Semen Retention

 

"Thank you for your blog. 

Another blog site (thebatorblog.com) seems to be a fan of semen retention. I've done some brief research but the benefits seem sketchy: I wondered if you might know more. 

I'm a 44 Yr old man and I masturbate twice daily in addition to partner sex. Throughout May each year, and usually prompted by your blog, I try to try something different. Any insight would be welcomed. Thank you."

I'm familiar with The Bator Blog, and their Bate Master. I don't think it promotes semen retention so much as it promotes edging; just spending more time enjoying the activity before ejaculation. As I like to say, "While ejaculation may be the ultimate goal, slow down and enjoy the getting there."

Those who promote semen retention report that the sexual energy of masturbation sticks with them if they don't cum.

When it comes to semen retention, I have a tendency to follow the urologists. Their data shows that a minimum of two ejaculations per week reduces the risk of prostate cancer. They go further and suggest that 21 times per month is the optimum number.

Masturbation Month began as a means to honor Joycelyn Elders (Bill Clinton's Surgeon General) who was fired after she was overheard during a private conversation on a university campus suggesting that, "perhaps, masturbation should be taught."

I interpret that as the activity should be brought out of the closet. It's a normal, healthy thing.

Twice per day in addition to partner sex is fine - even if you don't cum each and every time. One of the nice things for us is the ability to engage in sex as often as we like. That includes masturbation.

As this blog suggests, masturbation is normal, it's healthy, it's enjoyable. 

So, enjoy yourself.

Wise Move

 

"I noticed a lack of sensation and difficulty gettting hard. I did a video visit with my doctor and he suggested I start using Cialis. I've been surfing through your posts and read the ones about bike seats. I don't have a bike but you made mention of desj chairs, too. I thought maybe that might be my problem. I bought myself a seat that takes pressure off the taint for Christmas.  It was expensive but I decided my dick was worth it and the difference is noticable. Hardness is back and I'm enjoying the glorious sensations again."

Wise move. The amount of time we spend sitting on any hard surfaces makes a difference. If you have to spend large amounts of time sitting at a computer (for work or pleasure) you need to be aware of the damage that can be done to the perineum nerve bundle. Crush that and you crush your ability to get boners.

And no guy wants that to happen.

Too Presumptuous?

 

Your French Patrick was the only one to take a crack at the photo challenge in yesterday's post. He gave an answer, but not the one I was looking for. My, y'all don't pay much attention to the pictures, do you?

Does that mean it's my writing that brings you back day after day?

😁🤣

You all know how much I love to read.

These could be my bookshelves if they weren't so tidy.

As it turns out, a friend of mine - who may or may not be aware of this blog - has challenged me to try my hand at gay smut. Well, that's what I call it, anyway.  His first is doing very well and he's under contract with his publisher to write 8 more.

Turns out, it's much harder (pun intended???) than I imagined. Getting the proper mix of story arc to sex...trying to make sure the sex happens naturally and isn't just dropped in for no other reason than it's time for a sex scene.

But I am forging on. If it gets published, it will be under an appropriate pseudonym, of course: p.a. wilde. An homage to Oscar, and the all-lower-case for ee cummings.

Or is that too presumptuous?

BAM!

Thank you everyone for the well-wishes. The pain eased on Saturday and overnight into Sunday as a high pressure slowly moved in. And then, BAM! a low pressure system slammed in and the muscles went a bit nuts, but nothing like last Thursday night.

I could still use a little humor today. Some of these are courtesy of Bruce and Bryn, Mistress Maddie, and SteveXS. Hope you all get a chuckle.

Can you spot the one thing that's different?
