Continence means a complete lack of sexual intercourses. The main symptom of continence is the utmost sexual dissatisfaction. Specialists gave this disorder of sexual behavior the following classification:
1. For the young people who have recently started their sexual life is quite characteristic to have the continence intervals, which can vary from couple of days to couple of months.
2. Conditional physiological rhythm. This category include young couples whose intervals of continence makes up approximately one week.
3. Single people. The interval of continence for this group of people can vary from half a year to a year and a half.
4. Syndrome of a monk. This state is characterized by the lack of sexual contacts for the period exceeding three years.
So let's analyze how continence can affect your life and what are the consequences of this sexual disorder.
If the period between sexual contacts does not exceed half a year, it won't affect your health sufficiently. The only problem that men may face is premature ejaculation during the first (after the continence) sexual intercourse.
But if your continence lasts more that half a year there is a certain thread that it can affect both your physical and your mental health. Men can acquire a strong fixation on everything concerning sex and sexuality. Their physical health also suffers because the erection becomes unstable shortening the time of their sexual intercourses and leading to various neuroses and other psychological problems. Such long lasting continence can cause that not only the first sex is going to "fail" but the further ones as well.
Women can suffer from a number of other additional side symptoms of continence. Beside the sexual necroses, they can get an addiction to excessive usage of make up and clothes. The majority of then become annoyingly flirtatious and aggressive. However the physical affects are not that serious as those of men. The only sexual disorder that can be observed in a woman after more that half year continence is a slight decrease of her libido.
The lack of sexual contacts for more than three years may turn into a real catastrophe for your health. In that case your body suffers a complete restructure of its functions. Both the physical and mental changes are irreversible. You sexual drive and libido can completely cease or get pretty low.
The most characteristic behavior for women in this state is indifference to their appearance and to men, necroses, severe headaches and apathy. The irritability turns into aggressive reaction on any outer stimulus. They can also suffer from cervical erosions, mastopathy that eventually can lead to infertility.
As to men, their fixation of sex turns into indifference and fear of sexual contacts, nervous lack of self-confidence and gradual regress of libido.
The reasons of continence can be different. Among them various psychological problems, too low or too high self esteem, detention, army, as well as sexual problems in the families with sufficient age difference.
As it was already mentioned, continence presents a serious thread for human health therefore it should be either prevented or treated in a right way. If you’ve become a "victim" of long term continence the best way is to visit a psychologist, because your own powers may be not sufficient to prevent or get rid of the destructive affects of this sexual disorder.
Separate groups which can also be impacted by continence are married couples. Here the continence is the result of "habitual" spousal sex. Besides addressing a qualified sexologist you can try and vary your sex life, apply your own creativity. You may practice different sex games, sex toys and other adult items, plan new exciting recreation activities or arrange a vacation in some exotic place.
