Premature Ejaculation by Yoga

Problems related with sex are most often connected with the mind rather than the body. Stress, fatigue and lack of confidence result in diminished sexual prowess.

However, impotence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and the like are only temporary if you can identify and remove their cause.

Yoga, a well established system of treatment is known to be helpful in dealing with a variety of physical and psychological problems.

Premature ejaculation

If you are suffering from premature ejaculation, the first step for you would be to stop panicking. Chances are that the it is a symptom of stress and anxiety. Instill confidence in yourself and read on. Always remember:

It is under your control!

The body releases chemicals and hormones in a state of anxiety. When you perform sexual intercourse in this state, the hormones released in the blood play against you to return your body in a state of chemical equilibrium. The result - early ejaculation. You must master the techniques that allow you to control your anxiety.

Yoga masters stress the importance of prana or life energy. It is by controlling your breathing that you control the flow of energy inside your body. Mastering certain breathing exercises or pranayam will enable you to get rid of anxiety, control your bodily functions and inhibit the production of chemicals that affect your sexual stamina.

The other very effective technique in combating symptoms like premature ejaculation are yogic asanas. They increase blood circulation thereby decreasing tension in the body and improve sexual vigor.

Two have been mentioned below:

Sarvanga Asana or the shoulder stand

1. Lie in a supine position with your palms on the floor close to the body and toes touching.
2. Inhale and simultaneously lift both your legs without bending the knees.
3. Now, putting pressure on both your palms, lift your body as much as possible. Try to keep it straight.
4. Keep at it for a few seconds and then return to the original position by first bending your knees and then slowly lowering your body back to the floor.

The benefit of this posture is that it reverses the blood flow influencing its flow into the tissues, cells and organs.

Supine head knee posture

1. Sit upright with your legs straight in front.
2. Fold your right leg at the knee and place the heel firmly placed under left thigh.
3. Take a deep breath and bend down over your left leg as you slowly exhale. Grab the toes with your fingers and bring your head as close to the knee as possible.
4. Stay in the pose for a while and then restore your body back to the original position.
5. Do not bend your knee at any time.

This pose is very effective in that it enhances the working of the reproductive organs.

Erectile dysfunction

This particular symptom of impotence can happen either gradually or suddenly. Like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction is also largely caused due to psychological factors which can be controlled through yoga.

You can try Viagra anytime you want but if you want a holistic method of treatment that uplifts your mind, body and soul and enables you to attain your true potential, yoga is the best bet.

Khandasana

1. Sit with your legs stretched out in the front. Now, bend the legs at the knees sideways and bring the heels close towards the perineum.
2. Now, using your hands, place the soles of your feet against your navel. For the first few tries, your feet will inevitably slip. Don’t worry, just keep trying.
3. Release your hands and keep the palms pressed against each other as shown in the picture.
4. Your back should be erect the whole time. Continue with the pose for 30 seconds.
5. Then slowly lower your legs back on the floor.

This exercise activates the muscles in the navel area and stimulates your sexual energy.

Remember, if you are doing these poses for the first time it is very likely that you won’t get them right or find them difficult. But never give up. With practice, comes precision. With precision, your goal.
