Hi Guys,
As you know I'm an advocate for mindful masturbation, so why is it that ejaculation can sometimes leave us feeling apathetic, lethargic and downright grumpy?
Okay, you might have heard of the 'refractory period' - that little bit of time a guy needs after he's just shot his load and before he can get enough steam in his schlong to go again, but this post is not about that.
No, biology and physiology aside, this post suggests that that lingering, odd feeling we guys can get is more to do with
how we come about that ejaculation.
(Which reminds me of another post I need to write about the different levels of orgasm...)
For those of you who have read my new book,
"W@nker!": a practical guide for men to enhanced erotic practice and superior pleasure", you will know that I talk about Embodiment a lot.
Embodiment is the process of becoming aware of and inhabiting with our whole body, our immediate experience (in this case, sexual, sensual and intensely erotic).
I believe that ejaculation carries with it whatever we are experiencing inside us at that moment in time. We, literally, fire-out into the world our creative potential. So, if we are embodied and present in our erotic, sexual and sensual experience, then any kind of ejaculation from this point will affirm us as worthy, embodied, present and erotic beings. Which will automatically be carried on into whatever is 'birthed' from it.
But...
If we are jerking off and ejaculating as the culmination of a 'passive wank', then we are most likely NOT embodying our experience, and will instead affirm ourselves as disembodied, absent, and probably guilt- and shame-filled human beings. Not the most pleasant of things, if you ask me.
So...
What is that odd feeling we can carry with us? It's whatever we were experiencing - secretly or not - at the moment of our release. The good advice is: with a small shift in attitude and practice, you can choose what experience you want.
For more info on 'passive wanking' and how to affirm yourself with/without ejaculation, I will, of course, recommend my
book :-)
Best practice to you, guys.
