Breath and sex


Have you ever wondered what breathing has to do with sex? No? well have a read of the below blurb from my favourite blog sexuality.about.com. There is a discussion about how important breathing is for healthy satisfying sex, but also about breathing, sex and people with chronic pulmonary disease. Very interesting.

November is COPD Awareness Month. In case you are like about half the people who could be diagnosed with COPD, which is to say, unaware of it, COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which is an umbrella term that describes a range of lung disorders, all of which lead to narrowing or blockage of the airways in your lungs.
One of my favorite sex educators, and author of Urban Tantra, Barbara Carrellas often says that sex travels on the breath. Certainly without breath there is no sex. But this doesn't mean one has to breath a certain way, or even breathe on their own, to have breath and to have sex. The relationship between breath and sex is intense, and also complex.
