Hip thrust training: the key to curing Death Grip Syndrome

Most men with Death Grip Syndrome (DGS) focus solely on changing their masturbation grip but completely overlook how they move their body during sex.

If you've tried fleshlight training and lube but still struggle to ejaculate during intercourse, the problem might be your hip thrusting technique.

Why hip thrust training matters

When you masturbate, you're likely moving your hand rather than your hips. This creates a disconnect between:

• How you stimulate yourself to orgasm (hand movement)

• How your body needs to move during actual sex (hip thrusting)

Your brain has become wired to reach climax through hand motions, not the pelvic movements needed during penetrative sex.

The hip-brain connection

Research shows that the neurological pathways for ejaculation are closely tied to hip movement patterns. If you've conditioned yourself to climax only through hand stimulation, your pelvis hasn't learned its role in the process.

How to implement hip thrust training

What you'll need:

• A fleshlight

• Water-based lubricant (remember: never masturbate without lube!)

• A pillow to position the fleshlight

The technique:

1. Position your fleshlight against a pillow, or between mattresses

2. Apply plenty of lubricant to both yourself and the fleshlight

3. Instead of holding and moving the fleshlight with your hand, thrust your hips as you would during actual intercourse

4. Aim to ejaculate within 15 minutes (remember the 15-minute rule!)

5. Practice different positions that mimic real sex positions:

   • Kneeling (simulating doggy style)

   • On top of the pillow (simulating missionary)

   • Standing (simulating standing positions)

Training schedule:

Perform this training at least once per week, but no more than 3 times weekly (remember to limit masturbation frequency to avoid desensitization).

Signs of progress

You'll know the training is working when:

• You can reliably achieve orgasm through hip thrusting alone

• The sensation during actual penetrative sex begins to feel more stimulating

• You require less manual stimulation to reach climax with a partner

Final thoughts

Hip thrust training addresses a critical but overlooked aspect of overcoming Death Grip Syndrome. By retraining your body to associate pelvic movements with pleasure and orgasm, you're creating a more direct path to sexual satisfaction with a partner.

Remember, DGS recovery isn't just about reducing grip strength—it's about synchronizing all aspects of your sexual response to work naturally together.

Just like with other DGS recovery techniques, be patient. Most men see significant improvement within 3 months of consistent practice, with full recovery possible within 6-12 months.
