Coitus Interruptus and contraceptives

 Free Kindle Reading App for mobile phone

Coitus Interruptus is the oldest documented method of contraception. References to the method have been found in texts as old as 500 BC. Coitus Interruptus is also called withdrawal and pull out method. The male partner withdraws from the vagina just before orgasm or ejaculation occurs. It requires self control on the part of the male partner and then it has a 4% failure rate. All modern methods of contraception have a failure rate of 0.3% to 8%. Condoms for example have a perfect failure rate of 2%. The method is still quiet prevalent and is perfect in situations of unplanned sexual encounters. It is often practiced by male partners who do not want their mates to deal with side effects of modern contraception, such as weight gain and mood swings.


There are enough contraception (birth control) options to confuse anyone. Do you use a mainstream pill, an IUD or a progestin only pill? Can you reverse an IUD and a vasectomy? Is the female condom a good option or the male condom? Here are some answers. We discuss 12 popular methods of contraception.




Emergency contraception Buy Here
Popular brands are Plan B and Next Choice
Emergency contraception is an option for unplanned situations. Such pills contain a higher dose of estrogen and progesterone than combination pills. They work best within 72 hours of the episode but may be effective up to 5 days. Plan B is also known as the morning after pill and is available to women over 18. It is available over-the-counter.


Male condom Buy Here
Popular brands of the male condom (or condom) are Durex, Trojan, Okamoto and lifestyles.
Condoms form a protective barrier between the vagina and the penis. They are worn by the male and capture the ejaculate during sexual intercourse and prevent it from reaching the uterus. Condoms not only protect against pregnancy but also against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV. Condoms are made of various material including latex, polyurethane and lambskin. Lambskin protects against pregnancy but does not work for HIV. Condoms should not be used in combination with oil and hand lotion as it increases the risk of failure. Usually condoms are safe but two in a hundred do fail. They are available in various textures; smooth, rubbed, etc. The down side to condoms is they can only be worn after an erection.

Female condoms Buy Here
Popular brands are Femy, Reality, Long Love and Protectiv
Female condoms protect against STD and pregnancy. They are made of polyurethane or soft plastic. They form a barrier between the penis and the vaginal wall and do not let the ejaculate reach the uterus. Like the diaphragm the female condom is inserted deep into the vagina over the cervix. Unlike male condoms female condoms can be safely put in place for up to twelve hours before sex. Male condoms, however offer better protection with less chances of failure. The material and form of female condoms is not as fine as latex condoms. Some men prefer female condoms as they can be pre inserted. Female condoms also cover more length making it less likely for skin fluid contact.




Combination Pills
Popular brands of the combination pill are LoEstrin 1/20, Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, Yaz, Estrostep Fe, Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 and Yasmin
This is one of the most popular methods of contraception among women. It needs to be taken exactly in a 24 hour gap and then it is 99% effective. It not only protects against pregnancy but also restores regular menstruation. As a side effect or benefit it eases hot flashes. It should be avoided by women suffering from headaches and migraine. It works best for non smoking women under 35 years of age.

Progestin-only pills
Popular brands of the Progestin-only pill are Nora-BE, Ovrette, Micronor and Nor-QD
Unlike combination pills Progestin-only pills, as the name suggests, do not contain estrogen. They are popularly known as “mini pills”. They do not affect lactation in breast-feeding women. Use progestin-only pills if you are at risk of blood clotting. It is safe for women who smoke, have a heart condition or are diabetic. They have to be taken in a 24 hour cycle. A delay of more than 3 hours affects the effectiveness increasing the chances of failure drastically. Repeated use of a backup plan may not be a healthy choice in the long term.

Extended-cycle Pills
Popular brands are Seasonale, Seasonique and Lybrel
Extended-cycle pills extend the cycle to 90 days and prevent pregnancy. Lybrel extends the period to 365 days but you need to continue to take it every day. It is a new product and there is not enough research to support the safety of extending menstruation for long periods.

