In summer, the hormones responsible for sexual attraction are activated. The soul requires sex, but the body is not always ready to go with it.

Another deadly danger is fraught with "drunk" sex. Alcohol raises pressure, and in a strong heat the heart can not withstand such overloads. To the lethal outcome can result and the use of medicines, strengthening sexual inclination.
People who do not have a permanent partner, under the scorching rays of the sun, it is much easier to catch sexual infections. At this time, pathogenic microbes are most active. Therefore, lovers of casual sex in the summer must always use condoms.
