The Hows and Whys of Semen Retention

semen-retention

I know what you’re thinking. What’s the point? Orgasm with ejaculation already feels good. Could it get any better? My answer is yes…potentially. I’ve been on both sides of this proverbial coin. There is a western understanding that regular ejaculations can actually lower the incidence of prostate cancer. That is a good thing and for older men the more you use it the less chance you you’ll lose it. However, many of the eastern traditions and sacred sexualities promote semen retention to not only intensify orgasm but to increase vitality and yes, they even proclaim you can have a longer life.

These eastern philosophies range from Ayurveda, Chinese, Tibetan Medicine and of course the ancient  Indian art of Tantra. As someone who has studied, practiced and taught basic levels of Tantra (I am not a Tantrika); semen retention is not the first thing I introduce in Tantric practice. But for those men and couples that wish take their Tantric skills to the next level, I do highly recommend semen retention as a way to learn about one’s sexual response and as a way to develop the skill of becoming a multiply orgasmic man.