Vaginal rings
Popular brand is Nuvoring
The vaginal ring is a flexible plastic ring containing progestin and estrogen. It delivers the combination directly into the vagina. The ring is placed in the vagina for three of 4 weeks. It protects from unwanted pregnancy for 3 weeks and allows you to have periods at the wonted time. Like the combination-pill it is safe for non smoking women under 35 years of age. It may not be the best option for women with tendency to blood clotting and certain cancers.

Diaphragm
Popular brands are Ortho All-Flex, SILCS, Milex Wide Seal, Semina
Diaphragms are dome shaped and made of rubber. They cover the cervix and prevent the sperm from entering the uterus. Diaphragms are not completely safe and need to be used in combination with a spermicidal gel. They need to be fitted by a heath professional. Diaphragms need to be refitted with change of weight of more than 10 pounds. This is not the right choice for women with fluctuating weight. Women prone to bladder infections need to consider another option.

Intrauterine Device (IUD)
Popular brands are Paragard and Mirena.
Paragard is surgically implanted and are made of copper. It forms a barrier and prevents the sperm from fertilizing the egg. Mirena however works by releasing hormones and also needs to be surgically implanted. Both these devices work effectively for 10 years and are 99% effective. The removal cost can be up to $500. IUDs are not recommended for women who have not given birth. Expansion of the uterus at the time of implanting an IUD can be painful for such women. It is a long term solution, so if you plan to have children, it is not the correct solution.

Patch
Popular brands is Ortho Evra and Silvia
The patch works for a week. It releases hormones into the blood stream through the skin. It is worn on the buttock, arm, or abdomen. It is not safe for women prone to blood clots. The patch delivers 60% more estrogen than low-dose pills.

Implants
Popular brands are Norplant and Implanon
Implants are completely safe. They are implanted under the skin on the arm and are about the size of a matchstick. The cost is around $800 and work for three years. It may not be the right choice for overweight women and those taking St. John’s wort.

Sterilization
The three procedures of sterilization are Tubal ligation, Essure or vasectomy
Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure which involves blocking off the fallopian tubes from carrying the ovum to the uterus. Tubal implant also called Essure is a non surgical option. In this technique a small coil is inserted into the fallopian tubes. Both these procedures are for women. In men the procedure is called vasectomy. It is a minor surgical procedure involving cutting of the tubes carrying the sperm from the testicles. It is not a reversible procedure.

Excessive Masturbation - Help I am addicted



I would like to share the story of a young man addicted to masturbation and the psychological effect the addiction was having on him. It is my strong belief that man has made life very difficult for himself by setting up unnatural norms of behavior. The primary function of any living organism is to procreate and multiply. When a plant is ready to multiply there are no social or economic factors stopping it from doing this. When an animal in the wild is ready to procreate there is nothing stopping it from doing so. All it has to do is find a suitable and willing mate. Of course unlike humans, an animal in the wild has to prove its physical superiority over others competing for the same mate. Humans however place societal rules based on mostly economic factors ahead of laws of nature. Is it sensible for holding back the primary urge and duty of any human being from being fulfilled? This brings in its wake unnatural behavior. Young men (and women) not being able to satisfy the urges, when the energy is at its peak, turn to porn and masturbation. There are no monkeys who enjoy seeing others mate. I don’t think a monkey jerks-off. Monkeys, unlike humans have ample opportunity to indulge in healthy sexual activity with a number of mates during their life. Such restraint brings in its wake many untold sorrows.

This is the story of a young man aged 29 and the advice he got. I think it is a story I should share as it brings out the inner struggles that many face, caught up in addictions of one kind or another. This young man was caught up in an addiction to masturbation but the story holds true for any kind of addiction. This is his story:

I am 29 years and am part of the Krishna Consciousness movement for over 10 years. I am able to increase my chanting to up to 16 rounds but cannot sustain it at that level. I interact with other devotees at times but not as often as I should. I attribute my unsocial behavior to my habit of masturbation. I got involved in the Krishna Consciousness movement for divine guidance. Some time back I gave up hope completely and stopped coming to the prayer meetings. Then I faced some issues in my life which I was unable to handle so I went back to the temple. This time around I tried to be even more sincere but have failed. This has not happened man times in the past 10 years. All through these years I have been watching porn and masturbating. I am unable to share this with anyone around me although I need help. Also I feel no one would understand. I feel very sad and hate myself. I know that the lord is with me and is guiding me but I keep failing. I am asking for your help, please guide me get out of this miserable habit which is ruining me physically, mentally and spiritually.

