Part One: Solo Retention
Chapter 2. The Anatomy of Energy Drain: Ancient Texts and Modern Science
Оглавление“The Little Death”: Why Did the Ancients Call It That?
The phrase “the little death” (la petite mort) following orgasm appears in many cultures. This is not just a poetic metaphor.
– The Taoist Viewpoint: During ejaculation, a powerful release of Jing energy occurs from the lower dantian (the energy reservoir in the lower abdomen) and the kidneys. Energy accumulated over weeks is literally spilled outward, creating a massive breach in your energetic field. The organism throws all its resources into urgently replenishing the loss, depleting other systems.
– The Tantric Perspective: Orgasm with ejaculation is a micro-explosion where energy that could have risen up the spine (raising the Kundalini), nourishing higher consciousness centers, is roughly yanked out and expelled to the periphery. It is a sharp release of tension, followed not by fulfillment, but by emptiness.
– The Slavic Image: Imagine the bonfire of your Lineage. Every fruitless (not for conception) ejaculation is like throwing a bucket of water onto the burning logs. The fire doesn’t go out completely, but the brightness of the flame and the heat drop sharply. You are left with smoldering embers, not a mighty blaze.
The View of Modern Science: Hormones and the Biochemistry of Depletion.
Modern endocrinology and biochemistry perfectly explain why you feel drained after ejaculation.
– Costly Production. Sperm are not just cells. They are highly specialized genetic material. Their production consumes a colossal amount of the body’s resources: zinc, magnesium, selenium, vitamins, essential amino acids, fats, and enzymes. In terms of nutrient value, a single serving of semen is equivalent to 200—400 milliliters of blood. The body literally “eats itself” to reproduce it.
– Hormonal Roller Coaster.
– Before Ejaculation: Peak dopamine – the hormone of motivation, anticipation, and desire.
– During: An explosion of oxytocin and prolactin.
– After: Here comes the main blow. Prolactin – its level spikes sharply after orgasm. This hormone induces relaxation, drowsiness, and suppresses dopamine production. Its evolutionary task is to lull the man to sleep after the act of procreation. In the modern world, when you need to go to a meeting, work, or make decisions afterward, this effect is a direct enemy of your productivity and will.
– Neurotransmitter Depletion. Orgasm is a massive release of not only hormones but also neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine). Their restoration requires time and resources.
– Energy Expenditure. The process itself is an intense physical load on the cardiovascular and nervous systems. And after it – the “emergency recovery” mode.
Summary: From the body’s perspective, uncontrolled ejaculation is an emergency situation comparable to significant blood loss or severe stress. The body throws ALL reserves into mitigating the consequences.
Where Does the Energy Go? The Alchemy of Transformation.
Now for the crucial part: what happens when you do not expend this force?
Your intelligent organism, finding no outward outlet, initiates a process of reverse distillation.
– Taoist Alchemy: Preserved Jing (semen energy) automatically begins to rise upward through special channels (the spine) and transmute. Jing → Qi. You feel this as a surge of strength, warmth in the body, and vigor. Then Qi → Shen. This manifests as mental clarity, intuition, creative uplift, and a “glow” from within.
– The Tantric Path: Energy not expelled outward goes toward awakening the Kundalini – the dormant energy at the base of the spine. It rises, nourishing all energy centers (chakras), illuminating consciousness, and providing an experience of unity and bliss that is incomparably stronger than brief orgasm.
– The Slavic Image: You stop throwing buckets of water on your fire. Instead, you add wood to your internal flame. The fire flares up, becoming hotter and brighter. This energy – your Ancestral Spark – begins to fuel all areas of your life: you become stronger, wiser, more attractive. You are not a consumer, but a Keeper and Multiplier of your Lineage’s strength.
Conclusion: Control over ejaculation is not an end in itself. It is the ignition key for starting the inner alchemy that turns raw carnal force into fuel for your evolutionary leap. From a slave of instinct to a sovereign of your inner world.
Norms of Strength: How Many Times Is It “Okay to Spill”? The Wisdom of the Ages and the Voice of Reason.
