My Disagreement with Taoism: Conserving your Semen is no good
I was in my early twenties when I first came across the Taoist idea that conserving your semen is supposed to make you stronger. I read it in Mantak Chia’s The Multi-Orgasmic Male. From that point on I started conserving my semen, looking at ejaculation like something that makes a man weaker.
I also read about the idea later on while reading the Tao of Sex, Health and Longevity. In these books they speak about how much a man should ejaculate, based on his height and weight, in order to not become weak and feeble.
These books said that when a man ejaculates, he loses his power and vital energy. They even referred to ejaculation as the “little death”. One of the main rules of Taoism is to save up your semen for as long as possible, and to try to make a women orgasm without ejaculating yourself.
The Tao of Sex, Health and Longevity mentions an ancient story of a queen who gathered hundreds of the strongest, most masculine men in China, and took her into her kingdom as sex slaves. It was said that after some time, these men were laid around the palace like weak little girls, with no strength or virility. The culprit? The queen sucked them dry of all their man juices.
Well, while I followed the Taoist principles of semen conservation I felt kind of strong, but I also was a little whacked out in the head, unstable, over-stressed, and had a fairly low sex drive.
After researching on it, I’ve discovered that modern-day science states that ejaculating actually produces more testosterone. More testosterone = a manlier, more virile man.
I have to say, based on science’s ability to accurately measure hormonal levels, compared with ancient Taoist assumptions, I have to go with modern day science on this one.
And thank God I have. I now ejaculate at least once a day (compared to once every two weeks). What I’ve realized is that your body gets into a rhythm with it, and adjusts.
When you don’t ejaculate for long periods of time, and then you do ejaculate, it’s overwhelming to your body. Your body feels completely drained, and well, yes, you feel rather weak.
When you ejaculate more often, and on a regular basis, it’s easier on your body, and it adjusts. And this is a positive adjustment. Your testosterone production increases, which leads to a natural increase in libido, improved sense of well-being, and your penis is “exercised” on a regular basis, leading to improved erection quality.
I now feel great. I have a friend named Mike who is a beast of a man. He is the definition of virility. He is about 6′1″ and weighs a little over 200 lbs. of pure muscle. He is a testosterone producing factory, and he has an abnormally high libido.
Since I’ve known him, he tells me that he ejaculates at least twice every morning. Back when I was conserving my semen, I used to wonder how he could ejaculate so much and be so strong. I figured he just naturally had more testosterone, which created a stronger libido and urge to ejaculate.
Turns out it’s the flip-side; he ejaculates more, which has lead to an increase in testosterone production, which in turn has increased his sex drive naturally. I am now beginning to experience this increase in libido myself.
I ejaculate every day now, and when my girl sleeps over, I have sex “cuando me da la gana”, which is Spanish for, “whenever the hell I feel like it”. My body has adjusted, my libido has naturally increased, and I’ve also noticed an increase in strength at the gym, along with increased muscle mass.
I also do a number of other things to ensure that my testosterone levels are at a healthy level. There are 20+ guidelines that you can follow to ensure that your testosterone production is going along smoothly, without any disruptions….this sounds like a lot, but you just naturally begin to avoid certain things, and incorporate others, and before you know it, you’ve increased your testosterone levels, along with an increase in libido…
