My Review of the 66 Days Fap Training Method

If you hang out on r/PrematureEjaculation on Reddit, you will probably come across what is referred to as the 66 days method. This is presented all over this subreddit as the best way to treat Premature Ejaculation (PE).

There seem to be several variations of this method, but they all basically share the same fundamentals. As far as I can tell, they originated from this forum post.

Quick reminder: premature ejaculation is the term used when a man has an ejaculatory orgasm within a few seconds or minutes of beginning sexual activity, despite his will to last longer.

The 66 days fap training method, described in detail here, consists in reprogramming the brain through a regular practice that involves masturbating in very specific ways.
A few rules include: not watching porn, not ejaculating, breathing from the belly, relaxing the PC muscles.

You may wonder, why 66 days? According to a study, this is the average period necessary to develop a new habit.

As someone who helps men learn how to control ejaculation, I can say that the 66 days method does a lot of things right. Actually, most of what it recommends are recommendations that are part of my own program. I have no doubts those practicing it seriously will see results.

I am, however, skeptical that the results will live up to their expectations. I expect that those who train with this method will see great improvements in a few weeks or months but suddenly hit a wall in their progress at a certain point.

As far as I know, the best way to treat PE is to follow the kind of method that I teach, what we might call the multi-orgasmic training. You can learn more about this training here but in a nutshell, it refers to learning how to control ejaculation and how to have multiple orgasms through ancient Eastern techniques.

It contains ideas and techniques similar to the 66 days method, but also a lot more than that.

Now let's review the downsides of the 66 days method and why it's limited.

Slow Results

The author of the post mentions that it took him more than one year to beat PE. Keep in mind that he trained very regularly. I find that a lot longer than what can be achieved with the multi-orgasmic training.

I hate giving estimations because everyone is different. Each person has a different mind, a different body, comes from a different context, lives in a different environment, and all these factors influence the pace of their progress.

However, I can say that most men suffering from PE have a good chance of treating it in a matter of months if they practice the multi-orgasmic training regularly.

No PC Muscles Contractions

The author advises against using any PC muscles contractions or practicing kegels. His idea is that you only need to relax the PC muscles and that contracting them will only make PE worse.

There is some truth to that. If they are not practiced properly, kegels can create bad habits and increase tension in the PC muscles, which is a big no-no because tension in this area promotes ejaculation.

What is also true though is that PC muscles contractions can definitely be useful to control ejaculation. They just need to be practiced and used the right way. They are also one of the big components in achieving non-ejaculatory orgasms.

This is why contrary to most kegel trainings you might find in books or articles, the personal kegel routine I provide makes sure to balance contractions and relaxations. Every contraction is followed by an equal relaxation, with equal focus. I also include a reverse kegel exercise after each kegel exercise.

Reduced Pleasure

The author also mentions that his training resulted in a loss of pleasure during masturbation. This is not uncommon when one trains to fight PE. It comes from the repeated efforts to divert pleasure away from the penis and the frequency of masturbation.

In the multi-orgasmic training, we don't have this problem. We expand the nervous system's ability to feel pleasure more intensely and in more areas of the body.
Some men, in some moments, can have a decreased pleasure in the penis but it's offset by the fact that they can feel pleasure in their whole body and experience superior orgasms.
