On this episode, unlocking better stamina and better sexual
strength with high intensity andlow intensity zones in your
edging practice. This is the Holistic Alpha Male
Optimization podcast where we help you unleash your true power
(00:22):
as a man. Hey guys, welcome back to the
show. I'm Stephen Mathis.
Thanks for being here, being a part of this tribe.
Let's talk about something that will take a little bit of
explanation but is very simple really.
And it's something you can bringinto your edging practice that
will help you both develop better stamina and control and
(00:45):
also more strength. Now to lay the foundation of why
this will do both of those things, there's something we
need to understand 1st and for some of you guys, this might
already make sense to you. For some of it may it may be
new, but it's really a two-part truth. 1 is that the more sexual
(01:08):
energy we have flowing through us, the more it's going to
charge that up, right? So the more that we practice,
the more that we edge, the more that we have sex in general, the
more it's going to ramp up the charge and power of that flow,
(01:28):
right? When it comes to our edging
practice, not all edging is the same in terms of how much it's
going to boost that charge. And that charge of course, is
going to apply to not only very sexual specific things like your
libido and your erections, but it applies in all the ways that
kind of feeds into our life. All edging is not necessarily
(01:51):
the same. When we are at a very high
arousal level, there's much moreenergy flowing through.
Makes sense, right? It's obvious enough.
You feel that when you're reallyaroused, there's more energy.
The reason it becomes harder to control is because there's more
energy flowing through. So the thing that we need to
(02:14):
understand as it relates to highintensity zones and low
intensity zones is we need to understand that the more time in
our edging practice we spend in a state of high arousal, the
more it's going to tend to boostthat charge.
Now it doesn't mean by any stretch of the imagination.
(02:35):
Let me be very clear that that doesn't mean that we're going to
be served by having that be our focus 100% of the time.
Not at all. There's tremendous value in
working with sort of moderate arousal level.
And in fact, one of the best things we can do for stamina is
actually practice being at a moderate arousal level, staying
(02:56):
really relaxed but continuing tostimulate.
But let's talk about this being at a high arousal level, because
it does. There's more energy flowing, so
when we can spend time in that area, a lot of energy is going
to get pushed into the system and move through the system,
(03:16):
which means the practice itself in that very moment might be
more pleasurable, even more awesome.
It also means it's going to feedinto the charge of your sexual
being in all the ways that that plays out, right?
Here's the other thing is, not only is there more energy that's
flowing through during that time, that's also the best time
(03:40):
to practice and develop control.Because if we can sort of hone
in on a finer level of control in those higher arousal levels,
it gives us better control over all, whether in that higher
arousal level or not. In essence, that's the hardest
time to have control. So if we can find ways to work
(04:03):
with that hardest time to have control and harness the
challenge of that really by learning some things and working
with it and developing A finer, more nuanced kind of control,
it's going to feed into the control that we have all of the
time. Let's get to high intensity
zones and low intensity zones. Here's how this can help.
(04:24):
So if we want to inner edging practice, if we're going to have
the intention that OK, I want toexperiment with really working
with that high level of arousal and have a finer level of
control that allows me to stay in that zone longer.
And also to actually connect with it a little more deeply, to
(04:44):
connect with it on the little, yeah, little finer grain kind of
control, right? Here's how high intensity zones
and low intensity zones can help.
If you're just stroking in the normal way, you're stimulating
both high and low intensity zones.
You're stimulating all of it at the same time.
Thus, it's harder to control. It's all being stimulated.
(05:08):
That's going to make it very difficult to have that nuance
kind of control. If we dial that back and we only
stimulate part of our body, if we're only stimulating part of
our cock, you're going to have adifferent kind of response.
So high intensity zones in general are going to basically
be the head and the frenulum, which is that little kind of
(05:30):
structure on the underside that it's almost like a little
ridgeline right on the underside.
Those are in general going to bethe two high intensity kind of
zones for most guys. You may also find that there's
particular spots on your shaft that are also very high
intensity zones. And then a low intensity zone
(05:52):
for most guys is going to be therest of the shaft.
It's much lower intensity. So if you are stimulating only a
high intensity zone with something like little circles
with your thumb or your fingers on the head, for example, or on
the frenulum, or you're only stimulating the low intensity
zone where you're on the shaft but you're not touching the
(06:13):
head. What you've done is you've
dialed back the amount of overall stimulation and now
you're going to be able to have a little bit finer control.
I have heard from so many guys, not only guys who have heard
this from me, but guys who have found their way to similar kind
of practices on their own, that when we find various ways to
(06:37):
have kind of reduced sensitivityedging, it gives us this control
where we can tap more into that really high arousal level.
And even if it's not really highin terms of being close to like
the edge of going over the edge,it we can tap into a more
powerful place with less risk ofgoing over the edge in an
(07:01):
undesired way at an undesired time if we can kind of reduce
the sensitivity. So the way to put this into
practice is very, very simple. When you're in your edging
practice, spend some time doing a couple of different things.
Stimulate only the head, only maybe the fennel in that very
small kind of zone, that high intensity zone, and leave the
(07:24):
rest alone. And then do the reverse where
you're only on the shaft. One thing to be very aware of is
that especially if you start to if you start to get to that high
level of arousal and you want tocontinue stimulating in as close
to normal a way as possible and practice having control in those
(07:47):
moments and moving through that.One of the best things you can
do is stimulate on the shaft only and not on the head.
Now it might be kind of hard. Actually, it sounds super
simple, like why would that be hard?
But it's so habitual and especially in the moment, it can
be hard for a lot of guys to to kind of like leave that part
(08:07):
alone and stay on the shaft only.
But that can be so beneficial. So play around with two things
really. Here's the the action items out
of this. Number one is the understanding,
because if you don't understand in your own body what is a high
intensity zone and what is a lowintensity zone and how your body
responds to both, then how you going to put this into practice.
(08:29):
And as you understand that, and it's not like 1 and then the
other, it's kind of both at the same time.
As you understand that more and more, you practice doing one or
the other or both. Because again, it will help you
have that finer level of controlat that high level of arousal,
which is going to definitely build your stamina and control.
And it's going to definitely send more energy pumping through
(08:53):
your system. I promise.
I would love to hear your comments, your feedback on this.
I know a lot of you guys, again,guys that have heard it from me
as well as guys who have found their way to it on their own.
A lot of guys are using like those little thumb circles or
you're using these techniques ormaybe even edging through
clothing, which is not somethingthat I've really talked about to
(09:15):
this point in this episode. But that's another way where you
can reduce that overall sensitivity is to go through
some kind of fabric or clothing,right?
So in general, when we can find ways to stimulate at a reduced
overall sensitivity, it's going to help you have more nuanced
control at those higher level oflevels of arousal.
(09:35):
And the more practice that you get in that area, you're going
to have better control and it's going to just charge up your
system even more. So thanks again for being a part
of this tribe. I really appreciate you guys
have an amazing rest of your night, your day, whenever it is
that you're listening to this keep stacking talk to you soon.

small group of guys aligned withyou energetically, with similar
goals, challenges, vibe. We grow together.
It's all protected by an NDA. Every guy signs an NDA.
So it is a private space. We work on this stuff together.
(10:18):
I would love for you to join us.Groups are forming right now.
They will not be forming forever.
This round is going to close relatively soon.
Next time it's going to be more expensive and next time won't be
today. And things don't change until
they change. So join us.
