Stress is hitting Chinese people hard, fading away the joy of sex from their lives. This is the conclusion of a new survey, conducted by a US pharmaceutical firm and the Beijing-based China Population Communication Centre that tracked nearly 33, ooo people in 10 Chinese cities.
According to this survey:
Thirty percent of middle-aged couples have given up on sex altogether.
One quarter of couples aged under 30 reported similar problems.
45 percent of men in relationships suffered from erectile dysfunction.
These facts point to the grim situation that is slowly but steadily creeping into the lives of Chinese people and as stated above the root cause of this problem is stress. It means that worsening sexual health is just the tip of the iceberg, while a big part of it still lies latent. The basis to say this, are those studies, which have proved that stress nurtures several other psychological as well as physical problems, like:

Stress Fuels Depression by Killing Brain Cells
Stress: Your Child’s Brain Killer
Stress: A Key Factor Behind Obesity
Moreover, stress has also been linked to sleep disorders, which further prompts several other health problems, for instance it may tell upon cardiovascular health.
Here it is important to note that that like food and exercise, sex is also very important for enjoying a healthy life as it lowers cholesterol level, reduces stress, relieves pain, and boosts testosterone and estrogen. To have a better understanding of the benefits of sex go through the followings:

This shows that in order to keep Chinese people away from several health problems, it is important to keep them away from stress, which, in its first phase, is imperiling their sexual lives.
