Dietary Advice for Healthy Sexuality and Libido

We have already seen that blood circulation is an important factor for the libido and for harmonious sexuality. It's also important to recognize that the circulation and the condition of the blood vessels are affected by the quality of the blood that runs through them. If the blood itself is of good quality, the circulation and the vessels will be relatively healthy, and your libido will benefit directly. Thus, we place emphasis on the consumption of healthy foods—fruits and vegetables in particular, as well as whole or partially whole grains—all of which contain fibers that promote good blood circulation while also improving the quality of the blood.

Good-quality oils containing essential fatty acids help to enrich tissues and organs and benefit a variety of body functions. Essential fatty acids can be found in “extra virgin” (first cold press) oils and in fish such as tuna (red or white), mackerel, halibut, and salmon. Also, if you can incorporate organic or biodynamic produce into your diet—even just a few days a week—you will notice the difference in your libido and the renewed sexuality that results from the rich nutritional value of these products. Never forget that you get out of your body what you put into it. Do not demand excellent health of a body that has been exhausted by the incessant strains of a chronically poor diet. If you run a car on the cheapest, lowest-quality fuel, you can obviously expect it to function poorly. It is the same for your body.

Due to the polluted nature of the world in which we live, our bodies are weighed down by toxins no matter how cleanly we eat. Perhaps the only way to purge these toxins completely is by fasting, which should be practiced only under a specialist's supervision. Many people who have tried this method of cleansing will testify that it restores sexual vigor and overall vitality. An annual grape monodiet is another good method of detoxification and purification for someone with a deficient libido.

Natural Elements Contributing to a Harmonious Sexuality

There are some natural products that help to preserve equilibrium in the libido and in sexuality. Do not abuse these supplements, however, as overuse of even natural products can create or exacerbate illness. Be sure to consult with a qualified health care professional before you begin any supplementation regimen.

Copper
helps blood vessels to become more supple.

Selenium
is an antioxidant that also protects circulation. It complements the effects of vitamin E in the upkeep of the hair and tissues.

Germanium
stimulates the immune system's defenses and is recommended for treating many pathologies, especially those involving disturbances in the libido.

Evening primrose oil
is one of the most effective treatments for menstrual pain and hot flashes related to menopause. It is also useful for reducing cholesterol and treating the insulin deficiency from which diabetics suffer. It regulates the function of the prostate, preventing certain problems from developing in that organ. When consumed regularly, it also balances blood sugar levels.

Zinc
, in combination with copper, helps to combat diabetes, a disease that often reduces the libido.

Magnesium
has an important effect on the mood. Chocolate is a good source of magnesium, and it is in that sense a healthy snack when eaten in moderation. Select dark chocolate without hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Nettles
have a tonic effect. The ancient Romans would bring nettles with them whenever they traveled.

Garlic
is especially beneficial for men because it liquefies the blood and tones the penis. Combined with leeks, it may help to improve virility.

Squash seeds
have a very good effect on prostate health. Eat a small handful every day for six weeks; repeat this every six months. Eat the soft kernels, discarding the shells.

In addition to the list above, all manner of flavorful foods can benefit general health and sexual health specifically: think about adding pepper, mustard, shiitake mushrooms, and ginger to some of your meals. (However, these foods may damage or irritate the digestive tract if ingested regularly in too large a quantity, and they may cause constipation.) Herbs and spices like nutmeg, saffron, rosemary, bay leaves, and thyme can also be useful. Finally, there are some herbs that are recognized for their ability to gently balance the libido. These include sage (an ancient panacea), summer savory, lavender, and verbena.

Seashell Mudra for Women

The female sex organs consist of a direct opening that leads from the exterior of the body to the deep interior. This natural design can sometimes leave a woman feeling fragile or vulnerable to influences from the outside world.

For those moments of sensitivity—when you feel fragile, in need of protection, or simply like curling up—you can do the seashell exercise. It is one of the easiest exercises for strengthening the closure of the genital opening, and will also send energy throughout your body to the brain, which will naturally release endorphins via the activation of serotonin. The exercise will recharge your energy, close an open “porthole,” and direct you inward, safeguarding your privacy.

Exercise

  • Place one hand over the vulva, so that the center of your palm is on the clitoris and your hand covers the whole pubic area.
  • Position the fingers over the outer labia to create a protective covering, like a closed door.

A woman who practices this calming exercise in bed will often find herself able to fall asleep harmoniously in this posture.

Great Yin Mudra

The meeting point of all the yin meridians in the body is a point located at the middle of the perineum (which the Chinese call the
hui yin,
pronounced “hwee yeen,” or Great Yin point). The perineum—also called the pelvic floor muscle—exists in both women and men; it is found on a woman's body between the anus and the rear part of the vaginal opening.

