What is Mindful Sex? And How To Practice It!

Relationships

Have you ever caught your mind drifting during sex and suddenly realized you were miles away? It’s normal and something we all do from time to time. Thinking about your day. Worried about the winter gas bill. Or perhaps simply being on autopilot. These all take you out of the moment and can cause a disconnect between you and your body and you and your partner. Taking a more mindful approach to sex can deepen your connection with your partner and lead to more satisfying sex. Keep scrolling to find out more!

But first, what is mindfulness meditation?

Mindfulness meditation is the Buddhist practice of being solely in the present. This means focusing on your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations at that exact moment. For many of us, living in the present can be tricky as our thoughts often run rampant. Mindfulness is about focusing on the thoughts relevant to that moment only. When random thoughts appear, you simply have to let them pass without judgment and bring yourself back to the present. Research shows that mindfulness can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance productivity, and give a greater insight into ourselves by observing our own minds. If practiced regularly, mindfulness can improve personal relationships, physical health, and mental health.

Okay, and what about mindful sex?

Taking the basic principles of mindfulness, we can apply these during sex. Mindful sex involves fully immersing your mind, body, and emotions into that moment. Sex can sometimes be mechanical and routine-like. But, mindful sex is about paying greater attention and feeling deeper sensations, both physically and emotionally.

And the benefits?

There are numerous benefits of practicing mindful sex for you and your partner. These include:

  • a deeper connection between the two of you,
  • more satisfying sex,
  • a greater chance of reaching orgasm,
  • increased sexual arousal,
  • increased body confidence,
  • and a better night’s sleep.

So simple yet so rewarding. Mindful sex is for anyone and everyone, so if you would like to improve your sex life, give it a go with your partner. Or you can even practice on your own when masturbating.

5 top tips to have more mindful sex

1. Talk with your partner

If you are thinking of giving mindful sex a try, have a chat with your partner beforehand. This way, you can discuss your expectations and what you would like to achieve. Before you even begin having sex, simply talking about mindful sex will bring the two of you closer. Not to mention, being on the same page will help you both once you actually get down to it.

2. Practice mindful meditation

Before you try mindful sex, try some mindfulness meditation. You can practice this alone or with your partner. Sit in a comfortable position, crossed leg, or even laying down. Focus on your breath by inhaling and exhaling deeply through your nose. If your mind drifts off, allow the thoughts to pass without judgment and bring your attention back to your breath. You can do this for ten minutes to begin with, and slowly build if you wish to.

3. Focus on your and your partner’s breath

When you are having sex with your partner, focus on your and their breath. Are they fast? Slow? Are you in sync with one another? Focusing on each others’ breath will keep you anchored in the moment. Not to mention, paying attention to your partner’s breathing pattern will give you an idea of what they like.

4. Focus on your senses

Another way to anchor yourself into the moment is to focus on your senses, one at a time. Pay attention to your partner’s skin. Or the sound of their breath. Or the warmth of their body. If you catch your mind drifting, bring your attention back to your senses.

5. Look into each other’s eyes

They say the eyes are the gateway to the soul, so be sure to include plenty of eye contact to connect with your partner. This might feel a bit uncomfortable to begin with. So, take your time and try not to hold your gaze for too long. But, including regular eye contact is a way to ensure you are both in the moment together.

One last thing…

Prepare yourself for more mindful sex by listening to Passion’s sound journeys. Immerse yourself in the most calming and restorative sounds to fuel the fire of your passion. Experience:

  • Less stress and anxiety
  • A greater understanding of your body
  • Enhanced confidence

And, most importantly, greater passion.
