The exercise takes two in order to do it properly; however, you can use the principles involved when masturbating to make yourself stop way short of your trigger point. Once you can do this reliably, you can then begin to move this benchmark closer and closer over time to your trigger point.
What is key here is in keeping a part of your conscious brain focused on what you are doing so it can stop the proceedings before you loose control. What is happening now is that your entire consciousness is consumed with the pleasurable feeling you generate and you get lulled into a state of euphoria while on the road to Nirvana. It's not unlike being on a diet or deciding not to eat between meals, yet when the commercials are playing on TV you "wake up" to find yourself walking back from the kitchen with a snack in your hand or mouth with no real recollection of opening the door to the refrigerator, reaching in, grabbing, closing the door, turning around and walking back to your seat.
So, work on this as suggested, learning to keep a portion of your mind focused on what you are doing so that when the time comes to stop stimulating yourself, you can issue that command to yourself. If you don't do this quite often you will just say "oh well" I want to climax now because I don't want to wait, when in reality you really want to. It's your alter ego taking command and this is what you do not want.
The other aspect of the exercise is learning to associate those sensations that immediately preceed reaching your trigger point. When you can recognize them reliably and consistently, then you can control the timing of your orgasm and hold it off for as long as you want.
This takes time and practice, so while you are learning, use the Squeeze technique.
