It has been said many times and it has also been seen that, after a few years, the faces of both husband and wife start meeting each other. When two people from different families, backgrounds and regions start living together, how is it that they end up looking alike! Surprising isn't it? But experts completely agree on this point. They believe that not only the appearance, but the health of one partner also affects the health of the other partner. And when you change partners constantly, it can be dangerous not only for your mental health, but also for your sexual health.

Your health and partner

Having multiple partners is a well thought out lifestyle decision that some people make. However, having multiple sexual partners is associated with poorer sexual and mental health and a shorter lifespan. This can have many bad effects on a person's physical and mental health.

The number of sexual partners of a person is directly related to Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) like Genital Herpes, Chlamydia, Genital Warts, HIV/AIDS. This association is also associated with an increased risk of life-threatening diseases, such as prostate cancer, cervical cancer and oral cancer.

Now, most people believe that the risk of STDs, etc. can be removed by using protection, but it is not 100% safe even when using protection and following the guidelines of safe sex. Unfortunately, people can become infected with HIV or the life-long disease hepatitis 'B' virus.

Performance anxiety can bother

People with multiple partners also sometimes face performance anxiety and may find it difficult to maintain or maintain a relationship for a long time. There is no need to even talk about the damage caused to the existing relationship by this.

In the future, this can also lead to problems such as misconceptions about oneself, ineffective relationships and depression. There are many examples that show that healthy relationships lead to better health and longevity in the long run.

Remember that long-term relationships can lead to the best emotional, physical and sexual health. If you keep changing partners, you may have to pay the price for your sexual health and age.
