I agree. It would be dreadful if I were to have children. I saw a movie about it, a doumentary, with Arnold. It worked out for him.
Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.

@RawGoatMilk88 that’s true and that’s what I practice but you can still get a girl pregnant via an unexpected ejaculation, or possibly leakage of semen in you have ejaculated recently and then have intercourse.
I'm totally understanding of the need for physical contact between penis and vagina and condoms ruin that. But I think condoms are the safest approach other than having intercourse during a woman's period which is also safe and does not require condoms but can be a little icky on the high flow days.

I don't thrust that way though and as you more sort of dwell inside her, you begin regaining more sensation over a few months and sex becomes incredible, especially if you refrain from having an ejaculatory orgasm each time you have sex.
Interesting...I haven't gone that far yet. Selling it to her might be a bit weird, since otherwise she might get insecure about my not having had an orgasm (in the usual way).
But I'll have to get around to trying it at some point if we're to spend decades together.
I have been practicing at going for something like an hour, the results of which are difficult to dispute for her. But this is somewhat different.
How did you go about introducing it to her? Assuming it was your idea.
Anything I should watch out for, if trying that out?
It was my idea. I just said as we were starting, “I’m not going to come today,” and that was that. Eventually she followed and did what I am doing. It’s pretty amazing and the old way holds no attraction.

What is PM and ME dieting? Thanks
I think you're referring to what I wrote? PM is pro metabolic, and ME is my diagnosis, often called ME/CFS internationally, but it's often just called ME in my country so I forgot to add the /CFS.
Thank you.
@yerrag said in Is higher metabolism good for longetivity?:
It seems to me that the study only says that people get to have higher TSH levels as they get older. This is not the same as saying people having higher TSH levels get to live longer.
Agreed.

@Ecstatic_Hamster I think he's right. As he views TSH as the lower the better, consistent with the idea that the less stressful conditions, the less the need for stress hormones such that zero be ideal.
He has talked if calcitriol, the active vitamin D hormone being one. Others -
PTH
Cortisol
Adrenaline (though I'm not certain)
Estrogen (though I don't think zero is good)Though he hasn't said so, my personal take is that insulin is a stress hormone as well.
Yes, but if he’s right about that, then why are people who are exceptionally long lived having higher TSH levels? Again I want to emphasize that this one study I cited is just one of several.
Peat was similarly absolute when it comes to estrogen as you know. And yet we have always found that we don’t feel well if estrogen is too low. Everything is a balance and it makes sense that that balance changes as we get older in order to compensate for aging processes.

@Ecstatic_Hamster said in Is higher metabolism good for longetivity?:
there are a number of similar studies that show higher TSH correlates with extreme old age.
I think that there may be more at play. Old people have low thyroid activity and lower metabolic rate. Perhaps the ones with higher TSH who are very old have lower stress hormones. Dr. Peat said that stress hormones can lower TSH. There is evidence that this is wrong. I'm interested in investigating this.
I remember differently on TSH. I recall Pest saying TSH as a stress hormone, and that the lower it is the better.
yes I recall him saying that too. He may have been wrong?

