The self-pleasuring technique you are about to discover aims to reproduce the practice of shallow thrusting for the purpose of enjoying prolonged self-pleasuring. In shallow thrusting the penis head works the entrance to the vagina with ideally the ridge (where the head begins) gently and rhythmically catching just inside the vagina entrance.

This activity massages the penis just below the ridge and that is the area which the technique, you are about to discover, focuses. Additional support for the validity of this technique comes from the fact that the basic thrusting pattern suggested in literature on Chinese ?bedroom-arts? is one deep thrust followed by nine shallow. Practitioners were known to be able to prolong intercourse without ejaculation and satisfy several partners in the course of a ?night's-work?!

So let's get started. It is assumed you have reached the point at which you have an erect penis and you are approaching a level of arousal at which control may be lost and unwanted ejaculation occur.

The area to focus on is that immediately below the ridge where the penis head commences. You will find that working this area still produces highly pleasurable sensations while at the same time considerably reducing the urge to climax and ejaculate.

Method 1. Moderate level of arousal

1. Encircle the penis head just below the ridge using the thumb and first finger.

You can adjust the tightness of the grip by altering the position of the first finger on the thumb. If the foreskin is in the way roll it back and then apply the grip.

2. The grip needs to be sufficiently tight so as not to move up over the ridge.

3. The remaining fingers can be wrapped around the penis shaft or held out away from the penis ? whatever suits.

4. Once the grip is in position you can continue to stimulate yourself.

In Part 2 we look at what to do when you reach a high level of arousal and provide some notes on the practice.
