How Mindfulness Improves Your Sex Life
how you can be sexually mindful (and why you should)
The modern society is a magnet of stimulus.
Since the moment you wake up, your attention is caught up. During the day, you multitask, you try your best — sometimes overloading your mind — to complete the immensity of chores you have planned; either professional and personal.
Even when you are in a relaxation mode, you often distract your brain: you open one of the many apps on your smartphone, turn on the TV for the background noise or binge-watching a show on Netflix you don’t even pay much attention to.
Our minds are always busy and distracted. We are so used to a fast-paced mental rhythm that when our minds are supposed to be off — like during sex — , they aren’t. We seem to have lost that ability.
Be honest and answer this: during sex, how often you get caught in your mind?
The most common reasons for the mind to disconnect from the body during sex is related to sex - questions like if your partner is judging a part of your body; if they are enjoying your sexual performance; if you’re going to have an orgasm…
That mental distraction is not beneficial — you are not committed to what’s happening to you.
