Why NOT having sex might be really good for you

We’ve all heard that sex is good for your health - it supposedly improves your mood and lowers your blood pressure - but not getting any bedroom action can also be a good thing too.

And whether you’re choosing not to get laid or you’re in a no-sex-rut, you could be benefiting with these things by keeping your legs shut for a bit….

You’ll become stronger

According to those who practice Brahmacharya (celibacy as a choice), sexual impulses make the body weak. Fearlessness, better eyesight and better memory are believed to be an advantage of this tradition.

You’ll feel more confident

If you struggle with body image and getting naked in front of other people, then if you’re not getting sex, you will feel less self-confidence. On the other hand, you may also learn to love yourself more when it’s just you in bed.

Pleasing yourself

Not having sex doesn’t mean you have to be celibate, you may learn how to please yourself through masturbation, and it will make for an event greater experience when the drought is over.

Less health risks

If you’re not having sex, you’re less likely to contract sexually transmitted diseases.

You’re richer

You don’t need to pay for condoms or the contraceptive pill when you’re not getting laid.

You’re immunity is improved

You time

Sleeping better

The more rest you have, the better you will feel. Who doesn’t love having a bed all to themselves?

Could lose weight

Most women put on weight when they first get into a relationship, but abstaining will also mean you have more time to go to the gym, less drunken dates and more sleep time, which helps boost metabolism.
