8 things that happen to your body when you don't have sex

A long period of celibacy won't have lasting effects on your health, but you may still be in time for change.

Experts have discovered what happens to our bodies when we stop having sex.

You may feel a change in your libido. Sex is a powerful thing. It has the power to improve mood and even sex once a week can increase life expectancy. Not having sex can affect your body, based on your health, age and even what kind of sex you've had. But if you are generally healthy and have only stopped having sex due to lack of a partner or conscious choice (and not some other physical reason), there are some changes you may experience. You may feel either a loss of sex drive – or an increase in libido!

You may usually feel bored. Sex is part physical and part mental. Sexual intercourse gives partners the sensation of caressing and skin-to-skin contact, and this can help regulate each other's moods. Without the benefit of these, you may be prone to feeling bored.

Your vaginal walls may weaken. In women entering menopause, if there is no vaginal penetration, the expression "use it or lose it" works. This is because, not having regular intercourse, as well as getting older, the walls of your vagina thin and can lead to painful sex.

You may have less lubrication . For older women, the vagina may need time to lubricate before you start having sex again.

The risk of sexually transmitted diseases decreases. It may not come as a surprise that the risk of sexually transmitted infections is reduced if you don't have sex, but the rate of urinary tract infections can also be reduced. But it depends on the type of sex you have.

You may become less intelligent . OK, not exactly, but two very interesting studies from the University of Maryland and one from South Korea found that intercourse improved brain function and brain cell growth.

You may feel more – or less – stressed. Like other psychological effects of lack of sex, this one is complicated. People who are less stressed tend to have more sex, but again it depends. Since sex can also be a stress reliever for you, the fact that you can't have it can cause an increase in your stress level.

You remember physical fitness for sex. Although some groups, such as menopausal women, may experience long-term effects from not having sex, your body usually remembers how to do it.
