1. Increases desire and helps achieve orgasm
It works regardless of gender. A study conducted among women found that after 12 weeks of regular yoga practice, sexual function indicators improved. This includes desire and arousal, lubrication, and orgasm. Interestingly, the improvements were more pronounced in women over 45.
A similar study was conducted among men. Its results also showed positive changes. Subjects rated their desire, satisfaction with intercourse, erectile function, ejaculatory control, and synchronization with their partner.
2. Strengthens the pelvic muscles
Many asanas engage the pelvic region, improving circulation and strengthening the muscles (women can also strengthen them with special exercises). This directly impacts the quality of sex and the ability to achieve orgasm.
3. Helps prevent premature ejaculation
Of course, yoga is more popular among women. However, men also embrace this Eastern practice, and they appreciate its positive impact on their sexual health.
A study was conducted among two groups of men suffering from premature ejaculation. One group took a medication, while the other practiced yoga. The results showed that both groups noticed significant improvements.
The researchers concluded that yoga is a completely safe and effective way to combat this disease.
4. Teaches you to control your breathing
Yoga places a great deal of emphasis on pranayama—breathing control. Research confirms this is well-founded. Breathing techniques developed in yoga classes help relieve anxiety and stress.
Of course, you’re unlikely to start practicing long inhalations and sharp exhalations during sex, but half an hour of yoga after work will help you forget about a hard day and make room for love and passion.
5. Improves mood
Yoga practitioners feel happier and more relaxed, and report a positive outlook after practice. And a positive outlook is an important component of good sex.
6. Develops flexibility
It’s all very simple: most asanas promote flexibility and muscle tone. And a flexible and toned body is a significant advantage in sex.
Additionally, you can use asanas during the process itself to add variety to your sex life.
The quality of sex depends on many factors, and it’s a matter of mutual responsibility. Obviously, yoga practice alone is unlikely to save a dire situation. But if you combine yoga with other problem-solving techniques, you have a significant chance of success.
