You know, you can expect some to abstain from ejaculation, but you can't seriously expect boys not to get aroused. And once the arousal has started, the blood was drawn to pelvic area, the most healthy release is through orgasm or ejaculation. Otherwise you start having the problems mentioned above. |
Now you've rejected thousands of years of Chinese medicine and Taoist teachings.

This is stuff that's behind the folklore on lycanthropy and werewolfs. I've only seen a glimpse of it really but it's a strong stuff. Helped me a lot, later, when I've met a Grizzly bear in the wild.
I've tried to find something on Google, but I just don't know where to start looking. Sorry, that I start sounding like a sect member, but I just can't find a ready links. My guess is it would deal with shamans, native americans, etc.
There is also a very simple, but unhealthy practice of drinking strong alcohol, but I won't recommend it.  |
So as I thought it included removing part of neocortex

There are morals that are co-existing with the Christian one right now. And they treat many sensitive matters differently. So, I'd say it is another proof that we as human civilization are not as detached from our roots as it might seem to a European. |
So, yes I think that it's not Christianity that invented morality or morals.
I'm not a Christian and still consider masturbation as something not to be proud of.
