When it comes to sexual life, most people believe that something as private and intimate as sexual life is not suitable to be mentioned in front of outsiders, and that sexual life is only for the purpose of satisfying physiological needs, maintaining marital relationships, and having fun. Although this statement is correct, if sexual attention is not paid attention to methods, it can also cause harm to the body.
So, what issues should both spouses pay attention to during sexual activity?
Sexual health preservation is a major characteristic of ancient Chinese health preservation studies. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sexual activities can give birth to people and cause harm. For example, water and fire, those who know how to use them can maintain their health; those who cannot use them can become corpses." Sexual activity also follows the natural way, which can avoid unnecessary damage. Meanwhile, moderate and enjoyable sexual activity is beneficial for both mental and physical health.
What should be paid attention to in sexual activity from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, as it can give birth to people and cause harm? What are the taboos?
1. Sexual activity should not be excessive too early
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon mentions a law, "Seven females and eight males," which means that males undergo physiological changes every eight years. Under normal circumstances, a man is eight years old, with solid kidney qi and long teeth; At the age of sixteen, the kidney qi is strong, with kidney essence as the material basis, promoting the production of Tian Gui in reproductive function. When the essence qi overflows and can leak out, sexual intercourse can lead to the birth of children. However, relying on the abundance of blood and qi during such times, premature or even excessive sexual activity can damage the essence and qi. Like a flower in a garden, if it blooms early, it will wither first. Having sex too early can affect the growth and development of other organs, and even lead to various diseases.
From this, it can be seen that it is not easy to have sex too early, as well as the age and benefits of marrying later. At the same time, China's Marriage Law also stipulates that the age of marriage for men shall not be earlier than 22 years old, and for women shall not be earlier than 20 years old.
2. Sexual activity is indispensable
Sexual activity is a normal human nature, which promotes male and female pleasure, harmonizes yin and yang, and is beneficial for physical and mental health. The Eight Commentaries on Zunsheng "states:" The Yellow Emperor said that one yin and one yang is called the Dao, and deviation from yin and yang is called illness. The disharmony between yin and yang is like spring without autumn, and winter without summer. Therefore, harmony is the way of regulating the holy degree. As for the way of continuous harmony between men and women, it is also a normal physiological phenomenon to be content with seclusion to maintain innocence. Single life (i.e. deviation from yin and yang) can lead to bad emotions and even various diseases. The way of good life is not to prevent men and women from having sexual intercourse, but to avoid excessive ejaculation of essence to maintain a peaceful and innocent temperament.
3. Sexual activity should be avoided
Sexual activity is not something that can be done anytime and anywhere, such as when a person is drunk, angry, fearful, seriously ill, and so on. Sexual activity should be avoided to avoid damaging the body and even causing various illnesses. When overeating, straining the blood and qi, and overflowing into the large intestine, there is rectal bleeding and abdominal pain, and the disease is called intestinal depression; In anger, I tried my best to have sex, but my essence was weak and my qi was exhausted, leading to the development of carbuncle; Entering the room in fear, yin and yang deficiency, fainting and sweating, night sweats, accumulating into exhaustion "," Entering the room due to exhaustion from traveling is a result of five exhaustion and deficiency ".
Sexual Health Preservation 1 and 7 Losses

Being too shallow can lead to a decrease in female sexual speed, resulting in decreased libido, aversion to sex, and other negative issues.
