how to increase stamina on bed - #39549
I am really struggling with something and hoping you guys can help me out. Lately, I’ve been feeling like my stamina on bed is super low. It’s kind of awkward to admit, but my partner and I have been noticing this big drop in my energy and endurance during intimate moments, which is really frustrating! I used to be able to go for much longer, but now it feels like I’m out of breath after just a few minutes. I’ve tried doing some light exercises, but I’m not sure if they help — I usually just like jogging, nothing too intense. Sometimes, I’m just too stressed with work and life stuff, which probably doesn't help either! I read somewhere that diet could play a role when it comes to how to increase stamina on bed, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I ate something really healthy. Fast food has become my best friend, ugh. Also, do you think herbs or supplements could help? I’m a bit lost and really don’t know how to approach this whole thing. I mean, I want to make things better, not just for me but for my partner too. Any advice or tips on how to increase stamina on bed would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Increasing stamina during intimate moments involves a multifaceted approached, focusing on body, mind, and diet, which can be effectively addressed through Ayurveda. Your energy levels and endurance are influenced by your Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, stress levels, lifestyle choices, and diet. Recognizing the impact of modern fast food is a good start—these can aggravate Vata, leading to diminished stamina and vitality.
Prioritize including ‘sattvic’ foods in your diet. These are fresh, whole, unprocessed foods, like fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and dairy. They nourish your body and mind without causing stress. Incorporate energetic foods like almonds, dates, and figs, which are known for boosting stamina. Ensure you are eating balanced meals at regular intervals to support your digestive fire or ‘agni.’
Addressing stress is crucial. Integrate relaxation techniques like Pranayama or simple breathing exercises daily. Before bed, practice ‘Nadi Shodhana,’ alternate nostril breathing, to calm your nerves and improve sleep quality. Moderate exercise is beneficial; consider yoga or Tai Chi, which enhances flexibility and stamina without overly taxing your body. Focused asanas like the Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) can be particularly effective for energy enhancement.
Herbs such as Ashwagandha or Shatavari may support your stamina, improving energy and stress resilience. It is advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements to ensure they suit your individual constitution. Avoid relying on quick fixes that promise instant results, as they might not provide sustainable benefits.
Consider regular self-care practices like ‘Abhyanga’ or oil massage with warm sesame oil can soothe the nervous system, a weekly habit that recharges your energy reserves. If the situation persists, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare professional. Balancing your approach with these tools can support a steady improvement in your stamina and overall vitality.
