Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is closely connected to the surrounding environment. Any changes in the natural world will also result in corresponding changes in the human body. Therefore, with the changing climate, sexual health should also be adjusted accordingly. If the climate changes drastically and exceeds the body's ability to adapt, it can disrupt the balance of yin and yang in the body, leading to imbalances in qi and blood. In such cases, engaging in sexual activities can be detrimental to the body, and conception during this time may not be beneficial for both the man and woman, as well as the baby. On the other hand, when the climate is mild, the temperature is suitable, and the environment is comfortable, it is beneficial for sexual health as it promotes a sense of well-being for both the body and mind.
Spring:
During this season when the yang energy rises and everything is flourishing, individuals should let their thoughts, consciousness, and physical activities flow freely without any suppression. Sexual activity during this time should be increased compared to winter, at least without excessive restrictions. This can help promote metabolic activities in various organs and enhance vitality.
Summer:
With the flourishing and beautiful plants, people should also maintain a happy mood and allow the free flow of yin and yang within the body. Therefore, sexual activity during this season should be based on personal desires without excessive restraints, allowing the body to maintain a vigorous state during the time of "rising and flourishing yang." However, it is important to note that during extremely hot weather, the functions of the body's organs may weaken and excessive heat may enter the body, so sexual activity should be reduced accordingly.
Autumn:
As the weather turns cool and everything becomes desolate, individuals should calm their minds and restrain their vital energy. Sexual activity during this time should be more restrained, with a decrease in frequency, to prevent the excessive outward discharge of yin and yang.
Winter:
During this season when all creatures are hibernating and yang energy is concealed, individuals should strictly control their sexual activity and minimize the frequency. If one indulges in excessive sexual activity during this season, it can easily lead to weak qi and kidney deficiency, which may result in illness.
