Yoga The Way It Was Meant to Be! (And for Weight Loss Too!)
In Sanskrit Yoga means union. In the Kama Sutra yoga specficaly means sexual union. So yes this is about exercise and no it isn't. There is a Yin & Yang about everything. This revelation came to me when Dr. Robin Cook's (Yes author of Coma) article on masturbation as a form of loosing weight was brought to my attention.
Masturbation?!!
Yup! According to Cook's article, Dr. Ramani Durvasula claims that one should do this at least 3 times a day. According to Dr. Durvasula this is more about replacing rewards. You should do this when you are tempted to eat fattening food for the sake off pleasure. However, the good doctor adds that this activity should go on for at least fifteen minutes. Ahhhh.... the exercise factor. The core premise is to not grab that cookie; instead grab...um -- yourself

Come Here My Love Cookie!
If the crux of this method is replacing a fattening reward with a more rewarding reward, then wouldn't physical intimacy with another be just as good or better than solo intimacy? I hope so. I hope we haven't reached a point where the solo experience is preferred to the shared experience. However, sometimes I fear that folks are hunkering into their own cocoon of comfy pleasures, even sharing TV via social media. Still, as a pleasure reward, I have to maintain that the shared intimacy experience is far more rewarding:
- There is emotional reward not found in masturbation
- There is a supportive element
- "I'll rub your {whatever} if you rub mine.
- There is a bonding experience
- There is a spiritual reward (Think Tantric. Think Yoga)
- There is no aftermath feeling of loneliness
- Possibility of falling in love or enhancing love
- Lunch time quickies
- Afternoon delights
- Less chance of grabbing that high fat snack after finishing the job Harder to give in to that temptation when
- You have each other to stop the other
- You have each other to cuddle with
- You have time to explore post coital bliss of entanglement (More about that below)
Is Orgasm Necessary?
In the solo experience of masturbation, Dr. Durvasula indicates that achieving orgasm may be important for maintaining a sustained period of time and more importantly to make the reward of a high enough pleasure to insure being better than the comfy food pleasure. However, the rewards of shared intimacy would easily overwhelm rewards of orgasm, making shared physical intimacy a far more pleasurable experience. In fact, shooting for an orgasm (Sorry for the pun) may in fact taint the experience; a Tantric principle. So it's possible to make out to loose weight. The reward-avoidance system is in place.
The Side Effect May Be The Most Important Main Effect!
Though loosing weight may be the excuse for intimacy, the important effect is the bonding/entangling effect that occurs during physical intimacy. The Tantrics knew this 3500 years ago. Intuitively we all know this even now. It is what makes intimacy so compelling and pleasurable. If you only want to loose weight, masturbation will suffice. However, if you want more; a fuller, more encompassing (perhaps spiritual) experience; make out or make love, three times a day if possible as Dr. Durvasula recommends. If you don't discover that physical entanglement leads to psi entanglement in the non-local conscious, then you can always take matters in your own hand so to speak. Dr. Stephen Hawkings believes that human aggression will be the end of humankind. If more people are finding reason to make out or make love, I for one have to believe that this will send ripples through the holographic non-local conscious that will reduce aggression throughout the world.
The Future:
- We're already reaching a point where shared physical pleasure does not require a committed relationship, especially not in the traditional material connection of sharing things and lifestyles
- Another Tantric principle
- Hookup culture
- Positive elements:
- Respect
- Some kind of bond (sexual or emotional)
- Desire to please the other
- Honesty (to each other and other effected parties)
- Comfy Zones (Make Out Rooms) What happens there, stays there
- Places in the workplace much like nap rooms currently used
- It could happen
- Places in the workplace much like nap rooms currently used
- Make out clubs under the guise of being weight loss clubs
- Weight loss being more socially acceptable
- Safe places with public safety personnel available
The Future:
You've heard it before and now it's proven to for weight loss. SO PUT DOWN THAT COOKIE AND GRAB YOUR LOVER'S HAND!
