except in those cases when accidental awakening of profound altered states of consciousness occurs. This experiment prepares you to approach the orgasm from the more wakeful perspective of the magician. At night, in a partially darkened room, bring yourself to orgasm using whatever method suits your preference. The only condition is that you do not use any external visual stimulation as an aphrodisiac agent, since you'll need to he centered on what's going on within your mind. The hours of darkness, as we have explained, are said to be reigned over by the Feminine Daemonic, according to the traditional left-hand path teachings. Nocturnal workings also 362 allow you to concentrate more fully on your internal landscape, whereas light draws the attention away from the self. This is one of the many underlying reasons why sinister current magicians in every culture have always been attracted to the symbolism of darkness. Concentrate on that six to ten second period of orgasm with an attention you have never previously brought to bear upon it. Some of the questions you should try to remain alert to are: What have you never noticed before about the orgasm's effect on your mind? What exact thoughts or impressions manifested in your mind during orgasm? Each individual magician will undergo entirely different mental phenomena. Some will notice that entirely trivial thoughts, meaningless fragmentary sentences or seemingly absurd images flash into the mind during climax. Others may experience intensely realistic but fleeting erotic hallucinations. Perhaps there will be an absence of psychic content altogether. At this point, the actual results are less important than the fact of your keen observation of them. The very act of focusing your attention on a phenomenon you normally take for granted subtly begins to change it. This step will eventually allow you to proceed to actually shaping the orgasm for magical purposes. Central to the magical principles of the left-hand path is the concept that if a magician can separate his or her consciousness from a given occurrence, he or she can also control it. Experiments with autoeroticism as a consciousness-changing agent should then be engaged in with eyes closed, while seated in a position that allows the spine to be held upright. This posture reinforces the desired physiological conditions of wakefulness and concentration that are easily lost when attaining arousal and orgasm in a prone position. Practice maintaining a calm, deliberately detached state of mind, while periodically observing the exact nature of your orgasmic state of consciousness, an inner event which manifests differently for each of us. At first, it may prove difficult to remain sexually excited while simultaneously assuming an attitude of detachment from yourself, but with repetition this balance can be achieved. The goals here are fairly clear-cut. The first is to simply develop an automatic ability for lucid perception of the stages of your own sexual arousal and climax that are normally obscured by sexual excitement. Secondly, you will he aiming to build up the faculty of sustaining unwavering psychic pointedness and attention even during the distracting trauma of the orgasm. Initial attempts should be made to prolong the pre-orgasmic plateau for as long as possible. More rigorous training in extending the duration of orgasm is best conducted with the assistance of a qualified teacher; this exercise is only an experimental beginning, designed to test your own capabilities. Once you have experimented with your own ability to utilize autoerotic sorcery, it's also useful to conduct autoerotic experiments in 363 tandem with another skilled magician. Some very effective workings have been carried out in this manner. For example, when both parties are separated by a long distance, coordinating a synchronized time to work towards a mutual goal can be beneficial. Similarly, this can be undertaken with a trusted accomplice by telephone. This method can be very effective for a number of
easons. Because direct sensory contact between initiates is limited to only the auditory, all of the other senses become slightly more heightened, in much the same way as one who has lost his or her sight then finds an increased clarity in the remaining senses. Because the heightening of sensory awareness during a working is one of the key factors in its effectiveness, this is yet another means of achieving that goal. (This practice also makes for a surprisingly effective prelude to some of the unsettling phenomena of sex magic performed with a partner during the out-of-body experience.) One final example of the dual autoerotic working is when the two partners are together, face to face. Although this would not qualify for the usual left-hand path rite melding of sexual fluids and energies via coitus, it can be a potent alternative. The advantages to this method are the heightened sensory and sexual stimulation of being in each other's company during the rite and yet remaining separate entities. It's also often easier to synchronize both orgasms to occur at exactly the same moment for the simple reason that each party knows what they need to do to prolong and control their climax. In this case, the sexual fluids may still be commingled immediately afterwards by way of a talisman or other object which is significant to the working. Autoerotic Orgasm Prolongation The skill of orgasm prolongation is actually focused on prolonging the state immediately prior to the orgasm. The most immediately evident sign of orgasm prolongation in both genders is obviously that the wave of climactic pleasure continues past the usual threshold. However, since the body's apprehension of pleasure can be an extremely subjective phenomenon, you will need to take more objective physiological differences into account as well. When the female orgasm commences, for instance, the vagina typically begins to contract rhythmically, with each clenching action lasting for approximately one second. Integrating deep breathing into autoerotic exercises can very often allow women to significantly increase the number of vaginal contractions, which will be accompanied by an extension of orgasmic pleasure. By prolonging the pre-orgasmic state, these clenching actions become noticeably slower than during the usual orgasm, with each contraction lasting a few seconds. By continuing deep breathing and relaxation, in opposition to the body's tendency to resist the feeling of "letting go" that often hastens the orgasmic response, some women can prolong the pre-orgasmic phase for 364 many minutes, even as long as a half-hour to an hour or more before actually climaxing. After becoming more skilled at this technique the female adept will find that the contractions during the eventual orgasm are longer and spaced farther apart than a normal orgasm, thus creating a prolonged orgasm. When you first reach this plateau of pleasure, it can seem almost excruciating, a strange mixture of pain/pleasure that in itself sometimes discourages women from continuing in this state. In your initial attempts to prolong the pre-orgasmic phase, one must become accustomed to the added intensity that a longer build-up to climax brings, which is of such a different nature than the short, sharp burst of pleasure we usually encounter in everyday sexuality. This then transcends strictly physical response and becomes a matter of strengthening the will to open one's body up to previously unexpected levels of pleasure. Here you will begin to approach an understanding that the average experience of sex is of little use to the sinister current – much more powerful states of erotic energy are needed. The untrained mind's automatic inclination to pull back from altered states of consciousness and settle hack into comfortable normalcy is the main force that stands in the way of orgasm prolongation. If you can endure the first few minutes of prolonged orgasm, you will notice that the pleasure sharpens and recedes, ebbing like the flow of waves. Sexual arousal remains in a ever-rising state of excitatory tension,