A man must know the throughput of his own gates, like a lord of a castle. Uncontrolled release of troops weakens the fortress, but complete isolation leads to stagnation. Observing human nature, ancient sages and doctors left us guidelines that are strikingly precise from the perspective of modern physiology.
Age Norms: From Youth to Maturity
The Guiding Principle: The younger the man, the more primal energy (Jing) he possesses and the faster he recovers it. With age, the resource requires increasingly careful stewardship.
– 15—20 years (The Spring of Strength):
– The Sages: “Spring is for accumulation.” This age lays the foundation for all subsequent life. The ideal is complete retention to direct all energy toward growth, study, and character formation. Maximum frequency – no more than 1—2 times per month.
– Science: Hormonal activity and spermatogenesis are high, but the nervous system is still labile. Frequent ejaculations can lead to nervous system exhaustion, difficulties with concentration, and slowed physical development.
– 20—30 years (The Summer of Power):
– The Sages: “Summer is for strengthening.” The period of highest physical strength, but also greatest temptations. The norm is 2—4 times per month. The key is not frequency, but awareness. One fulfilling act with a beloved woman is better than several empty expenditures.
– Science: The body is at its peak, recovery is fast. However, it is at this age that habits are formed. A nervous system accustomed to frequent dopamine spikes lays down behavioral patterns for life.
– 30—40 years (Mature Autumn):
– The Sages: “Autumn is for wisdom.” It is time to invest energy, not spend it. A key period for career, creativity, and family. The norm is 1—2 times per month. The main focus is on quality and energy exchange, not quantity.
– Science: Testosterone levels begin to gradually decline. The consequences of stress and poor lifestyle come to the fore. Frequent ejaculations lead to chronic fatigue, diminished motivation, and premature aging.
– 40—50 years (Golden Autumn):
– The Sages: “The time to harvest fruits.” Energy must be guarded like the apple of one’s eye. The norm is no more than once every 2 months, and preferably less often. Practice should be aimed at receiving energy from a woman, not giving it away.
– Science: Hormone production noticeably decreases. Recovery requires more time and resources. Each loss of semen is a blow to immunity, cognitive function, and energy tone.
– 50+ years (The Dignity of Winter):
– The Sages: “After 50, never spill seed.” This does not mean renouncing intimacy. On the contrary! It means transitioning to a fundamentally different level – the practice of partnered retention. The man becomes “Heaven,” the woman “Earth.” Their union is one of mutual nourishment without loss. Ejaculation at this age is equivalent to consciously accelerating aging.
– Science: The body is no longer capable of quickly reproducing high-quality seminal material. Its production consumes the last reserves of zinc, selenium, vitamins, and vital force. This is a direct path to oncology, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Preserving semen becomes a matter of survival and quality of life.
Seasonal Rhythms: The Wisdom of the Year
The ancients said: “In winter – no expenditure. In spring – restrain yourself. In summer – be moderate. In autumn – prepare for preservation.”
Why is there a complete prohibition in winter, at any age?
– The Wisdom of the Ancestors: Winter is the time of the Underworld (Nav), nature sleeps, all living things conserve their strength. A man must follow this rhythm: collect, preserve, and accumulate energy deep within his core (Zhivot), so that with spring, he can give a powerful start to a new cycle of life.
– Scientific Justification:
– Lack of Sunlight and Vitamin D: Winter brings lower levels of Vitamin D, critical for testosterone production and immunity. The body is already under stress.
– Energy Expenditure on Heating: The body spends enormous resources maintaining its core temperature. The loss of semen is an additional and completely unnecessary drain of energy.
– Deficiency of Vitamins and Minerals: The diet contains less fresh greens, vegetables, and fruits – the primary sources of antioxidants and trace elements needed for recovery.
– Peak of Epidemics: The immune system is under strain. Ejaculation is a powerful blow to immunity, which is especially dangerous in winter.
The bottom line for a man of any age:
Consider these norms not as strict rules, but as a compass pointing toward health and longevity.
– Your goal is not to “meet the norm,” but to strive for its lower limit, and ideally – to surpass it.
– Every drop of seed you preserve is an investment in your future: in mental clarity at 60, in strength at 70, and in the joy of life at 80.
Remember the ancient covenant: “The wiseman accumulates, the fool squanders.” Choose the path of wisdom.
