Physical connection is not considered very important for women. Both physical and emotional connections are very important for them. If there is no deep connection, they find it difficult to be physical. On the other hand, for men, it is believed that they feel love only after being physical. But in reality, these are just stereotypes that have been created. Emotional connection is indeed very important for women, but physical connection is equally important.
For women, physical connection comes in the form of intimacy. The hormones released from their body during physical intimacy also cause many changes in the body. During the Covid lockdown, you must have seen how many people became victims of depression and anxiety. Was the reason for this only illness? In many cases, physical intimacy and human touch release happy hormones from our body, these hormones are necessary for the entire body.
Everyone knows about women's habit of overthinking. In such a situation, you can think for yourself what the lack of physical intimacy and happy hormones can do.
We spoke to Dr Bhavana Barmi, Senior Child and Clinical Psychologist at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute and Founder of Happiness Studio. She told us how the body senses that physical intimacy is decreasing. She mentioned many emotional impacts that women can suffer from.
According to Dr. Bhavna, physical intimacy provides emotional closeness and security. If this ends, women feel lonely. They may start feeling a lack of love and start feeling isolated from their partner. Lack of physical intimacy can lead to sadness or depression. Most people are not aware of this, but it completely depends on your reaction.
Women's self-esteem can also be affected due to lack of intimacy. Women may doubt their attractiveness or beauty. They may have problems with their body. They may feel that there is something lacking in them and hence they are unable to maintain intimacy. Due to a lack of confidence, they may also have trouble doing their daily work.
Physical touch and intimacy release oxytocin from our bodies. This reduces both stress and anxiety. Without it, stress increases and it can affect the entire mental health. Many physical problems also occur due to increased stress. For example, you may have problems like suddenly feeling dizzy, suddenly starting to cry, feeling sad, or showing the effects of aging.
Lack of physical intimacy also affects the relationship. You may have many types of misunderstandings. It is also possible that there may be emotional distance or you may start having many types of fights. Physical intimacy has a direct impact on the relationship.
Intimacy boosts the immune system. Your overall health can improve. Without it, women can feel physically ill. The main reason for ill health can be depression. It is also possible that you are feeling ill due to sadness.
This happens after both emotional and physical intimacy ends. Women start trying to end their intimacy with another woman or man. Such as taking emotional support from friends, taking up a new hobby, or getting emotionally or physically involved with someone else. However, the problem of physical intimacy with the partner cannot be eliminated.
Lack of intimacy can lead to many other problems. In such a situation, you need to take care of many things. If you feel any problem, then contact a doctor or talk to a relationship counselor. It may be better for you to improve communication.
