Thanks for the compliment, Buster! - it's certainly the biggest I've done - I must be crazy. But I'm pleased someone out there reads my stuff.

>First of all, during "The Orgasm" stage, you say that it is better to hold it off to build up the energy. So what you are doing in this stage is doing your Key Sounds for a period of time and trying to hold any orgasmic responses at bay?<

The KS yes, if required.

But No! - I definitely don't mean that a deliberate effort of will should be applied to prevent anything happening, any more than anything should be willed to try to make it happen. As you know, trying to make things go in the way you would like them to simply doesn't work in the KSMO practice.

What I do mean is that by being totally passive, the orgasmic tension will build itself and attain it's absolute peak, at which orgasm becomes inevitable. While you cannot go higher than that it's otherwise possible to deliberately send yourself into orgasm at a lower point and thereby miss the best of the fun! This needs a lot of self-restraint to accomplish but it pays off hugely!

>The 'involuntary push' of this energy from the chest to the groin has me intrigued. I have been unable to control (or push) this energy around. To have control of that would be so great!<

Don't try to control anything! I can't stop it happening so if it's going to happen with you in the same way that it does for me, it sooner or later will. But it's still possible that the reaction my body gives me is not the same as for anyone else.

>What I especially was interested in was your comment about your breathing. It stops. ......I have heard some say that they were able to get to a place where breathing was a non-issue and the orgasmic energy was at its highest.......you have the same issue.<

That's interesting! But this is not actually an "issue" for me (more like a non-issue).

Strangely, when breathing stops it's because I just lose the need to breathe! - it's not a negative or threatening sensation - breathing just doesn't happen for a while. Eventually, breathing does start again but I feel that I could easily abstain some more and thus remain on the peak of the orgasm phase for longer. What seems to start my breathing again is the thought "...you ought to re-start sometime, mate!"

>Taking in the breath stalls the process for me.<

I know what you mean. In my case, when that occurs I'm just beginning the Ride, so there's a lot more to come.

Presumably your progress is such that a nice Ride phase follows the orgasm?

>Terrors. I believe that I had my most major one just this last week....<

Mmmmmmmm. What was your reaction?
