Social Anxiety Support

Before going onto the main topic, understand that in western thinking, releasing your sexual tension is considered a healthy thing, and the current medical knowledge recommends it.

But here is the eastern thinking on it: Spiritual guru's & monks follow it.

(Ref book: Yoga & Ayurveda by David Frawley.)
Ayurveda has an interesting theory about sexual energy, abstinence, love and character building.

Basically, the nutrition that we give to our body goes through different stages, ie., creating blood among things etc and the final most refined product is the sexual essence.

Now during ejaculation, the sexual energy is released and the cycle goes on again in rebuilding it.

The interesting thing about this is, this sexual energy(Ojas) can be converted into other forms such as courage & a strong nervous system.

Now the tough thing about this is actually being able to not release it in the first place and divert it.

I started doing this since Dec 8th and I plan to carry it as long as I can.

The thing I do when I feel the sexual energy seeping through me, is a simple breathing exercise (ref: The science of Breath, available online)

Basically, you focus your mind on the sexual energy (genitals) and take a deep breath and imagine it flowing up with your breath and then storing in your solar pelxus.
You can also take it towards your brain if you can extend your breath long enough.

Do this a 3 times (for me atleast), the sexual energy disappears. Its amazing and that simple.

I'll keep you guys posted on this little experiment.
One way to release it in a healthy way is do it in a relationship filled with Love.

Now, I always used to give in to this energy and release it. Going through casual sex and porn etc. So I got rid of all the porn (almost) and focusing on meeting woman in the day time. Now with our SA this is easier said than done

I believe in that. I've been storing my sexual energy for the last 6 months. After a while, you don't miss it. I don't even get the urge to "release" myself. My mind is too preoccupied on other things.

striker · 12-14-2008, 03:42 PM

wow!! 6 months.. that's amazing.

wondering if you notice anything regarding your health.

I do. I'm placing more energy and focus onto other things instead of "on the hunt for..."

Imagine all the time and energy we put into getting laid every single day! It's amazing we get anything done as a species.

So Beggiatoa how long did it take to get to this ^ stage and did you use the same method as striker?

davidmiska · 12-15-2008, 03:54 AM

there are several scientific studies proving the benefits of ejaculation. obviously moderation is the key to a healthy life!

david24241 · 12-15-2008, 06:34 AM

hmm i think the studies you are talking about related to orgasms and having sex rather than "ejaculation"

The first two months were complete hell. It's all I could think of. After that, it was easy sailing. I have to add also that I'm not necessarily doing this by choice. I'm in a position right now where going hunting is not an option so I have to sit still. I'll also add that after about 4 months, I've "released" myself a few time, maybe once a week, but it's nowhere near as often as it was before. I don't even do it because I have the urge, rather because I remembered I'm supposed to or something lol

Anyways, I'll stop this experiment once I get back to school.

I hope you realize that by keeping your juice in the bottle you risk getting prostate cancer. I understand what you are saying about energy because I am a neopagan but it is definitively unhealthy to not have an orgasm unless you are not sexually active.

Mr. Frostie · 12-15-2008, 11:27 PM

Its been proven in studies that draining the pipes now and then cleanses the prostrate of toxins and reduces the risk of prostrate cancer. But, hey if you want to believe Eastern mysticism over modern science, its your body.

Also, if you shake hands with the General, you should deploy the troops and complete the mission or it can cause erectile dysfunction problems. I read that somewhere, but don't know if its true.

I've done a fair amount of 'cleansing', so I might as well try a different view on things. I don't think anyone is suggesting that we completely withold from self-relief, its just that some of us are doing it way way way way way too much of it and need a different way of getting to ..err... grips with this issue.

I am always amazed to see the amount of brain washing that goes in the US.

Interestingly, the incidence of prostrate cancer is very high here in the US.

One of the causes of Prostrate Cancer is the overuse of the sexual organs.

Couldn't get past 22 days

The last 3 days, all I could think of sex!!

On another note, I am able to control my SA to a large extent by doing 5 mins of breathing exercise.

ie., whenever I feel nervous energy in my body, I head to somewhere private and put my timer on and do alternate nostril breathing for 5 mins... then I am ready to take them on!!!!

Happy Rocking New Year!!!

This seems pretty unhealthy to me - orgasm is more beneficial than this imaginary breath thing as well as protecting your prostate gland. And six months without hand relief? You've got to be kidding me.

striker · 01-03-2009, 09:19 PM

>This seems pretty unhealthy to me

If you don't understand how something works, then try to explore it and understand how it works. Then comment on it. It doesn't really help anyone by making a general statement about how you feel about the issue.

Do you know that your breath is connected directly with your thoughts. Stop it for a 30 secs and try to think of something.
