Another thing you can do is masturbate until you’re very close to the plateau (not quite at the “oh i’m just about to cum” part), then stop, then wait, then start again, etc, continue for as long as you can stand. Truly excellent orgasms can be produced this way. ---

Coitus interruptus is what we used to call ‘getting out at Redfern’, in other words withdrawing one’s penis from one’s friend’s vagina after the gravy stroke but before ejaculation.

Christ, we’re talking about wankin’, and someone throws in a joke. It’s not as if this thread is being held up for Pulitzer consideration. ---

TMI/FYI, tantric sex is amazing and you can do it with a partner or by yourself. You can’t imagine how much more intense an orgasm can be after denying yourself just before climax many times. The more times you stop yourself before finally letting go the better. I don’t know if its just me but I never got ‘blue balls’ as a result. In fact I felt quite good after, almost like I had come. The best I’ve ever managed was around two trantric near orgasms a day for a solid week. It wasn’t easy, but the final climax was a day I won’t soon forget. It was far and away the best sex of my life. I just wish I had the discipline to do it more often. ---
