Why Hire A Brain Trainer in Nashville Brentwood
Enhancing Lives at Our Brain Training Center
At LearningRx, we do more than just give you the tools and push you need to overcome learning struggles. We pair our clients with their own personal brain trainer for one-on-one mental workouts. This client/trainer relationship is one of the elements of our services that sets us apart from other brain training programs.
We compare our services to gym memberships. Working out in a fitness center isn't something you do once and then stop—it requires regular commitment and dedication to achieve long-term results. Our cognitive skills training in Nashville Brentwood is similar: We are a gym membership for the mind, with challenging yet rewarding mental exercises.
Praise from LearningRx Parents
We have science, research, testing, and development backing our brain training programs, but most importantly, we have satisfied parents who sing the praises of our services. We'll let them speak about LearningRx themselves:
- "As he began training with Mrs. Gloria, things started changing immediately. Our son actually stated that for the first time, he actually felt that he had partners (Mrs. Gloria and Mrs. Diana) that were on his side to support him in every way."
- "His trainer had a huge, positive impact on him, too, building his self-esteem and reviving that love of learning that is essential to educational success. It has been a pleasure for us to work with the local LearningRx team."
- "The trainer that our daughter had truly become a friend. She knew how to push her to her limits with time to laugh and recover. Would I recommend it to a parent? Unequivocally, yes!"
- "Our trainers, Annie and Matt, were great! They were supportive and encouraging and they became like family. They truly cared about us and our success."
- "We have watched Peter blossom. Peter's trainers (he had two different trainers) were so patient with him and knew exactly what to do to motivate him."
Our Difference
At LearningRx - Nashville Brentwood, we build relationships and get to know our clients, their cognitive abilities, and their struggles, and then customize a program that will fit their unique needs. Unlike online brain games, this interaction, encouragement, and accountability lead to better outcomes.
The one-on-one aspect of our cognitive skills training allows us to focus on:
- Attitude by challenging clients to recognize and pursue their potential, learning to see failure not as something to be avoided at all costs, but as a temporary stepping stone to greater success
- Confidence by encouraging struggling children and adults to fully engage, embrace challenges, recognize improvements, and celebrate gains
- Customizing each training session and encouraging clients to work past their comfort levels
Learn More with Our Brain Skills Quiz
There's a lot to understand about our services, so we invite you to take the first step toward getting a glimpse into what we can do. Our free online brain skills quiz takes only about three minutes and will help you understand the "why" behind some of the struggles you are experiencing.
After you take the quiz, if you're curious to learn more, schedule a Brain Skills Assessment at our brain training center in Nashville Brentwood. Our trainers (and you!) will get vast insight into your cognitive strengths and weaknesses and discuss your customized plan of action.

|» SMS from Access
|» SMS from C# .NET
|» SMS from Visual Basic (VB6)
|» SMS from Excel
|» SMS from ASP .NET
|» SMS from Visual C++
This tutorial illustrates how to send and receive SMS from Visual Basic 6 (VB6) using the SMSLibX ActiveX component (DLL library).
The tutorial shows how to:
The reference environment is Microsoft Visual Basic 6.
A minimal expertise on Visual Basic programming is required.
Now you're ready to use SMSLibX objects and methods directly in your source code.
The following Visual Basic (VB6) source code might be used into a VB6 form in order to send and receive SMS messages. With few modifications this code can be inserted in a VB6 class module too.
WithEvents clause is essential in order to catch events raised by the SMSModem object.
' Declare SMSModem object Public WithEvents Modem As SMSModem ' Send SMS Private Sub cmdSendMessage_Click() ' Open modem communication Set Modem = New SMSModem Modem.LogTrace = True Modem.OpenComm ModemType, ModemPort, , smsNotifyAll ' Send message Call Modem.SendTextMessage(PhoneNumber, MessageText) End Sub ' Receive SMS by event Private Sub Modem_MessageReceived(Message As SMSLibX.SMSDeliver) MsgBox "New message received from " & Message.Originator & ":" _ & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Message.Body, _ vbInformation, "New message received" End Sub
For a brief introduction on SMSLibX usage we recommend the Quick start section from SMSLibX Help.
