your post really struck a chord with me because I think it touches on something so many people deal with but rarely talk about. I’ve faced challenges with sexual satisfaction myself, and I know how isolating it can feel. Society tends to portray orgasms as this ultimate goal, but I’ve learned that taking the pressure off can lead to much better experiences overall.
One thing that helped me was shifting my perspective. Instead of treating masturbation as a task with an outcome, I started viewing it as a way to connect with myself. That might sound a bit abstract, but it was really about letting go of expectations. For example, I began experimenting with different settings—sometimes in a bath, other times lying down with soft music playing. Creating a peaceful, non-pressured environment can make a huge difference, especially if you’re someone who gets overwhelmed easily.
Also, don’t underestimate the power of education. There are some great books and resources out there on male sexual health, and many of them address the importance of understanding your own responses. Something as simple as reading about how other men experience these challenges can make you feel less alone. Are there any particular resources you’ve found helpful so far?
