One thing that I have noticed since starting Yoga is that I want more sex than I did already. Now, if you know me, you know that I have always had a very high sex drive, much more than I ever actually get to act on. Taking Yoga regularly has compounded my already strong desires. So how does one handle that increase? The answer is right there within the question.
It’s interesting because I’m 45 years old and according to some previous blood work, my testosterone is decreasing and fairly low. I’m not sure what physical reaction is happening in my body due to taking Yoga, but it seems to be having a noticeable effect on my libido in a positive way.
Honestly, I think that this is a welcome side effect of training. It means that whatever is happening, it is affecting my already strong drive in a positive direction. I’m okay with that. I’d much rather maintain a high level of desire than to lose it over time. So, here’s to Yoga and staying motivated well into my later years!
