I tend to start worrying about losing my erection when I picture myself putting a condom on. I had a bad experience once where the condom slipped off during sex, and I realize that I can feel my stomach tighten as soon as I think about putting one on. This meditation really helped me recognize that and focus on my breathing instead.
Actually I felt very relaxed, I kinda know how to remain calmed while my mind wanders.
I feel calmer, hopefully this will transform many areas of my life.
My mind wandered a lot. But the reminder to bring it back came before he even spoke it. So itâs helping bring it back on my own.
I struggle to keep my mind focused on breathing and it constantly wanders. Often to negative thoughts⌠and often therefore to negative sexual thoughts. I havenât had a full reaction without medication for well over two years and itâs so ingrained in my mind that I have so far struggled to forget about it through meditation.
Typically when my mind wondered it traveled to future plans I have for the day & out of the present moment
Several times I thought about my anxiety of not getting it upâŚand otherwise I thought about different things that happened during the day
idk how to tackle anxiety, trying to get calm seems to trigger me more and get me angry
I thought about how good sex could feel without worry
I thought about how good sec could be without worry
I thought about sex in general but in a positive way. I also thought about really zoning in and focusing on my breathing
I have been meditating eight days now and I feel like it has really helped out
I think about how bad I want to perform well during sex.
My mind often wonders to all sorts of daily anxieties, from small things like tasks I âshouldâ be doing to doubts about self-worth. I am glad to be developing a tool to anchor me as these thoughts (and bedroom worries of course) drift in and out of my consciousness.
I need more practice. I get really relaxed I almost fall asleepđ
It helps to still your mind and break free from a spiral without sleeping and it being next day
I like the longer version
I really liked the longer duration, I have really been getting help from recognizing and combatting the inner critic with these exercises.
I have meditated off and on for years. I find this practice of noticing thoughts and deciding if they are negative, to be new and difficult. But it is strangely empowering. Instead of just trying to ignore the thoughts, checking the quality and maybe trying to penetrate to the source. But the soothing and supportive voice and the process we have come to here, allowed me to not struggle with the negative thoughts, just notice them. Isnât that strange? It is much less stressful now. That is progress.
Iâve been meditating for years. I never connected my erection issues with my mediation. Meditation has vastly improved my life but havenât noticed any benefits with ed. now that I am aware of the connection, Iâll see if focused attention makes a difference.