SMSLibX is fully integrated into the Microsoft development environment:
The following examples provided with VB6 source code are available for download:
Both examples are pre-configured for simulation mode (they do not send real SMS).
Once you got them working on yoir PC, you can configure them in order to use your actual GSM modem/phone by opening the main form source code (View > Code menu) and modifying the 'TO DO' items.
If you experience some troubles, please refer to the "Troubleshooting" section.
Please read these notes carefully – they are very important for a good SMSLibX programming practice!
If your VB6 application makes use of MsgBox and InputBox, please
note that VB6 suppresses events from timers, forms, controls and ActiveX
components while one of these dialogs is open.
Events are not simply delayed but definitively suppressed (please see Microsoft Knowledge Base 76557 article).
Due to this disagreeable behaviour, if a MsgBox is open your application may loose events notifying received messages - and any other event generated by SMSLibX.
As work-around, we suggest redefining the VB6 MsgBox function and replacing it with the MessageBox
API from Windows (which does not suppress events: please see Microsoft Knowledge Base 76557 article
for details).
A concrete MsgBox re-definition example is available in the source code of the Example2.
If your VB6 application cycles over a list of SMS messages to be sent - or
performs some other time-consuming operations - then you should provide a
statement in your loop (or time-consuming operaton).
This will permit SMSLibX to continue raising its events in real-time (such as received messages, delivery reports and modem status events).
Moreover, your SMSLibX event listeners (the code you write inside an event procedure) should never contain time-consuming operations, since SMSLibX relies on the event calling thread for further message capture and notification.
When opening the examples you might experience some troubles due to missing SMSLibX registration on your system.
Should the following errors appear:
please restore SMSLibX references as explained in the first part of this tutorial.
Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of SMSLibX Help.

I am finding the EOB Ordering tool to be very helpful in overcoming hesitation especially in fast moving markets!!
I'm sure I will buy more ninZa.co indicators in the future.
Thank you again for providing terrific support just as you promise on your website!
I am a trader with over 10 years pro trading experience. I use the ADX in my trading setup. I have purchased many indicators over the years and have never used any on them. I purchased Superior ADX/DMI of ninZa.co and although I thought the indicator was good I proposed a small change to the indicator that would improve it. They were kind enough to implement my changes. I can recommend Superior ADX/DMI as a genuine improvement on other ADX indicators, and ninZa.co as a company who cares about their customers.
I knew then ninZa.co was a high-quality organization and you just keep demonstrating that reality to me over and over.
Just got your new Supply/Demand Discovery and it is truly a great improvement over everything else on the market. It will take me days to determine the best values for the variables for my different charts, but it will be worth the effort.

Ethnic Groups of Oklahoma
This entry was originally written by Wendy Bebout Elliott Ph.D., FUGA for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Native American
Because of the federal government's removal policy, sixty-five different tribes have made their home in present-day Oklahoma. The sources for research are enormously varied from the kinds of materials generally associated with county-state record patterns. In addition to the sources held in the National Archives and its Southwest regional branch in Fort Worth (see page 12), materials for research on both natives and nonnatives who lived in the Twin Territories can be found at all agencies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (see page 16), including those in Anadarko, Ardmore, Concho, Okmulgee, Pawhuska, Pawnee, Miami, Shawnee, Tahlequah, Talihina, Wewoka, and Stewart. What is covered here are some general categories of records found regarding Native Americans in the state. For a more extensive and detailed discussion, see Blessing, Oklahoma Records and Archives, and Koplowitz, Guide to the Historical Records of Oklahoma (both cited under Background Sources for Oklahoma).
Research guides for specific Oklahoma Nations or tribes are available, such as:
Mooney, Thomas G. Exploring Your Cherokee Ancestry: A Basic Genealogical Research Guide. Tahlequah, Okla.: Cherokee National Historical Society, 1990.
