Divine Sex: Can Yoga Give it to You?

Modern Yoga "throbs" with an open sexuality ranging from blatantly erotic and the bizarrely kinky, to deeply spiritual.




THE KAMA SUTRA- Myths and Reality
What does sex mean. The Kamasutra interprets sex as a special feature in a result of which the male and female principles are to become one not only on the skin-to-skin, but also on a spiritual level. Sex represents not only a physical process, how many people may think; this is a process that engages body, feelings, emotions, sense of those who are in love with each other. It is a sensual game, in the terms of which the woman turns out to be a goddess, a favourite and desired one, and the man, in his turn, gets satisfaction having reached an orgasm not just by himself, but by his beloved woman.
What should a sex be consisted of. The Kamasutra is a tool with the help of which sex may turn out to have a sacramental sense, including our feelings and perception aimed at getting the most enjoyment. Thus, every feature, e.g. scents, surrounding, lightening etc, are to be full of intimacy, hinting at forthcoming act of love. A couple should get rid of everything out of their room, leaving behind all the worries. Here, there is enough room only for their mind, soul and body: only he and she do matter now. The prelude, or a sexual game, has to be in the highlight of such a ritual. Remaining an integral part of the game, while prelude, one is able to express all the emotions and love to which the author of the book pays great attention. The sex itself, actually, is the high point of this game. Even in some cases, there is no need for having sex.
Sex techniques. All the necessary information referring to the theme is given in the chapter 5. As outlined previously, the positions in the Kama Sutra are called “the arts”. In total, the author observes 8 main arts, each of which has 8 variants. Stated another way, the book contains 65 sex positions. All the positions are described in the second chapter named “Of love coition”. Sometimes, only this chapter is considered to represent the whole book. It is used to publish the text incorrectly, without paying any attention to the authentic translation. Also, the book provides the information of three existing types of men and women, eight variants of hugging, eight hoots, ten kinds of love and so on: one should observe a numeric symbolism almost in everything. Main numbers are three, eight, and those divisible by them. Most of the classifications used by the author are still up-to-date and spark interest even nowadays.

How does  Yoga POTENTIALLY create better sexual experiences? Like it heightens POTENTIALLY all sensations in the body:

  • better arousal
  • better satisfaction
  • better emotional closeness
creates:
  • lower levels of adrenaline (fight or flight hormones)
  • stress smothers desire
    • reduced cortisol levels (cobra
  • improves micro-circulation of blood vessels
  • raises testosterone levels (especially sensitive to these levels are women)
    • vegetarianism reduces levels of testosterone dramatically in men and women
    • endurance sports like running lower testosterone levels
  • Breathwork creates arousal in the brain when practiced with challenging breath holds and manipulation
    • mild hyperventilation with RAPID breathing proved to lower oxygen to the brain and cause "primal" areas of the brain to light up. 
    • ecstatic experience of orgasm
    • diminishes HIGHER functions of the brain
  • Increased muscular strain as part of human sexual response (are classes structured this way mirroring sexual activity)?
Yogasm: Sex and The City
Does yoga improve the sex lives of couples?