Conclusions: The TSH population shifts to higher concentrations with age appear to be a continuum that extends even to people with exceptional longevity.The inverse correlation between TSH and FT4 in our populations suggests that changes in negative feedback may contribute to exceptional longevity.
I'm not buying this. I consider the basis the medical system uses to determine the state of the thyroid all flawed, bases on Peat's views.
Here, they make the conclusion that the higher the TSH, the longer lived a person is, which you are well aware to not be in keeping with Peat's views on it.
It doesn’t say what you’re saying. It just says that testing people who are very old their TSH tends to be higher than people that die earlier.
@foobarbaazquux said in Any recommended works on the practice of sex?:
@Ecstatic_Hamster Thank you for your answers.
For what it's worth, I've found that the changing of the cervix position during the menstrual cycle can cause pain issues in certain positions at certain times of month. This is something I've got to work out one way or another. It's probably just a feature of overly aggressive technique. Your point about extreme acts makes sense to me too, as it is the only way I see that a relationship might last for many decades on end: there is a finite number of such adrenergic acts one can do anyways. If we think that the human lifespan is not theoretically bounded, but only bounded by limitations in the environment, the correct attitude here becomes of paramount importance.
I've been implementing some of what I've found from your various posts for a month or so now with success in terms of heightened pleasure and attachment.
Do you think it may be possible to use a form of birth control besides condoms or the various industrial poisons, so as to enjoy this kind of thing without condoms? If what you say about longevity and contentment is true, such a practice would enhance both. I have heard some esoteric stuff about using lactation/breastfeeding, for example, as a form of birth control by way of how it affects oxytocin levels which prevents ovulation.
What might you say is the ideal number of hours for a session? Is there some kind of function that could estimate it based on, say, age?
Oh, and what do you make of the fact that humans tend to mate in private (vs many other animals)?
you are absolutely right about cervix position. I don't thrust that way though and as you more sort of dwell inside her, you begin regaining more sensation over a few months and sex becomes incredible, especially if you refrain from having an ejaculatory orgasm each time you have sex.
I don't know of any other method of birth control besides condoms that isn't icky on the body. You can get this type of glue used in theater to keep the condom on your penis and then you aren't worrying about it falling off. It can be very pleasurable to spend a long time having intercourse and the penis tends to harden and soften and you don't want to worry about condoms in any event, and this makes it so you don't have to. Still shitty, but not as shitty as having her take dangerous pills or IUD etc.
I see this as discovering the existing program in the brain that I call the oxytocin track, and this becomes more and more of a thing in life, that gets you and your partner to be more and more into each other, but in a healthy way, and can keep a relationship amazing for many decades. It isn't anything to try for. It already lays in your body and brain as a possibility.
We don't find the oxytocin track because it isn't as obvious and every sexual trigger around us is telling us to do the opposite -- what I call the dopamine track, where we find flaws in our partner, where we want other people, constantly dissatisfied, always wanting more and never wanting what we already have.
I have found this type of sex (where you spend lots of time in intercourse and don't cum as often) leads to sexual abundance which leads to material abundance. You literally attract more wealth to you when you are wealthy sexually. And you get more happiness, by far, by far. Nothing like it.
@josh great to hear and thank you for continuing to comment on your journey. It helps me and I'm sure all of us.
@ThinPicking you didn't get sick in the last 4 or 5 years and you don't know anyone who did? That's amazing. Congratulations, that's quite an accomplishment.
@foobarbaazquux said in Any recommended works on the practice of sex?:
I’m always ready.
What of the female menstrual cycle, what is the effect on all of this?
Does the "energy flow" have a purpose beyond itself?
Are there implications for more correct physical acts?
Is there any relation between this process or conception, or are they instead incidental? If yes, what is the effect?
What is the cause of the fact that most concepts of sex today (90%, you said) are wrong?
I don't think menstruation affects this really. When my partner was still menstruating we just used that time to have unprotected intercourse because otherwise I used condoms for birth control.
Condoms suck bigtime for this type of sex but they can be used. They do interfere with the energy flow.
I'm not sure how this may relate to conception. When we had our children I wasn't practicing this way.
The cause of 90% info being wrong is that there are so many forces in our world that benefit from our sexual energy dissipating, especially male sexual energy. Masculinity is said to be toxic, and T levels have dropped like a stone as TPTB encourage men to be alone on their phone, masturbating instead of having partner sex.
The so-called gurus all talk about more and more extreme sex acts and the answer to sexual boredom is "spice it up, try something new" but that quickly gets old too. Relationships are always, always, always dying from the wrong type of sex, because nature causes us to be attracted to novel partners and to become bored with our partner. The negative fallout from sex is never discussed.
But in this type of sex I practice, it just is so great, so amazing you never get tired of it or of your partner. It keeps getting better. It is a program that is in our brains to run, but we don't run it because we don't know it exists.
I always thought a low heart rate was from having a big heart. Isn't that the case? Work out and your heart grows bigger and has to beat slower at rest. Am I missing something? Dr. Peat said the same thing.
I think a HR in the 70s is good for a middle aged adult or older adult because it indicates good thyroid function. I'm not sure there is any benefit to it. It is a sign of healthy metabolic rate, or can be.
If you look at the studies, many times higher HR is associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Because people with a high HR often are sick and sedentary.
It's the whole picture that counts and it's very complicated. Just like as people get old, a higher TSH can be associated with greater longevity for some reason.
https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/94/4/1251/2596354
Design/Setting/Patients: We analyzed TSH, FT4, and TSH frequency distribution curves in thyroid disease-free Ashkenazi Jews with exceptional longevity (centenarians; median age, 98 yr), in younger Ashkenazi controls (median age, 72 yr), and in a population of thyroid disease-free individuals (median age, 68 yr) from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1998–2002 (NHANES controls).
Results: Serum TSH was significantly higher in centenarians [1.97 (0.42–7.15) mIU/liter] than in Ashkenazi controls [1.55 (0.46–4.55) mIU/liter] and NHANES controls [1.61 (0.39–6.29) mIU/liter] (median, 2.5 and 97.5 centiles) (P < 0.001). The TSH frequency distribution curve of centenarians was relatively similar in shape to controls but shifted significantly to higher TSH, including TSH concentration at peak frequency. The TSH distribution curve of the NHANES control group was superimposable to and not significantly different from the Ashkenazi controls. FT4 was similar in centenarians and Ashkenazi controls, and there was a significant inverse correlation between FT4 and TSH in both groups.
Conclusions: The TSH population shifts to higher concentrations with age appear to be a continuum that extends even to people with exceptional longevity.The inverse correlation between TSH and FT4 in our populations suggests that changes in negative feedback may contribute to exceptional longevity.
I can't abide people who think communism is a good idea, so I shall refrain from further posts. Thank you for your views anyway.
@AinmBeo what's your point? We're not on that site, are we? If you have a direct link to a pertinent discussion that would add to this thread, but just mentioning it's discussed on another site is not helpful.
Read many studies and yes, around 220 - 240 is the lowest mortality in almost all studies. It begins to fall off around 280.
The lower than 220 is much higher mortality and when you get into 150s, then you are in real trouble.
If your cholesterol is 280 (as mine was) it is a hypo thyroid symptom more than anything else.
it's a common tactic to criticize the USA and how things are run as if that is the opposite of this ideal Communist world.
I'm not defending the USA. I'm defending the principles of freedom from authoritarianism, the freedom to do whatever you want so long as you aren't hurting others, the freedom to keep your own labor and the fruits thereof, the freedom to extract resources from the world and make them your own.
The USA is hardly a capitalist paradise. It's corporate fascism largely with some freedom around that. It's still better than many if not most places if you value freedom and the ability to get ahead on your own initiative.
But the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to make it or fail, above all freedom to OWN GUNS, is what makes the USA a special place and far better than most other places.
I work with people around the world and they are not even allowed to own a firearm. This is fundamentally putting them at the mercy of their government. Here in the USA, we have an armed militia, consisting of almost everyone, and that goes a LONG way towards fighting the worst authoritarianism.