Olsen, Monty. Choctaw Emigration Records. 2 vols. Calera, Okla.: Bryan County Heritage Association, 1990.
Sturtevant, William C. A Seminole Sourcebook. New York: Garland Publishing, 1987.
Some copies of census records on Native Americans are available at the Oklahoma Historical Society library and the FHL. These censuses are alphabetically arranged by BIA agency, then tribal name, and then date of enumeration. Since agency changes were made, a specific tribe may have been under the jurisdiction of two or more agencies. Beginning about 1916, the registration of individuals' names may be alphabetically arranged within the tribe's census schedule.
Land allotment records can be a valuable source of information about Native American ancestors. To obtain a parcel of land, each applicant had to include documentation of descent. Final rolls list those who received land allotments. When the land was to be sold or the individual had died, all heirs were identified since transfer of land required permission from all heirs. This data was usually registered in allotment or family registers. Later lists of heirs may be located in records entitled 'Heirship Records.' Each person is usually identified by age or birth date and relationship. Most allotted land eventually returned to tribal jurisdiction, for few individuals received patents to their holdings (see also Oklahoma Land Records).
Enrollment records, on which land allotments were based, were drawn up by the Dawes Commission for the Five Civilized Tribes. Under the Dawes Commission, information was abstracted onto data cards entitled Enrollments Cards for the Five Civilized Tribes: 1898'1914 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1981). Cards were made from both approved and rejected applications of Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole tribe members. Microfilm of these packets and records is available at the Oklahoma Historical Society, the National Archives, and the FHL. Original applications are housed at the National Archives'Southwest Region in Fort Worth. A guide and index to these records is included in the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes' publication, The Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory, 2 vols. (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office, n.d.).
Another valuable source is the Guion Miller records, which are contained on 348 reels of microfilm entitled Eastern Cherokee Applications of the U.S. Court of Claims, 1906'1909 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1981). A separate index is available for this collection of court records for individuals who applied for government compensation for lands confiscated from the Eastern Cherokees during the 1800s, east of the Mississippi River. Claims include data with documentation showing claimant's lineage back to the Eastern Cherokee. It was also required that the claimant prove no other tribal affiliation. Billy Dubois Edgington and Carol Anne Buswell, transcribed and edited a comprehensive work, Vital Information from the Guion Miller Roll (Court of Claims), 1906'1909 (Mill Creek, Wash.: Indian Scout Publications, 1998). This massive work is an alphabetical arrangement that includes surname, given names, Miller Roll application number, gender, married name of female applicant, birth year when available, birth state or territory, residence city, county, and state.
Second only to the National Archives in Native American research for Oklahoma is the Indian Archives Division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Included are federal and state government records and private collections, particularly the extensive work of Grant Foreman (also see Oklahoma Periodicals, Newspapers, and Manuscript Collections). The society's collection is listed and described in Lawrence Kelly, 'Indian Records in the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives,' The Chronicles of Oklahoma 54 (1976): 227-44. Other issues include data relating to the Native Americans in Oklahoma and their records. Among many such articles are 'Public Land Policy of the Five Civilized Tribes,' 23 (1945): 107-18; 'Provincial Indian Society in Eastern Oklahoma,' 23 (1945): 323-37; and 'Cherokee Allotments in the Outlet,' 59 (1981): 401-21.
The Archives and Manuscripts Division of the Oklahoma Historical Society has approximately three million pages and 6,000 bound volumes from Indian Agencies in Oklahoma for 1870 through 1930. The archives is the national repository for records of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations for the period 1860 through 1906. The archives also maintains agency records for Cheyenne, Pawnee, Quapaw, Chilocoo, Shawnee, Kiowa, and Arapaho as well as for the Cantonment agency. The Mekusukey Academy records and many special collections are also held there. There are 1,400 volumes of the Executive Library Cherokee Nation in the collection. The newspaper collection includes The Cherokee Advocate which began publication in 1844 in Indian Territory.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs, Muskogee Agency, 4th Floor, Federal Bldg., Muskogee, OK 74401, maintains records of the Cherokee and other tribes. The Cherokee Registration Office, P.O. Box 119, Tahlequah, OK, 74464, has records pertaining to the Cherokees. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, W.C.D. Office Complex, P.O. Box 368, Anadarko, OK 73005-0368, covers the Anadarko, Concho, Horton, Pawnee, and Shawnee Agencies.
