Sexual IQ: 3 Steps to Freedom & The MriyaRun Connection

Intelligence in the bedroom? It might sound like a strange concept. We train our brains for careers and our bodies for health (like hitting the track with MriyaRun). But do we train our sensuality? University of Massachusetts professors Sheree Conrad and Michael Milburn assert that sexuality is a skill—one that can, and should, be learned.

Sexual Intelligence (Sexual IQ) isn't about acrobatics. It is rooted in Emotional Literacy. It is the ability to recognize your true desires, separate them from cultural myths, and build a profound connection with a partner.

How does this connect with MriyaRun? It’s simple: we run towards the "dream" (Mriya) of a better self. A truly harmonious person is fulfilled not just on the running track, but in the bedroom too. Here are three steps to liberation.

Pop culture has conditioned us to believe sex must be effortless, spontaneous, and perfect every single time. This is a trap.

“Until you identify these myths, you cannot be free of them,” the psychologists state. Sexual IQ starts with embracing reality. Just like in sports, there are peak performances and recovery days. Understanding this removes anxiety.

This is the core. A sexually intelligent person asks: “Why do I want sex right now?” Is it genuine desire, or is it a substitute for emotional needs like validation, power, or fear of loneliness? This is where Emotional Literacy, a pillar of MriyaRun, comes into play. When you run, you learn to listen to your breath and heartbeat. In sex, you must learn to listen to your emotions without judgment. Observe your true triggers, shed the taboos of your past, and embrace your individuality.

Thriving sexuality cannot exist in silence. The idea that "problems shouldn't be spoken about" prevents true intimacy. Being sexually intelligent means being honest with yourself and your partner. It requires the vulnerability to say what you need and the empathy to listen.

MriyaRun is about forward movement. Let this movement happen in your mind as well. By developing your body through running and your spirit through emotional literacy, you unlock a source of immense passion. This knowledge empowers you to make the right choices and feel truly comfortable in your own skin.
