Here are some details about the sex hormones that make all of this so exciting:
We hear a lot about testosterone, and it is a huge thing in male bodies but the key players in this game are named Dopamine, Prolactin, and Oxytocin. Here is a simplistic picture of what those three are:
Dopamine
The intense pleasure hormone. A built-in reward system. The heroin of hormones. High highs followed by a deep crash.
(he wants this)
Oxytocin
The “cuddle hormone.” It is what I was given to induce labor. It is involved in bonding, intimacy, trust, and maybe anxiety.
(you want this)
Prolactin
The satisfaction hormone. Like an antidote to the Dopamine & Oxytocin. It shuts down sex stuff.
(nobody wants this)
So now lets look at two patterns in terms of male bodies. The first is a regular “masturbate and have sex whenever I feel like it” pattern and the second is the tease and denial pattern. The “regular” pattern: orgasms on a regular basis. In this pattern Oxytocin builds up slowly in each cycle, then at orgasm a huge heroin rush of dopamine explodes his brain, and immediately it is all killed by Prolactin, so he instantly loses desire, intimate feelings, submissiveness, and trust. It then takes a few days or weeks to build those up again properly. The tease and denial pattern: no orgasms for longer periods, but CONSTANT teasing. In this pattern there are no big blasts of dopamine except for the occasional releases. Oxytocin builds up and stays high all the time, making him attentive and horny and affectionate and obedient and very eager to please the woman. The more teasing, the more Oxytocin! They have done experiments with suggestibility tests before and after doses of Oxytocin by nasal mist, and Oxytocin makes men up to 400% more open to taking and embracing the suggestions of their partner.…
Emma this is a very interesting subject, and I wish you would talk about the effect of male chastity on testosterone. I do weight training and having high level of testosterone is important for muscle development. Also, men with very low testosterone can experience erectile dysfunction. Men get their testosterone peek at 20 and it is reduced by half once you reach 50. There is an old mentality that athletes would abstain from orgasm 2-3 days priors to a competition in order to boost their T-level. There is also a truckload of male supplements claiming to boost testosterone but I have my doubts. Testosterone is your friend, it does wonder to the body such as inducing weight loss.
Have you researched what happens to testosterone to a man that is wearing chastity and denied orgasm for 2 weeks or more? I am concerned that my body would shut off the production while I am not sexually active (orgasms).
I can’t really speak to the testosterone drop-off but Kevin does take a multivitamin and a testosterone booster daily. I do think it helps with the teasing. I haven’t done much research in this area yet but I agree it is very interesting. Anyone with older fellas have any thoughts?
