Recently i have been investigating issues relating to ejaculatory anhedonia, orgasm, dopamine, antidepressants, etc. I'm on Wellbutrin currently
Ive been trying to masturbate differently lately, Normally when i masturbate i just watch some porn, get an erection very quickly, then just edge for a couple minutes until i ejaculate. Usually i like to feel like i am in total control and I decide exactly when i am going to ejaculate. I feel minimal pleasure, but it takes my mind off sex for a while and then of course POiS tend to kick in within hours or the next day when i wake up i am tired, fatigued, stuffy nose, poor sleep, etc etc.....
But lately i have been trying the following:
Relax the body completely, Relax the PC muscle. Begin to stroke to get an erection. When i feel the sensation of having to urinate, just act like it is OK to urinate and let go. When i do this, i dont actually end up urinating because the valve in the penis is of course switched in the other direction. Anyways i keep stroking and keep the PC muscle completely relaxed. I make sure not to tense up. When i do all of this it feels like there is more buildup and it takes much longer to reach climax. I never know exactly when climax will approach but when it does, it almost feels like i have to urinate and I tell myself it is OK to let go. I try very hard to not tense up through climax although the penis wants to tense up very much on its own, Then i climax and ejaculate. It feels more like i pulled the ejaculation out of myself rather than normally when i feel in control and decide when to "give it up". This reminds me of how i used to masturbate when i was younger. before i suffered from POIS. So it brings back good memories for me, as if i have unlocked the long forgotten way to ejaculate normally.
I believe this different way of ejaculating/orgasming must have some kind of different effect on the body and brain. I was able to ejaculate about 5 or 6 times yesterday within a 24 hour period (more than i can remember doing in a long time!) and yet I was still very functional and feeling OK today getting my work done and not feeling exhausted. I do feel a bit sexually exhausted but aside from that i have normal appetite, normal sleep, normal energy, etc. I dont feel as sick as i would have expected.
I will comtinue to experiment....
Please advise what you guys think...
