Yoga and Male Sexuality

Can a series of poses, deep breathing, and meditation really improve your sex life?  Absolutely!

To begin with, to have a fulfilling sex life, you must be in good health.  And yoga postures and breathing help promote a state of optimal health.  The healing power of yoga is very strong—so strong that men who are impotent can regain their potency as they regain their overall health. 

Let's discuss the poses (also known as asanas).  Certain asanas open up the hip and groin, loosen up the pelvis, massage the prostate, and promote healthy blood flow to the reproductive and pelvic areas.  In Kundalini yoga, specific poses affect certain chakras, which directly impact sexuality by unleashing and increasing sexual energy.  What is one of today's biggest sex killers for men?  Fatigue.  The stretching sends greater blood flow to the muscles, which stimulates all the nerve endings.  This makes the practitioner feel more alive and energized, and therefore more in the mood.

Yoga relaxes the mind as well as the body, and a relaxed mind is key for a harmonious sex life. Some believe that the inflammatory chemicals secreted when you are under stress dampen the reproductive system, and it is a well-known fact that stress causes blood to flow away from the genitals toward the extremities.  In addition, people who are nervous when it comes to sex are often helped by the postures and breathing practices.

How Kundalini Yoga Works

Kundalini is a reservoir of energy, otherwise known as prana, which is stored at the base of the spine.  Because Kundalini has a spiraling power it is often described, or depicted as, a serpent.  This Kundalini energy is activated when yoga is practiced.  The energy moves up the spinal channel, also called the sushumna nadi, where it pierces the energy centers known as chakras.
