Yoga for Erectile Dysfunction

Hi

Let me introduce myself. I am from India. I an 32 , male. I do some asanas
. Because of over mastrubation I have difficulty having erections. I am still single. The sensitivity of penis has almost become zero. So I have to mastrubate to make my penis erect. It doesnt become erect on its own.
I think this is serious problem and I am also thinking of going to
ayurvedic physician. I dont like allopathy much. So I want to know if there
are supplementary exercises in yog therapy. I heard about mulbandh and uddiyan bandh. Can anybody here suggest any yog therapy for this ?
I mastrubate twice a day and I think this is high frequency. But I cant control myself. I have to rectify these problems otherwise I cant get marry :D. In ayurveda also there is something called as Vajikarana therapy which I will look into.

Thanks

I feel for you, I know what are you talking about from personal experience. I tell you this so you don’t think I am just the regular smartass who has an opinion.

There is no other way than educate your sensuality. Masturbation … you have your history I guess, how did you start, how did you got hooked up into this behaviour.
The so called sexual revolution taught us that everything religions and traditions say about sexuality is dogma, bullcrap, and everything goes, among many, they concluded that masturbation having detrimental effects on our health is a superstition.

Well, you masturbate, and you did not die or become ill, so it is harmless, apparently. But the very questions you put show that it is a serious obstacle to your social life, to your relationships.

It is a bad habit, you must face it. It prevents you from getting seriously involved into relationships. How ? The energy you release by masturbation is not supposed to be spent that way. In fact, it supposed to be preserved until the possibility of “spending it normally” arises. This energy is meant to carry you, as it is not just physical energy but emotional, psychic energy too. It is libido as western psychology says, but I like the term shakti better. It is not nervous impulses, but the very essence of life, vital “energy”. This descends to the physical level, but it does not have it’s abode there. When one masturbates, forces this energy to go to the physical level, and the devotional, loving aspects are missing. Fantasies cannot replace the real presence of another person where the physicality is embedded into the emotional aspects of communion and self surrender.

Masturbation creates dependency just like drugs. Chemicals are secreted in the brain during sexual release, and orgasm. This make the brain dependent on them, used to them, needing them. In this case sexuality ceases to be a spiritual act, and becomes feeding an addiction.
The downside is that if you enter a relationship, your habits and what you seek from lovemaking will be the same, your nerves, brain are used to the stimuli “learnt” by masturbation. Chances are that you will find making love to an actual woman less enjoyable than masturbation, especially that “good sex” has to be learned. (The taste of a healthy food is unsatisfying for someone used to a spicy, heavy meal. It takes time to get used to it, by refraining from consuming the latter, than when you are hungry enough, you will start to enjoy the less exciting ones too.)
And there you go again … you will make love to her less and less, and you will masturbate in secret. In time, this will hurt your relationship, to the level that you either seek another, or divorce and remain alone. Masturbation strenghtens the tendencies of seclusion and withdrawal from society, and will make your emotional life barren.

Do you use any stimulating material - porn, literature, pictures ?
Stop them. Avoid opportunities to be alone with anything what might trigger the need to masturbate. If it happens, leave, and go out.
Try to fill the hunger in your brain with other activities, like sports, listening to good music. You must unlearn this conditioning. Some say you will never be able … but they are wrong. It is possible. Stop eating meat. Do not drink alcoholic drinks. Avoid situations what make your general vitality drop, as these are the times when all the bad old habits kick in. If you canot avoid, try to rest, but in company of others.

You must do this to avoid being emotionally unfullfilled, and to avoid burdening your karma by hurting others.
The physical yoga practice will help, but remember this is an addiction: and it is your mind and habits you must change. Without this, you can do uddhiyana bandha all day long, it will not work, but perhaps make you sick. Do the asana and bandha practice if you can, but do not rely on it solely. Remember, yama and niyama comes first. Satya comes first. And to be true to Satya, we must be honest with ourselves. You must admit that you are on a wrong track. Masturbation in secret is again breaking of Satya.

Do not dispair, this is a good opportunity to develop willpower and control over your life.

Hello everyone.
Does anyone buy medicines for VIAGRA (Generic Viagra) - Your New Sexual Life - there are very cheap Viagra and I wonder on the purchase.

