Grounding is the idea of re-centering yourself during sex. If you often find your thoughts moving away from yourself or your partner in the bedroom, you may find it useful.
Studies have shown a cyclical link between feeling distracted during sex and issues having an orgasm, leading to more automatic distracting and negative thoughts. Questioning a partner's attraction, sexual failure, sexual control and passivity, and thoughts of a completely unerotic nature were among the most common. Breaking this cycle is the key to enjoying sex if you often find yourself drifting off, whether that's while masturbating or being intimate with a partner.
