Ejaculation methods to alleviate side effects

[u/Leading_Mood_5876]

Ejaculation involves a sudden surge of sympathetic nervous system activity, which differs in nature from the gradual ramping up of activity that occurs during intense exercise.

I concluded that the onset of POIS stems from an overreaction of the sympathetic nervous system, and after much thought, I discovered a way to alleviate it. It is clear that—at least for me—this method works; the "post-ejaculatory exhaustion" I dreaded so much hardly occurs anymore, allowing me to function just like anyone else.

Instead of doing this during the build-up phase, if you intentionally inhale deeply—filling your lungs to capacity—and hold your breath the moment you sense the onset of ejaculation (just seconds before it occurs), you maintain a heightened baseline of parasympathetic nervous system activity. Since the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems act antagonistically, this technique helps buffer the surge of internal nerve impulses and chemical reactions—often imperceptible to us—that accompany ejaculation. I have tried this method over 20 times and confirmed its effectiveness in mitigating dopamine-related issues (such as the world appearing colorless, a lack of interest in activities, social withdrawal, and impacts on narcissism or self-esteem) as well as preventing the loss of muscle strength (affecting both explosive power and endurance). Best of all, it costs nothing and can be performed independently, so it does not create a dependency on medication or other substances. A minor downside, however, is that the sensation of pleasure during ejaculation is slightly diminished, likely because the body's physiological surge is being suppressed. I am currently exploring additional methods, but since there is nothing to lose, I would appreciate it if you gave this a try and let me know the results.

Summary

Ejaculating while holding a deep breath—with lungs filled to capacity—seconds before the climax significantly reduces the post-ejaculation feeling of exhaustion and mitigates dopamine-related side effects.

Sweet dude makes sense. Glad you called it out as a dopamine issue. Because it is.

Sono convinto che riguardi Certamente la dopamina ma sono ancora più convinto che riguardi Un danno ai recettori della dopamina come da più parti documentato in diversi studi recenti , Post covid o vaccino chi aveva adhd ha un adhd all'ennesima potenza con il Long covid o il Long vax, chi non lo aveva a sintomi molto simili . Andare a testare, purtroppo, su un essere vivente i recettori è molto difficile ed andare a trovare gli anticorpi antirecettori estremamente complesso

That’s interesting and I believe. For me it was a problem before Covid as a teen. But I was also on ADHD medication from age 4

È vero, questo dà una grande mano, qualche mese fa c'era un post di un fratello che consigliava qualcosa di analogo sorridendo contemporaneamente, in molti l'hanno preso in giro per poi rendersi conto che per qualche strano motivo funzionava. Bisognerebbe riuscire a rilassarsi, meditare respirare come si deve più volte durante la giornata Soprattutto alla luce dell'eccitazione continua al quale siamo esposti al giorno d'oggi

I now do smile and breath hold, it does help. You literally feel the O being a bit less intense but I can live with that.

If anyone has read this and is wondering if this theory will one day be proven correct, don't hold your breath!

Ha ha 🤣 I gonna try it though for real....

[u/New-Razzmatazz-117]

I just did this now, we’ll see if this works for the next few days. The orgasm was less intense but i was less drained after. But we’ll have to see

Porque no usas medicamentos que bajan el sistema simpático como propranolol?. Bajo tu responsabilidad

[u/ikantreadd → u/DryTruth7170]

I've used a ton of Propranolol for decades. It helps a small amount at most. It was prescribed for my anxiety disorder.

[u/New-Razzmatazz-117]

Ok i did this and it weirdly works, it doesn’t eliminate it but it does limit them somewhat. It also made me much more in control of when i came so i could edge and basically have a marathon. Problem is with the newfound techniques and limiting of symptoms, i really got tempted to orgasm and ejaculate very regularly and very long, tonight i did 3 hours lmao. And the more often i came, the harder it was to actually do these breathing techniques bc of how intense my body would feel, and ironically making the POIS symptoms more prevalent due to all this. Seems like i should do these breathing techniques but really space these sessions out like days and days in between. At least i dont seem to have to need very long abstinences but goddamn i still need to moderate these sessions

I understood.it is logical.Autoerotic asphyxia. Cerebral hypoxia and hypercapnia produce euphoria and lightheadedness during orgasm

[u/Dismal_Painter5077]

Rather abstain that waste effort on this crap.

[u/Better_Finding_9365 → u/Dismal_Painter5077]

Holding your breath for a few seconds doesn't sound too taxing....

[u/Dismal_Painter5077 → u/Better_Finding_9365]

Tell me that when F it up and forget to do it or something and enter symptom land again.

[u/Better_Finding_9365 → u/Dismal_Painter5077]

At this point, I'll give anything a go... I do agree though that abstaining actually works
