This is a very well known and documented issue in Taoism also. Ejaculation means a loss of vital energy (jing), and I believe we have a finite store of this energy (from our parents), if I recall correctly, sexual energy is stored in the kidneys, so frequent ejaculation may result in a drained feeling around the lower back area where the kidneys are located.
I'm typing this from memory, so may not be entirely correct, but I think that's the jist of it.
I've only managed to go without for 8 days myself, so not so hot on the self-control, I know. I had bloated feelings around the balls, and I'm not sure if I was sublimating or redirecting the energy appropriately. It's something I defo need to look in to more though.
It is a serious topic, and a real issue, it's not imagined at all, as some seem to thing (I can understand why they'd think that though). |
