This is a short YouTube talk by Emily Fletcher (founder of Ziva Meditation) describing how meditation can improve sexual function and intimacy. Key claims: stress produces adrenaline and cortisol that impair erections and orgasms; meditation reduces stress and increases mirror-neuron activity, enhancing empathy, generosity in lovers, and sexual pleasure. The clip ends with Fletcher noting her teaching experience (~five years) and inviting viewers to a paid masterclass.

So I started talking about meditation and sex because no one else was. And so many of my students started coming to me and saying, emily, what is going on? I know you mentioned better sex, but this is crazy. They were talking about animalistic things going on. And even I had a woman had her very first orgasm after she learned to meditate. And so the reason why meditation helps with sex is that if your body becomes stressed, it starts producing chemicals like adrenaline and cortisol. So adrenaline will disallow men from having erections and cortisol will disallow women from having orgasms, which obviously is not good for your sex life. The other cool thing that meditation does is that it increases your mirror neural activity. So mirror neurons are the reason why porn is a multi billion dollar industry. Mirror neurons are the thing that allow you to receive pleasure from watching someone else have pleasure. And so the more mirror neural activity you have, the more generous you are as a lover, the more pleasure you get from seeing your partner have pleasure. Also, they're going to think that you're psychic because before they even know have a desire, you're going to intuit that desire. So it just creates this really beautiful upward spiral of generosity. I'm Emily Fletcher. I'm the founder of Ziva Meditation. And I've been teaching meditation for about five years. And it is the single most rewarding, exciting thing that I've ever done.
