>Nothing incredible yet, but last night it picked up quite a bit. If before I was 20% of the way there, then last night I got to 60 or 70%. Not that I can really have any idea of what's ahead, nor do I think I should attempt to be so technical about it as to assign numbers to gauge progress, especially when I don't really know where the "end" is. I'm just trying to give an idea of the improvement over past sessions.<

Yes you're right to be wary of trying to measure progress on a percentage scale because, as you rightly say, you cannot know what lies ahead. I, in the course of my practice, have, several times declared to myself "..they just cannot come better than that last one!" - notionally awarding the event a value of 10 on the scale of orgasmic intensity. But this hasn't worked because I've had to reset the scale so many times to acommodate even higher-level subsequent events. If your instinct tells you that you might already be somewhere in the region of 60% on your scale of progress I suggest you make yourself prepared to experience very substantially higher levels of outcome as your practice progresses. Expect the unexpected!

My belief is that a logarithmic scale of comparison of orgasmic intensities would be more realistic and useful than a linear one if it ever becomes possible to measure such. Very recently, experiencing an extraordinary series of heartgasms, I seem to have passed through yet another gate and I reckon that I'm not deluding myself in feeling that suddenly I've just been given a ramp up in my performance of at least double (even after three years of practice).

>......Anyway, the feelings last night started to remind me of the rope orgasm, though they were not nearly to that level of intensity nor did they spread throughout my whole body. But, I'm guessing I'm not to far away from success, especially if I stick to protocol and really get the key sound down. I'm guessing at least the first time it will feel like the rope climbing orgasm.<

I've mentioned this before to you, but I would not be at all surprised if you eventually find your KSMO experiences equalling and then exceeding that event. But you must be patient and not try to push things along.

Apologies for mogging your thread!
