How Does Mindful Sex Work?

Mindful sex is very similar to meditation in that, it’s about redirecting your thoughts. When you meditate, your thoughts might wander to your to-do list, and you redirect them back to your breath. If you’re doing a body scan meditation, you redirect them back to a certain part of your body.
Mindful sex is similar. The idea is to be very present in the body, focusing all of your attention on the physical sensations you are experiencing. Your partners’ fingers on your thighs. Their breath on your neck. The feeling of your skin rubbing together. Your thoughts will naturally try to wander. You just need to be intentional of noticing when that happens, and bring them back into your body.
If this seems like a lot of work, know that it’s worth it. In the wildly popular TED Talk “The Power of Mindful Sex,” it’s revealed that taking your focus off the end goal of the orgasm and instead focusing on each sensation actually results in more powerful orgasms. When you are present with each sensation, you let the orgasm happen – rather than make the orgasm happen. So your body is more relaxed, and the pleasure can be far more explosive.
