Mindfulness simply means paying attention to the present moment. ‘Mindful sex’ might sound awkward but the concept is fairly simple: have sex and think of nothing else i.e. do not allow your mind to drift into to-do list territory as your partner is about to climax.

Being mindful of the action at the moment will ensure a total concentration, making the two partners give their best during the intercourse.
Lack of mindfulness during sex has given some husbands an excuse to become adulterous because they complain of not enjoying the sensation during intercourse with their wives.
According to sex and relationship therapists, practicing mindful sex can significantly boost physical and emotional health by enabling people to fully focus on their bodily sensations, resulting in a more rewarding sexual experience.

Much like meditation, mindful sex is about focusing in on the minutiae of what you are doing at the particular moment in time: zoning in on the here and now as opposed to the before and after.
According to Kate Moyle, Psychosexual and relationship psychotherapist,“It is about allowing and giving yourself the time and space to enjoy and experience the sex you are having,”.
“Being present is key – so often in life we are distracted and rarely give something our full attention, meaning that we miss out on so much,” she tells said.
One reason for the widespread lack of sexual satisfaction, as suggested by couples therapist Diana Richardson, could be that too many couples perceive sex as an exclusively goal-orientated exercise.
Viewing sex as a means to an end via orgasm can create performance anxiety and lead to a lack of intimacy, she says.
People who are having more mindful sex themselves are also more likely to be better partners and offer more satisfaction in the sack.
Those who are more in touch with and expressive of their emotions; more comfortable and connected with their bodies; and more compassionate and empathetic towards others – received far more positive reviews of their ‘erotic abilities’ from lovers.
The suggestion here is that both partners would benefit better from feeling able to be more honest in touch with themselves. Practicing mindfulness can help greatly with that.