The University of Oklahoma Library has many significant sources, including two manuscript collections for the Cherokee and the 'Duke Indian Oral History Collection.' A guide to the holdings is Donald L. Dewitt, American Indian Resource Materials in the Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma (Norman, Okla.: University of Oklahoma Press, 1990).
The Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art Library in Tulsa, Oklahoma, holds records pertaining to the Choctaw, Arapaho, and Cheyenne. The institute's older publication provides a guide to its collection: A Guidebook to Manuscripts in the Library of the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art (Tulsa, Okla.: The Institute, 1969).
A few selected private collections in the Indian Archives Division, Oklahoma Historical Society, include transcripts of the Office of Commissioner Indian Affairs and Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Grant Foreman transcripts, Frederick B. Severs Collection for the Creek Nation, Grant Foreman's numerous collections and WPA project interviews, John H. Adair Collection of early Cherokees, and the G. A. Root collection of newspaper clippings for Oklahoma Land openings.

Committee that oversaw Original Licensing Proceeding:
Karen Douglas, Chairman, Presiding Member
Jeffrey D. Byron, Commissioner, Associate Member
Hearing Officer: Ken Celli
Key Dates
- 3/14/08 - Application for Certification (AFC) filed with California Energy Commission
- 5/5/08 - Commission accepts Application for Certification (AFC) as complete.
- 4/1/09 - Commission staff releases Preliminary Staff Assessment.
- 10/22/09 - Commission staff releases Final Staff Assessment.

- 8/25/10 - Commission approves Application For Certification.
- 8/27/13 - License Terminated
Beacon Solar, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company is proposing to construct, own and operate the Beacon Solar Energy Project. The project is a concentrated solar electric generating facility proposed on an approximately 2,012-acre site in Kern County, California. The project will use well-established parabolic trough solar thermal technology to produce electrical power using a steam turbine generator (STG) fed from a solar steam generator (SSG). The SSG receives heated heat transfer fluid (HTF) from solar thermal equipment comprised of arrays of parabolic mirrors that collect energy from the sun.
The project will have a nominal electrical output of 250 megawatts (MW) and commercial operation is planned to commence by the third quarter of 2011, subject to timing of regulatory approvals and applicant achievement of project equipment procurement and construction milestones. The solar thermal technology will provide 100 percent of the power generated by the plant; no supplementary energy source (e.g., propane to generate electricity at night) is proposed to be used for electric energy production. The project will utilize two auxiliary boilers fueled by propane to reduce startup time and for HTF freeze protection. The auxiliary boilers will supply steam to the HTF freeze protection heat exchangers during nighttime hours to keep the HTF in a liquid state when ambient temperatures are not sufficient to keep the temperature of the HTF above its relatively high freezing point (54 degrees Fahrenheit). The project will also have a diesel fueled firewater pump for fire protection.
Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

Of Mice and Men
This 1939 film version of John Steinbeck's classic novel was a surprising choice for comedy producer Hal Roach; in fact, Roach had no intention of filming the property until forced to do so as a result of a lawsuit brought by director Lewis Milestone.
Burgess Meredith stars as itinerant farm worker George, who travels in with his cousin and best friend Lennie (Lon Chaney, Jr.). George dreams of saving enough money for a farm of his own, a dream shared by the retarded giant Lennie, who merely wants to tend the rabbits.
Unfortunately, George has never been able to stay at a job very long, thanks to the trouble often caused by Lennie's feeble-mindedness. Still, George is fiercely loyal to Lennie and would never think of deserting him.
Hired by rancher Oscar O'Shea, George and Lennie run afoul of the boss' belligerent son Curley (Bob Steele); his bored wife Mae (Betty Field) starts flirting with poor Lennie, who, not knowing his own strength, accidentally strangles the girl, leading to even more tragic consequences.
