I’m a sex expert — my ‘orgasm breath’ method releases stress, boosts energy

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. — Brace yourself for peak energy.

Sex scholar Nadège, who wrote “Sextrology” and founded Pleasure Science, is sharing a simple breathwork technique to re-energize the brain, boost self-esteem, soothe the nervous system and heighten intimacy with a partner.

The phrase “orgasm breath” may make you blush, but Nadège insists it really works.

“You do two very quick inhales and then a long exaggerated exhale,” she told an audience last week at the Los Angeles edition of the Biohackers World conference.

“And the reason it’s called the ‘orgasm breath’ is because you want to get louder and more exaggerated with each exhale,” she explained.

The method resembles the physiological sigh, which involves two short inhales before a long exhale.

That breathing pattern is backed by neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, who said it activates a neural circuit that rapidly calms the autonomic nervous system and reduces stress.

Because the physiological sigh promotes relaxation, Huberman recommends doing it before an activity that might cause nervousness, like public speaking.

Nadège’s breathwork comes with a twist — she advises sticking out your tongue during the pronounced exhale to “break the ice” with yourself and shift your energy to an open, playful state.

This move also can relax the face and mouth muscles.

“It’s a somatic technique that is all about releasing insecure feelings, tense muscles or anxious feelings,” Nadège told The Post.

“For example, if you see someone you have a crush on at a party and feel a surge of social anxiety roll through your body,” she added, “go to the bathroom and do a minimum of three orgasm breaths to help you release tension.”

Nadège recommends doing at least three orgasm breaths in a row no matter the situation — and practicing alone a few times to determine how many cycles it takes for the friskiness to kick in.

Before sex, Nadège suggests engaging in orgasm breathing with a lover to center yourself in your erotic connection.

“You can do this with a partner by sitting in front of each other,” she said. “Then each person places their left hand on their lover’s heart. Look into each other’s eyes.”

Nadège assured the Biohackers World audience that “you don’t have to stick your tongue out if you’re afraid of not looking cute with your partner.”

During sex, if you’re losing stamina or feeling disconnected, you can use orgasm breathing to intensify erotic energy or restore intimacy.

“It can also be used after sex,” Nadège noted, “but most of my clients find that the orgasm breath is best before sex or during sex since it can be very energizing.”

Nadège’s favorite breathwork techniques

Besides orgasm breath, Nadège revealed two of her other go-to breathing methods.

Box breathing is known as 4-4-4-4 breathing because it involves inhaling slowly through your nose for a count of four, holding your breath for four, exhaling through your mouth for four and holding again for four.

“This is a great way to soothe the nervous system so that you can be open to giving or receiving pleasure,” Nadège said. “Box breathing is very soothing, though it isn’t always energizing, and it isn’t designed to activate playfulness — which is why I often teach my clients the orgasm breath before other breathwork techniques.”

Four-six count breathwork — inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for six seconds — is ideal for easing social or sexual performance anxiety.

Be sure to do it at least three times to see results.

“All of these techniques — orgasm breath, box breathing and the four-six breath — are great for sex because they soothe the nervous system,” Nadège said. “If your nervous system is not relaxed, you will not be able to receive pleasure.”