Here is the advice he got from someone more experienced:

I was in the same trap and have successfully kicked the habit and would like to help you. Let us take it one step at a time. We need to understand some basics before we can progress. Our actions are the outcome of our thinking process. Let us not focus on the action but the thought behind the action. Therefore the first step in controlling your action is to control your thought process. Secondly our mind produces thoughts randomly but we filter these thoughts through our intellect. We cannot stop the thoughts which have been part of us for so many years but we can start choosing them intelligently. So we need to make a conscious effort to pick the correct thoughts. Thirdly our thoughts are dependent on our senses (indriyan). Indriyan are described in Hindu literature as touch, smell, taste, sight and smell. The nature of the mind is to wonder. But the more successful have a control over this wandering nature of the mind. Rishis and the more enlightened souls also face this but they control it with their will and use their intellect to choose the right path. So we need to control what we see, touch and feel and what we do with every thought before translating it into action. Here are some suggestions for you to work on.

If you watch porn then install a filter and make a pact with yourself not to watch it any more. Change the route you take if you are used to buying X rated stuff from somewhere on your way. Try and stay away from everything that can excite such thoughts. Try not to watch movies with simple kissing scenes. Stay away from friends who like to discuss stuff that can excite you sexually. This is about taking care of what you see, hear and see. Now let us talk about developing a stronger intellect.

Read some scripture for at least 20 minutes every day and implement its lessons in your life. You do go to the temple and chant Hare Krishna for an hour every day. The question is what about the other 23 hours. Try and use the same chanting and recreate the temple in your mind. Every time you have the urge remind yourself that the pleasure is short lived and you will have to deal with a lot of sorrow. Involve yourself in physical activity. Do yoga, meditation or lay a sport. Remember god helps those… you cannot just keep chanting without taking ownership of your actions. Match your commitment with your karma. You can succeed only with determination and commitment. Remember you have won half the battle by acknowledging that you do have this addiction. Don’t give in and never think you can’t do it. You are strong and you will do it.

What is Erectile Dysfunction and What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?


Erectile Dysfunction, ED or Impotence is the inability of a man to have a sustained erection firm and long enough for successful sexual intercourse. Unlike modern medicine traditional Indian and Chinese systems of medicine consider ED to be the symptom of some underlying disease or disorder. Erectile Dysfunction could show early in psychological disorders. On the physiological side Erectile Dysfunction may manifest itself in early cardiac problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, metabolic disorders and in early stages of other disease processes. Often ED is a precursor to a non-diagnosed disease or disorder. ED is nothing more than the body either trying to conserve energy and sometimes it could have its origins in reduced blood flow to the penis. Erectile Dysfunction also sometimes manifests in old bachelors or other men due to unfulfilled desire. Therefore maintaining a healthy sex life is the best preventive treatment for ED.

In most physically healthy men ED is the result of s psychological issue. It could be false concerns about ageing or performance anxiety. Sexual function is affected in some men when they are with a partner. This can often be the result of excessive exposure to porn and self gratification and sometimes because of a previous episode of failure. It may also affect a man due to over indulgence.

What is Qigong Exercise and Meditation



Qigong exercise and meditation has its roots in Tai Chi and Kung Fu. Qigong is an age old Chinese system of traditional health care. The exercises of Qigong integrate meditation, focused attention, postures, spirituality and breathing techniques. Qigong is really 2 words also written Chi Kung. Qi or Chi are translated to mean Vital force or life energy. Qi is the force that flows through everything in the universe. Gong or Kung is achievement, accomplishment or the skill, or ability that comes through constant practice. Qigong is a method of preventive healthcare, curing and increasing vitality. It is the harmonious integration of breathing techniques, movement and postures, and clear intentions.

