Core Practices

If you’ve been masturbating to porn the same way for the last ten years, you owe it to yourself and to your lovers to explore what more is possible. Orgasmic Yoga offers you dozens of pleasurable practices that will make your porn watching healthy and valuable. These powerful practices are sometimes referred to as Porn Yoga.

How does one bring mindfulness to porn watching? Wa Ama recorded these reflections after his first coaching session with Joseph Kramer and before beginning to film several months of his porn watching practice sessions.

Standing and moving as you play is called a leverage practice because this small shift from almost motionless sex to standing and moving produces astonishing sexual benefits both in our solo sex and in our sex with partners. When we say Stand and Move, we are not suggesting any specific movements, but only that you allow your body the freedom to move. Your movement could be as simple as swaying from side to side and moving your weight from one foot to the other. Perhaps you’ll be inspired by the rhythms of the sex you are watching. The more relaxed and playful your movement becomes, the more your body can vibrate with feelings of joy and pleasure. Standing for two or three sessions will get you beyond the awkwardness of starting something new. Remember to raise your computer to shoulder height and slightly bend your knees. 

This practice is simple. Bring your attention away from the porn to your own body for five breaths. You can pause the porn or just close your eyes. As you breathe, scan through your body, noticing the places of most pleasure. During the Pendulum, most people continue to move and stimulate themselves, but some pay attention better with stillness. The point here is to place your attention on what’s happening in your body. After five breaths, return your attention to the porn. Some people have difficulty turning away from the porn for even five breaths. If this is the case for you, turn away from the porn for two breaths. Over time, the sensations of excitement and bliss in your body may seduce you into spending longer than five breaths while savoring. Bringing your attention from the erotic visuals to the sensual pleasures of your own body takes practice. This is because you are moving from the visual processing part of your brain to the sensation processing part of your brain and back again. You can do the pendulum as often as you wish. Some find it helpful to set an alarm to ring every few minutes.