Despite being endlessly parodied in Warner Bros. and MGM cartoons (Which way did he, go George? Which way did he go?) Of Mice and Men retains its raw dramatic power. On its initial release, however, it proved a bit too powerful for many filmgoers, and it lost money. The highly acclaimed American composer Aaron Copland wrote the musical score.
The 1981 TV remake of Of Mice and Men starring Robert Blake and Randy Quaid, was a virtual scene-for-scene remake of the 1939 version.
The 1993 theatrical remake, starring Gary Sinise (who also directed) and John Malkovich, is perhaps closer to the source than its predecessors, but only time will tell if it attains the classic status of the Lewis Milestone version.

In a hurry? See What Is Karezza? or Lovers' Ultimate Sex Hack: Karezza.
"What strikes me the most about this whole process is how quick and dramatic the changes were for us. We went from being your typical 20-year married couple to completely open-hearted, always at the ready, 24x7 lovers, in a matter of days! This magnitude of change, occurring in such a short time frame cannot be the result of any sort of cognitive process; that can take years. This is clearly a neurochemical and/or hormonal related process. If there was a pill you could buy to do that, it would be on the front page of every magazine and in a t.v. commercial at every break. But since it's inside every one of us and free, we never hear about it. Such a shame....
From my recent experiments with non-orgasmic sex, I'm tempted to view orgasm and its associated hangover as "the matrix" (think the 1999 movie) whose effects marketers can use to manipulate us. It reminds me of this quote from the movie:
The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. … That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind.
For those who haven't experienced the difference between conventional fertilization-based sex and Karezza, that might sound like an extreme analogy, but the way orgasm changes my energy level, outlook, emotional state, availability for connection, satisfaction with my marriage, with life, etc. is so dramatic and essentially unconscious, I think the analogy fits."

Said one karezza practitioner:
Karezza seems like an expanded balloon to me. You can pressure it up to a certain level and play with it, but the trick is, don't over blow and don't release. Then intercourse can become a marvelous dance that has no real definable limits, except perhaps, not to reach orgasm. It just goes on and on, a beautiful joyous communion.
Another man replied:
I am glad you mentioned the balloon. Several years ago (before karezza) I used a balloon and a helium tank to explain to my wife how my orgasms worked. We would time our orgasms, so we could orgasm together, and sometimes when I was "ahead" of her I would need her to slow down (she was usually on top) to let me recover a bit. I would inflate the balloon until it almost popped and then release some of the helium and then I would refill it. I did this several times to show her how it worked. After several inflation/deflation cycles I let it fill up till it popped, BANG! BOOM! orgasm, dead balloon...... I did this to help her better understand how once I had my orgasm it was all over. "No more, done, finished, it's over, sorry about your luck." Now that we are practicing Karezza the balloon does get a bit inflated from time to time but being aware of what is happening an not "over-inflating" the balloon is what it is all about now. There is no more "done, finished, it's over, sorry about your luck," which is what we are finding to be the beauty of Karezza. Both of us come away feeling satisfied and bonded not leaving either one out in the cold, helpless, in need, and unsatisfied.

lack of kareeza in new relationship
After being told by a friend about this site I am very sad because I feel that I had this type of love making style with my x-husband of 21 yrs, but lack it now with my new partner of 2 years.
Feel free to
start a blog and tell us about it. If you want to introduce the concept to your partner, you might try this book: http://www.reuniting.info/tantric_sex_for_men_richardson or our book: http://www.reuniting.info/cupids_poisoned_arrow
Karezza info in spanish
Are either of these books, or any other materials available in spanish. I'm longing to try Karezza but I don't know how to explain why or how to my spanish-speaking husband.
