Sexuality is an important aspect of being a human, as important as nutrition and oxygen some professionals indicate. Sexual activity has been linked to the natural release of opioids and dopamine in the human brain. The release is triggered much like the pleasure and satisfaction of eating when hunger is released. It is an instinctive survival mechanism of the human species. Much like knowing that a human would die without food, the brain recognizes the intrinsic necessity to procreate by releasing the pleasurable chemicals following and leading up to sexual activity in order to continue our DNA chain.
However pivotal to pushing our DNA forth, and with the exception of literal physical limitations, our brains also have a way of fooling us into sexual problems. From erectile dysfunction, to sexual addiction, to premature ejaculation, to the actual undesirability of sex, sexual problems prevail in many humans. Hypnosis has been turned to as a proven method of resolving these issues. Take the case of erectile dysfunction that is non-vascular in cause. The focus of the hypnotherapy centres on the assumed root cause. Somewhere along the line, wires are crossed internally and instead of releasing the powerful pleasure signals to the brain, and the subsequent physiological response of an erection, the brain associates an erection negatively with the natural triggers of an erection. Hypnosis focuses on re-association, highlighting sexual pleasure and removing the negative associations to bring about the natural psychological and physiological responses of sexual triggers.
The negative associations, often the cause of sexual addiction, come in the form of anxiety, emotional un-attachment or stress most often. The brains inability to block this stress becomes a catalyst of inaction, on behalf of the sexually charged body. Hypnosis in turn becomes a coach of the brain, retraining it in a way that allows natural process to occur rightfully. The fact of the matter is that the brain is a more powerful tool than the human sexual organs, and wins the battle most of the time.
Hypnosis as a means to resolve sexual behaviour has been proven over time. Suffering from sexual addiction, to erectile dysfunction, undesirable fetishes, the inability to orgasm, lagging sexual appetite, and premature ejaculation are all theoretically solvable through hypnosis measures. Again, after medical rationale is sought out to ensure the issues are not physical in nature. Hypnosis treats the mental, brain-related side of the issue. Managing the stresses, anxiety or potential disorders is critically important to maintaining a lifestyle in which all humans were meant to live.
