Controlling Sexual Desire with Yoga

[QUOTE=Lencho…;30679]I can understand the not wanting to get married part but no sex I don’t understand. :confused:

I saw 2Girls1Cup on the internet somewhere once and it cured me of sex for quite a while. You should look into that, I’m sure it would help.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for mentioning the video and I googling it and actually watching it!!! Its in my head now, and I do not know what to do! lol

Urdva Retus ? turn your sex drive into a blissful experience? idk

[QUOTE=futureking;28357]
I heard that some aasana’s can help to remain bachelor.They are not 100% working solution but can help.
If it is true please let me know about those things.[/QUOTE]

I’ve heard interesting stories of sages in India chopping off their organs in order to curb sexual desires. Obviously, that did not help… as sexual desire, or any desire for that matter, arises in the mind & not the body. All asanas point towards mind control to curb any kind of desire/s. In a way, ultimately, extent of mind control dependa on level nf will power and asanas might not always prove effective, as our minds have a very bad habit of forsaking us at the wrong time!

Hi futureking I found that we have very same thoughts and vision toward nation.
I am also want to join the politics to serve for nation and have firm belief that only unmarried person can do so and for the same reason I am interested in the yoga to avoid sexual desires.
If you don’t have any problem I would like to contact you via email and mobile to share our thoughts, vision and ways. Thanks !

नाड़ी शोधन प्राणायाम with कुंभक can help in controlling the lust/desires.

भस्त्रिका, बाह्य, कपालभाति increase downward movement of the वीर्य, but not if you’ve already gained self control.

So, do नाड़ी शोधन (not अनुलोम विलोम, difference being holding the breath as long as you can without gasping for it, also called कुंभक) for a year or until self control arises. You will know when it has arisen because you won’t suffer from स्वप्नदोष and an internal helpful force will wake you up at the right time, preventing it from happening: don’t be lethargic when you wake up and thus prevent it, instead do some more of this प्राणायाम after toilet and cleaning teeth, even in the dead of night. You will, from time to time, need to resist the urge; after several months this need to resist will weaken and you’ll gradually remain in the celibate state more naturally. Stay away from company which can affect this pursuit. Do not be disheartened when you lose semen in sleep initially. It is a gradual process. Yoga takes time, it runs in repeating cycles, every cycle will make you one step stronger.

Now the problem. The pranayama above (नाड़ी शोधन with कुंभक) will make you very calm, yoga asks you shun public platforms and is very ‘introvert’ practice, politics requires constant interactions and is an ‘extrovert’ practice. Unless you are enlightened before you join politics, there is serious risk of a downfall because power comes and corruption follows. If you get enlightened before entering politics, you perhaps would not want to enter it. As someone said above, focus on improving self, fighting corruption can make you lose progress made in yoga because unless you are enlightened already, perfect calmness of mind may get disturbed but calmness is needed to make progress.

Good luck though, noble goal, is achievable.

Namastê futureking,

i’m trying to celibacy from a long time because when I was younger I experienced nirvana.
I did long periods of celibacy starting from 3 months, to 8 months, to 10 month to a full year and realized with time that the energy will go the right way. I only failed to continue because of sexual tensions and teasing but each time I failed I would start over again.

So, porn is not good, you have to ignore sexual tensions and be natural so it will vanish. Pranayama breathings will disperse sexual tensions. You will have to get used to female teasing so you will not fell aroused nor fall into desire. If any sexual contact with yourself or another you must not dissipate sexuality(Orgasm is not good for your body). Yoga and meditation will clean your mind and body from toughs and desires when you can’t.

Chastity will raise the kundalíni and align your chakras, it will also create Ojas on our energetic field.

Some Naga Sadhus use bricks to pull their penis down breaking their nerves so that the energies can flow upwards. Their penis will not rise.

You can do it, it is important that you meditate daily and do some yoga once in a wile.

Say this to your self relaxed when feelings might rise ‘‘Sex is good but my heart doesn’t feel like it’’.

I wish you good luck,
Sivasattva

Love is not sexual intercourse. Love is not vital attraction and interchange. Love is not the heart’s hunger for affection. Love is a mighty vibration coming straight from the One. And only the very pure and very strong are capable of receiving and manifesting it. Cheers!

Of course you can control the desire of sex with meditative actions

Yoga tattva upanishad gives a great teaching on celibacy. You must read for a better understanding about celibacy.

We are human beings but in animal kingdom the are lion, elephant, zebra so on. They are not elephant beings or zebra beings. Humans are by nature Social Animals. Hunger, pain,sexuality those all are basic quality of living objects because we all experience things by five senses. There is five layers of experience through yoga . One is the outer surface (Annamaya Kosha) maid by food. second is Pranamaya Kosha( Energy layer). Third is Manomaya Kosha (Mental/emotional layer). Forth is Vijnanamaya Kosha (Intuitive/wisdom layer), Fifth is Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss layer). Dose't meter you are sanyasies or family man or not. By yoga (dhyana/ meditation) you can realize the five layers. when you realize all are same for you. let me tel you a story

" A man walking at night on a dark path is bitten by a snake on the leg. The snake is lying near him, coiled. Lying on the floor, he feels the pain and he can also feel the poison travelling in his blood stream. He cries for help knowing his end is nearing. A passerby, hearing his cries, comes with a light pointing at the snake. The snake turns out to be nothing but a rope.

