How Can Sacred Sexuality Practices Help Your Relationship?

Sacred sex isn’t what it may sound like to those who have not learned about it. In fact, sacred sexuality meaning is both highly defined and quite individualized. However, sacred sexuality practices can improve your relationship in several ways. 

What is Sacred Sex and How is it Different from What I’m Doing Now?

You may think that because you’re in a committed relationship and view the intimacies with your spouse as sacred, that you’re practicing sacred sex. However, the meaning of sacred isn’t what many believe it to be. Sacred sex is spiritual and divine.  Some common sacred sexuality practices include:

• Preparing your body – bathing before sex helps you and your partner connect with all senses.
• Connection through touching – some examples include holding hands while synchronizing breathing, rubbing each other with oils, remaining joined together after orgasm.
• Looking into one another’s eyes
• Using your intuition to explore your partner

Sacred Sexuality Practices Allow You to Connect on a Deeper Level

Imagine feeling completely at ease with yourself and your partner. When you practice sacred sex, you and your partner connect physically and spiritually. Communication happens with more than words. Your movements and breathing become as one. Together you experience more fulfilling sex. Many couples practicing sacred sex report more intense or frequent orgasms. 

Is Your Sex Life Negatively Impacting Your Relationship?

You’re not alone. Sex is one of the leading reasons couples have issues. Sometimes one partner looks for more fulfilling sexual experiences outside the relationship. Other times a partner guilts the other into “taking care of their needs.” Don’t let your sex life, or lack of one, destroy your relationship.

Talk to one another about how your intimate time impacts you and consider seeking a professional. You may find that when you together learn about sacred sexuality practices, you can have a stronger relationship both in the bedroom and outside of it.
