No issue getting hard, achieved close to climax 4 times stopped focused on counting my breaths which worked however the sensation and urge to cum was still very strong but I resisted
Didn’t work so well for me, not aroused enough

Totally forgot about breathing managed ten mins starting and stopping and came right after
It was easy to get an erection, but every minute I’d have to stop to take some deep breaths.
Had to stop three times, was able to control it though. I noticed it was complicated to get hard without visual stimulation. Unfortunately I got flaccid quite easily after I had to stop, guess I need to keep practicing
I was not able to get it hard just touching it without visual or mental stimulation

I managed to get hard within a couple of minutes and stayed hard all that time but I didn’t come close to climax. Loads of pre cum though, which I think might not be helping me
Not able to get fully hard without visual.

I’m realizing that most of the time I go into sex, I’m extremely overstimulated.
Each time I revisit the 10 min start stop exercise, I learn more about myself.
Wk1 I started doing this exercise laying on my back, without any external stimuli (no porn, no audio) laying on my back using my hand. I had to stop 3x, but I made it the full 10 mins (first time masturbating w/o porn in probably 10yrs).
Wk2 I progressed to a masturbator toy and a standing position. Every 2 mins I had to stop, and it was extremely difficult, but I made it through.
Wk3 I’m now trying an auto masturbator that moves up and down and spins, lying on my back again because the stimulation is much higher.
What I’ve learned in this process is that when I’m overstimulated, I can move to something that moves the feeling from the head, to the root or shaft. Also, my breaths and adrenaline increase when I’m fucking vs using my hand to stroke, and that’s a lot harder to manage for me right now. Box breathing the entire time also is the key.
I haven’t been having sex with a partner, and I don’t feel I’m ready for that yet, but for the first time in a long time I feel great about the positive progress I’m making. I just have to stay the course and give myself permission to stay in the moment.

First exercise stop start technique had to stop 3-4 times in the 10 minutes but managed to not ejaculate in the 10 min

This was my second start stop exercise and I see a crazy difference between my first and second one. I stopped fewer times and felt more confident.

Box breathing helped keep me from ejaculating. But I’m still aroused very easily.
Keep it up brother! You can do this!!
Couldn’t get hard at all. It was pretty scary I suppose, i even tried lube but didn’t amount to nothing. I’m trying my best to keep negative thoughts at bay.
Didn’t use penis root, just normal methods. I get hard relatively quickly. Stopped a few times to delay ejaculation, but “start stop” is nothing more than “edging” which I’ve practiced before getting this app. Maybe I should be throwing in breathing strategies to delay while still masterbating? I wish they would make these things more clear. I’m really trying my best to get better.
Something strange happened during this session. I was masturbating, I was normal and everything was cool. So I went a bit faster. I felt closed to the edge then I stopped. I didn’t ejaculate but it felt like penis “thought” I came. So it started to feel more sensitive and being soft. So I accelerated again and managed to get hard. However, once I got closer to coming I couldn’t stop myself. I was scared I would go soft again… I’m pretty sure this is exactly what happens during sex. I wonder why I got soft after the first stop…
Got hard easily. Was maturating for a few minutes and felt close so stopped but a small amount of cum came out. Then I went soft and didn’t get fully hard again whilst continuing to mastubste. The firmness came back slowly but it felt really disappointed. This is what happens to me when I’m intimate.
Dude keep going. I reckon you should do some kegels and keep repeating this exercise. You’ll get a better sense of when you’re about to come and the kegels will give you a better ability to pull back.

I’ve been masturbating like this for pretty much my whole life. It really helps with lasting longer and it feels great everytime.
I was surprised how long 10 minutes lasts. I had to stop every 1-2 minutes, and towards the end more frequently. I noticed I was able to withhold giving myself the satisfaction of cumming just because I want to feel it, by stopping and letting my arousal come back down. I’m curious to know how to translate start stop to sex with a partner
