This was my first session standing up. I have never masturbated standing up. At least, that’s what I thought as I began the session. While I was masturbating and watching the porn, I remembered a time when I was 13 at my aunt’s house where I masturbated standing up.  That was the year I learned to masturbate and I tried all kinds of stimulation that year.  I was glad to remember that.  

I did the Pendulum and realized I didn’t feel anything in my lower legs or feet, so I started rocking until warmth came back in my legs.  I then slapped my pussy which caused shock waves down my legs which was surprising. I was totally pulled into my body.  I was not aware of the porn at all. Not even the audio playing in my ears. I then grabbed onto and hooked my pubic bone. I tugged it forward like I was holding a handle. It was a powerful sensation that I want to explore more in the future.  

I usually don’t watch porn for 20 minutes. I felt visually overloaded and wanted to do the Pendulum. I didn’t pause the porn, but I closed my eyes. I hugged myself. I gave myself the same type of touch that my partner gives me. I never touch my own breasts even though my nipples are very sensitive. But I love it when my partner plays with my breasts. I was surprised when I started massaging my own breasts. Standing up was definitely a different experience than the typical way that I usually watch porn.

 

 

The Pendulum gets me into my body. Starts my imagination going. I come into my body and who doesn’t want to be with their own pleasure? I just so enjoy being in myself, in my body.  The Pendulum is a practice that is doable and enjoyable. It’s a good thing for me.   

 

The Pendulum: I noticed that after the simple action of resetting my awareness and my priority into my own body, what immediately happened was a deeper, more embodied appreciation for the beauty of what I was watching.

 

I had a lot of resistance to standing. It took time to set things up, and I was nervous and stressed. I was wearing earphones but still worried that my Mom or Dad would come in. Because I was wearing earphones, I thought I wouldn’t hear them.I felt even more anxiety that I might be discovered. I didn’t expect that this would happen. It took me a long time to get into the porn with all my worries about this new way of watching. It was like learning to drive. I felt there were things I had to do like the brake and gas pedal and gears but I also needed to watch the road. Yes. this was just a first session. I will get used to it like driving a car.  When I did the pendulum, I had to close my eyes to feel my body. Am I really feeling my body? My only surprise was how good it felt to move my hips. I wanted this to be playful instead of stressful. There is something here. Next time will be easier.

 

I’ve known this, but how simple self touch – touch, how simple it is, I can barely just graze my skin, feeling the hair. In two seconds, I dropped into such a deep state of presence and pleasure. All of my anxieties and constant mind chatter of what I have to do today, just faded away so quickly. I could do this for hours. It just feels so fucking good. Oh my God. I feel so connected to myself. I’m giving and receiving at the same time. I never do that. That was so nice to rediscover.

 

I noticed that bending my knees is incredibly important. There is a sense of groundedness that connects my feet into the ground, actually feeling my whole footprint in the ground. Having a hip-width stance, bending my knees, letting my hips sink into gravity. There is a sense of support in just being down on my body. I find that the more grounded I can be, the more arousal moves up my spine, creating a sense of polarity.  I also feel a sense of openness to really breathe and relax into my pelvis before I start self-pleasuring. It’s a way of cultivating a sense of deep relaxation there. There’s just so much more potential for orgasm and arousal when I feel relaxed and grounded and rooted.

 

Something that was new for me today was just being really cool with nothing happening. I wasn’t trying to get anywhere. I wasn’t trying to get to orgasm. I wasn’t trying to get to a blissful state. I wasn’t trying to get to any particular anything. I found myself in moments just stopping. Pausing. Watching porn without moving my body or my hand – just feeling whatever my body was doing, and just kind of like noticing what’s going on without being in it. Which is beautiful too. There’s something cool about this.

 

I didn’t do enough pendulum today. I kind of got captured by the porn and didn’t do much pendulum. I started to get a little distracted by the porn. So maybe in my next session I would like to focus more on the pendulum and figure out what kind of techniques I can do to get me into my body.

 

Another huge learning for me today was that I found a way where my body awareness and the porn connected. It wasn’t just the pendulum going back and forth between my body and the porn, but I felt a third state almost. I felt the combination of my body and the porn together fully at the same time. That was huge. That was really huge.
