I was once on a massage table when an aneros toy was inserted. I was then instructed to rhythmically clench my glutes which in the end led to many and multiple prostate orgasms. One of the most intense experiences of my life. Alas my mind is in the gutter and I digress!
My issue is actually with clenching my jaw when stressed. Not only is this causing crazy headaches, it is also making my TMD worse. It’s hard to find any techniques on how to relieve it.
I’ve started meditating and using mindfulness more than usual which helps but when I’m mid way through a report or got a lot on at work I do it without even realising. When I do realise, it takes so much effort to stop doing.
Has anyone got any tips for what to do? A mouthguard at night will just make the jaw clicking of the TMD worse. |

I'm can't really offer any real advice but I know it's horrid. I got to the point it was painful to eat coz it felt like my jaw was popping out when I was opening my mouth to stick the fork in.
All I really learned was that was a sign that my brain was deferring stress signals round my body and saying "you need to sort this, hello! I'm trying to show you something is very wrong, why aren't you listening?"
Sorry I couldn't be more help.  |

I looked up bruxism. Theres not really much practical advice on top of what youre already doing maybe some facial massage? To help relax your face muscles and bring some awareness to clenching? |

Yep I massage it all the time too. It’s an odd one |

My dentist recommended this technique but I’m yet to try it. You know those wheat bags you heat in the microwave. Well he said when you clench your teeth it uses muscles near your temples. Essentially overtime they become stronger than they need to be and they’re just always tight which leads to clenching. He said to warm a wheat back two or three times a day and put it on your head to try relax the muscles and get them used to be relaxed. Almost like the opposite of strengthening a muscle I guess?
Can’t find any good wheatbags for sale but when I do I will try this method. |

You can make your own using porridge oats and a small bag. |
