Mindfulness: The Key To Sexual Satisfaction
If you feel like you have hit a sex slump, you are not alone. According to a recent study, 70 percent of women and 59 percent of men reported not being sexually satisfied in their current relationship. But, do not despair! There is a way you can change all that.
Science has proven that mindfulness, which is the practice of paying attention to the present moment nonjudgmentally, can help you feel more connected to your partner, increase sexual desire, and make sex more enjoyable.
When you are in the moment and truly present, you feel connected and can let your guard down. Your presence is the best present for your partner. You are not letting your mind wander to the next thing on your to-do list or what you are going to wear to that upcoming party. You are present in the moment and you feel connected. When you feel this connection, you will also find you have more sexual desire and feel more turned on by your partner.
Since the key to sexual satisfaction is mindfulness. Here are some mindfulness techniques you can try next time you are with your partner to help you feel more connected and increase your sexual desire.
1. Start With A Hug
Before you even get started, you want to make sure you are in the right mindset. This means getting yourself out of your head and into your body. A great way to do this is to give your partner a hug.
Hugging is a great way to connect with your partner on a physical and emotional level. When you are hugging, you are physically close to your partner and you are also letting your guard down and letting them in.
2. Look Into Their Eyes
Once you are in the moment and feeling connected to your partner, it is time to look into their eyes. When you look into someone’s eyes, you are seeing them for who they truly are. You are seeing their soul.
When you look into your partner’s eyes, you are letting them know that you see them and that you are present. You are also letting them know that you are attracted to them and that you want to be close to them.

After you have looked into their eyes, it is time to touch them. Touch is a great way to connect with someone on a physical level. When you touch someone, you are letting them know that you are here and that you want to be close to them.
Touch also releases oxytocin, which is the “cuddle hormone” that makes you feel bonded to someone.

Once you have touched your partner, it is time to kiss them. Kissing is a great way to connect with someone on a physical and emotional level. When you’re kissing, you’re letting your partner know that you’re present and that you want to be close to them.
