A follow up to the original post about the “Million Dollar Point”
QUESTION: Bruce, I’m not sure I understand your blog about the Million Dollar Point! I love to rub my perineum and press pretty hard there while I bate. Also, pushing there makes me cum extra intense! Can you clarify this for me?
RESPONSE: I’ll try! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with pressing and rubbing on your perineum while you masturbate. On the contrary, it can feel wonderful, and I do it often! In fact, I especially love to press the internal end of the root of my penis, just directly behind my scrotum, while I masturbate.
What I do not recommend is pressing really hard in the center of the perineum as a means to prevent semen from ejaculating from your penis. It’s only this really hard pressure in that one spot to pinch closed the urethra in the perineum, which I consider a bad idea. The urethra comes down from the bladder, into the spongy chamber of the penis, and it’s the channel for both urine and semen.
This hard pressure in one place is an effort to forcibly prevent semen from shooting out of your penis, even though you have internally ejaculated. It really misses the point of retaining your semen and may back the semen up into your bladder. It can even cause nerve damage related to erectile dysfunction. The point of retaining your semen, like edging, is to continue masturbating and to keep the erotic energy you generate, inside your body.
While you masturbate and experience erotic ecstasy this way, two wonderful chemicals that increase in your body and brain are oxytocin and dopamine. These chemicals help you feel happy, friendly, and good-natured. They gradually surge to higher and higher levels as your pleasure climbs plateau-to-plateau, and it is beneficial to keep them in your body, as much as possible.
Whenever you ejaculate, you may generate a burst of these chemicals, but then they are likely to quickly decrease in your system after that. When your attention returns to potential sources of stress or anxiety, you may experience a surge of adrenaline or the stress hormone cortisol.
This also happens if you ejaculate internally but press really hard and for a long time in one spot to try to keep the urethra closed in the middle of your perineum: your brain chemistry shifts.
I’ve seen some comments where that blog link was posted on Twitter too, and I realize that maybe I did not make myself quite clear. To press or rub directly behind your balls while you grip your erect shaft in the other fist is delicious! Keep the pressure moving often. Pay close attention and you will feel an extra surge of blood into your penis shaft. This feels tremendously good!
