Being 3+ months no orgasm i can notice a drastic difference in my mind set aswell. My focus is heightened and i have so much more energy to do productive things :D , im hoping that Karezza and bonding exercises will strengthen this new stored energy and not drain it... Time will tell
Indeed. It has not been as long for me, but I notice that by holding onto sexual energy, it can be used for other things. Kind of like, instead of the energy trying to go and make a child, instead your works and your expression become your "children". I notice better social skills, more interest in others, a "more testosterone" feeling. It's easier to handle stress and also easier to focus (I've finally started just getting down and doing my uni work properly).
This might be described by G as a "misuse of sex". However, I think that times are a little different now.
It is sometimes very difficult when your brain seeks urgent stress relief and there's an obvious deep pathway to follow: that of orgasm by any means. Whether it's the thrilling dopamine spike of an encounter, or just beating off in front of a laptop. But undoing this is simply another brain training exercise - basically the core of what we do here.
My current idea about it is that we gradually accumulate sexual energy. Some are wayy more depleted than others. So a healthy person with a healthy upbringing would be able to have orgasmic sex quite often and not destroy their energy levels, although they would experience the coolidge effect with their partner.
However, for people who have been masturbating (especially using porn) and sexually active from a young age - we are more depleted. We need to hold onto the energy for longer and use it to regain more healthy "sex pathways". Using that creative energy within can help our minds and bodies heal in ways that science has not explored, and from what I've learned so far this includes healing mental disorders and other stress-induced illness of the body.

Hello everyone. recently saw this video on SOTT in Spanish where actor Russell Brand talks about porn and how it blocks certain aspects of our daily lives producing some personal problems

This is easily one of his best videos! Society around us is trying to bring us back to the most animalistic of levels - that of domination based sex, alpha male and submissive female. The more dicey or risky, the more domination and the more outlandish, in order to satiate peoples desensitised reward circuitry.
As love and social connection continue to decline in this ponerized, weirdo western society, we can only expect to see an increase in excess and general silliness as people try to grab onto anything that makes them feel better.
