It is generally not recommended to have sexual intercourse on the day after cupping. Cupping therapy stimulates the meridians and acupoints on the body surface through negative pressure, which may cause local skin congestion or minor damage. At this time, sexual intercourse may increase the burden on the body or affect recovery. After cupping, the skin is in a sensitive state, with dilated capillaries and possible local congestion or slight edema. During sexual intercourse, there may be significant physical activity, which can exacerbate subcutaneous bleeding or muscle fatigue at the cupping site. Some people may experience temporary fatigue, dizziness, and other fluctuations in qi and blood after cupping, and need to rest to promote qi and blood balance.
For individuals with special physical conditions, if the cupping force is light and there is no skin damage, and there is no obvious discomfort in the body, it may be considered at discretion. However, it is important to control the intensity of sexual activity and avoid excessive physical exertion. Having sexual intercourse after cupping may affect the meridian regulation effect of some people, especially for cupping operations aimed at treatment. After cupping, the skin should be kept clean and dry to avoid exposure to wind and cold. It is recommended to avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol consumption, and consumption of spicy and stimulating foods within 24 hours. If you experience persistent dizziness, nausea, or severe skin bruising after cupping, you should consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in a timely manner. When conducting cupping therapy in daily life, it is recommended to arrange time reasonably to ensure that the body has sufficient recovery period.
