I’ve been doing some of the things in Cheeva’s first post and here is my experience:
Learning to relax the BC (or is it PC, or IC, or whatever…) is THE CRITICAL ELEMENT in delaying ejaculation. It is SO reflexive for me to have that muscle (I will call it the BC even though I’m not sure if that is scientifically accurate) contract upon stimulation of the penis (especially when stimulating myself just under the glans).
Actively relaxing the body while stroking myself, taking deep breathes and focusing on relaxing what feels like all the muscles in and around my penis (anus, BC/PC, etc) keeps the level of arousal low (meaning I don’t feel like orgasm is imminent even though the erection is strong).
Also, I’ve been experimenting with reverse kegels in the middle of stimulation with pretty cool results! I’ve noticed that as I am stroking, if I try to “push my anus out” as if I am taking a dump or trying to increase to force of urine when peeing, this tends to relax the muscles that clamp down on the penis during orgasm and seems to delay the PONR feeling!
The key seems to be relaxing the right pelvic floor muscles AND “pushing out” fairly hard (distending the anus).
For me, the above is VERY promising. I feel like with more practice and gaining a better “mind muscle connection” with these pelvic floor muscles (especially the ones responsible for the reverse kegelling), I will be able to continue thrusting in those hot and heavy moments of sex (where I usually get pushed over the PONR) and prolong the sexing.
I’d love to hear CHEEVA’s thoughts about these “reverse kegels” or whatever you call the “move” that relaxes the grip of the muscles around the base of the penis (and when done properly seems to fill the head of the penis with more blood.) Sometimes when I try to “reverse kegel” the head balloons up, and other times it does not….to me this indicates that I still haven’t mastered relaxing the appropriate muscles in that moment.
CHEEVA, would you say that this forced relaxation (reverse kegelling) could be used during sex as the PONR is approaching to delay orgasm?
This post addresses the mechanical issues of mastering dick control, and I’m hopeful that mastering the mental relaxation in concert with the mechanical side of things will soon allow for true “dick mastery”!
