Good Yoga is Like Good Sex
Ever wonder why women flock to yoga classes? Well, dear reader, it’s because we’re getting off on it. Young, old, doesn’t matter.
I have no idea if the men who do yoga feel the same way, though it wouldn't surprise me if they do. I Googled ‘Why do men do yoga’ and most of the articles that pop up mention improving strength and flexibility while decreasing stress, all of which, the articles never fail to mention, improve the act of lovemaking.
These assessments are 100% true, by the way. Yoga is not only calming for the mind, it builds strength and flexibility in a way you’ve likely never experienced if you’re only familiar with Western forms of exercise. Still, yoga classes remain about 80% female, which is likely why so many men feel out of place in a yoga class, which is a shame. If you’re a dude who does strength training but your muscles and tendons are tight, adding yoga to your routine will not only improve your range of motion, it will also reduce your chances of injuries while lifting.
Like good sex, yoga combines soul-changing physical sensations with just a touch of sweet, sweet pain, and really great yoga classes end with mind-calming poses that are every bit as good as that warm sex glow as you drift off into each other's arms after wearing yourself (and each other) the fuck out.