Qigong is always done in the open to connect with nature. The intent is to cultivate Wu, letting go of the ego and achieving complete emptiness. From this come inner awareness, refinement and intuition. This inner wisdom and guidance leads to harmonious living. We live in a very Yin dominated world, deeply connected to material things. Qigong helps us cultivates a balance of Yin and Yang. Yin is the earth and Yang is heaven. Qigong helps us slow down and connect with nature and focus on beauty and simple things in life. By doing this inner work great enlightenment is possible. The slow and deliberate movements of Qigong integrate meditation with physical movement. It awakens the lower Dan Tian which is the center of energy and vitality of our body. The Dan Tian nourishes the body making it calmer and healthier and the mind wiser. The flow of creativity is increased and subconscious becomes more pure. The central Qi is awakened leading to the transcendental spiral leading to the Tao by working with the Yin and Yang together. We are clearing out the criticizing mind to make way for creativity. Our nightmares give way to higher levels of dreaming making way for more creativity and consciousness.


Qigong is a broad spectrum of techniques covering spirituality, physicality, martial and medicine. In each application of Qigong three things remain constant, focus, posture and breathing. Depending on the practice Qi is cultivated to be stored and to heal the body, increased or transmitted to heal others. The styles practiced may vary from the gentle Tai Chi style to the more martial Kung Fu style. The slow gentle movements are more poplar and can be adapted to the young and old, the healthy and physically challenged alike.

Like any other system of medicine and healthcare Qigong is not an answer for everything but is an extremely effective system of traditional healthcare. It is recommended by many mainstream healthcare professionals as a complimentary system of medicine. Regular practice of Qigong helps maintain health and higher levels of energy. It assists speedy recovery from illness, maintains health in old age and keeps you more active. Hypertension and injury from falling are common in old age, Qigong practice helps prevent such illness and incidences. Qigong reestablishes the body, mind, soul connection. People who do Qigong are healthier, calm and connected to the spirit. This brings a more positive outlook towards life and a positive attitude and behavior. This in turn improves lifestyle and brings stability, greater harmony and enjoyment.

The benefits of Qigong exercise increase due to the philosophy of intent and breathing applied to physical movement integrated with the meridian system used in acupuncture and acupressure. The mild movements practiced in Qigong increase vitality, build control and stamina, reduce physical and mental stress and strengthen the immune system. It acts on all the system of the human body and improves the skeletal, reproductive, digestive, circulatory, respiratory and lymphatic systems.

There is no need for special clothing for Qigong practice since it can be practiced anywhere and at anytime. It benefits everyone from children to the old. There are various styles of Qigong from the more genteel to the extreme martial and vigorous. These can be practiced by anyone from the physically weak to super athletes. There are Qigong classes for everyone, around the world, from children to senior citizens and everyone in between. Qigong’s great appeal is that anyone practicing it will benefit regardless of ability and age. There is something in Qigong for everyone. Children can practice it to improve concentration, workers to improve productivity and old people to improve quality of life.

