how to increse sex time - #37242
I am really struggling with my stamina lately, particularly when it comes to intimacy. Feels like the fun doesn't last long enough, and it's been bothering me and my partner. I mean, we both want to enjoy the moments together, but it's just not happening. Occasionally, I find myself getting too anxious and that makes it even worse, right? I started looking into natural remedies like Ayurveda to help improve things, hoping to find some advice on how to increase sex time. I've read about certain herbs and oils but honestly, I’m a bit lost on what actually works. Last week, my friend mentioned some tips like ashwagandha and others for boosting energy and relaxation, but is that really what I need? Not sure how much to take or if there are certain preparations that are recommended for this situation. I’m also a bit worried if some of these remedies might have side effects or if they interact with anything else I take regularly. I just want to know how to increase sex time without any drama. Has anyone here had similar issues or found success with Ayurveda for this kind of problem? Any personal experiences would be super helpful. Thanks a ton!

Doctors’ responses
Increasing stamina during intimacy can certainly benefit from Ayurvedic approaches. Analyzing the root causes from an ayurvedic perspective, we consider factors like dosha imbalances, particularly Vata and Pitta, lifestyle, and stress levels affecting your reproductive health.
One remedy you mentioned, Ashwagandha, is a revered adaptogen and Rasayana (rejuvenative agent) in Ayurveda. It is indeed useful in enhancing vitality and calming anxiety. To use Ashwagandha effectively, take it as a powder (churna) or capsule. If using powder, around 1 teaspoon with warm milk or water at night can be beneficial. For capsules, follow the dosage instructions on the product label, typically one or two per day. Ensure you purchase high-quality, preferably organic Ashwagandha to avoid fillers or contaminants. It’s generally considered safe, but as it can interact with sedatives or thyroid medications, consult a healthcare provider if you’re on such treatments.
Another herb, Shatavari, is also praised for balancing hormones and enhancing general stamina. It can be taken similarly in powder form or capsules. Daily, one to two teaspoons of Shatavari powder with lukewarm water or milk after meals is recommended.
Beyond herbs, consider diet and lifestyle adjustments. Incorporate a diet rich in whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats: ghee, almonds, and sesame seeds help enhance the Ojas (vital energy) and support reproductive tissues. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, as they can disrupt Agni (digestive fire) and lead to imbalances.
Regular exercise, whether yoga or brisk walks, helps maintain overall vitality. Specific asanas like Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Dhanurasana (bow pose) encourage hormonal stability and increase endurance. Practice Pranayama (breathwork) like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to alleviate anxiety by calming your nervous system.
If anxiety persists, Brahmi is an excellent herb to induce relaxation without sedation, taken in small doses before bedtime.
Keep in mind, Ayurveda is holistic, meaning balance across diet, rest, and stress management enhance the effects of these remedies. Make sure any new supplement or routine fits within your broader lifestyle to avoid overwhelm. If symptoms persist, seeking personalized advice from an Ayurvedic practitioner can yield additional insights tailored specifically to youe needs.
