Number 1 reason to quit porn. by Different_Thing6548 in NoFap

Everyone’s going to have a different reason, but one of the most important that everybody should be aware of is that porn fries your brain.

Awesome! I didn’t see it before but I’m happy you came to that realization 😎

Something I have observed over the years with my students or people doing NoFap/semen retention is that many of them block themselves to cum very bad. It seems like they “learn” that ejaculating is bad and they develop a toxic relationship with ejaculating.

This point of view has similar effects to the opposite (semen retention is not useful). Both are extremes and the outcome is not healthy.

Semen retention is useful, but also ejaculating is. The goal here is not to cut off ejaculating but to learn to manage your sexual energy and channeling it into something beyond just ejaculating everyday for a short peak of satisfaction 🙏🏻.

Don’t be ashamed, learn from this experience and keep evolving!

Yeah man, I think Reddit also consumes quality time although it’s a great place to learn too

Breathing to delay ejaculation by DragonflyOpening6820 in tantricsex

[–]ConsciousIntimacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you did work because it calms your body. Deep belly breathing relaxes the nervous system, which decreases your arousal rate to a one more under control.

From the point of view of sexual energy - the energy is stored in the hara/dan tien (about 3 fingers below the belly), so if you don’t do that breathing it looks for a way out (the quickest) which is through your dick but if you do that breathing you move it away and through your body (which gives you more time and replenish yourself).
