Sex or masturbation does not help cure a cold, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that having a blowout will make a cold better. A cold is mainly a viral or bacterial infection that causes general discomfort, such as fever, runny nose, headache, and weakness, and this state usually requires treatment and help to relieve the symptoms by taking oral medication or getting enough rest and drinking plenty of water. Sex or masturbation usually will not improve the symptoms of the cold, and may have the opposite effect, because sex or masturbation will consume part of the body’s energy, which is not conducive to the recovery of the cold, and may cause the symptoms of the cold to worsen. It is recommended to pay more attention to rest during the cold, avoid overwork, drink more water and try not to stay up late to promote the recovery of the body’s immunity.
