Control of Autonomous Body Functions

Autonomous body functions are things we experience every day, sometimes every second of the day yet we do not even notice they are happening. Many of these functions are done as a reflexive response. For instance, if something is coming towards your eye, such as a hand, fingernail, or even a dust particle, it is instinctive to shut the eye or blink. This is an autonomous body function.

Most if not all of the autonomous body functions are caused by some sort of stimulation of external stimuli. When you are involved in a relationship, you may feel something from the touch of your lover. Depending on where they are touching you, the response should be autonomous. A good example of this is an orgasm.

When you are sexually aroused you release endorphins. These endorphins can make you feel happiness and can up your mood. Orgasm is just one way to increase your mood and aid in personal development as a result.

It may seem impossible to control autonomous body functions, but it is possible. While it may be unconventional to learn to control the blinking of your eyes, orgasm control can actually help to improve sexual function, performance, pleasure, and the overall sexual experience.

While it can be difficult at first to control your orgasm, it is possible for both men and women to do so. Women often have an easier time gaining control simply because an autonomous body function also associated with the male orgasm is ejaculation. Men can orgasm without ejaculating. However, what most men do not realize is that they can orgasm without ejaculating so they can experience pleasure and control the autonomous nature of their sexual organs in the process.

When trying to control autonomous body functions, you need to first understand what these functions are and why they happen in the first place. If you have a better understanding of how the functions work, then you have a better understanding of how to control them.

For example, when you orgasm your muscles work to contract while the nerves send impulses between the brain and the sensate organs. When you control your orgasm, you determine whether the messages sent, are fully carried out, and whether you will allow the muscles to contract. You can do this to temporarily prevent or completely stop yourself from having an orgasm.

One thing you can also do is make it possible to have an orgasm through a specific signal that immediately sets off the autonomous body function to make you orgasm. While this is getting more into the psychological aspect of sex, orgasm denial or orgasm control can be done through what is known as Pavlov’s method. As Pavlov programmed his dogs to salivate, your body can be programmed to autonomously respond to any stimuli presented.

For Pavlov’s dog it was a bell ringing. Those who are involved in orgasm control (many people involved in the D/s and BDSM Lifestyles are) use words, hand gestures, and even various sounds to stimulate the desired response.

This is excellent for relationships that have a lot of trust and respect involved in them. If you trust your partner to give them control of your autonomous body functions then you may be a step above the rest, as you develop a healthy, controlled relationship together.
