![]() ![]() Also, a lack of education and misogyny are reasons why women feel disconnected from the power of their yoni, says Tyomi Morgan, sexologist, pleasure coach, and Sweet Vibes' in-house sexpert. It's no wonder that a lot of women have not only felt disconnected from their own sacred sexual center but also felt afraid or ashamed of it, too. As a result many girls and women habitually monitor their body's outward appearance, "which leads to increased feelings of shame, anxiety, and disgust toward the self reduces opportunities for peak motivational states and diminishes awareness of internal bodily states." Magazine-an American liberal feminist magazine founded by Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes-points out that slut-shaming "is uniquely a women's issue, and words that exist to describe someone 'too sexual' are pointedly women-specific."Īlso, a 2008 study that discussed objectification theory postulates that many women are sexually objectified and treated as an object to be valued for its use. Men were exempt from this.Īdditionally, Ms. Women who were suspected sex workers in towns where soldiers were stationed were arrested and forced to have mandatory pelvic examinations. For example, Britain introduced the Contagious Diseases Act (CDA) in 1864, which was designed to prevent venereal disease, including the spread of syphilis, in the armed forces. History has many instances of this happening. "If sex was a way to feel alive, unstoppable, and powerful, then it must be controlled and shamed, too." "We not only lost touch with the power of the feminine and the power of sexuality, but women and all things womanly were debased, degraded, and shamed for being sexual," says Shasta Townsend, a tantrika and BIPOC sex and relationship expert. While there isn't an exact date as to when the patriarchy "began," there is some research that says it started as far back as between 3500 BC and 500 BC (which is why, for many of us, it has literally felt like forever). Why have women become separated from the power of their yoni? Research suggests that sexual stimulation, including through masturbation, reduces stress and tension, boosts concentration, relieves menstrual cramps, and improves sex with a partner. It is believed that when we uplift our sexual energy from the lower centers of our bodies through the power centers of the heart and third eye-otherwise known as kundalini rising (or awakening)-we can experience higher consciousness and one heck of an orgasm.Īnd let's not forget masturbation is healthy and fulfilling. ![]() "In the Tantric traditions of India, the yoni is a sacred vessel that holds the nectar of life and yields the powers of pleasure, desire, creation, and manifestation." ![]() "Pleasure and desire are the sexual energies that offer us the power to transform our wounds into wisdom and pains into purpose," she says. ![]() However, the esoteric or spiritual perspective of the power of the yoni goes much deeper, says Lord. "The female external anatomy of this sexual center consists of the mons, clitoris, clitoral hood, labia majora, labia minora, vaginal introitus, and perineum."Ī clitoris has 8,000 nerve endings that have no other purpose but to induce pleasure and orgasm. "From a physiological perspective, the yoni is the erogenous zone between our legs," Coltrane Lord, a conscious intimacy and relationship expert, tells HelloGiggles. Yoni is a Sanskrit word derived from Hinduism that means "source," "womb" or "vagina." ![]()