      The parable concerns a man, who in the darkness mistakes a rope for a snake.

      This analogy illustrates the conception of superimposition. Due to his fear of snakes, this man superimposed a snake upon the rope. The sight of the rope was enough to create the imaginary presence of the snake and the pain of the venom.

      During the incident, was the snake real or unreal ? The answer is that, subjectively, the snake was very real to the man. However, objectively, the presence of the snake was all illusory and created by his mind.

      The snake existed only at the time of the incident -- the present, while the rope existed in the past ( before the incident ), the present, as well as the future ( after the incident )."

Everything which is important for you only because of ignorance. All are maya. just like a Dream........

This does not matter that you should marry or not, in order to fight against injustice, corruption and doing something for country. You do not need to control you sex desire and you can have its pleasure without marriage too. But i would like to tell you that there are some Yoga asanas which can help us to control our sex desires and that is called brastika (a breathing technique). It won't help you to eliminate the desire forever but whenever you feel sexual desire you can control it and daily practice of it is more beneficial. You can also check my blog on Yoga here http://bit.ly/yoga-training

Yo need To attract positive energy and relieve outer misery causing conditions:

PM-D you the mantra.

I would like to know this as well! :slight_smile: Grandchamp Roofing

Learn Vajroli Mudra. It will help you to transfrom energy quickly.

This is biggest misconception and misunderstanding about sex and sanyasi.
This happens when literature (shashtra) is wrongly understood.

Your dilemma shows that sex is your bigger purpose otherwise why there is a need to run from it? How come a person will be bothered by mundane things if other big purpose is already there as you said.

There is mo need to run from sex, use awareness to transcend it.

It's normal for men to have hard erections every morning in bed but you don't need to respond to it.

Bonjour

Le yoga est une discipline ancestrale qui pourrait se définir ainsi : « un effort vers la tranquillité ».
La pratique du yoga associe des exercices physiques, de concentration, de respiration et de méditation,
qui permettent à l’ensemble du corps de rentrer en communion.

Hi futureking,
it an interesting subject you are posting. I feel adressed to try to answer this as good i can as im also feeling this sexual desire is hindering me from being in harmony with the universe. There are so many layers branches of understanding yoga and on top it all cannot be pronuonced i words. Your way of outrun sexual desire is absolutely paved by your own actions. Because Yoga is everything Yoga is a state as well as a tool to perform life the way it goes. Your counciousness will go the direction it chooses, depending more or less of outer influence. But first step is to dedicate to your destiny, witch is not a matter. That means your future has to be clear for you. This is the prerequesite. I want to move on.
To get behind a problem, we have to understand it.
Marriage is not the same as sex. At least here in Germany.
So I will stay with the psychological desire problem, as marriage is a social subject. There is a connection but thats how the world is woven.
Actually i dont know at that piont what exactly is your bigger problem Sex or Marriage?
Well for the deeper Problem:
Sexual Desire i rooted in the evolution of life on planet earth.
Sex was a tool to seperate Animallike Cellcomunities to specialize on probably fighting and caring. (Or whatever the first maskulin and feminin caracters were)
Its difficult to go back before that happend...but everything is possible.
So meens union (as well as Yoga) but on a pretty basic physical level.
On way to stop to transcend Sex, so you follow Tantra. And you finally just enjoy having contact to the feminine. Even without orgasm or maybe this kind of internal orgasm without ejaculation. But that needs a whole lot of practice. And you definitely need some naked women and much relaxed time...both is rare these times :wink:
So the way to stop the desire is to fullfil it. As old Karma taught us.
As long as you dont want sexual desire and you are in contact with beautyful women or in general people to contact or desire for sex wont end. Maybe it will decrease if one stops masturbating for some months and meet fewer people but your body will need physical love. May it be sex or kiss or hug or shake hands or share a room. Its all physical awareness equals love.
What monks do is turning inward totaly by being alone most of the time. So sexual desire goes away automatically. Being in ceolibacy in the middle of society is barely possible. The mind wont go with the wordy or thinky decision and wont be in harmony with the body, which is dissolving or dying with out physical love.
If you want to be a monk within society you probably need to disconnect mind from body and connect it to society. Power to still must come from inside, from the "holy source". So you'll be an man like Gandhi who has found way to change society by yogic means (focus on ahimsa). But i think he had a wife too...
To summarize the summary: Facing social Problems in a yogic way is difficult. You will have to work with a lot of massive energy instead of subtle one. Maybe stick to the bible. Or follow Gandhi. But finding a way like his will take some lifes.
But if you want you will find.
I hope you can work with that.
