Semen Retention Journal: Preface

 

I've always enjoyed edging, even as a young man. Back in the day, I would save my load for 4-5 days before finally releasing it. There's something incredibly arousing and satisfying about seeing a substantial, hefty load after such anticipation.

Now, as a man in my late 40s, I don't think I've become any less sexually adventurous, although my focus has certainly evolved. In my early 30s, I bought my first prostate toy and fell in love with it. It took me a few sessions to get used to it, but once I discovered the magic of prostate pleasure, self-pleasure transformed from a goal-oriented activity into a rich, exploratory journey. Over the last 10 years, I've enjoyed edging my prostate for hours, sometimes as long as 4-5 hours. This practice not only indulges me in self-love, relaxation, and stress relief, but it also provides some of the most intense pleasure I've ever experienced as a man.

I would put on my favorite porn, don whatever gear gets me in the mood, and once ready, insert my prostate toy and fully immerse myself in the experience. My sessions typically involve a lot of nipple play, with minimal focus on my penis. However, with the combination of visual and physical stimulation, my prostate begins to emit the most electrifying sensations from within. My penis would tremble, leaking copious amounts of pre-cum in a process known as milking. Sometimes, the incredible sensations become so intense that it feels like an unending internal orgasm.

The idea of edging is perhaps somewhat of a kinky concept: denying yourself pleasure as a way of rewarding yourself later. For me, kink has always been a cerebral experience. While I certainly enjoy the visceral aspects of kink, what truly elevates my self-pleasure is understanding how to integrate the art of edging with my kink practices. This combination creates a deeper, more nuanced experience that goes beyond mere physical stimulation, engaging both mind and body in a profound way.

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a YouTube video about "Semen Retention." Apparently, this practice has been embraced by Eastern cultures for thousands of years. I won't delve too much into the details, as there's extensive research on the subject. Essentially, it involves refraining from ejaculation, which can bring various health benefits. In the video, a sexual coach shared his experiences of engaging in prolonged, almost tantric-like sex with his partner for hours without ejaculating. I found myself deeply intrigued. The concept wasn't entirely new to me; after all, I had already been indulging in edging sessions for hours— the only difference being the decision not to ejaculate at the end. As I mentioned earlier, the idea of incorporating elements of kink into my edging sessions has always appealed to me. The thought of edging for hours without climaxing sounds incredibly arousing.
