My routine

I just wanted to know your opinions about my routine. So here it goes:

- 5min Hot water pumping at low pressure (Bathmate Hydro 7), until I get about 105% erection. (Warm up);
- 4-5min Jelqing with moderate pressure switching hands every few seconds while the other hands pulls on the skin from the balls to avoid turkey neck. At the end I make sure to force some blood to the head and make a few shaft compressions. (I started with 20 jelqs, then 40, but it felt too little, my dick can definitely handle more since I’ve been edging for years sometimes with cock ring, before knowing about PE);
- 8-10min Hot water pumping again, 1 to 2 sets, going by feel. More pressure this time, trying to not overdo it of course;
- 15-20min cock ring use after pumping;
- Every other day is rest day, sometimes I do some Edging.

That’s it. I will incorporate manual stretching after about 2 weeks of this routine. I do massage my dick before and after doing the routine.
I want to add that I start jelqing with no erection and then I get to about 60% maybe while doing it, I find it hard to keep my hard on during the exercise without stimulation, I also refuse to watch porn again with the exception for learning purposes.

Lastly I want to ask about something weird that has happened to me. All my life I jerk off to porn, but I could do it without porn. Never had a GF, now that I do have a GF it seems as my dick mostly works for her, I get crazy libido and boners, but alone at home it doesn’t seem to want much lol. Has this happened to anyone?

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I’ve experienced similar.

I’m not sure if it’s more related to aging or maturity or just different priorities when it comes to sex, but IMO it is pretty typical for a young man to transition away from the porn/fap learning phase and into real women - and I think erection frequency/timing changes along with it. If a young guy is just sitting in his mom’s basement all day near the computer where he does the dirty, he may get random chubs he goes and rubs out whenever the mood strikes. But in adult life I think it’s definitely normal for this kind of thing to change and erections mostly get saved for real life sexual encounters.

You definitely still want morning wood. This is widely discussed as possibly the best indicator of testosterone levels and general EQ health.

But yeah, totally, my erections mostly wait on the misses, and I’m not super bothered by random chubs, and I have no inclination to try to rub one out because that’s what the pretty lady is for, so..
Sounds normal to me man.

I sort of look at it as “I’m saving it all for her”. You can look into semen retention and all the energetic, EQ, and health benefits that come from it. But whether you retain semen during sex or not, I’d recommend to anyone to definitely save up all your semen for actual sex, and never waste it on masturbation. Save your juice (“Jing” - essential essence in limited quantity), energy, and desire for real partners. Good policy in my book.

If you (or anyone else) are interested in learning about semen retention, as an aside, I recommend books by Mantak Chia. He teaches the Microcosmic Orbit technique, which is necessary if you plan to save up a bunch of power. You need to be able to properly contain and store that power (in the Hara/Will Center), or it can make you frantic/anxious/frustrated/chaotic/etc. The MO technique solves this.

Glad to know I’m not alone on that. All my friends seem to still watch porn when dating chicks, I lose interest myself. I also don’t think it’s good for the mind

I think you’re right on that. Seems to affect EQ for sure. And it can certainly create performance anxiety.

I find it mixes up the signals somehow. Won’t have great EQ, somehow the act of sex isn’t enough. But thinking of a favorite XXX scene can somehow boost the EQ when nothing else did.

Not good. Addictive for sure.

Yeah, I’m glad I took porn out of my life. I used to wet dream about porn instead of actual sex, it’s ridiculous, but It was all I knew back then too. Still use it for educational purposes though
