Default [Adult] Masturbation as a tool for growth

Sorry for the title if i offend you, but i just discovered this thing by myself and i wanted to hear some of your opinions and experiences with this tool or idea...

The story is as follows: i studied some stuff about sex and mastubration several months/years ago (serious stuff, medical, not porn) and i found out about pc muscles, so i trained them to gain mastery of them, but, even before that i had those muscles very well trained because i had this bad habit when i was a child of not going to the bathroom to empty my urinary bladder, so i had trained those mucles since my childhood without even knowing it; now, the important thing here is there where some days when i masturbated when a really funny thing happened, after i masturbated i felt very energized, full with power, mentaly calm, and like floating on the clouds, it felt so awesome, and i had no idea why that happened, i asked myself "why do i feel this way?", it happened just a couple of times in my life, at least in that degree, but recently something like that happened to me again, i discovered that through long session of masturbation i can gain that sense again, and it feels great (i mean after it, as opposed to the short sessions when afterwards i feel tired), i feel condifent, calm, full of energy, and its great, i just wanted to share this with you, if you train your pc muscles and masturbate for say 1 hour, you can use it as a tool for personal growth.

I still dont understand why this happens, or how can i increase the effectiveness of this "technique", so if you have something to comment i would really appreciate it, thanks.

If you haven't already you might check out some of Mantak Chia's books such as "The Multi-Orgasmic Man". I'd practiced the techniques in his "Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy" several years ago and regularly got some version of what you described, so long as I didn't ejaculate. Working out the PC muscles via kegels is excellent for both men and women. Adding in breathing exercises or simply slowly down your breathing helps a lot as well.

You may also want to check out Jack Johnson (the psychologist not the singer!) who has a technique called the 'key sound' it involves using this sound to move sexual energy through the body and in particular into the heart chakra. Its very healing and it is also used for multiple male orgasm. Different to Chia's work because it doesn't involve the PC muscle, but instead works on relaxing the body's usual response to orgasm by 'rippling' the energy out through the body.

I'm sorry, I know that's not how you intended it, but still...

Anyway, to be serious, I'd suggest that to take the next step, you should investigate ways that you can achieve this mental state without using the masturbation. That way, you could even practice in public (without getting arrested.)

Interesting screen name.

Not that I think what you're doing is against Christianity, but many Christians do...probably some reading this thread.

Any chance that avoiding masturbation (i.e., cultivating the energy without releasing it) might have some benefit as well? Maybe you can learn to re-direct the energy?

*shrug*

I was going to say that too but then again Christian is a totally legitimate male name. As is Christina or Christine.* There are very many names that have come from religion so I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

It always amuses me when people want to take fun away from a good/beneficial thing.

*I meant those as female names of course...

My name is Christian and i am also a Christian, the thing is that there are many christian religions that belive very different things, some belive masturbation is wrong, some dont, i dont of course.

An update: the time you spend doing it isnt important, but you must do something special to trigger the effect, i thought at first that i just had to do it for a long time, but this time i dont feel any special effect afterwards, it fells great but not as awesome as i decribed before, i guess ill have to look for those books you people have recommended, any chance that i cat get that info for free on the net? that would be great... or could you explain shortly how to do it?.

Matthew: what i experienced is not only a mental state, its a whole bodily thing, i can even smell things differently, its amazing... hard to describe, but you really feel great, powerfull, relaxed... i wish i knew how to do it.

The David: without masturbation?, im not really sure, the only thing i know is that it allways happened after masturbation.

Try interlibrary book loan if you're in the US (getting specific book details off amazon.com). If nothing else it'd be worth it just for the look on the librarian's face Who knows, maybe you'll get a cute and adventurous librarian in the mix ...

You could also google such as terms as ejaculation control and male multiple orgasm. This site pops up both times:

"Learning how to lengthen the arousal and erection period while delaying orgasm is an important part of maximizing enjoyment from sex. As the erection proceeds, the physical sensations become increasingly more and more exciting, and the psychological pressure to ejaculate becomes more and more intense. It is essential to learn how to keep the stimulation just below the level required for ejaculation, while learning to deal with the increasing psychological pressure to ejaculate. The psychological pleasure becomes more and more intense, the longer the arousal can be maintained without ejaculation, but the greater the enjoyment for the man. Developing these skills and dealing with the psychological desire to ejaculate for as long as possible requires practice. Women usually require a somewhat longer period of time to become fully aroused, so being able to delay orgasm potentially increases the enjoyment of sex by both partners."

