When is sex too much? How much sex is too much? These questions are quite dicey because what is too much for person A might just be the starting point for person B.
There is no limit to the amount of sex you can have, however, your body may show signs that you have had enough. When the vaginal during sexual intercourse starts to hurt and make you feel uncomfortable, it is a signal that it may need a break.
The definition of frequent sex is variable and if it feels good and doesn’t hurt, then sex at any frequency is okay,” Rebecca Brightman, MD assistant clinical professor of obstetrics, gynaecology, and reproductive medicine in the US said.
Too Much of Sex Effect on Your body
Basically, after having ‘too’ much, your body loses the ability to produce as much moisture as it did when you first started, causing the vagina to get dry leading to tiny micro-tear in the pubic area resulting in pain.
With too much sex, you risk vaginal and bladder infections, and the symptoms might not appear until later. Excess sex leads to disruption in the natural pH balance of the vagina and this can be prevented when you make it a habit to empty your bladder constantly.
An expert said “Semen has a pH of seven, which can support unhealthy within the vagina. That combined with too much friction from sex could increase the chance of bacteria from the vagina and anus finding their way into the bladder, causing a urinary tract infection.”
In a bid to prevent the experience of an unpleasant physical situation, it is important to talk to your partner. Conversation is very important during sexual intimacy, have a consensual agreement and breaks. Sometimes, the unpleasant experience might require medical attention.
Excess sex leads that require the intervention of your health care provider include vaginal tear, persistent or unusual bleeding, pain with urination, abnormal discharge, and persistent vulvar pain.
A sex therapist noted that there is also a psychological aspect of having “too much sex”, she noted that “one or more partners may feel overwhelmed by the expectation to perform sexually more than the other, and this can cause withdrawal and resentment.
