The key to life is all about balance and the chakras are no different. It’s important that the chakras have a healthy flow of energy and are not over or under active.

For men they can experience disorders such as prostate issues, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and so on. This chakra being closed off can have a profound impact on one’s sex life. For many, they think of sex as a purely animalistic act and while I agree it can be and sometimes that is what we need, for the most part, sex is a very deep, spiritual and energetic act, or at least it should be. For women, the act of having sex is very much tied to our emotions. The sacral chakra is the area we hold all of our emotions. Since emotions are energy and sex is about a movement of energy it makes sense that sex would become a very emotional act. The problem lies when the chakra is closed and we are not able to access this energy in the chakra. If we have sex and this chakra is closed (this goes for men and women) the energy gets stuck, thus we end up with stuck emotions and lots of energy surrounding those stuck emotions. If the chakra is over-active we end up with amplified emotions. This is how people become obsessive with others after they have had sex, especially women. In a balanced state, the act of sex is about moving
“...We’re walking around with a complete health care system inside our own body.” Keesling does a pretty good job of emphasizing the this idea throughout the entire article. I must admit that from personal experience I do indeed agree with Keesling in that sex is great for the mind and body, as well as the fact that it could even be used as therapy for menstrual problems. She also makes a point of stating that “...sex also creates an emotional and physical bond that is essential...”. I agree, because it is also my experience and belief that although sex is not the entire relationship, it surely makes up about 80% of it, and if there is an inability to be open about one’s sexual life with thier partner, then one will never be able to attain a health tight bond with their other half.
Sexual dysfunction can be defined as the inability to partake in or enjoy sexual relationship with one's partner as a result of underlying physical and/or psychological factors (Hoel, 1998). Physical attributions play a large part in both males and females and their ability to perform and enjoy sex. Males encounter several normal changes as they become older. A decrease in the hormone testosterone is very common amongst males with increasing age. Testosterone is beneficial because it gives a decrease in body fat, an increase in energy, including sexual energy, and an increase in lean muscle. These factors are important for physical attraction one has for another, definitely improving the outcome of sexual arousal. The size and firmness of the testicles may be reduced because of this decrease as well. The sexual response phase also changes with age. During the beginning of sex, an older man may experience a delay in his erection and when erect, the penis may not be as firm as when younger. ...
All things found in the universe are thought of as a balance of the two opposite but complementary forces yin and yang. Organs in our body can be predominantly yin or yang but the body still manages to maintain the overall balance because of the total sum of yin and yang in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine states that diseases are caused by an imbalance of yin and yang. When trying to restore the balance and the person’s health, practitioners look for the nature of the imbalance and use acupuncture as a method to correct the imbalance.“However, despite more than 3,0000 studies into acupuncture since the 1970s, there is no evidence that any force qi ( yin and yang) exists or that it flows along invisible energy lines.” ( “Why acupuncture is giving sceptists the needle”, David Derbyshire)Therefore the whole system acupuncture is based on can’t be reliable.

Most people are deluded, believing that casual sex is emotionally safe when it is not. These views claim that there is no commitment to the partner, therefore lacking intimacy. Details of personality, family, an individual’s life and how an individual reacts to a situation are not communicated. It would seem to be difficult to become emotionally involved, which could easily cause the person to be vulnerable to stress and heartache. After all, with no emotional ties the individual can’t be emotionally hurt. If a problem does arise there are no commitments so the partner can easily be abandoned. However, this is not true. Sex always equals emotional bindings and even so called casual sex therefore creates emotional damage. Scientifically, the act of sex stimulates receptive nerves in the
CSA has very adverse impacts on devolving healthy intimate romantic relationships. Some victims of CSA decide to abstain from sexual activity altogether (Noll 2003) or feel a low sexual drive or feel guilt when aroused (Levenkron 2007) “CSA survivors have more difficulties in their adult relationships, reporting insecure attachment, lower levels of sexual and relationship satisfaction, and more marital dissolution. Two cases in “Stolen Tomorrows” of this are Gina and Olivia. Olivia’s marriage suffered, and ended in divorce, because of her total disinterest in sex. She had no sexual desire at all and lacked the ability to be aroused, which was a result of the sexual abuse her father had put her through. In order to cope with the abuse she developed a “mental novocain” that disconnected her from feeling anything “down there”.
There is some mention of the chakras as psychic centers of consciousness in the Yoga Upanishads (circa 600A.D.) and later in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (circa 200 B.C.). Patanjali's tradition was largely dualistic, however, stating that nature and spirit were separate, and that the goal of yoga was to rise above nature.
General health has been found to be a major determinant for the quality and quantity of sexual
...er things. Sex for both men and women hold the key to many positive thing for example, better moods, better memory, fewer cold and flu, lighter periods, more regular menstrual cycles, improves sleep, can help prevent cancer, and also great way to stay in shape. How is this possible? Fewer cold and flus is possible because, “people who have regular sexual activity have a third higher levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that boost the immune system and can help fight colds and flu.” (Amen, The Brain in Love, pg 13). Sexual activity can help prevent cancer within males. Prostate Cancer is a common type of cancer within males and one way to help prevent this is for a male “to at least ejaculate more than 5 times a week. By ejaculating that many times levels of oxytocin and DHEA will increase which helps prevent cancer.” (Amen, The Brain in Love, pg 16).

Men and women are sexual beings. Even though they both have different genitalia they both are going through the same four stages of the sexual response cycle. When there is a break in the cycle because of a sexual dysfunction, it is important to seek out help instead of ignoring it because it can potentially lead to the relationship falling apart.
Brahmacharya or celibacy, according to Swami Sivananda Saraswati, is “self-restraint, particularly mastery of perfect control over the sexual organ or freedom from lust in thought, word and deed.” He calls for a conversion of sexual desire to spiritual energy, also known as ojas, through meditation, yoga and prayer. He also uses Freud’s term ‘sublimation’ and claims it “is not a matter of suppression or repression, but a positive, dynamic, conversion process. It is the process of controlling the sex energy, conserving it, then diverting it into higher channels, and finally, converting it into spiritual energy or ojas sakti.” Ojas, according to Swami Saraswati, is “spiritual energy that is stored up in the brain.” The ultimate spiritual ideal is to be free of sexual desire and Swami Saraswati claims that only total sublimation can make this happen. He argues that if an individual is able to attain perfect sublimation, “there will be purity in thought, word and deed. No sexual thought will enter the mind at any time.”
Ros Boa, A practitioner of Sexual Medicine defines female sexual pain has “prevalent and distressing for patients.” Boa concentrates on sexual pain or Vaginismus in women despite age, race, and ethnicity. According to the article of “Female sexual pain disorders,” female dysfunction is anything that intervenes with the sexual response cycle. A problem such as ‘pain’ prevents the individual from experiencing satisfaction from sexual activity due to involuntary muscle spasm that closes off any form of penetration by the tampon, speculum, or the male penis.
The initial study, implemented in 2005, surveyed thirty people, who proclaimed they have “great sex”; the initial finding of these thirty people found six different components of optimal sexuality. With their follow up study,
Sex has been a taboo subject for many generations in nearly every culture present in the world. Many seem to rely on the traditional idea that one should abstain from sex until marriage, while others evolved and began to exercise the idea of sexual freedom and are not held down by any certain beliefs or traditions. Leslie Bell takes an in-depth look into this complex situation by taking into account various psychoanalytical theories and first-hand experiences in order to make sense of this complicated subject. One can argue that sex becomes a much more complicated rather than a pleasurable experience for women due to the confusing standards that society has put in place, their upbringing from childhood to adulthood, and their overwhelming desire
