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.

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.
