Cheeva, thank you for your wonderful posts!
While it is still early days for me, by using your techniques I believe I was able to balloon last night, and this morning I woke up with my hardest morning wood for years. Good feelings all around!
Yesterday morning I tried your spreading exercise and refrained from ejaculation. For the rest of the day, my flaccid felt fuller. I did ejaculate last night, but after waking up with my best morning wood for a long time, I was very motivated to do the spreading/no ejaculation exercise again this morning.
I started PE 1-2 months ago and my EQ has been improving, but this was a big jump for me.
I only recently joined Thunders, and while PE is my main focus, it has been interesting to discover these discussions by you and others (especially kingpole, kazzoplayer, avocent8, Mr Happy, Werner .. I am sure I have missed someone).
I guess I was a believer in what you guys have been discussing because at times in my life I have felt, but to a lesser degree and with much less control, what you have been describing. My problem was that I could never replicate the feelings/sessions. I knew it felt great, but I couldn’t do it on demand.
My first taste was around three years ago. I was watching an erotic/non-porn movie and masturbating. I wanted to get to the end of the movie, so I slowed things down. It felt better and better .. Mini orgasms .. And when I finally ejaculated, it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Full body heat and tingling throughout, especially in my legs/feet and toes. For about an hour after, I could clench my groin and feel very pleasant tingling/electric contractions in my feet and toes and up my legs. The next day when thinking about what happened, I could still feel “echoes” of it.
I seriously wondered at the time (I was 35) whether I had just had my first real orgasm. As you could imagine, I went looking for those orgasms again. I had mixed success, sometimes I got there (mostly through trying to control my breathing), but most times the cycles took longer, and the final ejaculation was weak and non-satisfying. At the time, I reasoned that I was having two types of orgasm. Multiple “female orgasms” which felt amazing but had no release and a “male orgasm” which didn’t have the whole body/tingles, but a good release at the end.
As time went on, I found that going for the “female orgasm” was tiring me out and draining me the next day.
In hindsight, with the reading I have been doing here at Thunders, I am now re-evaluating my experiences. I think what I was mostly doing was going too close to the edge and having retrograde ejaculations. This was why my cycles were getting too long and I was having weak ejaculations at the end. The fewer times I didn’t get as close to the edge, I had multiple dry orgasms, and everything came together sweetly.
As far as ballooning goes, this is something else that rang a bell with me. A feeling similar to what is described in some of the ballooning threads posts happened to me a few times (it took a lot of reading of those threads before I realised this). Each time I was sitting on a reclinable chair at a computer desk reading a good erotic story. At the time, I thought it was just because the stories were good :) But, what I realise now is that I was actually pressing down on the balls of my feet and kind of rocking the bottom of my pelvis up and out. Without thinking or knowing about it, I was doing combinations of Cheeva’s “Super Pulling Kegel” and “Super Reverse Kegel”. What I remember more was that my penis felt like it had extended further out from my body than ever before, at a higher angle, and felt extremely full (especially at the top of the “newly extended” base, which I was naturally rubbing). It also felt very non-fragile, like I was in no danger of losing it. This feeling of fullness persisted after I ejaculated for much longer than usual.
I didn’t get the opportunity to do that often, and while the feeling of a very full penis was nice, it wasn’t something that I went after at the time. However now that my focus is on PE, this is something that I want to try and do more often.
All that brings me up to yesterday. Yesterday I applied some of the exercises and I was much more aware of what my PC/BC/perineum/anus and tailbone? Areas were doing. I experimented with different contractions/relaxations along with my breathing. Towards the PONR, I also put a finger on my perineum to try and notice what was going on. The difference was like night and day. While I was not able to achieve the kind of intense feelings I had stumbled into in the past, for the first time I felt like I had some control over where I was going and I can see that with the awareness, I could grasp onto some control, and I could go a lot further.
What surprised me the most was all the contractions/relaxations that I must have been doing subconsciously for years. It was like a symphony of movement down there .. Now it has a conductor (in training)!
Thanks everyone!
