the size of their testes and the count and motility of their sperm in as little as a few days |
In mammals especially primates alpha individuals from both genders attempt to |
monopolize breeding through intimidation This causes a dramatic decrease in sex hormones in |
their targets Chronic intimidation can be so stressful that it impairs subordinates fertility |
suppressing the testicular axis in males and halting ovulation in females This is often called |
social suppression of reproduction or social contraception There is an entire body of |
literature on how conflict in primates creates reproductive disadvantages for the losers |
In many monkey species the biggest losers are completely celibate It is common for |
dominant males to attack or physically displace a subordinate male in the middle of copulation |
preventing them from ejaculating The resulting brain and hormone changes decrease the |
quantity and quality of the displaced males sperm Likewise repeated conflict with a dominant |
female can cause subordinate females to lose the ability to conceive There is every reason to |
believe that similar coercion and physical repercussions are commonplace in human society |

Indeed human infertility and sexual dysfunction are both known by medical researchers to be |
highly exacerbated by the stress hormone cortisol |
Chronically elevated cortisol levels can cause loss of libido and impotence in men mostly by |
inhibiting the production of testosterone In women it can cause severe fertility problems and |
result in an abnormal menstrual cycle This antagonism between the cortisol and testosterone |
hormonal axes is thought to be adaptive because in emergency situations engaging in behaviors |
that are encouraged by testosterone such as mating competition and dominance is |
unnecessary and possibly counterproductive |
If you put a mouse in a cage with a more dominant mouse its testosterone and fertility will |
decline significantly Similarly if you spend time believing that you are inferior or inadequate |
your virility will drop We must avoid sexual bullying and stop ourselves from thinking sexually |
selfsubordinating thoughts Fortunately the effects of cortisol on testosterone in both men |
and women are reversed when the stress goes back down |
You dont want your body to assume you are a pathetic monkey trying to sneak copulations |
in hiding So you need to send it the right messages You want to develop a mindset of sexual |
dominance and disinhibition affirming that you can achieve arousal at any time have sex |
anywhere and be in your sexual comfort zone under any social conditionsas long as it is |
ethical and legal of course This starts with slowing everything else down and making your |
sexual response a priority Just as subordination causes us to ignore our shallow breathing and |
protracted neck it also causes us to ignore both the tension and the pleasure in our genitals |
The best way to counteract this is to learn to listen to your genitals |
Sexual Exercise Listen to the Sensations Coming from Your Genitals |
Your genitals are continuously sending you sensory signals about their current state of |
arousal Most of us ignore this steady influx of cues leaving us out of tune with our sexuality |
Sexual suppression and submission have turned our erogenous zones into blind spots Feeling |
good down there is not a sin not a luxury and not something you have to earn It is your |
basic right as a mammal and an integral part of dealing with stress If you want to cultivate |
your sexual response you must pay attention to any and all pleasurable sensations coming |
from in between your legs |
Close your eyes and spend five minutes meditating on this area Focus on it completely like |
you are watching a movie At first you may not sense much but with time and patience |
you will begin to notice faint instances of erogenous squirming and pulsating Indulge them |
Learn to revel in them Doing this will help prove to your body that you are a lusty beast |
unencumbered by sexual trauma With time practice and the use of the other exercises in |
this chapter infrequent tingles and quivers will turn into a steady stream of notsosubtle |
heaving and throbbing Monitor your breath while you do this and imagine breathing |
straight into your genitals This will help you develop the laser focus necessary to become |
reacquainted with the full extent of your aphrodisia |
Chapter Stop Sexually Submissive Behavior |
One of the best ways to improve your awareness of sexual sensations is to stop bracing the |
muscles involved This is simply because if they are constantly strained they cannot respond |
actively to sexual stimuli There is no throbbing in dormant muscle |
Stop Bracing the Muscles Surrounding Your Genitals |
Hip or pelvic tension can be a conscious or unconscious attempt to downplay the potency of |
the genital region and is yet another form of submissive body language Over time the |
formation of dormant muscle leads to withered libido lessened enjoyment of sex and sexual |
dysfunction There are other sources of pelvic bracing Falling on the bottom bruising the |
tailbone long hours sitting at a desk or a bicycle seat and all types of physical trauma can lead |
to tension the area |
Pelvic bracing is linked to medical disorders Vaginismus is the involuntary contraction of |
muscles that surround the vagina The tight muscles make penetration and intercourse painful |
for women with this disorder Bracing may also make it harder for some women to orgasm |
For a woman to climax the muscles of her pelvic floor cannot be taut They must relax during |
sexual stimulation so that they can contract rhythmically during orgasm Many researchers |
believe that various sexual disorders such as male impotence latency to female orgasm and |
vulvodynia chronic vulvar pain can be due to excessive bracing of muscles adjacent to the |
sexual organs This seems even more likely when you consider that common preceding events |
for these disorders include sexual assault rape domestic abuse sexual humiliation chronic |
pain and generalized anxiety |
It is well known that the blood vessels surrounding the external genitalia constrict during |
sympathetic stimulation and dilate upon parasympathetic stimulation This means that blood |
flow to the penis clitoris and vulva is impeded by stress and accentuated by relaxation In fact |
the pelvic floor is one of the most reactive groups of muscles during startle When it contracts it |
results in a retraction of the clitoris for women and the penis for men Relaxation of the |
anococcygeal area is thought to be key in improving the sexual arousal response As a matter of |
fact engorgement of the penis clitoris and labia results from the relaxation of smooth muscle |
In other words blood doesnt flow until these unconsciously regulated muscles loosen up |
Sexual Activity Brace and Debrace Your Pelvic Muscles |
How do stress and intimidation affect the bracing of the muscles around your genitals Most |
people could not answer this because they have little to no awareness of this common |
reaction Lets try bracing them to see how it feels Tighten the muscles in your lower back |
Tilt your hips to one side and brace them Squeeze your legs together Tighten your urinary |
sphincter as if you were trying to stop yourself from peeing Now contract all these muscles |
and anything else local you can find at of their maximum strength After seconds |
let go entirely and register what it feels like to let the bracing here subside Repeat this |
contraction and relaxation four more times |
We signal sexual submission by straining sexrelated muscles in the abdomen and pelvis |
These muscles lose their healthy tone after sexual trauma or feelings of sexual inferiority |
Thankfully like all muscles you can rehabilitate them Most people have an untapped reservoir |