Lack of kareeza in a new relationship
Your comment about being sad when you had this type of relationship with your previous partner made me sad also because I too had this with my last partner, who am no longer with. We are both in our sixties and even though I desired sex more than he did, he was the type to touch and caress without goal oriented sex.When we did have sex it was a wonderful satisfying experience. I became addicted to that closeness. Now I am wondering if I should go "cold Turkey" on even this type of relationship. I am not in a relationship now and the wall is going back up.
Sorry to hear that
Why don't you start a blog and tell us about it? Instructions: http://www.reuniting.info/resources/bloggers
Blue Balls
I am trying not to ejaculate. After three days my balls hurt so bad I have to release.
Maybe you'll find some useful ideas here:
If you haven't visited the Reddit FAQs on karezza,
How will my wife and I know when we are finished doing Kareeza if there are no orgasms?
have you tried Karezza?
after awhile there are other things to do and you pull out, snuggle for a bit and move on with your day or evening.
It never ends, that's what is so cool about it. It is never finished.
We have had orgasmless
We have had orgasmless intercourse many times over the last 25 years, just as a means of bonding, but never knew what it was called and never continued with it, always went back to having orgasms, which for us almost always are simultaneous.
[quote=Luv2fly]We have had orgasmless intercourse many times over the last 25 years.[/quote]
How did you know when your orgasmless intercourse was over? (as that was your original question).
My bad, there were no orgasms
My bad, there were no orgasms. We just bonded and it was pretty uneventful, and when it was over, it was over, kinda nice. A nice closeness and a nice feeling. I guess that is what Karezza is all about, I'm just not too sure about the whole 'no more o's ' concept. We are going to give it a try.
No more o's
[quote=Luv2fly], I'm just not too sure about the whole 'no more o's ' concept. We are going to give it a try.[/quote]
I'm not too sure, either; but it's well worth exploring.
Fluid Releases?
I am curious about the fluid releases my wife is now having. In the past when we had sex with orgasms she was never this wet. Now we have to put a towel under us to keep the sheets from getting wet. Lloyd mentions it in his book but I am still not too sure about it and what exactly brings it on. It doesn't happen every time we make love but it does happen most of the time. It usually happens after about 30 mins and sometimes it will happen again towards the end at about an hour or so. My wife says she doesn't know when or why it happens it just does. I always know when it does as I get this wonderful warm flow all around the base of my penis and on my scrotum. It is a beautiful thing, that's for sure. In the beginning she was a little embarrassed by it because she thought she was making a huge mess, but I have reassured her it is fine, I love it, and so now she is OK with it. I am sure it is perfectly normal but I wonder why it has just begun since we started Karezza, any thoughts?
Just goes with the territory
for many lovers. More relaxed? More open? Dunno.
Fluid Releases?
Dear Luv2fly ,
It is perfectly normal the release of more and more Yoni fluid in Karezza in comparison to normal sex. The reason is that your partner feels so much pleasure and bliss in the whole act and not just once but many times during a session Love making . I have also experinced the same with my partner and we both really enjoyed it a lot.
Are all couples supposed to be heterosexual?
I was interested in the site and topic but unfortunately I feel like the information is very hetero biased. Many folks in the GLBTQ community might have interest in this subject but it seems like all the articles are written assuming that practitioners will be man/woman couples. Is this site just for straight people? If so does anyone know of a good site that has similar topic but is more open to gender variations and other sexualities?
"Take what you can use and leave the rest"
Sorry, I don't know of such a site, but if you find one, let us know.
Also, if you and your partner want to explore your version of karezza, we're happy to add your experiences to Karezza Korner. See http://www.reuniting.info/node/10664.
BTW, not sure "bias" is the right word, but I take your point.
many Os
I have been a solo karrezza practionor for many years (unbeknown at the time) and found the magic of not having an orgasm so benifical . My question is ..i now have a sexual partner who is very orgasm driven yet i am able to prolong mine owing to my practice yet she is fixated on me having one , the thing is i have several internal orgasms and sometimes it feels as though i have ejaculated but its not its like air so i was wonderong if anyone knows what this sensation is ?
