Funny! As a man, I have always thought "downwards to" and it never occurred
to me than a woman could or should think "upwards into". Now I can see the
anatomic evidence and understand the logic behind this!
<< So instead of tensing my jaw, fist, locking my knees, or any other such

my buttocks between my legs, and I find that goes a long way towards

The end of your post disappointed me to some extent... Can you feel a
direct relation (be it only muscular!) between your "erotic centre" and your
buttocks? I would have thought that clenching your buttocks would be rather
counterproductive, in the process of centering your body (and voice
support) around your "erotic centre". May the "geographic" (?) proximity be
enough to stimulate this "centre"?
