Meditation has helped reduce my anxiety all around. Letting my mind go blank while focusing on breathing techniques has played a big part in my overall well-being, not to mention helping with my sexual health.
Meditation has helped me a lot, so I have high hopes that it will help with my erection issues too.
a lot of the m I do feel as though I’m stuck in my head. I’m religious so we pray 5 times a day, both in solitude and congregation and this does help quite a lot.
It’s something new. I’ve never done it before this. I live a pretty stressful life due to my job. Distractions lead to issues in bed and issues in bed lead to arguments and arguments lead to higher cortisol levels. Cortisol leads to ED. Gotta figure it out. Relaxing. Focusing on other things.
I haven’t tried it much but looks good
I think this approach is a good lesson that I have already learned in other contexts. That is that by paying attention, we have a tremendous ability to change the way we experience life. To rearrange our mental furniture. But the paradox is that first we have to be aware and accept what is, what we perceive and what we feel about that. To gain more control we have to give up control. And then to replace more harmful thoughts with better awareness and understanding.
I’ve only done a little of it, but it has helped me to be in the moment and relax.
When I’ve done it regularly it has certainly helped me to be more present and relaxed but translating that into reduced performance anxiety has still been challenging…
I can’t deal with my anxiety better by being relaxed and letting go of the outcome
Yes, meditation has helped me with performance anxiety Andy overall well-being
The more relaxed and present I am the more I desire sex.
I am optimistic that the right meditation exercises will be beneficial. Like most of us here, I am fully aware of how much “being in my head” controls how the rest of my body acts.
I’ve practiced and done meditation at least a couple times per week for a while now but never thought to apply this line of thinking to sex life. Definitely excited to start this practice
I’ve been meditating for years, but find it hardest to take what I’ve learned/practiced into the bedroom. I do find myself remember to breath in those situations which is helpful.
I have not continuously practiced it, so I am not sure yet.
My mind drifts a lot during sex
I don’t know if I’ve used it in the bedroom. But certainly I’ve taken a moment call myself down and was able to get back in
I haven’t tried meditation yet
I have used meditation to help in other areas of my life, I’m my own emotional journey and I’ve found that it was helpful in those areas. I have not tried it much for sex yet, but I feel positive about it.
It helps quiet my inner critic, and reduces my anxiety by finding my center and focusing on it.