I don't know the answer
but I'm sorry your partner is so shortsighted. Can you help get her educated? Maybe she'd like to read one of these articles:
i have explained the cocept
i have explained the cocept of karrezza to her but alas i feel shes not interested so i may have to move on and leave it at that.Thankyou for the rading suggestions
were you/are you edging?
Are you saying that you were not having an orgasm when you masturbated? This is usually a form of edging, which has a lot of the same neurochemical results on the brain that orgasm does.
If you have internal orgasms, it can be that you've learned to have an orgasm without ejaculation which men can learn and maybe that's what you've learned.
Not sure what your partner is wanting you to do? Women do love to entice the sperm out of a man. It's built into women's programs, just as us guys love to "make a woman come" (which is nonsense but it's how we look at it.)
yes i rarely orgasmed when
yes i rarely orgasmed when masterbating i was practicing karrezza without knowing thats what i was doing until i came across this site and then i knew . she just wants me to come says its not normal even though i explain how great it feels not to i even try to keep her at the edge but alas she spills over . oh well some just dont know whats good for them. i have purchased the book and am looking forward to reading it as i seem to be doing a lot of the bathing rituals without knowing why . thanks again for your reply
Yes, karezza is one of those things
that has to be experienced to be believed in today's sexual climate.
But your girlfriend isn't entirely correct. For example, there are other primates that also have a fair amount of sex without ejaculation. So it may turn out that it's not weird at all for humans to have sex without going for ejaculation constantly...especially given the fact that we're pair-bonders and thrive on daily affection.
I have just recieved the
I have just recieved the journey to paradise and it is a wonderfull book well researched easy to read but most of all it has answered so many questions about what i have been feeling on a deep level . As Leigh martin says 'its like coming home'.
To any one thinking of purchasing this book I highly recommend it as a brilliant guide to a balanced & full life ..
What about putting a review
Advise for controlling a woman's release
We have been practicing the art of reserving our sexual chi for a few months now. We were drawn to this work through Gnosticism, which is in alignment with our spiritual focus. This piece of coitus reservatus (in my opinion) being the missing link to the potential of full awakening.
My husband is quite skilled in the holding or control of his release. However, I am still learning. I would love to hear any feedback, exercises, or advise from women who have conquered this in themselves- How to gain control over the that which I was once glorified for-and prevent myself from going over the falls- so-to-speak. Since initiating this practice my experiences have shifted to a much deeper more internal experience yet still a quivering or spasm that I would very much like to direct. Thank you in advance for your offerings.
That's a good question. Do you feel like you're trying to fight yourself?
My intuition is that you might like Diana Richardson's book "Tantric Orgasm for Women." It's title is misleading. It's all about feeling your sexual energy at its most subtle level. Paradoxically, that sometimes helps it from "shorting out" in a reflex orgasm.
Thank you Marnia
Thank you Marnia
To answer your question- no I am not fighting myself, I believe it's more like not really knowing myself, the line between the building up to the peak and the spilling over the edge is very thin and yes over the last few years, before our journey an understanding of the control of sexual force, my orgasms had gotten to the place of short circuit, or fizzle out. I have analyzed this and have an understanding of perhaps why and now feel I just need to reconnect or go into myself to discover the subtleties or signals telling me that I am there or better yet getting close. As of now the rhythm has been inconsistent.
Thank you for the recommendation I will get this book. I have been all over the web looking for the right books, which is what led me to your site. Honestly, am less drawn to Tantric books because I am never sure what form the author is practicing . Yes this title would have definitely been over looked by me.
Have you ever thought of having a social event in Ashland?
If you do please let me know it would be wonderful to connect with like minded couples and community members.
Wow has this q and a page been around for awhile?
