168 / BARBARA KEESLING, PH.D.
“I cannot overstate what becoming multiorgasmic again has done for me. Within less than two months I went from being extremely uncertain about the whole thing to being able to have two ‘100-percent orgasms’—one without an ejaculation and one with—whenever I chose to do so. Becoming multiorgasmic has given me back my sexual confidence, and a sense of myself that is hard to put in words. Paula teases me about it all the time. She says that I’m a different person—a person she wants to have sex with a lot more often.”
Charles’s Story
Charles competes every year in a number of marathons and biathlons. Being a serious athlete, he was prepared to build up his techniques the same way an athlete would build up endurance for a marathon or other sporting event. Charles knew his body well enough to know that if he was patient, he could train himself to have a multiorgasmic response almost automatically. Here’s what he had to say:
“I love sex, and my wife and I have great fun together in bed, but there is a part of me that takes sex very seriously. I have pushed my body hard through all kinds of rigorous athletic training programs, and it has always paid off in the end. Intuitively, I knew that it wouldn’t be any different for something like male multiple orgasm. You put yourself through your paces, you get the result.
“My strategy was to do an exercise and learn a technique by myself, then try the same technique in a session with my wife. The sessions with my wife
HOW TO MAKE LOVE ALL NIGHT / 169
were strictly for our pleasure. I did the hard work by myself.”
Charles was anxious to get started, yet he progressed through his training slowly and methodically—the mark of an athlete who takes his work seriously. He explains:
“I exercised my PC muscle a lot, but I never overdid it; I knew it would only be a matter of time before everything kicked in. People push too hard when they don’t know their bodies. But serious athletes have learned the rewards of pacing themselves. Why should it be any different with these exercises?”
Did Charle’s patience and hard work pay off? I’ll let him tell you:
“It has been almost a year now since I started to learn these techniques, and the results have been extraordinary. Compared to other exercise regimens of mine, this one was a snap.
I never needed to learn the ‘windsprint’ technique. All I had to do was practice my peaking, plateauing, and PC control and everything else unfolded effortlessly. I couldn’t really tell you why I didn’t need the final exercises. My body just found a different way.”
There are many paths to the top of the mountain, and clearly, Charles found his. The goal here is male multiple orgasm, and as far as I’m concerned, whatever works, works.
Not surprisingly, it’s still working for Charles:
“When a marathon is over, it’s over, but when you’re multiorgasmic, it never ends. I am becoming more and more orgasmic all the time, even though I don’t even try anymore.
I have had as many as five orgasms during one session of intercourse with my
170 / BARBARA KEESLING, PH.D.
wife. You know what the odd part is? It’s as though I’ve suddenly discovered that my body is naturally multiorgasmic. I never knew it because I didn’t even know that such a thing existed. But now it feels like it’s who I am, and who I always was.
“My wife says that knowing me and knowing how determined I can be, she’s not entirely surprised by my success, though she certainly is pleased. She thinks this all happened so easily for me because I’m so driven, but I think that’s only half of the story. I really wonder how many men are probably just like me, with this ‘natural’ ability just sitting there, waiting to be tapped.”
Frederick’s Story
Finally, I’d like you to meet Frederick. Frederick is a structur-al engineer who told me that his desire to learn about male multiple orgasm was driven by “an engineer’s fascination with how his body works.” Men like Frederick are so methodical and scientific in their style of approach that from the very beginning their success seems inevitable.
To train his body to respond the way he envisioned it could, Frederick invented his own style of “riding the 9’s.”
He learned to plateau at Level 9 for a full ten minutes, using a combination of breathing, PC contractions, and varying the speed of his thrusting. You learned to create plateaus like this in chapter 7, but you probably didn’t imagine you could ride high-level plateaus all the way to orgasm. Well, Frederick did, and he liked the results so much that he stuck with it, creating his own personal style of climaxing.
HOW TO MAKE LOVE ALL NIGHT / 171
Riding a wave like this at very high levels is different from the more aggressive techniques you learned in chapter 10.
Instead of pushing yourself to the point of orgasm, you almost fall over into orgasm after plateauing for long intervals at very high levels. As I briefly mentioned earlier in the book, this type of approach most closely resembles the way many women have multiple orgasms.
Not surprisingly, Frederick had a lot to say about his process:
“I did most of my training by myself. I was able to bring myself to multiple orgasm before I tried doing it with a partner. If I can be frank here, I’ve always felt that masturbation is essential if you’re going to learn your own personal response. I know that some people might be uncomfortable with this, but personally, I think they are getting in the way of their own progress and their own pleasure.
“If you’re like me, the kind of guy who can get pretty obsessed with mastering something like this, I don’t think it’s fair to ask your partner to work with you every single time you want to practice these techniques. Sometimes? Yes. But not every single time. Still, that practice is important—at least it was for me. I couldn’t imagine learning to have the kind of control I now have if I didn’t spend a lot of time working on this alone.”
Frederick has learned to have as many as
four
orgasms before he ejaculates. His final words on the subject should be an inspiration to every man:
“You can’t fail! If you do the work, you simply cannot fail!
Every exercise is a stepping stone closer to the goal. Each one, no matter how it feels, is a learning experience. Sometimes it works, sometimes
172 / BARBARA KEESLING, PH.D.
it doesn’t, and sometimes you don’t know whether it did or it didn’t. That can be a little weird, but your body keeps changing; it keeps adjusting and adapting. The most important thing is to keep a positive attitude all the time and just keep going. And keep working that PC muscle! A strong PC
muscle is a requirement for success!”
Your Story
So there you have it. Four very different men, four very different experiences, yet every one is a success story.
So what about you? What’s your story? I want to know.
Why did you decide to learn about male multiple orgasm?
What has the learning experience been like for you? What was easy? What was challenging? Now that you have completed all of the exercises, what does it feel like to be a multiorgasmic man? How has your body changed? How has your sense of yourself changed? If you are in a relationship, how has that changed? What has been your partner’s experience of this process? What advice do you have for other men who are interested in learning these techniques? I’m really interested in your input. Let me know by writing to me care of the publisher.
