Stretching + Yoga to Redirect Sexual Energy to Maintain Streak

Hey All,

I have been enjoying a ~150 day NoFap/NoPMO streak and would like to open this thread for a few things:
- Share resources (mostly youtube videos) that can help folks main their streaks by redirecting sexual energy to more productive areas
- Share current thoughts on NoFap depending where you are
- Discuss yoga, chakras, meditation, tantra, and other metaphysical topics
- True Libido
- Overcoming insecurities

Not sure what other folks call it, but after regaining my life and energy from PMO I have been able to feel and seek my true libido, and really explore my true sexual nature as a male.

 

Background on chakras for those that are new to the idea:

Our emotions reside physically in our bodies.
The energy of the second chakra, sometimes known as the sacral chakra or Svadhisthana, is the power of partnerships, how we begin to relate to others outside the family tribe, the creative exploration of life and relationships, sexuality, and discovering the power of choice.

Where is the sacral chakra?
Below the navel, extending down to the groin area at times. For men, this energy tends to manifest near the genitals when overactive/unbalanced.

You can stretch and redirect sexual energy from the sacral chakra to other chakras.

Youtube resources to heal/work the sacral chakra

1. Sacral Chakra sleep meditation
2. Sacral Chakra yoga

If yoga vids are triggers for you avoid.

 

Here are a few other videos that I've used in the past. The thing that really helps is to notice where the energy is.
That feeling "awaiting arousal" or generally horny-ness definitely manifests around the groin area, and that is the area where the sacral chakra lies.

1. Full Body Daily Stretch routine
2. Sacral Yin Yoga (restorative)
3. Sacral Chakra Yoga - Beginner's 10 min daily

So the lounges are really great in all of these videos and can loosen up that energy for you to move it upward.
What can also help is breathing.
Does anyone have breathing exercises they can share links to?

Do these sacral chakra stretches and exercises when:

- You feel enough energy to want to relapse
- You have the feeling of arousal in the groin area
- You're ready to re-direct some of the pent up energy to other parts of your body and life

 

True Libido is a term that I use to describe how after ~150+ days I feel capable of exploring my real, actual, and natural libido as a man. In my case, I am a hetero man. I feel that I can really explore my true desires with my partner, my performance is excellent and meets my expectations, and I have no delusions (fed by P) that could make me lose confidence or feel as though I am not really aware of what I need. I don't need to think back to "examples" of what turns me on. Instead I am able to make quick decisions and seek my pleasure and surprise my partner with just "feeling it out."

The opposite of True Libido = P-Fed Libido. A side story:
A woman friend of mine was describing to me and showing me the instagram of a new guy she was seeing. He's a very attractive guy who can obviously pull many different women and have sex with them. We were having a discussion about NoFap and I told her the difference I felt being in my true libido. She said that this guy was OK in bed, and that he had done something that many of you will definitely recognize from P. If this is a trigger of yours do not continue reading the small text...

While standing he pick her up and did the porn move that has the man standing and holding the woman up like a child, and ramming the hips into her.

Honestly guys, that position is not pleasurable for any woman at all and has nothing to do with female anatomy. However, if you also remember your P-watching days this was one of the things that happens all the time and provides a good view for a camera. Clearly this guy felt like he was a performer and he watched this happen many times in P and got off from that P. He essentially has no idea what else to do in the bedroom except imitate the P.

True Libido is knowing what you want and need as a man in sexual terms, and being able to guide your partner through your own and their desires.

Would you guys like to hear more on this topic? Let me know, otherwise I will move on and back to the yoga topics and chakra topics. Honestly I think these are still paths to the true libido.

 

Next step. Define "True Libido" ? What is it, exactly?

Yes very interesting Nick. From what you mentioned, it sounds like you and I both have gone through a process to get to that True Libido. So I want to propose making a tighter definition of True Libido. What do you think? Where could we possibly start? This is a term that I feel needed some clarification for me, and I even came up with it! A lot of other guys in this forum are probably feeling the same thing. By defining this term, it can be added to other benefits of NoFAP, and a "goal" of PMO, at least for some guys.

I think that this process is something that we men can go through when doing NoFAP, and that it also includes the other topics in this forum (what do with your energy, how to re-direct it, how to recover from flatline). Personally, when I was first entering around day ~120 or so I felt an incredibly strong almost visceral magnetism that I had. I went on a lot of dates then and was really happy with the feeling of "being attractive." Honestly it was the first time in my life that I have truly felt attractive - not just a knowing but an intensity. Like testosterone pumping through my body or something.

Now I have a stable partner and am often wondering how I can keep that intensity even when I am being monogamous.

Mostly I come onto NoFAP forum on weekends. Cheers guys and thanks for contributing.
