Physical closeness and s3xual activity stimulate the release of hormones such as oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins. These chemicals support mood regulation, stress reduction, and a sense of well-being. When intima:cy decreases, these hormones may be released less frequently, which can contribute to feeling emotionally flatter or more easily stressed.<\/p>\n<p>In women, aging already brings hormonal shifts related to menopause, which can affect libido, vaginal health, and comfort. In men, testosterone levels naturally decline over time, influencing energy, muscle mass, and s3xual desire. While reduced intimacy does not cause these changes, it can amplify their impact by removing one of the body\u2019s natural sources of hormonal balance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As people grow older, changes in intima:cy are common and often misunderstood.
