It is dangerous to have sex more than three times a week ―Expert

Sex is a very sweet thing for many people. But, how much of sex is too much? Sex has been known to burn calories but how many and depending on what factors, so it is very good for the body.

Sexologists warn that it is important to remember that though having sex between one and three times in a week is considered normal, anything more than that can have bad effects on sexual health, while the sensitivity of the man-hood may also decrease.

According to New Health Advisor, you risk the following health issues if you indulge in too much sex!

• Sex is a strenuous exercise, and one round of sex has been equated to 30 minutes of jogging. Therefore, having sex repeatedly without adequate hydration could lead to dehydration and exhaustion.

• The National Health Service advises that drinking plenty water after sex is a good way to avoid dehydration.

• Too much sex can lead to heart attack if you have heart issues.

• Too much sex can lead to lower back pain due to the heavy and consistent thrusting.

• Too much sex can also lead to prolonged Release due to the depletion of the semen levels.

• Sex is always most pleasurable when the session has just begun (first round), but there could be feelings of pains in the private parts when the sexual activity is sustained because the persistent rubbing during the subsequent ‘rounds’ could make the exercise painful for both man and woman.

• Men are more likely to have slight pain on the man-hood, and in extreme cases, fracture of the man-hood due to sustained thrusting in the absence of sufficient erection.

• Women tend to feel a bit sore in the vagina due to the brushing of the vaginal walls by the man-hood during penetration.

• Apart from suffering inevitable pains in the private parts, both of you can also sustain strained muscles and injured nerves due to direct overstimulation of the same spot in the private part area.

• During sex, the body releases norepinephrine, epinephrine and cortisol which increase the heart rate and trigger the release of glucose in the blood. All these activities are tiring, especially when done frequently. Indulging in s*x several times a day will drain all your energy and leave you feeling exhausted most of the time.

Badrinath, a Human Movement specialist states that sex is aerobic in some parts and anaerobic in others. “Sex unfortunately as practiced today, as an act of pent up stress, an act of lust etc will burn calories. But that by itself is not sufficient to replace jogging”. Badrinath focuses on the fact that jogging, running and other forms of aerobic activity actually help people to have better sex that last longer, helps them recover faster after climax and have more energy and endurance to last.

sex removes the fat content that sticks on to the body and wipes out all the toxins”. Gokul has been working out under the same trainer for the last 2 years and he believes if this is a solution for burning calories, then be it! Shreya, another regular visitor of the gym says that sex is an amazing way to lose weight and it also defies the statement “no pain, no gain”. “I don’t see anything wrong in having sex thrice a week, if not everyday.
