There is a notion that sexuality is more open and free than ever, when in reality many are still wondering what a sexual relationship should be like, how long it should last, how they should behave, or how often it is okay. You feel that you have to meet parameters to have a normal or acceptable sex life has only added stress and anxiety to something that should be natural and relaxed and that, based on these questions, only generate dysfunctions and problems that traditional Chinese medicine has solved through acupuncture.
This technique, which involves performing punctures on key areas of the body to achieve results at different levels, could eventually resonate in sexuality, alleviate mental load, and solve problems.
In this sense, Chinese medicine rescues three aspects of the human being that can be used in the treatment of emotional and sexual ailments: the mental and emotional aspect, the physiological or functional aspect, and the circulatory aspect. “From a very early age, Chinese medicine realized that all sexual problems had problems much to do with what was going on in the patient’s mind, in his sexual response proper as well as in his vitality”, Explains Tomás Díaz, graduate in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of Center Meridià.
“Acupuncture tries to group and coordinate these three aspects of life, so if what hurts is the knee, there is also an emotional, physical and physiological aspect that can not be left out,” says the specialist. “In a sexual ailment we cannot ignore the emotional, the stress of the patient who is on the rise due to the circumstances. I see my patients exposed to great stress, which is not even greater because of the specific problem they have.
Thomas explains that stress is especially detrimental to sexuality in singing does not allow people to relax, to enjoy, to be open to feeling and feeling another. From this point of view, what acupuncture would achieve is return the ability to rest, to let go and stop controlling everything. “When we achieve that, we achieve a second effect which is an increase in blood circulation. The patient feels more relaxed and begins to feel that irrigation increases, anxiety decreases and he feels more willing to take pleasure. ”
“It is important to derive the self-imposed concepts in sexuality and thus reduce anxiety or try to comply with the established, that the orgasm must be in such a way, that the duration must be extraordinary or that the size indicated is equity and start to build a sexuality based on the placer, well-being, by understanding my placard in order to be able to transmit it to another, with respect for the placard of another”, He recommends.
Treating sexual problems with acupuncture does not involve doing punctures in genital areas, which is the fear of some people who have thought of this therapy as a solution to their difficulties. In fact, Tomás Díaz says that these are places that should be avoided and that the punctures are instead on the back, lower abdomen, legs and other areas that achieve the desired effect.
On the other hand, although sexuality is not an individual issue and in many cases the associated problems are worked on in pairs, in acupuncture the approach is personal. “However, if the acupuncturist specializes in tackling these disorders, the couple could be treated, but it is very important that the treatment is multidisciplinary and that, while the person goes alone to the acupuncturist, you can go as a couple to a specialist psychologist or sexologist”.