No doubt, that ayurvedic prescription and some exercises will surely help you but you can also consult a doctor for this. This is a very common problem and can be easily cured by medicines like Viagra and Levitra. I also suffered from this type of ED related issues and I took levitra[FONT=&quot] and it worked well for me. As you don’t like allopathy much, so don’t go for these medicines without doctor’s consent.

I was having lunch with some male martial artists recently and the subject turned to sexual alchemy, as it does. Ho hum. Anyway, one man was saying that he was attempting to reduce his “emissions” to one a month and that his girlfriend was not thrilled about this. I was the only woman there and I have a background in sexual health and depth psychology and while I find the whole subject of sexual energy very interesting I couldn’t help but feel that sometimes mens’ anxieties over depleting energy by excessive “emissions” are, at least to some extent, neurotic and rooted in primitive anxieties relating to castration and the loss of masculine power. I do believe that it’s possible for people to become addicted to masturbation inasmuch as people can use it to manage anxiety and also that people can feel safer indulging in DIY activity than taking the risk of actual intimacy with another person. However given the soaring rates of STI and the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis I don’t think that masturbation is always a sad, lonely choice, sometimes it is simply a choice to be loving to one’s self rather than risk disease and hurt by getting involved sexually with someone. Of course it is for each individual to know what it right for himself or herself and what is right will vary from person to person, depending on their situation. I also would like to add that I’ve met plenty of patients who masturbate twice a day or more or who have sex twice a day or more and who have no errectile problems whatsoever. That’s not to say it’s not a problem for you. If you think it’s a problem then it is a problem. I suppose I’m saying that I don’t know how much the problem is physiological and how much psychological.

Issac,
It is good that you are seeking advice both from an ayurvedic physician and here on Yoga Forums. I think Hubert has offered some excellent advice.

I would make only one more suggestion and that is (if you do not already) to adopt a vegetarian diet while you stop masturbating and keep practicing yoga. This will help you get back in touch with your body and spirit - in a more pure state and you’ll find that it this real bliss beats any fantasy or dream.

I wish you much strength and the best of fortunes as you overcome this problem. A happy and fulfilling life in harmony with yourself and others awaits.

Namaste,

Kiran

I have studied and practiced some but I am not enlightened yet so my word is not gospel. what I say will be handed down from books and teachers

Sexual energy is Man’s greatest energy, it is the power of creation
this is why men fall asleep after orgasm
in todays normal sex, it is a lustin sex and tends to be short term because the energy stays in the sex organ area
by learning tantra/tao, etc… techniques you can move the energy in the body up the spine, this changes the sexual energy. Personally I have felt the energy hit inside my head, kind of like ringing a bell. What has it done to me once there, I am not sure :slight_smile:

Do you have to stop porn first? that is your call but you can learn the techniques and apply them with/without porn. Over time your body chemistry will change and your sexual energy will be in your body, not just in the sex organs. Later on you will be able to channel your energy

have you ever had a time in your life where the only enjoyable thing was sex, well supposedly by transforming the energy, not repressing it, you can feel your whole life is a lot like having sex. also, sex becomes longer and taken to heights never achieved before, I can tell you my most profound experience with a partner lasted two hours, everything was very slow in the begininng, and the experience was beyond description. Yogani talks about taking it slow and how staying power increase.

Why do catholic priests have their issues, because they dont know how to channel the energy this is speculation on my part, once again not gospel :wink:
if you feel guilty of who you are you may guilt your way into doing it even more, drop the guilt, you are who you are, accept and go from there. no need to beat yourself up about it;) did you catch the pun? if it offends you I will delete :slight_smile:

I would recomend two books Multiorgasmic male Amazon.com: The Multi-Orgasmic Man: Sexual Secrets Every Man Should Know: Mantak Chia, Douglas Abrams: Books and tantra by yogani, Amazon.com: Tantra - Discovering the Power of Pre-Orgasmic Sex: Yogani: Books

Most of my info is regurgitated with some, but limited experience, only one way to find out for yourself

a massive storm was coming and flooding of the rivers was feared, one man built a damn to try and save his town from the overflowing river
the other man had people dig a river to divert the water to a much larger river
after the storm the damn broke, the damn actually increased flooding and destruction

energy cannot always be stopped or contained, in that case try diverting it.

