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). |
Is there any actual science behind these sort of ideas though? Just about every religion on earth seems to really hate sex, masturbation, orgasms, and anything else that feels good physically- the Eastern ones like to claim it somehow "drains you of life energy", while the Western ones do the usual "it'll send you to Hell!".
This would peak my interest if there was any faith and dogma-free info on it, but as of yet I've never heard anything but benefits to regular sex and masturbation from the scientific side.
