Like it or not, intimacy and superstition can crawl into our lives and even into the bedroom. Many modern couples find skipping intimacy or making rules before large events
Because this extra passion brings more love and luck. But is it true?
Moustruck Moment
No matter how modern we become, certain traditions and superstitions always catch up with us. A common belief that many athletes, performers and even politicians have is that engaging in intimacy can drain energy and weaken one’s attention before big events happen. Intimacy is seen as a tool for distraction and pleasure. Many people swear that abstention can help them stay sharp and maintain peak performance at work. “Sometimes having this intimacy makes you miss your partner more, making you miss this intimacy more, making you miss their body more,” said Dr. Tanaya Narendra, a sexual health expert at Love Depot.
My bed
Red is a color of passion and deep desire, which evokes a sense of power, which is why many lingerie stores have red as a color to ignite intimacy. Many people believe that wearing red underwear or using red sheets can add to their love life. Although there is no scientific evidence to support this, many couples swear that the color creates a more enthusiastic atmosphere.
Feng Shui your freak
Feng Shui is a practice of energy coordination in China, which constitutes a specific rule of bedroom arrangement, and it is said that the bed should have solid walls to promote the stability of interpersonal relationships. However, keeping the bed in line with the door is said to bring negative energy and possible disruptions in your love life. It is believed that the chaos in the bedroom can cause chaos in a relationship, and the arranged space promotes intimacy and peace.
Mirror spell
One of the most famous bedroom superstitions is that the mirror facing the bed brings misfortune, restless sleep and even infidelity. There is a saying that reflects trap energy, and they invite unnecessary spirits. The supernatural aspect may play a role here, which prevents couples from keeping mirrors in their bedrooms. “When I was intimate with my partner, I simply didn’t want to look at the reflection in the mirror,” said Sanya Malhotra, a fashion designer in Mumbai. This discomfort, whether rooted in tradition or personal experience, is the reason why many couples avoid placing mirrors by their beds.
The moon’s synchronized lover
It is believed that the full moon is said to expand passion, romance and even fertility. Some cultures believe that keeping intimacy in line with the moon cycle can increase emotional connections to a deeper level. The couple even planned their intimate moments around the moon phase, believing that it would deepen their connection and strengthen their emotions. “Superstition gives people a sense of control over their relationship,” explains Dr. Meera Sharma, a psychologist specializing in couple therapy. “If wearing red or avoiding a mirror makes someone feel more confident and safe, it can work to some extent.”
Mysterious or meaningful
Leaving color and cosmic energy on the sides, many believe that straddling the legs in an intimate relationship will prevent the flow of performance
This can lead to disrupting intimacy, which can bother your emotional connection. It is said that putting shoes under the bed again can cause stress, arguments and turmoil in relationships.
Even so, Rose Quartz (also known as the Stone of Love) is often placed under a pillow or near a bed to promote harmony. It brings trust, healing and emotional bonds – bells and wind chimes are said to refresh the performance of the space and prevent stagnation.
Many followers of Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui avoid placing their heads to the north as it interferes with a quiet sleep and reduces romantic connections.
Dr. Tanaya Narendra added: “Most of these practices have no direct physical health effects, but mentally and emotionally,
They can make a difference. Rituals can take root in people and create common meaning. ”
Lucky charm
Ultimately, bedroom superstition is what you do with them. While science may not always support them, they add elements of tradition and conventionality. “If a certain belief or ritual brings joy to a couple and strengthens their bond, then embracing it will not be hurt,” said Neena Mehta, a psychotherapist.
Whether you light a special candle before going to bed, you can choose sheets based on the symbolic meaning of the color, or enjoy the mystery of the full moon, the superstition of the bedroom reminds us that love and connection go beyond logic – sometimes mysterious.