In this exercise, you (or a partner) will be gently pressing on this Great Yin point. By doing so, you will sensitize the entire genital region, especially if a partner is doing the pressing (though taking care not to press too hard). Remember that for humans, pleasure is almost always reinforced when gentleness and patience are practiced. Remember, also, that certain pleasurable sensations are mainly brought about by repeated muscular stimulation, so you may wish to repeat the exercise several times.

Exercise

  • To strengthen the Great Yin point, press on this area several times; use the tip of your middle index finger in short, brisk motions.
  • Carefully try pressing more intensely to stimulate the area  described.

The effect is obvious, because this muscle is linked to orgasm. Although there are different types of orgasm (at least two for men and at least three for women), it is the Great Yin from which orgasm most often originates.

This exercise may be performed solo, but your partner can also practice it on you. In this case, you should guide him or her to exert the correct amount of pressure.

Mudra
of the Two Nipples

The extremities of the breasts are often an erogenous zone for women (and sometimes, though rarely, for men as well). Therefore, a woman can arouse or augment her capacity for pleasure by practicing the Mudra of the Two Nipples regularly. The nipples are directly connected to the area of the uterus, so this mudra will sensitize several areas of the body at once.

Consider the great number of breast-feeding mothers who get a true sensation of pleasure from the sucking and pinching of their babies' gums. Some have even reported being brought to orgasm. This may help us to better understand the sacred and secret link that connects the mother and her child (especially when it is a male child).

Exercise

Three types of caresses may be effective for stimulating this area.

  • The first consists of rotating the palms of the hands, regularly and very gently, in circular movements over the nipples.
  • The second involves pressing the nipple between the index finger and thumb, rolling the two fingers together.
  • The third involves sucking.

You or your partner may invent other caresses that are more original than the ones described above. If you add fantasy into the mix, you will increase your pleasure.

Remember that sensitivity is greatest if a partner performs this exercise on you, though it can certainly be performed solo as well.

Mudra of the Two Breasts

The mammary glands contain a great number of branch points, both of nerves and of energies. On a psychological level, the breasts are one of the four feminine symbols, along with the hair, the sex organs, and the buttocks. Some women even undergo surgery to make their bosoms more opulent. Some men look at a woman's breasts before they notice anything else about her.

For all these reasons, a woman's breasts are very important, no matter their size.

Exercise

  • In the morning, or when you undress at night, massage your breasts by kneading them gently and lovingly. Be sure to massage their undersides and outer edges, as well as the inner edges and nipples.
  • During foreplay, your partner should caress your breasts gently, tenderly, and sometimes with a little firmness. Your sexual reactions will be noticeable, if not immediate.

The more time you spend on your breasts, the more sensitized they will become. As a reflexive effect, your libido will improve.

Opening Mudra

The “opening” in this mudra refers to the outer and inner labia that protect the entrance to the vagina. In the ancient Chinese texts that explore sexuality, the vagina is often referred to as the “jade garden,” whose entrance must be opened to facilitate an enjoyable entrance by the “jade stalk” (penis).

During times of arousal, two glands, known as Bartholin's glands, secrete a viscous liquid that facilitates the penis's entry. These glands are located on each side of the posterior part of the vaginal opening. They are between 10 and 15 mm long, 8 mm high, 5 mm wide, and weigh 4 or 5 grams each. They are also known as the greater vestibular glands. These glands secrete their lubricant during occasions of fantasy, erotic caressing, or even milder types of arousal, such as a steamy kiss or a passionate gaze. The more intense the desire, the greater the arousal and the more this liquid is produced.

Some women lose their capacity to produce this lubricant with age. Moreover, some psychological problems, or a lack of sexual appetite, can impede the function of these glands. The simple exercises of the Opening Mudra can help a woman to produce more lubricant, even after menopause.

Exercise

  • While in bed, or comfortably seated, relaxed, and calm, create a sexual fantasy. Visualize your partner (or even someone else) doing whatever you would like him or her to do to you; or visualize some other sexy scene. If you do not have a partner, create one mentally. He or she can have whatever appearance and physique you are attracted to.
  • Fantasize, but do not touch yourself; keep the exercise purely mental. After a while, you will feel a sensation spreading through your lower abdomen, maybe also your chest, and in some cases your neck and the back of your head.
  • Then, rather quickly, you will feel an opening sensation in your vulva as the lubricant is produced.
  • If you train yourself daily, you will create a reflex; if you have a partner, he or she will be quite surprised at the abundance of lubrication.

Variation

Before visualizing your fantasies, you can also try picturing an intense beam of red light, or magma, reaching from the center of the earth into your lower belly (where the first and second chakras are located). The energy you create will strengthen the energy of your libido, which is located in the peristaltic zone (the abdomen and lower abdomen).

Alternatively, you can visualize your labia opening in response to the desire that grows within you.
