Why do I feel nauseous after sex?

There is a very small percentage of women who suffer from nausea after sex. The fact is that there are quite a lot of nerve endings in the cervix. Overstimulation leads to irritation of the vagus nerve. The body can respond to such stimulation by lowering blood pressure and a person’s heart rate. This can cause nausea, dizziness, and even loss of consciousness.

The minimum legal age for sex is 12 years. Sex is thought to be illegal for people who are 12 to 18 years old, but that’s not completely true. With mutual consent, there is nothing illegal about sexual intercourse, and the courts can consider cases using various precedents.

Regarding the oldest age for sex, there are no limitations. If you have the will and opportunity to have sex when you are 100 or 120 years old, then why not?

What is it called when you don’t have sex?

It’s called bad luck. You might just have to spend more time looking for a partner. Seriously though, there is such a thing as abstinence: a conscious decision not to have sex. This could also mean mutual abstinence with a partner for life or just for a period of time. There is also another notion – outercourse. It’s abstaining from vaginal sex for any number of reasons. So, any other form of sexual activity is possible in place of classic sex.
