Medical Experts Reveal: Does Winter Really Decrease Sexual Desire?

Medical experts are exploring whether winter genuinely decreases sexual desire, providing 3 key strategies to revive intimacy during the cold season. According to Yu Yawin, a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, seasonal changes naturally affect sexual desire as the body adjusts to different environmental conditions. She explains that winter is like a 'hibernation' period where bodily energy turns inward, closely connected to kidney functions that control life energy and sexual performance. The doctor recommends three main approaches to maintaining sexual health during winter: adequate rest to accumulate energy, keeping the body warm to stimulate blood circulation, and consuming nutritious foods that gently support overall wellness. Yu emphasizes that sexual activity, when balanced and regular, helps maintain hormonal equilibrium and is not just about intimacy, but also an essential aspect of health maintenance.
