There are positive hormonal changes that occur when you preserve your semen (life force). Imagine, when you ejaculate you're throwing away your life force, your energy, life, vitality. When you don't ejaculate you're preserving your life, life force, energy, vitality.

I've heard of Tibetan monks who went through a whole year of not ejaculating in order to train themselves for sacred sex with a woman after that year. I guess a whole year would make a man, really strong, vibrant, and look and act with strength of character. I think it's not only not ejaculating that does this, but also DOING something with the energy that your storing up. Like exercise, reading whatever scriptures your into, creative work, etc etc. Without these outlets your energy will be stagnant and will probably make it more difficult to preserve.

Positive changes occur when you preserve your semen, and stop ejaculating. I did it for 3 months and had more energy for my college studies, and felt better with more creative energy. I never got a girl during that time. But you can read about famous people who have been quoted speaking of this practice and its' benefits. Many well known geniuses used there "sexual energy" as fuel for their creative work and brilliance. This energy can be analogous to the human spirit. You can drain it and sever your relationship to god or the universe, the oness that is. Or preserve it and realize your wholeness and oness with everything around you.

Thank you for your questions. Makes me think more about my practice. Listen to others to get a comprehensive view of all this.

Honey, thousands of years of observation of cause and effect in the form of sexual alchemical practice IS scientific, otherwise these traditions would not have survived. While scientific evidence is assuring since many people in this day and age work from a scientific paradigm or worldview, it is not the be all and end all, and lack of such research should not preclude experimentation, understanding through firsthand experience, and sharing of that experience in the form of "anectdotes." The problem with scientific research (and I hope you'll agree), is that its dependent on funding. Many observations that people have made throughout time and experience are later confirmed through science, when and if the funding and spirit of inquiry to explore them arises. Should the wisdom of those observations be ignored because science hasn't caught up yet? I personally think that would be unwise. Look into Rupert Sheldrake's research into telepathy. Science thought telepathy was mere coincidence because it had no model to explain it. Now that Sheldrake has created a model to explain it, he has been able to scientifically verify in statistically significant ways what many people reported over and over as their firsthand experience of truth.

The point of this site is not merely to back up observations with sound science, but to explore the potential for conscious evolution between men and women through the use of empathic and largely spiritual practices. If your worldview and paradigm doesn't have a map of reality big enough to encompass god, spirit, or empathy, that may say more about your map than about the existence of god, spirit, or empathy. In any case, the aim of this site is not merely to cater to a scientific worldview that at best has its limitations because of ethical issues of funding, and at worst is destroying life on this planet.
