For guys who have trouble lasting in bed, a multi-faceted strategy is often needed to overcome the problem. Not only medication, but exercise and various other strategies can help address premature ejaculation issues. Now comes word that the ancient practice and modern phenomenon of yoga may lead to more stamina in the sack.
According to one study published in the Journal of Sexual Health:
“A group of men, all of whom admitted to regularly having premature ejaculations during intercourse, found that practicing an hour of yoga each day for 12 weeks helped them triple the time they normally lasted in bed.”
For women, The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently reported that sexually unsatisfied women who practiced yoga saw improvements in their sex life, sexual arousal and desire as well as heightened climax. (read complete post)
Another more recent and comprehensive study from the International Journal of Urology states, “Yoga has been proposed as a potential treatment for PE. It has shown efficacy in significantly prolonging the IELT in prospective studies. However, some trials have shown no improvement of PE with yoga in comparison with a placebo.The difference in outcomes could be attributed to longer length of treatment in the statistically significant trials.”*
These findings are still inconclusive and more research on the topic is needed, including “the specific variables of the type of yoga being carried out.”
Yoga Poses that Help Men Last Longer
Multiple poses have been found to improve blood flow for better sexual function and strengthen muscles in the body’s pelvic region. It can also strengthen your libido, which can make you healthy.
Yoga for sex can be very helpful for you and your partner. It will improve the way you do some sex positions and can give you bodily awareness. Try doing Tantra yoga which combines a variety of practices, including pranayama, mudras, visualization, mantra meditation, and initiation to study the inner world through the human body.
Check out these yoga poses for sexual health:
1. Kumbhakasana (Plank Pose)
Lie flat on the ground, pressing the stomach firmly into the ground. With the palms facing down and the fingers close to one another, place both hands on either side of the face close to the forehead and ears. Keep the tips of both feet on the ground as you raise them together. Inhale deeply and elevate the upper body—the torso, hips, and thighs—to a comfortable height off the ground using the momentum of both hands. For a plank exercise, keep the feet parallel to the floor. Hold this position for 30 to 60 seconds, then slowly lower yourself back to the ground while exhaling.
2. Dhanurasana
Often known as the “Bow Pose,” involves lying flat on the ground with the stomach facing down. With the arms by the side of the body, spread the legs apart a few inches. As you exhale, bend your knees upward toward your body, holding it firmly with both hands. Lift the body and chest off the ground while taking a slow, deep breath. Look straight ahead with both eyes while dragging both legs toward the lifted torso. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds. After that, exhale slowly and return to a flat position on the floor.
3. Uttanapadasana (Raised Leg Pose)
Lay flat on the ground on your back to start. Keep your feet together, and your hands close to your body at your sides. Take a big breath in and simultaneously lift both legs off the ground. Lift it off the ground at a 30-degree angle first, then bring it down to the surface. Next, raise the height by 60 degrees, then lower it once more, and lastly, raise it by 90 degrees. Hold this position for 20 seconds, then exhale and slowly relax your body to return to lying flat on your back.
4. Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend)
Take a seat on a smooth, level area on the floor. With the feet pointing straight up, extend both legs fully forward. Take a big breath in and raise both arms above your head. Exhale, then bend forward to try to touch your knees while keeping your spine in a relaxed position. The thumb and index finger of both hands should be used to grasp the big toes. After remaining in this position for ten seconds, slowly release your hands, lift your torso, and return to your original seated position.
5. The eagle position or garudasana
Relieves problems of the testis and prostate gland and prevents premature ejaculation. This pose is excellent for easing the signs and symptoms of urinary tract illnesses and other reproductive issues.
