I have a question about the episode Beyond the Bedroom: Hacking Your Erotic Blueprint |1112 | Dave Asprey and the clip Unlocking Pleasure Potential. Lately, I've noticed that my masturbation habits have become quite fast and stimulus-driven, using erotic AI-generated stories and a silicone sex toy. While these can be very arousing, I often find that I’m not really present in my body, and I climax very quickly, sometimes after just a few thrusts. I’ve also felt that my orgasms have lost intensity and don’t feel as fulfilling as they used to. At the same time, I have a strong desire to develop a healthier, more mindful connection with my body and my sexual energy – one that involves awareness, self-acceptance, and genuine pleasure through touch, not just release. I really resonate with the term “solo sex” as a means of sensual, nourishing self-love, not just as a means to orgasm. I’m looking for guidance on how to increase my sense of pleasure, deepen my orgasms, and build a more balanced, loving sexual practice with myself.
