Monk tips

Hi, I've signed up today. Years ago, before new tech, i was a member of a men's group.The facilitator/counsellor gave a tip to avoid masturbation which was something used by monks he said. It was to apply pressure to a muscle just underneath the scrotum/penis. The pressure is applied by tightening the muscle. It worked for me and it is the only time i could stare full frontal at a female approaching me in the street without her covering her breasts. What a liberating feeling i had, it was so good to be able to admire the female form, but somehow not leering. Has anyone else tried this, i couldn't find anything on the internet. There is a name for the muscle, but i can't find that either. Sadly I gradually reverted to old habits, but it's never too old to learn.
