EP 2:43 Mindful Masturbation for Chemsex Recovery with Kevin
Supplemental Study Guide: https://www.drdallasbragg.com/newsletters/blog/posts/Mindfulmasturbation
In this essential episode, Dr. Dallas Bragg welcomes back Coach Kevin Martin (the Pleasure Priest) to explore mindful masturbation as a critical tool for sexual reintegration after Chemsex addiction. Kevin explains that mindful masturbation means bringing consciousness and intention to self-pleasure—moving beyond the automatic "grab phone, pull up porn, rub one out" routine to ask "what am I needing right now?" The practice involves scheduling a dedicated self-pleasure date, creating a pleasurable atmosphere using all five senses, eliminating distractions (especially phones and porn), and exploring the body with gentle curiosity rather than rushing toward orgasm. Kevin emphasizes that the goal isn't to come but to notice what pleasure feels like, which helps men discover their natural arousal template versus what was chemically hijacked by meth.
The conversation addresses deeper themes of worthiness, permission, and shame that prevent many men from experiencing pleasure, particularly those coming from religious or judgment-based backgrounds. Kevin shares that simply giving oneself permission to feel pleasure can be transformative for clients, and that this practice serves as a powerful tool for emotional regulation, craving management, body reconnection, and distinguishing between meth-influenced sexual interests and authentic desires. Both hosts stress that mindful masturbation is a practice requiring patience and persistence—initial attempts may feel awkward or frustrating, but with time it becomes a profound form of self-awareness that extends benefits across all areas of recovery and life. Resources mentioned include Kevin's OnlyFans content modeling mindful practices and Powers of Man's "deep stroke sequence" technique.
