Well, rman, Girl Next Door, and Belle suggested that I keep you updated...and since I'm pretty new to this, I thought it might help to see what you all have to say about my progress too...
When you last heard from me, I was asking for advice on self-denial. I'm able to make myself come without touching myself at all, so making the decision to take my hands away was never enough...I needed to know how to take better control of my body. After working on all of your suggestions, I've been able to identify exactly what my body does when I come. As I get closer to orgasm, I spread my legs, lean my head back, arch my back, rhythmically tense and relax my stomach to rock my hips, hold my breath, and of course feel my pussy clenching as if warning me that the orgasm is coming. When I actually do come, I hold my breath before letting it out in a whimper, throw my head back before letting it fall forward, keep my stomach tensed, and bend my legs and pull them closer to my body...and depending on my technique and position, I either spread them wider or clamp them shut when I come, and I haven't quite figure out what causes the difference in reactions. I've found that disrupting these actions can hold off orgasm, although some actions work better than others. I've had the most success with straightening my legs rather than letting myself pull them up, and breathing slow and deep rather than holding my breath...but it seems that even if I disrupt all my usual rhythms and don't touch myself at all, I can still make myself come just by continuing to tense my stomach and allowing my pussy to clench...and since it's the least voluntary of all these actions, it's also the hardest to stop. I needed a solution.
