Through years of trial and error I've developed a sure fire way to raise my libido and keep it high.
The method I've developed is divided into three different parts, which are: physical, cognitive, and freedom.
The first part 'physical', is made up of five principles, which are: consistent workouts, eat and drink healthy, quality sleep, masturbate without ejaculation, and avoid medicine.
The second part 'cognitive', is made up of four principles, which are: read and write erotica, leave fantasies unfulfilled, look at pornography infrequently, and take care of your appearance.
The third part 'freedom', is made up of three principles, which are: avoid jealousy, explore sexy activities, and flirt with other women.
All of the principles mentioned above act together causing a synergetic effect to naturally propel my libido into the stratosphere!
Through years of trial and error I've found why these principles are so important, and I'll provide that insight to you now.
The physical issues concerning libido are essential, and fundamental. Without a physical body that performs and functions properly, libido will not and cannot occur. To this end it is very important for me to keep my body functioning at it's highest potential.
Regular and consistent workouts are the number one thing I can do for my body. I've found that the most efficient method for working out consistently is to workout every-other day at home immediately after waking, by performing five full circuits made up of various body weight strength training exercises that work my entire body, followed by 30 minutes of low impact cardiovascular exercise.
My circuit consists of single leg squats, followed by decline pushups, followed by chin-ups. I perform these exercises one after the other with no rest. I do this circuit of exercises five times.
I follow that with 30 minutes of low impact cardio kick boxing, which I do by cycling through a series of jabs, hooks, uppercuts, straight punches, elbow strikes to the front, elbow strikes to the rear, front kicks, roundhouse kicks, side kicks, knee strikes to the front, and rear kicks.
I eat and drink healthy by moderating my intake of caffeine, alcohol, sodium, saturated fat, highly processed carbohydrates, and sugary food. I make sure to get plenty of water, and nutrients.
I get eight hours of quality sleep everyday, using a CPAP machine because I suffer from sleep apnea.
You've heard the term 'use it or lose it'. Well that applies to to my ability to develop erections. If I were to go extended periods without purposely getting erections, I would lose the ability to do so over time. Therefore it's very important for me to masturbate everyday. However, masturbating doesn't mean ejaculating. The ancient Taoists have a saying which is "an ounce of seed is an ounce of a man's soul." What they mean by this is that retaining ejaculate will keep the sexual energy in you, as apposed to ejaculating which will leave you lethargic and less energetic sexually. Therefore, I masturbate everyday and try not to ejaculate. This keeps my erections functioning properly, while keeping my sexual energy high. I don't worry about the buildup of ejaculate because I know from researching it that it naturally gets reabsorbed in my body.
It's important for me to avoid all drugs, particularly prescription medication. While some medication is unavoidable, such as antibiotics, it is a fact that the more medication you take the more difficult it is to develop erections.
There are some medications which are particularly bad for erections such as high blood pressure medication. Therefore it is very important that I keep myself as healthy as possible naturally by following the workouts, nutrition, and sleep guidelines mentioned above, and avoid taking medications whenever possible.
The cognitive issues concerning libido are equally important as the physical issues are. Without a proper mindset libido will not and can not occur. To this end it is very important that I keep my mind as sexual as possible and take the proper steps to develop that highly sexual mind.
Writing erotica develops my ability to conjure up sexual thoughts, which are meaningful to me. It was difficult to write erotica when I first started out, but over time I developed a knack for coming up with erotic ideas.This ability to focus and conjure up erotic thoughts is so important for my libido, and writing erotica is the key to developing this ability.
It's also important for me to read erotica as well as write it. When I read erotica I interpret the story as I see fit, and I internalize it as well. In the process of interpreting and internalizing the erotica I create the perfect mental environment for my own sexual thoughts to take hold, furthering my ability to develop sexual thoughts.
I'm sure you've heard the saying 'you want what you can't have'. A lot of times the temptation to have something that is forbidden can be overwhelming. This desire in a sexual context is a powerful force which always raises my libido. For this reason it is very important for me to leave some of my fantasies unfulfilled. Unfulfilled fantasies are a catalyst that develops sexual thoughts which is essential to my libido.
It is very important that I do not look at visual pornography often. While very infrequent viewing of pornography can stimulate my sexual mind, repeated exposures will take away my sexual excitement, and damage my ability to conjure up sexual thoughts which are needed for libido.
The more I look at pornography the more use to it I become. The excitement that I had when I first saw pornography diminishes over time causing me to need more and increasingly shocking images to obtain the same excitement I had when I first looked at more innocuous images.
Furthermore, repeated viewing of pornography causes me to become reliant on the visual stimulus as my sole source of sexuality, and ignores my mind's ability to conjure up it's own sexual thoughts. As previously mentioned in this essay, if I don't use something I will lose it, and this applies to my mind's ability to conjure up sexual thoughts. By repeatedly looking at pornography I leave my mind to waste away to the point that I cannot conjure up any sexual thought independently, and I become a slave to obtaining sexual excitement from looking at pictures which aren't nearly as exciting to me as they once were.
