How Can Yoga Improve Your Sex Life?

Now, while that might be annoying to those who haven’t discovered the wonders of yoga yet, it certainly explains a lot. People who have practiced yoga for years have a certain glow to them. You might have noticed it — they seem happier, more relaxed, and radiant. Is that all thanks to a few yoga classes every week, or are they secretly members of some secret club that gives them eternal youth?

The latter seems unlikely. Although their good looks might have come from Mother Nature, their glow is probably the result of regular yoga practice.

How to Recharge Your Sexual Energy

If you’ve noticed that remembering the last time you had sex (or the will for it) is only a bit easier than remembering your earliest childhood memories, you might need a sexual energy recharge.

Sometimes, we feel frisky. We’re so up to the task, so to speak, that we could do the dirty deed all day, every day (in theory). However, at other times, days go by without us even sparing a thought to sex. That’s perfectly normal. Gone are our teenage years when sex was the essential thing in our lives (that we weren’t getting).

Male and Female Sex Hormones and Their Effects

The primary sex hormones in men and women are estrogen and testosterone. While testosterone is vital for the male sex drive, women can also produce it. When it comes to sex hormone production, estrogen is built up in the ovaries and the male testicles create testosterone. The glands that produce them are called the gonads and the adrenal glands. What’s more, there are several other sex hormones like oxytocin, vasopressin, and progesterone.

On the surface, sex hormones play a key part in reproduction, sexual development, as well as libido in males …

How rope play allowed me to release my shame about sex
I didn’t know what to expect when I walked up to the house in Agoura Hills, California, where I would be staying for the weekend. Well, I knew that I would be getting suspended with ropes, in a practice known as shibari or erotic rope bondage. I knew I’d be working through my shame around sex. But still, the weekend felt like uncharted territory, and I was the explorer discovering it.

When I found out Alexandra Roxo, transformational mentor and filmmaker, and Blue, a shibari teacher, performer, and founder of Vox Body Studio, were leading a retreat around shibari and sexual healing, I knew I had to be there. Not only had I been itching to try shibari and explore that kink, but, like almost every other person on the planet raised in a patriarchal society, I also …

The perfume sits rather un-subtly on my nightstand. In thick black capital letters, its label reads, “Sexual Healing.” Nearly everyone who sees the fragrance—friends, dates, even the ConEd employee dispatched to set up my internet—whips out their phone to take a photo of the cheeky sentiment.

True, I have no idea what the late Marvin Gaye smelled like in person, as I was born 11 years after his untimely death. However, I believe the scent manages to encapsulate the aura of one of the greatest, horniest songs in history—in only 50 milliliters.

If you ask Ali Kashani, founder and creator of Art Meets Art, the label that released this fragrance by Christophe Raynaud, Sexual Healing smells like “a gourmand and spicy honey accord that melts with tobacco absolute and vanilla.”

If you ask me, it smells like the idealized suburban basement where America’s youth collectively took their first cigarette puff. …
