Sexual Impotence, if not cared for, might make your life very imbalanced- both mentally and physically. Every step should be taken to follow a healthy lifestyle to avoid such situations. If necessary, medical or psychiatric assistance should be sought to cure impotence.

Primary instincts of life not just include hunger and sleep but also sex. There is no denial about it and there is absolutely nothing in not being upfront about it. While sex gives utmost satisfaction, inability to have a healthy sex life might lead not only to be an indicator of some physical disorder but also to a disturbed mental state.

Sexual activity demands a relaxed state of mind and complete concentration. But when tension takes over often this activity is dampened beyond repair. Sexual dysfunction is a crucial problem found commonly in case of men more than in women and it might take the form of impotence. If taken care at the initial stages sexual impotence can be dealt with healthy lifestyle.

Definition of Sexual Impotence:

“Impotence is the inability to maintain an erection of the penis for satisfactory sexual intercourse regardless of the status of ejaculation.”

Causes of Sexual Impotence:

• Diabetes
• Depression
• Alcoholism
• Tiredness
• Therapeutic use of Oestrogens
• Paralysis of parasympathetic nerves by drugs

Experts say, “Other causes of impotence include a devitalized condition of the system in general. The main problem of secondary impotence is the apprehension created by an earlier failure, which generates a good deal of anxiety for the next time. Impotence takes three forms. There is primary impotence when the man’s erectile dysfunction is there from the very beginning of sexual activity and he simply cannot have an erection. Secondary impotence is the commonest and this implies that the man can normally attain an erection but fails on one or more occasions in between normal activity. The third form is associated with advancing age.”

Suryanamaskara is the traditional way of sun worship in India. The word literally means “salutation to the sun”. The rays of the morning sun are greeted with suryanamskara. It is a combination of certain yogasanas and pranayamas.

It does not take much space and can even be done within the four walls of your apartment. It needs only enough space to lie down and stretch your arms.

Suryanamaskara includes a series of twelve postures and is done in a cyclic fashion. It is done early in the morning facing the east. The asanas are performed accompanied by mantras.

1. Pranamasan: Stand straight and erect with palms of your hands folded before your chest. “Om mitraya namah” “the friend of all”.
