the ability to perform sex and having a strong sexual appetite are signs of good health, according to Ayurveda. Sex promotes good health as well as longevity.
In Ayurveda, sexual health is deeply connected to the balance of the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and is considered a vital aspect of overall well-being, with a specific focus on “Ojas” (the essence of vitality), where proper sexual practices are seen as a way to nourish and maintain this energy; the practice of enhancing sexual health is called “Vajikarana” in Ayurveda, which aims to promote sexual potency and vigor through dietary and herbal remedies tailored to individual dosha imbalances.
Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a healthy mind-body connection for optimal sexual health, including practices like yoga, meditation, and pranayama.
Dosha balance:
A balanced Vata promotes healthy libido and arousal, Pitta governs sexual passion and stamina, while Kapha supports endurance and lubrication; imbalances in any of these can lead to sexual dysfunction
Across time, culture, and history, humans have engaged in sex. But most of us are told and are veiled that sex is only for reproductive purposes. But Ayurveda doesn’t limit sex for just breeding. One of the three pillars of Ayurveda is sex. Sex can nourish us profoundly and should be indulged from time to time. But there are rules to this.
Everything, according to Ayurveda, has a relation with the three elements. Sex is one of the factors of air elements vatadosha. If the movement of this vata is healthy, it keeps us balanced and the rhythms of nature.
Traditionally it is believed that sex is a way to achieve reproduction. But Ayurveda does not support this belief of restricting sex to reproduction. As per ayurvedic philosophy, sex nourishes us deeply, and it should happen from time to time.
Sexual urge is a natural instinct and Ayurveda doesn’t restrict sex to reproduction only, rather it is thought as an activity that can nourish us deeply and in which we should indulge from time to time. Ancient India has had open conversations about all aspects of sex. The last chapters in the Kamasutra, India’s most famous handbook of love, is all about different ways you can enhance your sexual pleasure. Ayurveda has a branch called Vajeekarana which deals with Improving sexual potency and efficacy of progeny.
The framework of Ayurveda is wide enough to include all that is very essential to make the humans healthy and happy. Balanced Sex is considered one of the three aspects of life which maintain health, along with a balanced diet and sleep.
According to Ayurveda, disciplined sexual intercourse helps to balance the body’s fundamental principles and the role it plays in maintaining the mental level is of greater significance.
“Did you know an active sex life can help you…
With that in mind…
According to WHO, sexual wellbeing comprises factors like having a good understanding of sex, engaging in consensual and positive relationships with your partner, and enjoying the sex you are having.
Hindu scriptures one finds different types of sexual activity that can easily be classified
Dharma sex – the purpose of sexual activity is only procreation. There is no love here, no desire, and no attachment, just duty
Kama sex –the purpose is pleasure, nothing else. Here the focus is to indulge the senses and excite the mind and achieve orgasm. Homosexuality falls in this category as it has no procreative purpose.
Artha sex –Sex is a transaction. Sex is used as a service offered in exchange for material favours.
Moksha sex –where sex is seen as a technique to break free from the unending cycle of birth and death. This idea is prevalent in Tantrik texts where sex is not about pleasure or procreation or commercial transaction; it is about gaining magical powers known as siddhi that enables one to control nature.
