I had to under go stabilization 3 times, but I just stopped did the look at your hands really closely and returned to my dream scene where the DC involved at the time was just waiting patiently for me.
When I saw your thread, I didn't think it would be possible to a certain degree, but it happened and it is possible sir.
I'm encouraged by how well stabilization techniques appear to work for this application (not just in this thread, but other one's too). I think somewhere in my mind I half-assumed that an orgasm would be too much for a dream to handle, but I'm really starting to wonder if it's just an unfortunate schema I gave myself at some point. After all, wet dreams aren't all that unheard of, and there are plenty of people (such as yourself) who swear dream orgasms are possible.
I bolded the part of your response that mentioned pajama bottoms, as I wonder if sleep attire has any sort of impact on one's ability to reach a climax in a dream. I also wonder if the physical body moves at all during dream sex, and if so, if there is any difference between wearing boxers vs. pajamas vs. sleeping nude (or if the type of material comes into play, such a cotton vs. silk).

Another way to understand this is, the stability during excitation in dreams is dependent on the focal of the dream. So you have to focus with all of your concentration on one spot that you'd like to be the constant of that dream either look at a certain detail, and attempt to concentrate on it while with your peripheral vision paying attention to the changes that occur around the focal point. Everywhere you look will stay a constant, everywhere your peripheral vision is will change into the metaphors of your thought forms. So if you'd like to keep the female the only constant, pay real attention to her. However don't ever get distracted by your peripheral vision or the focus will shift to that.
I'm definitely going to give the "passive observer" approach a try. About the second part, I've now heard conflicting things and both methods seem to make sense. On one hand, it makes sense that you'd want to pay some attention to your surroundings to keep the dreamscape itself from destabilizing. On the other hand, it also make sense that you can stabilize a dream by doing the exact opposite, and narrowing your focus down to some sort of small detail (to counteract the whole "information-overload" issue). What I wonder is if it would be best to just narrow my focus the whole time (like on her body) or if I should be looking around and taking in the rest of the dream to keep it from dissolving away?

I suppose everyone's different, but it's interesting to consider.
I've experienced amazingly detailed ultra high def vistas in LDs that ended abruptly after just a 10-15 seconds, for no reason that I can think of other than perhaps: 1) REM was over, 2) the scene was too complex (individual trees with branches stretching into the far horizon).
Last night I had an amazing semi-lucid (maybe low-level lucid) that included an approx 1 minute stretch of ultra high def jet flying over a highly detailed nighttime city scape with freeways, city lights, tons of objects in the sky, etc., it's probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a dream, and it lasted a decent long while. Maybe the extra processing drain that being highly lucid makes sustaining these highly detailed, sweeping vista scenes harder to maintain? Maybe I could sustain it so long (compared to my previous ones) because my lucidity was very low/in the background?
As for dream orgasm, I've thought of a technique but never remember to try it out, but since there is nothing physical involved, I think one need not have a long time leading up to it. I've though of summoning a big, red "c*m now!" button and just slamming it to see what happens, skipping all the stuff in the middle. I know another good dreamer (to remain anonymous  ) who has mentioned that you can just fast forward right to the climax since it's all in your head, anyway. As for me, the journey is the point, so I don't want to do that, but may try it just to see if I can get it to work.
Yeah I've thought about that too, but the brain is an extremely powerful supercomputer. Given how realistic and expansive video games are nowadays (and how little processing power those consoles have versus the brain), it makes me curious as to the exact nature of the "bogging down" problem. For me personally, I don't think I've ever run into this issue with nLDs, which makes me even more curious as to what is going on. Is it really just our mind trying to process more information than it can handle, or does it have something specifically to do with lucidity? I have no clue.
