Men who sleep face-down risk harming their "essence"
Many male friends enjoy sleeping face-down. This prone position not only compresses internal organs and restricts breathing but also affects the reproductive system, especially harmful to young men.
First, prolonged face-down sleeping compresses the scrotum and stimulates the penis, increasing the likelihood of frequent nocturnal emissions. Frequent nocturnal emissions can lead to dizziness, back pain, fatigue, poor concentration, and seriously affect work and daily life. Young men are naturally more sensitive to penile stimulation, so they should avoid this sleeping posture. Those already suffering from frequent nocturnal emissions should also beware of worsening their condition.
Additionally, the scrotum acts as the "male refrigerator," requiring a constant temperature to support sperm production. Sleeping face-down raises scrotal temperature and hinders efficient heat dissipation, thereby affecting sperm development. Young adults not yet having children should be especially cautious.
What sleeping positions are better? Generally, the principle is to avoid compressing internal organs and promote rest. I recommend men adopt supine or right-side sleeping positions. These postures do not compress the seminal vesicles or heart (left-side lying compresses the heart), offering optimal benefits for the body.
