My mother has always forbidden me from having early romantic relationships or excessive contact with boys, claiming that kissing can lead to pregnancy. I’d like to ask—is this true?

Hello, kissing cannot lead to pregnancy. Pregnancy occurs only when sperm fertilizes an egg. To increase the chances of conception, it is generally best to have intercourse during the woman’s ovulation period. However, sexual activity should not be overly frequent, as this may compromise sperm and egg quality and could potentially lead to symptoms such as kidney deficiency or qi and blood deficiency. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