I really like it. Helps when I reference it
Yes it has
I keep adding to it. It's full of useful insights isn't it? My visitors are amazing.
trouble getting started
I came across this site and after reading many entries, ordered the book and read it in just a couple days. This is what I have been searching for my whole life! I am a former heavy porn user, there was a period in marriage where I didn't even want to have sex with my husband, I would rather look at porn and masterbate. After coming across this book, everything seems to make more sense to me. After Living in confusion it seems I have found a way out. I am completely willing to try karezza, and yearn to do so. The only problem is my husband doesn't seem to want anything to do with it. He won't read Cupids Poisoned Arrow, or anything from this site about it. We have started the exchanges, and have only done two so far, but he puts them off, and acts as if they were a chore. I asked him to stop whatching porn and masterbating, which he was doing on a daily basis. Now with no orgasms he feels I am trying to take away all his pleasures. I feel bad when he says this and feel like I need to "reward" him by giving him some sexual favor without orgasm. I think karezza would help our relationship and overall being immensely, but am having trouble getting started. Any suggestions or tips would be very appreciated!
yeah it's tough but...
you are better off pursuing this path on your own. He will join you when he joins you. By being cooler and having longer sex with no orgasm you can start building on those feelings and connection that you yearn for and you can have it. Without having to pressure him. I don't think that pressure is ever a good idea, tempting though it is.
I would simply not come, and when he tries to increase sexual intensity, have him slow down...avoid a lot of clitoral stimulation...avoid accepting oral sex, avoid his manual stimulation of your pussy...you want to have a lot of cuddling and intercourse in positions that are not overly stimulating.
it will take you some time to regain your sensitivity and the more you can focus your attention on your vagina and just keep your attention there, focused on that, opening up to him, taking him in, just focusing there all the time, the more sensation you will feel and the greater the connection you will feel. You can meditate on this focus as often as possible and get really good at it.
You can draw sensation and pleasure up into your whole body and have the most amazing sex. And you go slow, so he lasts a lot longer...and at some point he may decide to not orgasm for awhile.
Maybe he'd like to read this
Guys Who Gave Up Porn: On Sex and Romance
There's plenty of sexual pleasure ahead. He just has to cross The Void to get there.
when to start?
We started With bonding behaviors which always led to sex, but we held off orgasm me for almost four weeks then him just over two weeks. This has really opened him up to the idea of wanting to really give karezza a sincere try. I am just a little confused on when we should start the exchanges. Should we wait until we are out of the passion cycle, and then start? Or would we be able to start a day or two after having orgasms?
Start any time
They have a two week non-intercourse period built into them and that gets most people past the ripples. Have fun!
thank you.
Thank you Marnia! This has already helped me in so many ways
Glad to hear it
Keep a sense of humor...because you have to coax your sexuality into a new pattern. You can't let detours bother you.
womens' orgasms
I have practiced this for about five years and am now able to control my orgasms almost entirely. It has been wonderful for my partner, who climaxes over and over again every time we make love. Contrary to the Karezza theory, that does not diminish her desire or enjoyment whatsoever, even though it clearly does for me. On the contrary, because she knows it will always be good for her, her sex drive and enjoyment are high. I am an older guy, so infrequent orgasms help me to maintain my capacity and desire. This "modified Karezza" has been wonderful. She has all the orgasms she desires, and I am pleased to "give" them to her.
pretty much what we do too
my wife has an occasional orgasm and doesn't try to have them or not. I try to avoid them. It seems to work really, really well.
orgasms, messenger substances in the male body
For my part, beeing karezza- male, of course I prefer not to have an orgasm too often.
But my wife, beeing much younger, sometimes does not want to slow down, so it happens to me too.
But, never mind! If you are a man, and always practicing long sessions "riding the wave" , you have aquired such a high level of messengers and hormones in your body, that you do not fall into the usual state of fatigue which happens to a man not karrezzing. Even if orgasm "happens" once or twice a week. While we have sex every day.
It is the constant high level of the messenger substances that make you feel like beeing "high" all the time.
The man can maintain this state, even if his darling has several orgasms. If she wants.
In this I do not agree with some comments who said here, that they "spare" two weeks without uniting. This is not what I understand of a healthy life.
Because: prostate health is highly dependent of frequent excitation. I did not know 60 years ago when I began "karezza", but many scientists do know to-day.
Of course the man does have to organize many things and details around his house and also his life
Do it!
Anyone here from Berlin
