“Sex energy and creative energy are parts of the same life force that draws us to it like the warmth of a summer sun or the light of a full moon. Everyone I’ve ever spoken to intimately has told me how important masturbation is to their creative process. Taking an orgasm break can work in different ways: it can bring my energy level up when it lags, it can relax me when I get too tense, or it can clear away the mental cobwebs so I can solve the creative problem at hand. For the most part, I use orgasm breaks to set me up for another round of creativity with a renewed burst of energy.”
