    I just want to go on record to say



    I WOULD NEVER, EVER DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    Practicing mudras instead of just being honest with yourself and your partner about your needs? No way. I think this is terrible advice for someone who wants to try to build a functional long-term relationship with someone.

      In a context of 'trying to build a functional long term relationship' I'd agree with you. The story doesn't read - to me - like that's the context.

    -----"So far, it has given me some peace of mind."



    This is what is important about your particular solution. It WORKS.



    Might be temporary, and you will go with this yoga solution until it no longer works.



    Then you will craft another solution.



    Whether yoga, exercise, an affair, or other many and varied coping solutions (to include divorce), as Bazzar wisely pointed out, YOU are taking control.



    And that is the first step towards improving the overall quality of your life.

    The tactic of reclaiming your sexual persona in a sexless marriage is, in my opinion, a good thing to do. In that dynamic it amounts to counter refusing I guess (if you were actually being offered any) but more importantly, the no sex call is being made by YOU, and that is a powerful mindset to adopt. It is empowering, and one of the building blocks from which you challenge your thinking and start to work your way through the jungle.



    Whether you do it by will power, yoga, or just being totally hard nosed about it doesn't really matter. It starts to shift the dynamic because you are thinking and acting from a base of self determination.



    Again a personal opinion - but this tactic also sounds the death knell of the dysfunctional marriage. Which ain't necessarily such a bad thing.



    Tread your own path.

    When it came time to do the nasty, my ex-wife was a solid practitioner of savasana - "The Corpse Pose."
