Problems with sexual performance often have complex roots that can be difficult to identify and treat. One of the most common causes of early ejaculation, for example, is a combination of stress and anxiety. While both stress and anxiety are a part of every person’s life, finding ways to manage an overload of them can be frustratingly difficult. Yoga is a popular and effective method of dealing with it and, now, many people think it may be the key to treating premature ejaculation as well.
Yoga, Stress and Sexual Well Being
Stress and anxiety are closely linked and often one brings about the other making it difficult to treat when it begins to affect a person’s health. Stress reduction through exercise is one of the most commonly prescribed solutions but even that can be difficult to follow through with when people aren’t involved in a regular exercise program.
Yoga has been around for centuries and is an important part of some religions as well as being a tried and tested way to improve a person’s physical health. People who practice yoga have reported lowered blood pressure, a better sense of well-being and more mental clarity. Today, people turn to yoga to treat everything from hypertension to depression and with great results.
For men dealing with early ejaculation, yoga offers a way to reduce stress and improve their overall health in one fell swoop. Best of all, it can even help to improve flexibility and stamina in men who don’t have a problem with premature ejaculation but who want to last longer or simply prevent the problem from happening.
The Positions You Need to Know
There are so many yoga positions it can be hard to know where to begin. A simple beginners Yoga DVD or class can help get you started but the following positions are also worth trying on your own just to give you a taste of what this practice can offer.
The Raised Legs Pose – This pose is primarily used to strengthen the intestines, helping digestion and a person’s metabolism. It is also believed it can help a man control his orgasm which makes it popular with male enhancement fans everywhere. Lay flat on your back and raise your legs together, first to a 45 degree angle then up to 90 degrees. Hold this position for a few breaths then lower your legs slowly.
The Seated Forward Bend – This pose, called Paschimotasana, is a favorite for men struggling with early ejaculation. Sit with your legs stretched out right in front of you and lower yourself until your head touches your knees (or as close as you can get). Hold this position as you breathe out then raise yourself back to a sitting position as you breathe in.
The Cobra – This pose is also known as the Bhujangasana. Lie on the floor face down. Put your hands palm down on the floor at your shoulder then push up until your back is arched. Carry on with the forward momentum and allow your head to tilt until you are looking up. Hold again for a breath, then release.
These poses are only a few of the options that can be used in order to treat early ejaculation and other performance issues. The poses used in Yoga, along with its breathing techniques, can easily be applied to helping men regain control of their orgasms and learn to avoid ejaculating too quickly. As a bonus, yoga can also help to improve a man’s overall health making it a win-win!
