Before going to bed, everyone must have different habits in order to get quality sleep, such as washing your face, brushing your teeth, or changing clothes with pajamas. But, do you have a habit of sleeping without underwear?
For some people, sleeping without underwear or even sleeping naked is still considered taboo. But it turns out that there are many health benefits of sleeping without underwear on. Check out the following benefits
1. Make the vagina breathe
Dr. Alyssa Dweck, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Mount Kisxo, New York, said that in general the genital area should not always be closed when sleeping. However, many people still choose to sleep in their underwear because they are reluctant to take risks.
The reason Dweck suggests sleeping without underwear at night is because bacteria and fungi like to breed in dark, humid, and warm places. Most of the day the genital area is covered with clothes and underwear - especially if the clothes you wear do not absorb sweat. This allows vaginal irritation and keeps the vagina moist.
Therefore, removing underwear while sleeping can be one way to make the vagina breathe. In addition, at the same time as an effort to maintain cleanliness of the genitals.
2. Maintain sperm quality
As with women, some researchers reveal that wearing tight underwear makes the testicles not free to breathe, which can increase the temperature in the testicles. Especially when you sleep with your pants on, which causes blood flow to the testicles to be obstructed. In the end, this can decrease the number of sperm produced. This indirectly causes poor sperm quality.
3. Improve blood circulation
When you decide to sleep without underwear, you reduce the risk of being stressed, rubbed, and even knotted in tight pants - especially in the groin area. This of course affects blood circulation so that it makes blood circulation smoother.
4. Reducing the risk of infection
You may think that when you decide not to wear your underwear to sleep, it will create a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. However, that idea has long been dismissed.
Dr. Gillian Dean, medical director of Planned Parenthood New York City stated that there is no scientific research that shows a direct link between being naked and contracting infections such as vaginosis infection or vaginal yeast infection. Sleeping without pants will actually reduce the risk of infection in the genital area because the vagina or genitals are not moist.
Don't forget, you have to make sure the mattress and bed are clean first before deciding not to wear underwear while sleeping.
5. Sleep better
Sleeping without underwear or even naked can also be a therapy to deal with stress. The reason is, by sleeping naked, you can move more freely without having to feel hot, tight due to clothes, or other things. This is what makes sleep more relaxed and sound.
6. Make the relationship more harmonious
For you and your married partner, even sleeping without underwear or naked will make household life even more harmonious. The reason is, you and your partner will feel more intimate by making skin-to-skin contact. This will also stimulate the production of the hormone oxytocin in the body which affects your mood, making you and your partner more relaxed in sexual intercourse.
