I've been wondering recently if my overall health and diet have been negatively impacting my practice. I haven't experienced any incredible results. I have experience definitely noticeable results though. I'm starting to wonder if my diet and overall health might have something to do with it.

I know sugar and other processed foods can wreak havoc on the body. I don't know the extent to which it might affect ksmo practice, but everything in us comes from air, water, food, and a little sunshine, and of those things we probably put the most of food in us, so naturally it would have a large impact on the functioning of all things in our bodies. I am attempting to radically change my diet, by drastically increasing the quality. I have been eating too much food period, with too much of that too much being junk food. I'm improving my diet not only for ksmo. There are a lot of other reasons. I'm focusing on eating tons of raw vegetables, some fruit, some raw nuts, simple cooked meals, occasional meat (mostly in the form of raw eggs) and limiting my intake to only when I am hungry, and only eating enough to satisfy my hunger, if not leaving me with a slight appetite at the end of a meal.

Anyway there are a couple symptoms I have that lead me to know that overall I'm not where I could be health-wise and that this might be affecting through chemical means(think hormones and such), my ability to get aroused enough for this practice to work. That could all be bogus, but feeling better overall can only help, so it might be only psychological. Either way, hopefully if I can get in the habit of a diet well regulated both in quality and quantity it will have some impact, and I will report here whatever insights I can glean from this endeavor.

Bredelly...I am intrigued by this...I too have wondered this -- not as it would affect my KSMO practice -- but in my life generally...energenically and emotionally.

I think jack would agree - what we eat should be as healthy as it should be.

Hi Bredelly and Laly,

I have experienced this as well and I know for certian that eating good and excersising has a great impact on me. I feel cleaner for one which allows me to connect easier with that KSMO energy. My big struggle over the years has been to eliminate alcohol and sugar and eat more whole foods, particularily vegetables. Through working out and eating better I notice I have more energy and feel great. I've lost around 45 pounds by starting small. I joined an ice hockey league and played once a week for the winter. Then I joined the gym and started going once a week, then eventually twice a week and now 3 times a week. It takes a while for it to become a habit, but once it does it's great. Now if I can only cut out alcohol and sugar or limit them So, eating and excersising better DEFINITELY has an impact on feeling better, hormones and KSMO practice.

Very good news Canuck ....yeah I started 3 years ago watching what I ate, exercised 6 out of 7 days in my own home...and to date lost over 100 lbs ...I agree with every word you said...being in perfect hormony - mind, body and soul ..

Yep, humans operate better when they are at their peak body, soul and spirit.

Yes, and User coldsteel who is an MD and surgeon, just posted an excellent related question to the ChatBox:

My personal reply as a lay person is that I am not aware of such a relationship although it would make an interesting branch of research on this multiorgasmic phenomenon.

I would say however, that substances such as alcohol (at higher levels), or prescription drugs that in general are considered depressants, that is, that tend to attenuate neuron firing rates, might tend to impede the response.

I would likewise think that alcohol (and similar substances, including for example, cannabis) in lower amounts, to the degree that its ingestion may lead to overall relaxation, might result in enhancing the multiorgasmic response.

I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts and experiences on this angle of the issue as well!

There is some reason to believe that prescription drugs might affect the capacity for multiples. Bear in mind that I am not recommending that forum readers/members rush out and ask their health care providers for prescriptions. Similarly, there are drugs that might be necessary for health reasons, but nevertheless adversely affect the capacity for multiples. Your physician is the best source of advice.

Having said that, a couple of observations are in order.

1. Women appear to physiologically more capable of multiples than men. With appropriate stimulation (typically including a hand-held vibrator or even a Sybian™), women can learn to experience multiples. Whether this is because their orgasm is physiologically different from men's; whether this is because of their hormones, no one really understands. But set women's physiology aside for a moment.

2. If we begin from a radically different point and ASSUME that men (like women) are generally capable of multiples, then we can reasonably ask how generally men function differently from that normal. Note that what I've done is asserted that men are generally capable and then ask what the normal state of affairs is.

3. Jack has focused on uncoupling orgasm from ejaculation, recognizing that ejaculation leads to transient loss of erection. The reason that this line of thinking has evolved is that about 1/3 men describe themselves as early/premature ejaculators.

4. An alternative line of reasoning is that if those men are capable of multiple orgasms, then maybe the issue is not premature ejaculation, but premature orgasm. That is, they need to develop the capacity to manage their sexual tension. In this interpretation, learning to manage that sexual tension is probably what the KS is doing, helping to learn the cycle of build-and-release. The separation of orgasm from ejaculation merely becomes a secondary effect.

5. If that line of reasoning has any substance, then prescription drugs that have delayed ejaculation as a "side effect" might also be expected to facilitate multiples.

6. There is sort of a natural experiment here. SSRI-type antidepressants--Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil,... have differing effects on ejaculation. For example, Zoloft has virtually no effect, whereas Paxil significantly delays ejaculation. It would be of interest, therefore, to compare men (and for that matter women) taking the various SSRI drugs with respect to their capacity for multiples. The logic predicts that those who experience delayed ejaculation might be doing so because they can better manage their orgasm and thus might be able to do multiples more readily.

Let me repeat, I am not suggesting anyone change their medications or ask their doctor to change their medications. This is an hypothesis, not a recommendation. But it would be interesting to try teaching KS techniques to men who have experienced delayed ejaculation --whether the delay is seen as a desirable or undesirable side-effect--- in response to prescription meds.

Coldsteel thanks for that great post. I definitely have some comments in response to your post and will try to get to them in a day or two.

Meanwhile, Check out Tommy O's story... it starts at

Interesting. Tommy's experience is precisely what the model would have predicted. The question, now, is whether drugs that are known to delay ejaculation facilitiate multiples in one or both genders. Prozac does not do much to ejaculatory latency.
