In fact, we can say that the purpose of meditation is to bring awareness to the person both within himself and about what is going on around him. Meditation is recommended by experts for people with high sexual performance anxiety or low libido to gain insight into the stress they are experiencing.
Of course, the question comes to mind: Can meditation really solve sexual problems? Psychotherapists talk about how to solve the erection problem of people with a method called mindfulness. Here are the details…
In fact, the purpose of this method is to teach the person not to run away from the sexual problem they are experiencing and to make the person understand and accept this problem.
The practice called Mindfulness includes a number of rituals such as various breathing exercises, listening to your body, and noticing your emotions. So the important thing for this application is not the past and the future. The only thing that matters is now. In fact, psychosexual therapist Aoife Drur says: Developing one’s mindfulness can help with erectile dysfunction’.
Because generally those who have this problem; It can be seen that they focus on thoughts such as “what if I can’t be enough for my partner or if I can’t satisfy him”. As such, for these people, sexuality ceases to be an area where they enjoy the moment. The reason why experts recommend this method of meditation is that they think it can reduce the activity level of the amygdala, which causes stress. In this way, you can stop being performance-oriented in sexuality by gaining awareness.
It is possible to have this problem when you are in a “fight and flight mode” while having a sexual experience and not in rest mode.
The teaching of mindfulness actually means this: How productive can sexuality be when you are in an anxious and irritable structure? Being in such a mode can make a person feel like they are in danger. According to sexual therapists, in such a situation, it can be quite difficult for the moments of desire and passion between the couple to come into play. Because when a male individual puts himself in this mode, blood is not pumped to the penis by the nerve and vascular networks. Thus, hardening is not possible.
In addition, those who have this problem have a characteristic that they care too much about the feedback they receive from their partners. Here, experts say that this will disappear with mindfulness. For example, negative feedback is scary for these people. However, the more people fear it, the more negative feedback they get. This can put them in a vicious circle.
Just enjoy the moment you are in.
Experts say that all kinds of distractions during sex negatively affect sexuality. In other words, if a man constantly sees himself as sexually inadequate in his head and is stressed about it, this can prevent him from focusing on sex. Because the person’s thoughts are quite distracting, there is no stimulation of the penis.
According to psychotherapist Richard Munn, by doing this meditation, people can become able to gather their focus points scattered during the sexual experience. In other words, when men do this meditation, they can learn to focus their attention again, so they can have an erection and maintain this erection. In this way, people listen to their physical senses. They can get rid of the negative thoughts in their heads and experience the pleasure of the erection they are in.
In fact, a study conducted in 2018 revealed that this meditation has a positive effect on erectile dysfunction. In the study, 9 out of 10 men with this problem were asked to meditate for 4 weeks. It has been observed that men who practice this meditation are able to get an erection and maintain it without losing it. People who want to try this meditation would be more helpful if they contact a psychotherapist or psychologist who has worked on this method.
