Final Panic - your description of you personality is the same as me. I have suffered form a general anxiousness most of my life. It is very much linked to pois. It was there a little before but in stressful situations only. When it ramped up is when I had pois at 16/17, though at the time I did not know what I had or could link it specifically to having an O. I was in constant pois, so for me having an O did not make me consciously more anxious because I was now going to get pois. The anxiousness just flared back up the next day. As you said having an O pushes the body past a certain limit. I could see meditation & hypnotism helping to reduce the level of anxiety but not breaking the link between having an O an getting increased anxiety. The O causes pois with ramped up anxiety being one of the symptoms and not a case of getting anxious over having an O and getting pois.
I found it hard to do meditation, as I always had constant thoughts. I tried hypnotism using CD + headphones and that helped a bit with my general health and well being. I had to do it morning + night and continuously every day. when I stopped after a while its effects wore off. I also tried herbs + supplements to reduce the anxiousness and this did help lessen pois and the anxiousness which was a big part, but it meant I was not mentally as sharp which I did not like.
That general anxiety for me made wanting sex an act of stress release. The times when I had increased libido but also when iI put on more weight was happy and calmer then sex was lusty and not because I was stressed. Much less pois then, but it was hard for me to maintain that. Just lucky health spells always in the colder months. I've tried the continual solo self-control regime and it did not really help lessen the pois imo. It was good in the fact that it meant I was holding off from having an O during the week though. Still I think there are some here (younger guys anyway) who would still find that too stimulating and get some pois symptoms. I wonder how much of your reduced pois is due to you being really happy (in love) with your new gf. Its really good you have hardly any symptoms for this new relationship.
