Halfway between ruined and full? Cutting off my contractions early
Normally I skip orgasms completely. The crash afterward, that heavy mood drop, total energy drain, and sudden loss of all interest, is just too brutal. That tiny bit of extra intensity you get at the very end simply isn’t worth it. Still, sometimes things slip and I end up going further than planned. While trying to reduce the damage on those occasions, I noticed something interesting: most of the nasty aftereffects seem to come from the later fading stage of the orgasm, once the peak sensations have already died down. So I started stopping early by counting my contractions. The first few are by far the strongest anyway, so by cutting things off after a limited number I still get around 70% of the total pleasure, but only a fraction of the usual post-orgasm hangover. I’m talking maybe just 10% of the normal crash, and my desire bounces back almost immediately. Five contractions feels like the sweet spot for me. I count them out, pull away all stimulation right at five, and then actively bear down and hold tight with my pelvic floor muscles. That seems to shut down any extra involuntary contractions that would normally follow. It usually stops things well before the halfway mark of a normal orgasm. You do need a pretty solid pelvic floor to hold it for around 15 seconds, so people trying this might have to train up for a few weeks first. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem to matter if I make those early contractions weaker or not — I can let them be as strong as they want with zero downside. Holding at five feels strange at first, but in a good way. It’s oddly satisfying, just in a completely different, less sharp kind of pleasure. Anyone else playing around with something like this, or am I the only one doing this weird experiment?
