If you suffer erectile dysfunction (ED), you’re probably looking for a manly cure for it. But there is one method that is maybe not considered so manly that has been found extremely effective for ED.
And isn’t it worth it to be a little unmanly to become super manly in the bedroom?
Indeed, this unmanly practice is used by millions of men all over the word. And it delivers a long array of results.
And that’s more manly than popping pills, if you ask me!
Over 90% of yoga practitioners are women. And men often consider it too soft of a sport. But yoga practitioners have long claimed that yoga can greatly improve sexual functioning for men and women.
When researchers put this claim to the test in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2010, they found that this was indeed the case. After following a 12 week yoga program, most of their 65 male subjects between the ages of 24 and 60 years showed a marked improvement in many domains of sexual functioning, including desire, intercourse satisfaction, performance, confidence, partner synchronization, erection, ejaculatory control, and orgasm.
This should, perhaps, not be surprising. Some of the main causes of ED are general stress and performance anxiety, and yoga is understood to be an effective way to relieve anxiety.
A paper published in the journal Andrologia in 2014 concluded that ED drugs were more effective when combined with stress management than on their own. In the study, some men with ED received only tadalafil, while others received tadalafil and an eight week stress management program. The latter group showed a much greater improvement than the former group. The stress management program included, among other things, some yoga.
There are other reasons why yoga might be effective. An article in a 2009 edition of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy shows that some cases of ED are caused by a lack of the neurotransmitter serotonin. These cases are normally the men who struggle with depression. Like other exercise, yoga can boost the serotonin level in your body, which makes it a promising treatment for both the depression and the ED.
According to a literature review by Marcy McCall, a University of Oxford academic, yoga also improves blood flow throughout the body, aids with muscle relaxation, lowers the stress hormone cortisol, and aids with various other mechanisms that are involved in successful sexual function.
The best yoga postures to try are those that focus on the groin area for increased blood flow and muscle relaxation.
Start with some stretches that the yoga community calls basic. For example, lie on your back with your legs slightly apart. Now raise your legs and bend your knees until they touch the sides of your body. Take the outer side of your feet in your hands and, using your upper body strength, pull your knees down to the ground. The soles of your feet should point to the ceiling.
Once you have mastered this stretch, you can move on to the kandasana. To perform it, sit with your legs stretched out in front of you. Stretch your legs out sideways and bend your knees. Put the soles of your feet together. Now, using your hands, pull your heels as close as possible to your groin. They should ideally touch your groin, but don’t worry if you are not flexible enough yet. Just go on practicing. It is crucial that you keep your back straight throughout this exercise to avoid injury.
