How Orgasmic Meditation Helped Me With My Social Anxiety

Published December, 2023

Social anxiety kept me married to my work. I enjoyed my career as a software developer. It wasn’t hard to talk to people in the job context. But outside of work, I felt so self-conscious I could barely speak. I felt as if I wasn’t masculine enough to approach women. I liked changing jobs regularly and traveling. But at one point, I had a break between projects that took me back to London. For the first time, I felt lonely. All the people I knew were at the job, most of my old London friends were gone, and shyness kept me from meeting new people. I was desperate for connection.

Seeking Connection

I started going to yoga classes. An acupuncturist I met said that if I did some work with him, he would give me a deal, and he ended up being quite good at reading what I needed. His prescription was to explore different forms of human connection. One of them was dancing. He also introduced me to a group of people who practiced Orgasmic Meditation. They spoke about their feelings so openly that I felt comfortable expressing myself freely around them. I was able to release some things I normally held back, which started to dissipate a lot of my social anxiety.

Practicing Orgasmic Meditation

I wanted to try Orgasmic Meditation but felt shy. In the initial sessions, I didn’t feel much. Instead, I was preoccupied, wondering if I was stroking properly and whether I should be doing something differently. Gradually, I started tuning in to the process, exploring the spot of highest sensation and learning to sense through my body what felt right. I remember a pretty wild session, with streams of sensation like fireworks rushing through me. Once, I had an out-of-body experience where I looked at myself and my partner from all angles.

Overcoming Social Anxiety

As I learned to feel physical sensations during OMing, I became more in touch with what anxiety feels like in my body in social situations. I learned how to focus on the tension that anxiety creates, feel the discomfort, and then let it run its course like any other feeling. That process freed me to talk to people.

There was one OM where I seemed to feel exactly what my partner felt. It was something that had never happened to me before. This revelation helped me recognize and accept the parts of me that are sensitive, connectable, and sensual. Usually, we think of those qualities as feminine, but in OM—Orgasmic Meditation, they’re important to the stroker’s role. Instead of ignoring that side of me, as I did in the past, I began to see it as valuable. I barely had female friends before; now, I have so many that I've lost count.

Personal Transformation

My life is much less focused on work than it used to be. I’m still in transition, building a foundation of home and relationships. Orgasmic Meditation has brought out the hidden parts of myself.