1 hour masterbating? WOW...that's impressive.

I am confused on how the experiences you have after masterbating have anything to do with developed pc muscles? Does this allow you to go a longer period of time masterbating? I am wondering because I have really developed pc muscles, but have never had an experience similar to what you are describing. Perhaps it is different in males and females?

If masturbation was an effective tool for growth, I would have been a genius millionaire at the age fourteen...

Coleflowers, r u female? (males and females work different, so yes its different, check out the links given above), developed pc muscles allow us to last longer by making us able to control and impede ejaculation, and it also makes our orgasms more and more intense and strong, wich is all nice, but, the thing i described lasted for a couple of days, wich was very unusual from the common sexual release one feels after masturbation, the thing is that the time you spend is not important, but as openeyes as said, it seems that you must be multiorgasmic to achieve that, i still have to try it though, i didnt have time to do it today...yet

Yes, I'm female.

Having developed pc muscles is important for females (childbirth, bladder control, increased pleasure in sex, etc.). Thanks for explaining what it does for males to have developed those muscles.

Also, as a person capable of having multiple orgasms, I have never had the feelings you expressed following said orgasms.

Have you ever had this experience following partner sex? Personal development can be an aspect of two people having sex, so I would assume that masturbation would also be an aspect of pd.

No problem its also good for harder erections and a slight increase in size, it also has a funny side effect, if we have really well developed pc muscles we can literally move our organ (because contracting the muscles pump blood very rapidly to it).

Also, i think that it helps to decrease the refractory period dramatically, so even if you ejaculate you can go on and on without loosing desire...

I didnt try with with a parter, im sure it would be a lot better though.

I tried to do it once again today, and i got to reach a couple of "waves", i didnt last long enough (to have a really poewrfull multiorgasm at least), maybe 4 or 5 times (maybe because i had a few normals orgasms before it), it was incredible, fiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!, i feel veeery happy now and i cant avoid to smile (my skin feels very soft too, mhh), i think the more waves you ride, the powerfull the effect, i have to practice more, but it was quite nice, i got to admit though, that i tried to consciously do it before but i never quite understood how to do it, now that i reviewed it again and i understand it, i would never ever go back!, you should really try it!!!!.

Indeed. Though I often take breaks from having intercourse (in part to avoid pregnancy/STDs, but also because I've found that few women can please me as well as I or another man can), since studying Taoist techniques ~8 years ago I've used it a number of times with others. The most obvious benefit is that premature ejaculation is a non-issue: you can essentially go as long as you want, not having to worry about wearing out before your partner has a chance to be satisfied.

Sex can be measured in hours rather than minutes if you like. Men are often inclined to fall asleep or stop once they ejaculate. Desire fades. In this case sex really does become energizing rather than draining. Just be sure to mix things up a bit rather than doing 4 hours of constant thrusting (one's partner may not enjoy such an experience very much, no matter how much lubrication is used).

With the particular method I studied, PC exercises and breath control were just the basic techniques. For someone open to esoteric exercises energy circulation is also taught (and this is the part where it gets into spiritual cultivation). Rather than just dealing with multiple orgasms, instruction is given on expanding the orgasm to encompass the whole body. One can just scratch the surface of the method and be quite happy with it, while it's possible to go much deeper than I've bothered to so far.

I'm familiar with the energetic effect from a non-consummated orgasm, if you will.

I've learned to do it, and I've learned to harness it with only thoughts.

Just turn yourself on (not hard for guys to do if they have good imaginations).

Now, send all your consciousness down south.

Spend as long as needed just building up what would seem to be lust.

Once you have decided to stop, visualize all that hot blood going out all over the rest of your body, as if it were a second heart.

And you'll discover that your entire Self is invigorated.

I did this before taking the SAT, and got in the 95th percentile, at least.

oops, thanks Shamou and Gordon for your insightfulness, I think I have fixed that link problem.

Perhaps try Sexercise now and see if it works for you.

Cheers,
John

Nice article

I did some more research on orgasms and i have also been experimenting, i also tried to do it without touching myself, it seems that thats what has to be done as Xeutonmojukai said, and i also belive that this is exactly what i did years ago without rea
