 AYURVEDA SECRETS FOR A HEALTHY SEX LIFE

Most of us have been given a veiled theocratic brought up, that we believe traditional school to promote sex just to indulge in for reproductive purposes​. ​However, this is not true as per the ancient science of India.

Ayurveda doesn’t restrict sex only to reproduction. Rather it says sex can nourish us deeply and should be indulged in from time to time. But there are a few rules to implement this effectively.

So, let’s have a look at what the school of Ayurveda defines for us when it comes to healthy sex.

 

IS SEX GOOD FOR HEALTH?

The ability to perform sex and having a strong sexual appetite are signs of good health, according to Ayurveda. Sex promotes good health as well as longevity.

 

​​DOES SEX HELP US LOOK YOUNGER?

In Ayurveda, one of the main causes of aging is dryness in the body, which may be caused by various reasons including lack of healthy secretions in and out of the body. Sex promotes the body's health​y​ secretions, as it is a form of physical exercise that results in mild or rigorous sweating and ultimately an orgasm. Hence, sex is believed to help us look young and healthy with a radiant skin.

 

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO INDULGE IN SEX? 

Ayurveda believes that nighttime is the ideal time for sex, rather than the morning and daytime. It also encourages more sex during the colder months of the year, rather than during the hotter or rainy months. 

According to Ayurveda, the best time to have sex is in the evening, between the hours of 6 pm and 10 pm (Kapha time). It is a time when the body is naturally winding down and preparing for bed. Many people feel naturally sleepy after experiencing an orgasm. This is because orgasm increases Kapha (fluidity, liquidity, secretions) in and of the body, which results in lethargy and tiredness.

When we perform any activity that increases Kapha during the hours of Kapha (6 am to 10 am, and 6 pm to 10 pm), the effects of that activity are multiplied. Thus, when we have sex in the evening, we experience an extra boost of Kapha, which usually helps us to have a good night sleep. However, sex in the morning is not recommended for all as it can aggravate kapha, thereby resulting in tiredness, laziness, and lethargy. So, only a healthy individual can copulate rigorously in the morning, in order to counteract kapha. 

 

WHY ARE MEN MORE CHARGED UP IN THE DAY TIME?

Vata time i.e., between 2:00 am and 6:00 am in the early morning and between 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm in the late afternoon, are the best times for physical interaction for men.

Vata increases the flow of blood to the penis and, therefore, a man's erection is likely to be strongest during this time. Hence, for men having problems like erectile dysfunction can try performing around 5 am or 5 pm. Whereas, men with premature ejaculation can prefer doing it at night around 9 pm.

 

WHAT’S THE BEST SEASON & AGE TO HAVE SEX?

According to Ayurveda, your sex life is governed by the four seasons during which your body strength changes.

The body strength is the lowest during the monsoon and summer, hence have less sex during that time (once in fifteen days).

With moderate body strength, sex once in three days is advisable during spring.

During winter the body strength is at its peak, hence one can have sex daily.

Similarly, it depends on our time of life too. The best age group for physical communication is between 21 to 60 years as our body is the strongest at that time. Sexual activities before or after that may lead to various health issues.

 

IS OVERINDULGENCE IN SEX UNHEALHTY?

Ayurveda believes that our bodies are made of 7 essential tissues or dhatus, which are created in the body one after the other. Shukra Dhatu is formed at the end which takes about a month long.

The sexual fluids, or the shukra dhatu, are thus products of a lot of effort from our body. And from these fluids come a furthermore concentrated form called the ojas; which is our radiance, our vigour. It influences everything in our body - from our immunity, digestion, physical strength, and the health of our skin to our spiritual inclination, sleep, and mood.

 Practicing more sex than usual can deplete your ojas, thus affecting your health both physically and mentally.

 

WHAT ARE THE SEX RULES IN AYURVEDA? 

As per Ayurveda, healthy sex life is very much a reality provided one diligently follows these golden sex rules -

• Ayurveda believes that a couple should refrain from having sex when the female partner is having her periods or post-delivery.

• Sex on empty stomach or immediately after a heavy meal can trigger a plethora of health problems by affecting the digestive system.

• Perform sex only when your private parts are clean and healthy, as this helps to prevent infections and associated complications.

• Ayurveda also recommends fidelity and restricting your sex life to a single partner.

• Ayurveda does not advocate the practice of physical contact on days of prime significance; such as festivals, eclipses and full moon or new moon nights.

 

AYURVEDIC DIET & LIFESTYLE TIPS FOR A GOOD SEX LIFE -

• Have foods that are natural aphrodisiacs and stimulate the production of Shukra dhatu, such as ghee, coconut juice and milk.

• One can use Ayurvedic supplements like Ashwagandha, Shilajit, Suvarna bhasma (purified gold), Nutmeg and Saffron, which helps to boost your stamina level, sexual desire and treat various sexual problems too. Make sure to have them under the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor.
