The moon creates a pull of the waters of the earth, generating waves and currents. The same happens to our body. That’s why women that are energetically aligned with the energies of Pachamama, have the menstruation cycle following the moon cycle. Men also feel the moon cycle, for example feeling more horney and with more energy during fuil moon.
As the lunar cycle passes, the sexual energy of you and your partner gets build up you until the big climax on the Full Moon. There are certain patterns, following universal laws of energey that can help us determine the best time to have sexual intercourse.
Higher Sex Drive Around the Full Moon
For many people, libido peaks around the time of the full moon. This may be due to several factors:
Increased testosterone: Studies show testosterone levels in both men and women rise during the full moon, fuelling arousal and sexual motivation.
Heightened senses: The moon’s glow enhances night vision and amplifies sounds, smells, and touch sensations that can stoke the flames of passion.
Primal instincts: Our distant ancestors mated during full moons, and those instincts may still influence our behaviour today. The brightness allowed for extended activity into the night.
Circadian rhythm changes: The moon alters sleep-wake cycles, causing fluctuations in hormones like cortisol and melatonin that can temporarily boost libido.
Lower Desire Around the New Moon
In contrast, the new moon phase is linked to decreased arousal and less frequent sexual activity. Some possible explanations include:
- Melatonin surge: The new moon triggers a rise in melatonin, the sleep hormone, which can suppress libido and arousal.
- Hormonal changes: Shifts in estrogen, testosterone, and other hormones around the new moon may lead to a dip in sex drive for some.
- Mood changes: The new moon is associated with increased anxiety, stress, and irritability for certain individuals, which can negatively impact sexual desire and function.
Harnessing the Power of the Moon for Better Sex
The full moon may increasis fertility and libido in both men and women. Around the time of the full moon, testosterone levels peak in men, increasing arousal and the likelihood of spontaneous erections during sleep. In women, the full moon is linked to higher fertility, increasing the chances of conception.
