One of the most relevant things in a couple is the sexual activity between the individuals who form it. Or so it was thought until now. According to some sexologists and experts, the lack of sexual relations could benefit the couple. However, they point out that this sexual abstinence is good for a certain period of time and is not a universal solution for all existing couples. However, it has been observed that, in some cases, it can help to explore other forms of intimacy, to create a much stronger connection between the two and to recover that sexual desire that may have been lost
The benefits of sexual abstinence as a couple
Among the benefits, experts mention several and very diverse ones of having a time to practice sexual abstinence as a couple
The cessation of sexual activity in a couple can encourage greater communication between the partners. In fact, according to experts, this absence of sex can encourage discussion of issues such as needs, desires and sexual expectations of both partners. This makes communication better and more fluid.Linked to the previous benefit, the emotional connection is strengthened. This will obviously strengthen the relationship in turn.

In addition, sex can overshadow other forms of intimacy. By temporarily eliminating sex, you can begin to explore other forms of intimacy such as hugging, kissing, massaging or other activities that foster that unique connection in the couple. If we also take into account that this voluntary abstinence can generate greater desire, we will also be making progress in this regard
On the other hand, we often forget that it is not only important to take care of the relationship, but we must also bear in mind that our well-being is important. Having a little more time can be good for improving mood and self-esteem, paying more attention to what is needed on an individual level
We must take some considerations into account
While temporary sexual abstinence may be a solution for some couples, experts warn that some considerations should be taken into account
One of the keys is that if you and your partner are going through a difficult time, you should seek help from a professional. Couples therapists or sexologists are a very effective solution to facilitate communication between the members of the couple.
On the other hand, not all couples are the same. The duration of this abstinence, how to carry it out or whether to do it or not; will depend a lot on the situation of each couple. What is important is that it is always done in consensus between both parties. Moreover, as mentioned above, this is not a universal solution as it will depend very much on the situation of each individual or individuals
If these measures are not taken consensually or with the help of a professional, there could be possible side effects. This lack of sexual intercourse could lead to stress, anxiety or sleep problems.

<!--> The Boston Red Sox have had a chance in games whenever Garrett Crochet has been on the mound this season.Except for one pitch in Friday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the New York Yankees, he again proved to be the antidote to slugger Aaron Judge.Crochet held New York scoreless over a career-high 8 1/3 innings, striking out the Yankees slugger three times while holding the rest of New York's lineup to four hits with seven total Ks.But with Boston clinging to a 1-0 lead and Crochet back on the hill to try to finish the game in the ninth, his fourth time facing Judge proved costly.

MLS and the MLS Players Association are still at odds as it pertains to player bonuses regarding the Club World Cup, hours before Inter Miami play Al Ahly in the opening match of the newly expanded competition on Saturday.The source of the dispute is a section in the current collective bargaining agreement, which only allows players to collect 50% of prize money from outside tournaments and caps their earnings at $1 million.
