After reading the evolving your man blog about masturbation, I asked my wife to manage my sexual release. 18 days not masturbation, teasing and finally rewarded a release it was like an orgasms I never experienced. My wife used a vibrator on me and I came a lot. It was a bitter sweet experience as now in the sub drop. I loved sharing the experience together, which oddly enough I feel closer to my wife. I’m going to definitely continue the journey:)
When I first started semen retention, I replaced masturbation to completion with edging. This felt great but I didn't really get the full effect of semen retention. I found that edging too much actually reduced the volume and force of my ejaculations. Now I still masturbate occasionally but I don't approach the edge like I used to. I just tease myself a bit and that seems to give better results.
