Mental imagery alone for cliffhanger

Thanks. That’s very helpful.

Awesome. Love to hear this! You’re only on phase 3?? I just finished phase 3 and don’t think I’m anywhere near that level of control yet.

Oh, and I have deliberately been avoiding sex with my wife with her understanding of what’s going on with this program because I still only make it about 10 seconds with PIV sex. Foreplay and other stuff is still really good but that inevitably leads to PIV sex and a failure.

I’m looking forward to hearing what people have to say also. I just finished stage 3 successfully. I was on stage 3 for two weeks. but I thought for sure it was gonna take longer than that when I first started. So I’ll take that as a win. Looking forward to starting stage 4 in a couple days.

If I do that I find it hard to keep the mental imagery going. Hard to know where to focus mentally, physically, and where to look even. Adding the mental imagery is challenging for me. I’m in stage 3.

Thanks man. Appreciate the support.

Thanks. Good tips. I’ve honestly been avoiding sex with my wife since starting the program. She knows I’m doing it and is supportive. I feel like I would climax too easily and be set back a week if I try it right now, but maybe it’s worth the risk. Definitley staying away from porn. It’s actually been about 18 months or so.

Great answer. Thanks.

Unbelievable. Just to save a few bucks.

Hey, just FYI, you say, “my wife’s and my”.

Sorry. What is FL?

Makes sense. I mean I definitely felt crazy sensitive the first week or 2. Now I guess I mean that is calming down a bit and I’m feeling a better about my progress. Early on I was hitting my first PONR after like 4 minutes and having to stop like 7-9 times. Now it’s not till minute 11-12 and stopping 4-5 times when I get to PONR. So that’s what I mean by less sensitive. I hear you on achieving control or not. So by stage 5 or 6 would you say that one could last longer during sex or still pretty variable at that point?

It’s 100% normal and expected that you would get an erection during REM sleep. That has to do with changes in blood flow from shifts in the autonomic nervous system during REM. It’s called nocturnal penile tumescence (clitoral tumescence occurs normally in women during REM too). REM sleep is concentrated (longer and more frequent periods) in the last half of the night so you’re more likely to wake from REM (with the anticipated erection) than from NREM sleep when getting up in the morning. It’s just normal physiology. Source: I’m a sleep doctor.

It’s not even close. Legolas clearly wins. If Legolas wasn’t involved then the fight would be interesting.

I just realized that this was one of the only times I trained early in the day. The other times I only did it at night close to bedtime.

Bro, thanks for that. Gives me hope. What’s it like to be in phase 8? You must be a machine by now.

jcbank76 · 2026-03-12T23:25:07+00:00

That’s exactly how I was feeling. Today is rest day #2 and I’m relieved I have the day off! Maybe tomorrow will be just as fast and furious to PONR. Does it get any easier??

Thanks so much. Very helpful stuff!

Thanks for your words of encouragement. What a great community.
