People have less sex on December 15 than on other days of the year, according to British family doctor Babak Ashrafi, a consultant specialist at online medical service Superdrug Online Doctor. Reasons for this include seasonal affective disorder, stress and the woman’s vagina drying out due to cold weather. In this respect reports Daily mail.
According to Ashrafi’s own calculations, December 15 is the day people are least likely to have sex. But all winter months are accompanied by a decrease in sexual activity. The doctor explained that cold weather can cause dehydration of the entire body (facial skin, hair and vagina). The use of heating devices at home makes the air even drier, resulting in a decrease in women’s libido and discomfort during sexual intercourse with a partner. In addition, the level of sexual desire can also be affected by vacation and stress before the holiday period.
Another reason for reluctance to have sex may be SAD – seasonal affective disorder. It is characterized by seasonal periodicity of major depressive episodes. The disease worsens in winter due to lack of sunlight. A person may experience weakness, lethargy, decreased mood, and lack of motivation to perform usual actions and tasks.
To improve your health, Ashrafi recommends going outside more often during the day. If depression symptoms worsen, you should consult your doctor. It is also stated that physical exercise can increase libido.
