Sex is supposed to be a relaxing and bonding thing, but some people feel especially tired after every time they do it, and instead of relaxing, they get even more tired. Sometimes this tiredness is only temporary, but if it happens every time, and it also affects your daily work and life, then we need to pay attention to it, find out the reasons behind it, and then think of ways to improve it.
Why do you feel so tired?
It’s actually quite common to feel tired after sex, sometimes it’s just because you’re too busy that day or you didn’t sleep well the night before. But if it happens a lot, it might have something to do with your body, your mind, and your habits.
I. Physical Reasons
As we get older, our bodies are not as strong as when we were young. Physical strength, endurance, and recovery speed will slowly decrease. Sex takes a lot of energy, and if you’re usually weak, you’ll naturally feel more tired afterwards.
In addition, there are some chronic diseases that can make you more tired. For example:
Anemia: This condition impairs the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. You need a lot of oxygen supply during sex, and if you don’t get enough oxygen, your muscles will tire easily and you will feel tired.
Hypothyroidism: This disease will make the body’s metabolism slower, the energy supply is not, of course, more easily tired.
Second, psychological reasons
The psychological state also has a great impact on your sex life. If you’ve been under a lot of stress and emotional tension lately, even though your body is moving, you can’t really relax in your mind. Instead, your body is more likely to get tired.
Some people have too high expectations of their sex life, always wanting to perform well or feeling that it must last a long time. As a result, when they do it, they are too nervous and overexert themselves, but they make themselves more tired. Too much psychological pressure can actually affect the body’s recovery.
Third, the influence of lifestyle
A bad lifestyle will also make you feel tired after sex more easily. For example:
Staying up late often: Long-term sleep deprivation will disrupt the biological clock, the body’s ability to recover becomes worse, and it will be more difficult to recover after sex.
Overworked: Work too tired, the body is already very tired, and then sex is like working overtime when you are already tired, naturally more likely to feel weak.
**Lack of exercise: People who don’t exercise have poor muscle strength and endurance. Sex is a physical activity in itself, and a weak body is more likely to feel tired.
How to improve the situation?
As long as we make a few adjustments in our lives, we can actually reduce post-sex fatigue. Here are a few simple and effective ways:
1. Adopt good habits and adjust your lifestyle
Guarantee sleep: Try to go to bed earlier every day and make sure you get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night so that your body has enough time to rest and recover.
Moderate Exercise: Exercise can increase your physical strength and endurance and improve your health. You can choose jogging, swimming, cycling, doing yoga, etc., just stick to 2-3 times a week.
**Avoid overwork: Try not to have sex when you are very tired. If you are already tired, you may want to wait for a good rest before arranging it, the result may be better.
2. Eat healthy and keep up with nutrition
**Eat more protein-rich foods: eggs, milk, fish, chicken, etc. These foods can help repair your body and increase your stamina.
*Eat more fruits and vegetables*: Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help the body recover faster.
**Nourish the kidneys and nourish the body: Eat foods such as wolfberries, yams, and black sesame seeds in moderation; they are also helpful in strengthening the body and restoring energy.
3. Relax and Improve Your Mental State
**Learn how to reduce stress: You can relax by listening to music, watching movies, reading, and taking walks.
**Communicate with your partner: Sex life is a matter of two people, if you feel stressed or uncomfortable, you should talk to each other about it. With mutual understanding and consideration, your sex life will be more harmonious and less tiring.
**Don’t worry too much about performance: There is no “one size fits all” approach to sex. Each person’s physical condition is different, so as long as both parties are comfortable, there is no need to go overboard in pursuit of the “perfect performance.
When do I need to see a doctor?
If you’ve tried all of the above and you’re still tired after every sexual encounter, and it’s getting worse, it’s a good idea to go to the hospital for an evaluation. Your doctor may recommend a physical examination to see if you are anemic, if your thyroid is normal, or if you have any other chronic diseases. Don’t guess, and don’t be embarrassed to go to the hospital-your health is the most important thing.
To summarize
Sex is supposed to be enjoyable, but if you feel tired after every time, it’s time to take it seriously. By adjusting your habits, improving your diet, exercising, and maintaining a relaxed attitude, most people can slowly improve the problem. If you really can’t solve the problem, don’t put it off, it’s your responsibility to go to the hospital for a checkup sooner.
