Why didn't the ancients live in a thunderstorm?

The ancients were very particular about sex. "Sex is taboo in personnel, but it is avoided in weather." Thus, it is very important to be happy, harmonious and beneficial to physical and mental health, and to pay attention to "the right place at the right time". Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, said in Qian Jin Fang: "Those who meet should avoid strong winds, heavy rains, severe cold, intense heat, thunder and lightning, the darkness of heaven and earth and the eclipse of the sun and the moon." Tao Hongjing, a famous medical doctor and Taoist health care scientist in the Southern Dynasties, also discussed in the Record of Nourishing Life: "Taboos in the room, the sun and the moon are dim, the string looks up and down, the wind and rain are bad, the ground shakes, the thunder and lightning are thundering, the cold is hot, the solar terms change in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it will not be seen for five days." It is not difficult to see from the above works that the ancients attached great importance to the "time" and "place" of sex. These views still apply today. Because bad weather will not only affect the mood of both husband and wife, but also have sex at this time, which may also cause visceral dysfunction, consume essence, and make evil spirits take advantage of it, thus inducing diseases. Special circumstances such as strong wind, rainstorm and lightning mentioned by Mr. Sun Simiao may also have a negative impact on male sexual function. If the husband and wife are in a gentle and harmonious state, sudden thunder outside the window will easily have a negative impact on men's psychology, and even make some people suddenly suffer from psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED). To put it bluntly, it is to "scare back" at once. The bad effects of this kind of fright are sometimes short-lived, but sometimes they need treatment to recover. Nowadays, people's lifestyle has been greatly improved, and the impact of wind and rain on sexual intercourse is much smaller than in the past. But the possible "accidental shock" still exists. For example, in the process of making love, suddenly the phone rang; During orgasm, parents or children push the door into the bedroom. These accidents may cause male ED, which is often encountered in clinic. In fact, if you pay more attention in your daily life, you can completely avoid these accidents, such as arranging furniture reasonably, not putting phones and mobile phones in your bedroom, setting the alarm clock to soft and soothing music, and checking your bed regularly. The most important thing is to check whether the door is locked before sex.
