Jerking Off the Right Amount

Before falling asleep at night, I have a routine. I login to XVideos and surf an interest.  Often times, I go to my "liked videos" for those nights I need a quick fix before bed. 

As I'm about to ejaculate, my heartbeat and breathing increases, my legs become restless, and I feel a testicle slowly retract. At release, my body relaxes. I place my phone on the nightstand, find a comfortable spot, and fall asleep.

Daily ejaculation can be like a wellness routine with a wink -- boosting mood through a happy hormone cocktail, improving sleep thanks to prolactin's cozy effects, giving your circulation a mini workout, possibly lowering prostate cancer risk, and even lending your immune system a hand. It's like your body's built-in stress relief and bedtime story, minus the plot twists. Of course, like anything else, what feels indulgent and harmless to one person might not work the same for another.

Making it a daily must-do can drift into "can't-stop-won't-stop" territory, where it becomes more compulsion than choice. This could interfere in a person's work, social, and personal life. Overdoing it might dampen libido, lower sperm count if you're trying to conceive, or even train your body for quick sprints instead of romantic marathons. 

As implied in this video, there's no universal magic number as to how many times a person should ejaculate. Balance and self-awareness are the real MVPs. If it's boosting your mood without causing problems, enjoy; if it's creating issues, maybe give your body (and brain) a breather.

Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

Music Appreciation

When Carly Rae Jepsen released "Call Me Maybe" on September 20, 2011, as the lead single from her EP Curiosity, no one could have guessed it would become one of the catchiest songs of the decade. Co-written with her longtime collaborator Tavish Crowe, the song was originally a folk tune before being reworked into a bright, synth-laced pop track. 

The song's message is delightfully simple: the giddy rush of crushing on someone and impulsively giving them your number with a "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy..." It's flirty, fearless, and just awkward enough to feel relatable.

Composition-wise, “Call Me Maybe” thrives on its string section hook and sugary production, keeping things light and upbeat from start to finish. Its infectious chorus and Jepsen’s charming vocal delivery helped it climb the charts worldwide. 

Musically, the track balances a polished pop sensibility with just enough emotional earnestness to feel genuine. It’s the kind of song that worms its way into your head—and then convinces you to hit replay. Over and over and --maybe-- over again.

The music video, written and directed by Ben Knechtel, adds a fun twist to the song's lovestruck vibe. Filmed in British Columbia, it follows Jepsen as she swoons over her handsome neighbor (Holden Nowell) while trying to get his attention. 

She daydreams about impressing him with her band skills, car-washing prowess, and just sheer charm. But the punchline? After finally working up the courage to give him her number, he smiles... and hands it to her male bandmate.
