between individuals. If someone who has never had sex feels depressed or lonely, even if they are surrounded by other people, it could be because their brain craves intimacy.

In these cases, once again, we only have to blame evolution. Our DNA is selfish and wants to pass on to the next generation, so almost all of us are programmed to want to have sex. One way our body tricks us into copulating is by rewarding us not only with pleasurable physical sensations, but also with mental stimulation. The brain of someone who has never had sex may lack intimacy. This in turn could lead to negative mental health side effects. So in reality, for someone who has never had sex, her brain starts to rebel against him. When your brain is fighting you, it will be a bad time.

However, as mentioned before, everyone is different. Some people actually don't need to have sex at all and are still healthy and happy. This may be due to a low sexual desire or because the person is asexual. The human brain is a magnificent thing and can even override our biological impulses in some people. In others, the brain may be programmed to simply not want sex, and for these individuals, never having sex likely has no side effects. There are misconceptions based on what

happens

to someone who has never had sex, so let's discuss them. Someone may have told you that if a woman doesn't have sex, her vagina closes.

Not only is this false, but think about how many other complications it would cause for that person besides not being able to have sex. A woman who has never had sex will probably have a smaller vaginal opening than women who are more sexually active, but there is absolutely zero chance of the vagina closing completely. Even women who have never had sex still produce sex hormones, which means that although there may be discomfort or negative side effects from not having sex, they can still do so at any time in their lives. What it all comes down to is that everyone's body is different.

Some people can choose to never have sex and still live long, happy lives. They may have to find other ways to mitigate some of the negative side effects, such as lack of intimacy, but it can be done. We know that masturbation can produce many of the positive benefits of having sex. There are some risks to never having sex, such as a higher chance of prostate cancer in men and incontinence in women, but we live in a time where there are medical options to combat these negative side effects. What will happen to your body if you never have sex?

It just depends on who you are. But most of us will feel discomfort, especially in the genitals, and we will probably feel lonely or more stressed even if we are surrounded by other people. Sex is literally in our DNA, so while it may not be necessary, it might be difficult to avoid it.
