Rewiring: How to resist the urge to touch myself?

What works for me is embracing the lack of "completion" as a kink of its own. I'm not usually into denial or anything, but I can roll with it if I try. See it as a positive. Something you're adding on, rather than not taking off.

If the session is getting to the point where you need to masturbate to sustain it, you should pause and realize some aspect of the session is over, and it's time to call it quits.

Get out of bed asap as soon as you are done and go and do something else...

The next session will be even greater and you will start to be able to Aless....

Honestly the first 2 days can be hard but after day 3 you see all the results / aless popping up that you no longer want to cum.

Yup, I had that and still do.  It’s like the Stanford marshmallow experiment, at least for those of us sensitive to semen retention (most of us, I think). Either you have some pleasure now, or exponential pleasure later. Sometimes I go for it, sometimes I don’t. I never feel bad either way, and if I am saving up for a big day (a pre-planned sex party, solo or with my lady), then I have no problem holding off from ejaculating at the end of à session. If you find it to truly be a problem, I second what @jiji2000 says. Once I get up and do something else, I lose the urge to masturbate (unless it is reallllly urging, and in that case I listen to my body).

Hey all - Been practicing now for around a year, enjoying the journey a lot 🙂 I had a question. In general when my sessions go SUPER well, I get to a point where I feel like I just HAVE to masterbate and ejaculate. I am wondering, did you guys have this part when you were rewiring? If so, how did you get around it? I try not to judge my sessions and if I want to end them that way, then that's okay 🙂 But sometimes I want to keep going but fall into this bad habit and thought i'd ask for advice

Try this:

Amazon.com: Happygo Male Chastity Device Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel Cock Cage Penis Ring M Size Virginity Lock Chastity Belt Adult Game Sex Toy (1.77 inch/ 4.5cm) : Health & Household.

I  always wear a chastity cage when having a session.  It shifts all of the focus to your anus and rectum and prostate. It takes your dick out of the eqaution. The cage in the above link is inexpensive, well made and is comfortable for long term wear. I've worn it 24/7 for as long as two week, only removing it long enough to shower and dry and immediately putting it back on.  Just make sure that you select the proper size base ring. I fell naked when I'm not wearing the cage.

I understand that temptation and must confess that early on I fell victim to it as well, going for a Super-T does have its own rewards. However, as @jiji2000 noted, disciplining yourself to hold off may have an even greater reward in a separate A-less session where you actually plan for that release and don't undo/setback any rewiring your regular Anerosessions have taught you. This does take some self discipline and willingness to forego the immediate pleasure for enhanced pleasure at a later time. If you can do that you'll be fine.

On the other hand, if you still feel the temptation is too enticing then using a chastity cage as suggested by @Studmouse47 can be a fun, kinky, deterrent to play with as well. It may also help in the general arousal arena preparing you for future Anerosessions. A little self enforced abstinence can go a long way (please see Aneros, Arousal & Abstinence/Semen Retention).

Good Vibes to You!

WOW thank you all for such amazing suggestions! I am planning to have a few sessions this week (rest of the week off) and will incorporate this advice. The very few times I have abstained, I know what your saying to be true - even the shower afterwards was filled with pleasure. I might try the chastity cage out because I just love trying new things, it is my ultimate kink 😀

If you get a chance... try a session if you can using THC... edibles are best as it's a long body high.

I try and have one thc session and week and it's night and day between sober and high..  maybe 20-30x the pleasure.

That's my take on it, too, but maybe I take things a little bit further when I think about discipline. When you get the urge, just don't do it ! What's on the other side ? Super-Os ! Do you want this to happen ? If you want it bad enough, then you need to rise up to the challenge and resist touching yourself. The reward is much better than the energy it will take to resist.

 It’s like the Stanford marshmallow experiment [...]

First time I read too quick and just saw Stanford Experiment, and I was like :  "Nooooooo !" But then, I saw it was the marshmallow one, not the prison one... Great point here, you put a little effort  in, you get a big reward out. A Super-T is better than a marshmallow, so it's harder to resist, but on the other hand, a Super-O is much better than 2 Super-Ts...

"The aneros forum prison experiment". I'm not sure what form this could take, but it sounds incredible.

It’s a simple matter of discipline and conditioning. I’m down to 1-2 ejaculations per month. That’s staying for the foreseeable future unless wife changes things up. In all honesty,it suits me now. I’d far rather have orgasms without ejaculations,as they are for breeding,and I’ve done my bid,I just want pleasure now and as many o’s as I can manage. There was a time the prostate orgasm was a treat. It’s the other way around now and ejaculations are much more special when they cum around.

If you aren’t super-o’ing yet,I can’t recall,jacking off might be holding you back.

Isn't putting oneself in a chastity cage for Aneros arousal enhancement such an experiment?

Good Vibes to You!

@rumel Although I'm new at training with my Progasm Black Ice, I always wear a chastity cage for my Aneros sessions, and find it incredibly helpful, sexy, and arousing.

It took me 12 years to achieve a super-o. I have no way to know, but had I listened to the advice I found at the time, I would have probably found my orgasmic feet much sooner. I had no discipline. When I acquired my first Aneros (MGX) and slipped it in, a nearly cartoonish vision of smoke blowing out my ears and eyes popping out on springs came over me. It felt great! It was instantly arousing. I had never experienced that sensation in my life, and this device was perfectly shaped to contact what it needed to contact. 

I didn't slip right into superO or anything,  but it felt good, and just as predicted in the literature at the time, my penis immediately became harder and more sensitive than ever and dripping out the evidence that the device was doing what it was designed to do. Since this [mythical to me at the time] superO didn't happen right away, I took matters into my own hands, of course. That alone was so intense, I think I must have been satisfied that it was enough. The advice I remember reading suggested to pull the device out and finish off if you must, but we all know how that goes. 

When something finally clicked, I "worked out" hard with kegels and breathing, and relaxing. I guess the stars lined up in my world, because at this point, I saw serious evidence that there was a lot more on the other side of the mountain. A WHOLE LOT more. This lead me to discipline myself. That decision, and it was a DECISION, allowed me to grow quickly and recognize other glorious sensations. 

I eventually came to the position that it is disappointing to need to go to penile stimulation and wanting to ejaculate. It sounds crazy, but the waves of pleasure that come from Aneros device gliding back and forth a quarter, maybe half an inch, cycle after cycle is a priceless feeling. 

Now, while I've never played with chastity, I think there could well be a connection with the penis being pointed down that generates a different contact pressure and could speed up the process. I have thought that when I get pinned down by covers or clothing. I always have to re-adjust to point "up" for comfort,  there is a point when an erection is growing that the downward penis angle does something amazing. 

@regal13 Thank you for sharing your experiences. It makes me realize I need to put in more time and effort with my training sessions.

When i first started i used nipple rubbing to get aroused and it has helped me intensify my sessions and keep my hands away from the lower regions.

Wife and I are into edging and denial. It was less about practice and more about changing our frame of mind. We'll both regularly edge several times and only cum about one or twice a week. We found that we enjoyed the journey more than the destination. But you still want to arrive at your destination once in a while.