Jelqing exercise - Natural Male Enhancement

 Male Enhancement
The length required for good quality intercourse and a partner’s satisfaction is not more than 3 inches. But a good size always adds to confidence. Jelqing is safe natural exercise for male enhancement. Jelqing if done correctly and regularly will not only add to length but also girth or thickness. Do not forget the warm up before starting. The warm up may be done one of two ways. First technique is to take a hand towel and soak it with warm water, not too hot. Wrap it around for a minute and repeat a couple of times. Alternately place your penis between your hands and roll it like dough. Release and cup your testicles. Repeat a couple of times. I however like to take a warm bath before the exercise to get nice and warm. The reason for the warm up is to prevent injury and promote growth. Once it is semi erect grip at the root with your thumb and index finger with your palm facing down, making an okay sign. Start with the right hand moving from the root away from the body. To start with use a light grip and tighten through the session. You need to trap the blood within and push it forward for maximum benefit. You are moving the blood forward with every stroke as you would toothpaste in a tube. As you reach the tip, grip the base with the left hand and keep the motion going. When changing hands grip as far back as possible and move forwards. Keep doing this in a continuous motion for 10 to 15 minutes. If your penis is close to half erect it will increase length and if close to full erection it will increase girth. Use slower strokes for girth and faster strokes for length. For maximum benefit jelqing is done without lube but when starting off use oil or other lube. I use and recommend edible grade oil of any kind except mustard oil. How jelqing helps is that with every stroke the blood moves into the cells of the erectile tissue engorging and swelling the penis. Once these cells are repaired they are able to hold a lot more blood resulting in stronger longer size. Expansion should be seen in the first few sessions, sometimes within the first session. You will experience an increase in girth before the length increases. Some people have reported permanent increase of over 2 inches within a couple of months of practicing the jelq. 


If you committed to adding inches to length and girth, and want to get firmer erections and last longer and want to get personalized help then you can try the HARD PENIS DIET. With this plan you get a copy of the HARD PENIS DIET. Complete meal plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner, access to member support forum for 30 days. Even direct coaching from HPD author Don Dowell.

How to boost your testosterone naturally

Amazon.com - Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices

I have written about masturbation, ejaculation and men’s health in general. Taking the discussion further I will talk about how to boost your testosterone naturally and retain “Jing”. Excessive ejaculation by men causes a number of issues which are related to depletion of Jing. Jing is the term used in Chinese medicine relating to sexual energy and general health. Through ejaculation we lose Jing and how we can correlate that to the minerals and nutritional profile of semen itself to see what you need to replace if you want to maintain an optimal level of health. You may also want to consider the amount of work our body puts in to create this substance in our body. There is a strong relationship between hormonal health and our sexual health. The quantity the quality and various components that we could use to describe the quality of semen in men is going to have a direct relation to hormonal levels. What happens during arousal is that testosterone levels rise in both men and women.

Testosterone is a key hormone for maintaining a healthy libido, growing muscle mass and being active with our muscles. It also keeps our skin healthy and vibrant looking. Testosterone gets very bad rap in mainstream ideology which is the outcome of some false studies done in the past and feminist propaganda related to health. However, much has been cleared away in mainstream medicine and any other field that is looking at health. As I was saying about arousal, the levels of androgenic hormones rise in the body, specifically testosterone. When this rises you get a number of feelings associated with it and it heals our bodies in a number of different ways. What happens after an ejaculation is that the level drops lower than where it was before arousal. Recently a study done in a Chinese college found that testosterone levels stayed low after ejaculation for 2 to 5 days. It is on average by day 7 that these levels rise up to what may be described as normal levels. Normal being the level in a person who has been abstinent for a while. What this means is that testosterone is used as nutrition to produce sperm and semen and as this process is happening it’s using up the available hormones and minerals.

This starts to connect some of the myths of masturbation and ejaculation. Most people dismiss now a days that there is anything to support it. Therefore in the long term excessive ejaculation is going to be a burden on the hormonal system. Lot of benefits that the mainstream ideology talks about, we can get those by engaging in sexual arousal with a sexual partner but avoiding ejaculation. This comes down to practices of Taoists and Yogis in the tradition of Tantra. This is practiced in many cultures with different intentions, but they all recognize the health promoting benefits.

I always advise people to use practices of Qi Gong and Yoga along with controlled ejaculation to avoid issues of energy stagnation in the lower regions. One example is that monks used to have prostate issues, which makes me think of “use it or lose it”. We can see how when something is left alone and not used, problems are going to happen with it. It is like if you don’t exercise your body your muscles are going to shrink, your cardiovascular and health in general is going to go down the hill. Through arousal the blood comes into the prostate, testicles, penis and other areas of the sexual system. It is not ejaculation but the blood flow during arousal that brings health benefits. So the middle ground between ejaculating for Prostate health and abstaining for Hormonal health would be, avoiding ejaculation but still engaging in sexual activity. With this you will learn to be more strong willed and skillful in the bedroom. You will be able to provide pleasure for the partner for longer periods of time and have the opportunity to focus on your partner and not be caught up in trying to attain that peak point for yourself.

