Can you really have an orgasm that lasts for hours?
posted by Deva Karuno
We all know what a sexual relationship is like: there is a rise, we reach a peak of pleasure in orgasm, and this is followed by intense pelvic contractions and an explosion of ecstasy. So, if you have an energy drop. But there are ways to make these orgasmic sensations last longer and retain heightened sexual energy while maintaining sex for longer. The secret is in prolonged orgasm.
What is a prolonged orgasm?
A prolonged orgasm is one that does not take the form of a "peak" or "release", but instead is an expanding and long-lasting orgasmic sensation felt throughout the body that can last for hours or even days.
It is related to many spiritual sexual practices, including semen retention (in which you learn to have orgasm without ejaculating, thus allowing multiple orgasms for men), sexual transmutation (in which you transmute sexual energy into creative energy, to supply other areas of your life), and the orgasm of energy.
The main idea: sex is an important source of energy. Each time you relate, you have the power to create a new life. What if you could take that power and channel it into your everyday existence?
You can, but most people, even though they are sexually active, do not take advantage of and use the power of their sexual energy. Instead, they leak unconsciously. The life force energy, which is the essence of our sexual connection, increases and peaks at orgasm, but then we often release that energy from our bodies instead of holding it back.
Men are especially vulnerable to this loss of energy. Consider cliché, the man who has sex, rolls over and goes to sleep immediately. One of the main reasons why many men start to practice Tantra and the practices of sexual energy (in addition to the spiritual dimension that is added) is to be able to share with their companions a more lasting experience.
There is no need for an energetic decline after orgasm. You can enter that cycle and draw that energy back to you. After sex, you should feel vibrant, witty, calm, heart-centered, tingling and happy to be alive. Prolonged orgasm is a way to extend and expand your orgasmic energy to sustain this heightened experience of pleasure and euphoria.
How to have longer lasting orgasms
The key to all this is to expand and recirculate your orgasmic energy. At the normal orgasmic peak that many people experience during sex, most of them eject all of this high-quality energy from their bodies. Instead, for prolonged orgasm, you bring that energy back.
You do this through breathing. If you practice yoga, there is also a technique that will help you have a more lasting orgasm. Most people tend to hold their breath, exhale very superficially, and contract the body as they approach orgasm. All of these things reduce the flow of energy. When you are in a demanding position, instead of holding your breath, you learn to control it. This takes you to the other side. Then you feel that you have broken some trapped part of yourself. You have evolved!
For those who practice yoga, breathing transports energy. We could even say that one of the main points of yoga is the movement of energy: releasing and clearing stagnant energy and bringing awareness to unconscious areas in our physical and emotional bodies. The poses are simply vehicles for this process. The same applies to sex.
By ensuring that we breathe steadily throughout the sexual encounter, we redistribute our sexual energy throughout the body (those who go through tantric massage sessions follow the same rhythm). What happens when you expand this flow of sexual energy is that you expand the experience of orgasm. It ceases to be a very distinct explosion of pleasure, for a sensation that spreads throughout the body, giving rise to the term full-body orgasm that is often experienced during tantric massage.
And keeps going. And so on, for hours. Sometimes days. Imagine being on the verge of orgasm all night, as long and as deeply as you can breathe. For some, this may seem like torture, but it is pure euphoria. By consciously channeling your sexual energy into your body, this flow spreads through everything you do. You feel revitalized, connected and attuned to the rhythms of life.
