Importance of relaxation in sexual experiences from "summary" of Come As You Are: Revised and Updated by Emily Nagoski
Relaxation is a crucial element in creating a positive and fulfilling sexual experience. When we are relaxed, our body is able to fully engage in the sensations and pleasure of the moment. Tension and stress can act as barriers, preventing us from fully enjoying intimacy with our partner. The body's stress response can be triggered by a variety of factors, including past trauma, negative beliefs about sex, or even just the pressures of daily life. When we are in a state of stress, our body releases cortisol, a hormone that can inhibit sexual arousal. This can make it difficult to become physically excited, leading to decreased pleasure and satisfaction. On the other hand, relaxation allows our body to release oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and pleasure. When we are relaxed, our muscles are able to loosen, our heart rate slows down, and our breathing becomes deeper. This creates a sense of safety and connection that is essential for a fulfilling sexual experience. Creating a relaxing environment can help set the stage for intimacy. This can include dimming the lights, playing soothing music, or engaging in activities that help you feel calm and centered. Taking the time to connect with your partner, both emotionally and physically, can also help to create a sense of relaxation and intimacy. It's important to remember that relaxation looks different for everyone. Some people may find that a warm bath helps them unwind, while others may prefer meditation or deep breathing exercises. The key is to find what works best for you and your partner, and to prioritize relaxation as a key component of your sexual experiences. By doing so, you can create a more fulfilling and satisfying connection with your partner.