By indulging in sexual activity but not ejaculating you get the benefit of maintaining higher levels of Testosterone and other hormones, and you also don’t lose other important enzymes and minerals that go into the makeup of semen and sperm. We can understand why people like Mohammad Ali abstained completely from sexual activity one month prior to a big event. There are a number of other athletes who go by this but there are other athletes who say they are energized by engaging in sexual activity before a big performance. For women athletes it may be a good idea to engage in sexual activity prior to an event. For people who are really high strung ejaculation may relax and relieve tension. People with high testosterone levels are healthier and more productive and remain more active in their middle and older age. Some men who have no effect after they ejaculate, is that they are ejaculating so frequently they don’t have a chance to know how it feels to have higher levels of testosterone in their body. Therefore if you don’t have anything to compare it with you will never know what the effect is going to be if you had higher energy levels from a certain period of abstinence. When I say abstinence I mean abstinence from ejaculation, not from sexual activity. Once they have been through a certain period of abstinence, most people purport that there is a certain amount of drain that comes through ejaculation. You also have to look at a person’s lifestyle. If a person is overeating, engaging in stimulants, antidepressants, there is going to be a certain amount of numbness in your body, mind and spirit; this may also result in the lack of ability to feel the change. You might not be as affected by the drain of ejaculating, but these things do catch up with you.

We also know that from the studies of Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda that Jing must be preserved at all cost and that the sexual system is the center of health. An equivalent for women is the loss of blood during menstruation, but that is another topic which I will deal with in another post.

How to Stop Early Ejaculation

You need to know a few basics before we start. Premature ejaculation or Early Ejaculation is not caused by “genes”. PE and EE are the result of the things you do before and during sexual intercourse. So, if you are not lasting long enough or want to last longer you need to change the things you are doing. So even if you are dealing with Early Ejaculation for a long time there are ways to overcome it and this is what we are going to discuss here. You need to become pleasure sensitive. Pay attention and be aware of when you are near an orgasm, don’t keep thrusting the way you are. Take corrective action to avoid coming. Be creative for example change positions, slow down or pullout and give oral.

Quick and shallow breathing is instinctive. Use deep breathing. Shallow breathing is tense and results in ejaculation. Deep breathing relaxes you and helps you last longer. Make a conscious effort to breathe slower and deeper.

Use deep thrusts and stay deep. The tip of the penis is the most sensitive. Keep the tip away from the entrance of the vagina. She gets more pleasure and you last longer. Rub your pelvis against her clitoris to stay deep and give her more pleasure.

Distraction or diversion is an effective way to last longer. Take your attention and energy away from the penis. Concentrate on her breasts, lips etc. Weird but effective.

A technique that works for me is to masturbate before having sex. This may not be possible in every situation but use it when you can.

Research has shown that it takes women at least 15 minutes to orgasm and only 22% say they climax during sex with their partner. So if you can’t last at least 15 minutes, you’ve got a problem. You may help her come thru oral sex or fingering but, is it really the same? Most men can’t help their women orgasm. This is the number one reason for relationship breakups. Your lover may end up cheating on you and have sex with someone else. It is common for people to cheat in a relationship if they are not satisfied in a relationship.

If you can last longer than 15 minutes that gives you the power to give your women multiple orgasms. Unlike men women are naturally geared to experience orgasms many times during sex. By lasting longer in bed you can give her more pleasure than she has ever experienced before. This also gives you a chance to explore multiple sex positions and approaches which is not possible without control over your orgasms. Once you start giving your lover these new levels of pleasure and experience how she looks at you will change forever. Once you start giving her mind blowing sex she is going to want sex with you all the time.
