How meditation can help treat sexual dysfunction
It is not for nothing that sexual dysfunctions are classified as mental disorders in the DSM. Meditating works wonders for your sexuality

Starting with a fact: over 95% of men who seek tantric therapy with some sexual dysfunction - erection problems, premature ejaculation, among others - do not present any type of physiological damage that may be causing the symptoms they feel. The whole origin of these symptoms is a high load of brain activity that confuses the person who cannot experience sexual intercourse with tranquility. Nervousness throws adrenaline into the bloodstream and it will definitely not help your sexual pleasure, but rather put you in an almost reptilian state of fighting or camouflaging yourself.
The basis of this problem lies in the very way in which society deals with sexuality; not much is said about the subject, everything said is always emasculating, punitive, terrifying, and teenagers become adults learning about sex with the holy internet trinity, pornography and masturbation. Sensory stimuli are gradually replaced by mental fantasies, which become responsible for almost all the excitement during sexual intercourse. Sex, orgasm, everything becomes psychogenic, fanciful, supported by a fantasy, by something that does not exist. And many spend their whole lives without even imagining that there is another way of dealing with their own bodies and with the bodies of others.
When we give too much responsibility to fantasies, we transfer the responsibility for dealing with sexual stimuli; instead of using our bodies to deal with stimuli, we use our minds to create them. And when she enters the game, she opens the door to a series of sexual dysfunctions that are born merely of insecurity, fear, or any other emotional issue.
That's where meditation comes in. Regular meditation practice works wonders in the development of self-analysis, proprioception and self-knowledge. It develops a less rational and more sensory way of perceiving itself that opens our eyes wide when we look inside. Meditation is the most personalized therapy that exists; your experience is never like anyone else's. It does not create concepts, stereotypes or personality tests; she turns you inside out. She exposes what's inside, in your center, in your essence.
The alertness that is awakened by meditation brings us a sense of reconnection with the body, with the environment, with the people around us. The perception of things changes. Gradually the person who meditates begins to create a new relationship with his own body; she dances more, sows differently, talks more with her hands, in short, she transforms the way she perceives and deals with her own body.
Exactly the trigger that many who suffer from premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, and so many other dysfunctions need to be able to minimize or eradicate psychosomatic symptoms. Look at yourself. Perceive yourself. Feel your body more, sharpen your senses, turn your head off a little when you don't need it. It is not up to her to deal with the impulses of her sexuality - it can be done in a healthier way by her body, without needing to rationalize anything.
You need to think less and feel more, especially when it comes to sexual dysfunction. Reconnecting with your own body is the most practical and healthy way to deal with large parts of these issues - it knows what we need to do to solve these problems; we just need to listen to him more.
