As adults, we can hardly imagine going a long time without some ‘bedroom action. This is because it has become a part of our way of life and we have to satisfy our romantic partner whenever he or she comes calling for intimacy. However, one can have a mutual agreement with his or her lover to abstain from sex for a while in a bid to reap some of the benefits of abstinence. Also, if you have multiple romantic partners, you can decide to abstain from sex for some time to reap the benefits of abstinence, which could help to promote a better and healthy lifestyle.

Here are a few benefits of s£xual abstinence according to publications by Webmd and Everydayhealth that is worth knowing;

1. It Helps To Avoid Unwanted Pregnancy

For a lady involved in a romantic relationship with a man, the safest and most trusted method of avoiding unwanted pregnancy is abstinence. For a lady to become pregnant, copulation has to take place with a male and in the process, he releases semen into her v^gina which later becomes a pregnancy.

However, when you practice abstinence, you are free from any risk of pregnancy as no copulation takes place.

2. It Helps To Prevent One From Contracting STDs

We have seen a lot of adverts and advocates on how to prevent S£xually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) but one way or the other, some people still contract these diseases during intercourse. Amongst the different prevention methods we have heard of so far, abstinence has proven to be one of the best methods to stay free from contracting STDs. This is because when you abstain from s£x, you have no direct contact with someone who has STDs as the diseases can only be transmitted during intercourse. This is most beneficial to people who have different romantic partners.

3. It Helps To Increase One’s Focus

 

You can concentrate more on your goals and important activities because you’ve already taken thoughts of s£x out of your mind for the time being. This will generally make you serious and goal-oriented.

4. It Allows You To Enjoy Your Partner’s Company Without Having A S£xual Relationship

 

Abstinence is a good way to avoid being in a s£xual relationship with your partner. It prevents your partner from having s£xual discussions or advances towards you when you’re both together. With your partner having prior knowledge of your abstinence from s£x, he or she won’t bother you about anything related to intercourse but rather, you two can both have a nice time together by watching a movie, going out to a public place, or taking pictures together.

5. It Helps To Build Confidence

 

Just the way a good performance in bed helps to boost confidence, so does abstinence increases one’s confidence too. When you decide to abstain from s£x and you do so, you feel good about yourself for making a decision and standing right by it. This way, you know that you can always make a plan and achieve it, which is good for your confidence levels.

Having known these benefits you stand to gain from not involving in ‘bedroom action’ for a while, you should give abstinence a try especially if you have non-s£xual goals you are trying to achieve.

To effectively abstain, it is advisable to make a plan regarding the number of days, weeks, or months you want to stay off. Also, make a to-do list of things you want to achieve during the period of abstinence and act accordingly. By so doing, you become goal-oriented and have all thoughts about having s£x out of your mind till you have achieved your goals and completed the period of abstinence you planned.