It is your path I am just trying to Give you my best
I wish you well
Neil

Interesting, but what about those men that are infertile, what is their place in the world ?

Diy, I have long since given up with that, as it causes extreme tension in the neck and head,a sort of high pitched screaming, it is not pleasurable, that I can tell you. Now I just channel that energy into my art and photography as a release, but even with that it is a very temporary release

Did you mean infertile or impotent?

well it would be hard to lump all of them togerthor and make one answer for all of them. I would think a case by case analysis would be more appropriate. Some peoples role here may not be to procreate anymore, If I did have all the answers I would be able to make a lot of money for my services :wink: just kidding
what is DIY?
I am peace, I am love, I am joy
I am neil

[quote=Alix;12937]Did you mean infertile or impotent?
[/quote]

Infertile as in completely. Wrestled with that knowledge for over twenty years, still trying to find my place in the world, a component in the lifelong depression I have.

DIY is another name for masturbation, the latter being according to Billy Connolly, an accusing word.

I can imagine it is difficult. I hope you find some resolution.

crumpled,
many times we humans focus on our inadequacies (sp?) we spend our whole ives trying to fix them and often times to no avail. why is this? is it possible that if we learned to accept those things and choose to focus on what we are capable then maybe we would overcome without even trying. I dont know your situation and I wish you the best in it. In life there are many factors for why you may be infertile, what do you eat, do you give enough physical exercise, breathing practice, meditation, what is your view of woman, are they bueatiful creatins of God or somethibgn to screw, do you approve of your fathers view of woman, is there a metal block that you have not uncovered, do you try to expand your understanding, how much faith do you have, have you accepted yourself, do you have a spiritual leader you look up to, do you live life according to your mind our your heart etc…
so you are an artist, is it possible that you can find the beauty in your challenge? maybe you have not had real love between yourself and a woman, maybe you have not had real love for yourself. Maybe a beautiful thing about your challenge is that you can meet and talk to woman and sex is not the primary goal so you can get to know them.

My questions are all speculation crumpled. but one thing I can be pretty sure of is the more crumpled you believe you are, the more crumpled you will be. You were strong enough to get out of bed, strong enough to write your words here, there is something inside of you that still has faith otherewise you would not have taken the time. IMO you are only crumpled when you have given up, which you have not.
my best to you my brother, my heart goes out to you
with love

I am pece, I am lruth, I am joy, so is every girl and boy who claims themself

It’s a very common problem and is faced by masses these days. No doubt, that there are few exercises which can have a good effect on this disorder but in my case Levitra has worked to a great extent and I am very much satisfied with the results.
Levitra is a FDA approved drug and is used to cure erectile dysfunction in male. This helps in treating impotency and ED disorders in men suffering from risky medical conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. This is the reason why this medicine is being preferred over other impotency medicines. But the results and side effects may vary from person to person so it’s advisable to use this medicine in accordance with the instructions of the physician.

Erectile dysfunction is one of the major sexual problem which many man are facing these days.Over masturbation may be a reason for ED.but major reason for ED are depression or may be high blood pressure.You need to check all those things.
Erectile dysfunction can be treated with the help of Generic Viagra,try once Generic viagra it will definitely help you out. Generic viagra is easily available on internet you can go for any online pharmacy.Generic viagra has help out many people Suffering form ED.
So no need to worry it can be treated.

Again, before you resort to trying drugs, perhaps you can try a more natural method first:

Can’t help with the yoga and erections, but can say…

Got to lay off the MB. After few weeks some sensitivity will return.

Yes, sex is crazy business for sure. I am always amazed each spring when I take walks around a local lake that has a large duck population. I see four male ducks surround a female to pin her down and take turns having sex with her all the while biting the feathers off her neck and head. They all seem to be driven and squawking loudly all the while. If they were humans, the males would get 20 years in jail most likely for such behavior. In any case, it is natures way … with ducks at least.

