Here's what happens in a man's mind about eight seconds before you ejaculate. So you're going along, you're having sex or masturbating, whatever, and then you start feeling a little bit close, and you go, I'm not going to ejaculate. And then about eight seconds before, something happens in your internal operating system. And then it convinces you that it's a really good idea. And it, like, flips a switch, and all of a sudden you do it. And then afterwards you're saying, God, why did I do that? It's the same thing if I put a plate of cookies in front of you and they sit there all day. Eventually you're going to eat half cookie, and you're gonna say, damn it, why did I eat the cookie? I said I wasn't gonna eat the cookie. It's the same thing. It's your operating system in the body keeping you alive as if your conscious brain wasn't in there. That's what makes you flinch and react. It's what makes you eat all of the ice cream. It's what makes you ejaculate or go on the date that you know you shouldn't go on. These are primordial drives, and your job is to channel them. And what happens when you have fewer ejaculations is that your motivation is higher, your testosterone is higher, your prolactin is lower. And since you're going to have sex, sex becomes about pleasure, and it becomes about your partner's pleasure during that time. With appropriate breath work and appropriate moving of energy in the body, you can have a very visionary, very transformative experience. Like this is one of the paths to an altered state similar to breath work or psychedelics or drumming and things like that.
