high state of stimulation before achieving orgasm, the more powerful the<br />
working will be.<br />
For that reason, it's important that you have a very clear idea of what<br />
you personally find sexually exciting, and that you practice keeping yourself<br />
in an aroused state for as long as possible. Remember that this may be more<br />
of a challenge than it seems, since it is crucial that you simultaneously<br />
establish a very high level of mental concentration and focus while<br />
continually pushing your plateau of erotic tension higher. Male sex magicians<br />
have sometimes expressed the misconception that it's necessary to have many<br />
orgasms during a working. Although multi-orgasmic capabilities might serve<br />
some specific magical operations, it's usually preferable at first to focus the<br />
attention on one very powerful orgasm that brings the working to a definitive<br />
closure than dissipating the gathered energies in many separate climactic<br />
events.<br />
<strong>The</strong> typical orgasm, for men and woman alike, usually lasts no more<br />
than six to ten seconds. Through experiment, male magicians will notice that<br />
this period of climax is customarily accompanied by four to six contractions<br />
of the penis, which release different mixtures of prostratic fluid and semen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> accomplished magician can easily vividly imagine his or her intended<br />
magical outcome in that time, by paring the desired occurrence down to its<br />
clearest and most easily grasped imagery or verbal expression. <strong>The</strong> beginning<br />
sex magician often relinquishes control over his or her working at this point,<br />
losing sight of the exact magical aim in the waves of pleasure released by the<br />
orgasm. <strong>The</strong>se are the physical/mental phenomena that the sex magician first<br />
seeks to control in his or her own body, an authority over the flesh which<br />
allows the normal erotic experience to be transformed into a more effective<br />
magical tool.<br />
Autoerotic Exercises<br />
Many a neophyte sex magician, eager to jump into the licentious orgies that<br />
they have always heard were an integral part of sex magical practice, has<br />
been quite disappointed to learn that sex magical training begins with<br />
autoerotic exercises. However, considering that left-hand path sex magic is so<br />
centered on self-knowledge and self-control, it is appropriate to begin with<br />
the sexual energies of the self before moving on to the more complex<br />
interactions of sex magic with partners. (And no, you need not restrict your<br />
autoerotic manipulations to your left hand only.)<br />

In that the final aim of left-hand path sex magic is self-deification,<br />
many an aspirant has skipped the hard work of remanifesting one's being in<br />
progressive stages and jumped ahead to merely proclaiming him/herself a<br />
divinity in the flesh. It hardly needs to be said that with so high an aim<br />
megalomania is the most common psychic danger of the sinister current. If<br />
the left-hand path was a physical road, it would be littered with the burnt-out<br />
wrecks of all those who crashed at full speed into their own self-delusions.<br />
To begin the process of understanding and undoing the seductive spell of<br />
maya upon the evanescent stuff of the mind, a gradual revelation of the<br />
hidden workings of reality that may ultimately lead the initiated percipient to<br />
discover the mystery of his or her own divine identity, we will begin with the<br />
most simple of maya-shaping methods – autoerotic experiment.<br />
Although the left-hand path is defined by the interaction of two contrasexual<br />
energies – of both a biological and spiritual nature – the work begins in<br />
solitude. A very common misconception is that autoerotic sex magic is only a<br />
beginner's technique. In fact, masturbation workings remain an important<br />
aspect of the experienced sex magician's repertoire. It could be argued that<br />
the "selfish," self-centered nature of autoeroticism – which must not be<br />
confused with the delusional glorification of the superficial ego persona –<br />
lends itself particularly well to the individuating goals of the left-hand path.<br />