Below is a snip on the subject of praying mantis sexual practice (condensed) Or, skip this paragraph and get to my post if not interested. But, this paragraph just illustrates that all species have to deal with the same issues as humans more or less when it comes to sex…craziness and peace disruption. As the Taoist say…fleas come with the dog. so forget 100% peace if you are talking about participating in sex and forget 100% peace as well if you are thinking celibacy (unless you are dead to natures sex drive altogether.)

Celibates do have the possibility of more peace than the sex addict that gratifies all their sex desires. This is so because sexual stimulation produces chemicals in the brain and body, so the sex addict is on a constant high, whereas the celibate is hopefully less drugged up. But nature gives us some sex hype for free, so either way we can get drunk from our own efforts or from outside sources that are mostly beyond our control…the addict just helps nature with manufacturing more drugs internally around the clock.

From : How to Want What You Have:

“People who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of sensual pleasure find that the more pleasure they get, the more they want. Small, ordinary pleasures soon lose their power to please and must be replaced with more intense or exotic ones. Heedless sensualists usually meet a bad end. They learn the hard way that their desires are relentless and insatiable.”

Will you kill yourself in order to get some sex? This guy will.

Written by Patrick O’Brian on the subject of Sexual Practices of the Praying Mantis

Stephen watch the male mantis step cautiously towards the female mantis. In three strides he was upon her; his legs gripped her wing-covers; his antennae found hers and began to stroke them and copulation began. After a few minutes the female moved her triangular head pivoting it from left to right, then I there was a blur of movements so rapid that for all his care and extreme attention he could not follow them, and the males head was off, clamped there, a detached lemon, under the crook of her green praying arms. She bit into it, and the eye’s glow went out; on her back the headless male continued to copulate rather more strongly than before; all his inhibitions having been removed. Ten minutes later the female took off three pieces of her mate’s long thorax and ate them with every appearance of appetite, dropping a few crumbs in front of her. The male copulated on, still firmly anchored by his back legs. Stephen thought to himself, “You do not need a head, nor even a heart, to be all a female can require.” (end)

Animals are interesting to study when the subject turns to sex. we sometimes think that we are the only ones crazed with such feelings. for more on this subject check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sexuality And yes, many animals masturbate as well.

I used to handle wife almost continually in my old life. I learned I had to scale back with sex stimuli with wife inside the home as well as sex stimuli outside the home if I wished to be at peace. Sometimes we go a little too far with sex and need to be reeled back in. But in reality, sex is never perfect and it always needs to be adjusted somewhat. No, just being married is not a free pass to abusing sex stimuli all the time. It is no different from thinking you can drink all the time cause you own a whisky factory or eat rich food all the time if you are a four star restaurant owner.

Being hyped up is a byproduct of sex. One goes with the other, so no use beating yourself up over it. The nature of the beast with sex is to get excited, so this is what makes it tougher addiction than food and spending, as we can eat or spend and still be devoid of most of the excitement from these areas if we wish. But in general, we cannot participate in sexual activity without getting excited. In addition, it takes a day or two for some of us to go back to normal from sex, so this refractory period is another area to deal with whenever we get hyped up sexually. Is this refractory period bad? No, it is just how things are. The problem with addicts is they overdo things to a point of pain or even under penalty of death. (If you missed my earlier post "7 benefits addictions provide us and wish a copy write me direct.)

Perfection with sex? This is where most sex addicts fail. Where judgments have to be made, mistakes can and will happen. Forget perfection - look for direction. Addictions can go in 3 directions. We can always get a quick snapshot of our recovery direction by asking the question: Is our addiction frozen? Is our addiction growing? Or is our addiction declining? Aldous Huxley sheds some light on this “The only completely consistent people are the dead.”

Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA) guidelines: is the activity placing unreasonable demands on my time and energy, will it place me in legal jeopardy or endanger my mental, physical or spiritual health?

Take Care,

i would take a break from masturbation and sex to allow the energy to replenish itself.

basically you want to do this:

  1. rest
  2. do yoga and other exercises
  3. take herbs that strengthen and replenish this lost energy, these are called JING herbs in chinese medicine and OJAS herbs in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha would be a good place to start.

You want to get on a tonic herb program along with your yoga practice. A year of this combined with as much rest as you can do will get you back to where you want to be.

This is what i did.

thank you very much:)
