I am willing to try meditation for reasons that extend beyond the bedroom. But, I do know that my stress and noisy brain are the main reasons I lose my… ermmmm… mojo on a regular basis. I’m looking forward to trying.

I have only recently begun meditating for this reason. I do feel more calm and relaxed. Less consumed throughout the day about the shame I have felt from failing to keep an erection with a partner. I will see if it translates in partnered sex.
Meditation is a practice for me that I am still struggling with. I still can't seem to just stop and let go and not think, let alone not think negatively. But it is a work in progress and is something I know to be helpful. For anyone else who is struggling like me. I was told to not look at mediation as something to expect results out of. The outcome of mediation has nothing to do with meditation itself. Meditation just is. As I try to retrain my brain into thinking that this is something that will quite my thoughts if I allow myself to sit in it, I hope to be seeing to result. and I hope this helps anyone struggling like me. I linked a good YouTube video that describes this better.

Its hard for me to meditate
by helping me to be more accepting of whats happening in my mind and body
I’m still working on it. My anxiety runs pretty high but I hoping that I will have a break through.
I’ve meditated quite a bit in other, spiritual contexts, but to be honest still not learned to train my mind well. It’s still out of control – as evidenced by the inner critic etc. So I’m looking forward to seeing what it can do for my sex life.
i’ve done meditation on and off for a while now. its certainly helped me with my emotions but i’m not sure it’s helped in the bedroom to be honest. perhaps i havent been directing it that way…
Meditation has helped me to stay calm and not to overreact to my emotional states. It has also helped my sleep and I have very vived dreams when I meditate
Thinking about sex is frightening. I don’t want it to be.
Makes me calmer and take control of my emotions and thoughts
I haven’t tried it yet
Meditation has helped me focus on being in the moment and being closer with my feelings. It helps me understand the negative or harmful thoughts that I have, and am able to adjust my mindset to something more pleasurable.
It makes sense as the issue isn’t a physical one. I’m emotionally all over the place at the moment so hopefully this will help.
I never really got into meditation. But when I began to notice I had performance anxiety I briefly started meditating. However, I wasn’t noticing results after about a week so I gave it up. I know I did not give it a fair shake. I have seen the research and heard the stories. I know it works, and I’m glad I’m finally giving it a real try.
I need to try it more. My mind is in overdrive most of the time. That’s what is not helping
Starting the meditation has made me much more aware of my inner critic. I never realized how much I listen and succumb to its unhelpful advice. I am starting to work on noticing what my inner critic says and choosing when to believe it and when to let’s those thoughts go.
I haven’t really spent enough time meditating to comment. I tried for a period to get some regular meditation into my daily life but struggled. I’m excited by how I can use this now to link meditation to my negative thoughts patterns around erections and help me overcome
Meditation has helped me destress and become less anxious
Meditation helps keep my mind in a healthy state.
