### What Happens to Your Body If You Stop Having S3x?

Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, a s3x and relationship expert, highlights both physical and emotional changes that can occur when people go without s3x for extended periods.

#### Physical Effects
1. **Men**
– *Penile Atrophy*: Inactivity can lead to reduced elasticity in penile tissue, potentially shrinking the penis by 1–2 cm due to fewer regular erections.

2. **Women**
– *Vaginal Atrophy*: Lack of s3x may result in thinner, drier vaginal tissues, shortening the vaginal canal and making intercourse uncomfortable or painful.

#### Emotional and Mental Effects
– Reduced physical touch can lower oxytocin and dopamine levels, leading to:
– Insecurity and lower self-esteem
– Emotional instability
– Increased risk of infidelity

**Conclusion:**
Regular intimacy benefits both physical and emotional health. While these effects vary from person to person, staying mindful of your body’s needs is crucial for overall well-being.
