Get Out of Your Head (And into Bed)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get<\/em> real<\/em>, we’d love our sex lives to mirror the confidence of our favourite adult performers – But truth be told<\/em>, that’s just not realistic. And even they’re<\/em> putting on a show…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is that most of us have experienced some extent of sex-related anxiety at points in our lives, and that has the tendency to put a serious dampener on our ability to get off<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting down to it when you’re not able to get into the right frame of mind can sometimes feel performative, <\/em>and sometimes rushed<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as one of the most natural forms of pleasure, stress relief and human connection, we owe it to ourselves to get our bedroom manoeuvres right<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It’s Your Biology, Baby<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You’re certainly not alone, but the most common distractions to good sex are insecurities about our sexual fantasies; intrusive thoughts about bodily hang-ups, concerns about sex drive, worries about level sexual experience, or even doubts about our ability to negotiate a functioning sexual relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably, this mental strain during sex sets off a stress reaction in the body. And so in direct opposition to your good time, the fight-or-flight<\/em> reflex is triggered – Taking you into <\/em>your head and out of<\/em> your bod’… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biologists say that this bodily stress response limits the blood flow to our guts and genitals – Eek<\/em>! And as a result, this reduced circulation to your lovin’ organs dramatically decreases sexual arousal; impairing erectile and self-lubricating function – A.K.A. Killing the entire vibe<\/em>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we assure you – Sex needn’t be a stress-fest<\/em>… When proactively managed, we\u2019re much more likely to overcome this unwelcome stress response and experience a deeper, more gratifying sexual connection. Phew<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does the heightened mind-body <\/strong><\/em>effect of sexual mindfulness chill you TF out<\/em>. On a biological level, in fact, the deep relaxation produced by meditation opens the arteries that supply blood to your sexy parts; supercharging your body for incredible sexual engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind-Body Magnificence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
