can we do sex on amavasya

Aayan

I am kinda torn about something and really need some advice! My partner and I have been together for a while, and we’ve just started exploring our sexual relationship more. But there’s this whole thing about amavasya, and it’s driving me nuts. So, here’s the deal: my family has always said, “can we do sex on amavasya?” is a big no-no, and honestly, it makes me uneasy. I don’t really understand why though. I mean, there’s no clear reasoning that I’ve come across. A friend told me that amavasya is supposed to be an inauspicious time, but we’re both adults and we want to feel close to each other. I noticed that I get really anxious when the new moon comes around, and I kinda dread it. It feels super limiting! Like, are these beliefs based on old traditions or actual health concerns? I honestly want to hear from doctors about this. Can we do sex on amavasya without any negative consequences? Or are we being reckless? Is it purely cultural, or is there something real behind these thoughts? I just want to approach this with a clear mind, you know?

Doctors' responses

While the belief about avoiding sex on amavasya (the night of the new moon) is rooted in cultural or traditional perspectives, there’s no medical evidence that supports any negative health consequences related to sexual activity specifically on this day. These ideas are usually based on cultural norms and traditional practices, which can be significant in shaping people’s views and behaviors, but from a medical standpoint, there’s no reason to consider it harmful. This traditional view may stem from various cultural or religious interpretations, not health-related facts.

Sexual activity is a natural aspect of human relationships and, in general, assuming both partners are consensual and there are no contraindications for sexual activity such as certain medical conditions, it is a healthy part of adult life. If you’re feeling anxious or uneasy, it might be helpful to explore where those feelings are coming from and whether it would be helpful to discuss them with your partner, a counselor, or a therapist who can provide guidance tailored to your cultural context and individual concerns. It’s important to weigh how much weight you want to give to cultural beliefs against your personal values and how you and your partner want to navigate your relationship.

Ultimately, prioritize what feels right for both you and your partner. If traditional beliefs are a significant concern, perhaps finding a balance between honoring these traditions and making personal decisions that suit both of you might be the best approach. There’s no risk medically, but considering the emotional and psychological aspects is just as crucial for a harmonious relationship.
