Is your sleeping posture correct? Correct sleeping posture can improve sexual function
Each of us may think how to sleep comfortably. But that's not the case. Sleeping is also exquisite. Correct sleeping posture can not only improve sleep quality, but also improve sexual function. So what are the sleeping positions that affect sexual ability?
Correct sleeping posture can improve sexual function
Right recumbent
"It's not good to lie prone, nor is it good to lie on the left side. Is it good to lie on the right side?"? "It is true that lying on the right side neither oppresses the heart nor the reproductive organs, making it a better sleeping position, but not every male is suitable for sleeping on the right side.". Medical experts have discovered that whether lying on the left or right side can lead to an unexpected occurrence - testicular torsion.
The testicles "reside" within the scrotum, each connected to the body through a tissue called the spermatic cord. The spermatic cord has blood vessels that provide blood circulation to the testicles. When men sleep in a lateral sleeping position, the testicles and penis are squeezed between their legs, and the pressure they bear is significantly greater than when standing.
Some men, especially teenagers, move around and twist their legs during sleep, which may cause twisting and knotting of the spermatic cord. As the blood vessels that supply nutrients and excrete metabolites to the testis pass through the spermatic cord, once the spermatic cord undergoes torsion, the testis cannot receive nutrients and excrete metabolites. If the torsion lasts for more than 12 hours, the testis may suffer from ischemia and necrosis.
Lying on the left side
Due to the fact that the heart is located on the left side of the body, when a man sleeps in a left lying position, the heart can be oppressed, making people restless and prone to poor sleep quality. Moreover, when the heart is compressed, the blood circulation throughout the male body will slow down, including in the reproductive organs. When the reproductive organs do not receive sufficient blood supply for a long time, it may cause male erectile dysfunction.
Best sleeping position: supine
In fact, lying on the back is the most suitable sleeping position for men. Men choose a supine sleep position and naturally separate their legs, which neither compresses the internal organs and reproductive organs, nor prevents scrotal torsion. It can provide sufficient space for the scrotum and penis to move, effectively dissipate heat, promote blood circulation in the reproductive organs, and is most beneficial to the health of the reproductive system and sexual function.
Sleep on your stomach
The biggest disadvantage of sleeping on the stomach is that it oppresses the heart. If the time is too long, or the chest is compressed excessively due to obesity or other reasons, it may affect the circulation of qi and blood around the body, causing cardiac discomfort, breathing difficulties, and other conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine says that heart failure is caused by a lack of qi, so it is important to ensure a good breathing state during sleep.
At the same time, the penis is compressed, hindering blood circulation, easily causing frequent ejaculation, causing symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue in men, affecting normal work and life; "When the scrotum is compressed and the heat cannot be dissipated effectively, it can increase the temperature of the scrotum, adversely affect the spermatogenic function of the testis, and reduce male fertility. Therefore, men who have not yet achieved" paternity "should pay particular attention to not lying prone.".
These two sleeping positions are the most nourishing for the kidney: the recumbent position for yang recovery and the recumbent position for mixed yuan recovery
Recumbent recumbent
"The body should lie naturally flat, with the hips relaxed, legs like rings, with the hearts of both feet facing each other. It is best to keep the heels of the feet directly facing the perineum (preferably if you can stand against the perineum). Place the hearts of both hands near the root of the thigh, with the palms facing the abdomen.".
Lying on the back is easier for the body to relax due to the large implantation area and less compression. The relaxation of the body and a certain posture can quickly fill up yang and kidney qi. The kidney yang qi is equivalent to the true fire of the life gate - the key to the size of a vitality is to see whether the yang qi of the life gate is sufficient.
This posture is intended to be more conducive to the sufficiency of kidney yang. The effect of this type of tonifying the kidney is obvious.
Hunyuan sleeper
The practice method of raising the level of "Huanyang Lie" is to lie on the back with two feet facing each other, legs like rings, hands overlapping or crossing gently on the head, palms facing the lily on the top of the head. This posture can not only replenish kidney qi but also relax the head, which has a good therapeutic effect on insomnia and neurasthenia.
The upper arms form a circle, which allows the kidney qi not to travel up the genitals, but to be pulled deep into the middle of the abdomen. The lower legs form a circle, which is conducive to the circulation of Qi and blood around the body along the legs to the middle of the body.
Both of these postures will tighten the liver and kidney meridians to exercise them.
