Preserve male fluid

QUESTION: How preserving semen affects us sexually? (not spiritually:)

I experienced more sexual action involved in my life with "intense pleasure" when I preserved semen for almost 15 days so I was just wondering, does preserving semen makes one more sexually active and removes weaknesses of male genitals?

I understand practising celibacy is a much broader concept leading us to the path of enlightenment and not just for sexual satisfaction but still I would like to know its effects for a person who is willing to have sex but wants to preserve semen..

ANSWER: Hello Eshamur,

Hope you are keeping fine. Coming to the queries,

Q1: What is the effect of semen conservation at the physical/sexual level?
A: When a man becomes celibate the body gets rest from constantly producing semen. This results in a mammoth increase of 'Prana' or vital energy within the system. The increased Prana leads to better strength, endurance and ability at the physical level and more concentration and focus at the mental level. On a parallel, sexual glands such as the testicles and the prostate among many others rest and rejuvenate further to a period of abstinence. This tones and refreshes the sexual system leading to better function. How a man deals with this increased energy and potency is left to his discretion. If he reverts to constant sexual activity trying to enjoy the 'increased pleasure' he once again starts to waste his primal fluid and eventually becomes weak and debilitated. On the other hand if he transmutes the conserved fluid into 'Ojas' or divine astral power through sublimation with constant physical, mental and spiritual activity, his Prana within goes on increasing and he can achieve the impossible. Unto such a man does not come disease of the mind or the body and he can excel in any field of activity.

Q2: What is the effect of non-ejaculatory relations?
A: Non-ejaculatory relations or not ejaculating during the sexual act is much better than a life of seminal wastage. The man/woman stop the sexual act much before the onset of an orgasm and thus refrain from an ejaculation. It helps the man/woman develop control over ejaculation and thus helps prevent ejaculation of semen. It is a technique that can be used initially before the start of absolute celibacy to help one develop independence from the concept of climax/orgasm. But non-ejaculatory relations will eventually have to lead to absolute Brahmacharya in course of time if one wants the benefit of transmutation. Semen that reaches the 'ejaculatory mode' during the sexual act (see past answers for definition of ejaculatory mode) will eventually flow out through a wet dream even if ejaculation is avoided.

When the production of semen is continuous (as in case of the normal man who indulges in sexual arousal) it will have to be expelled. A man who is constantly producing units after units of semen further to sexual arousal on a regular basis will have to expel the semen. Gross semen in the physical form is constantly produced by the body in large volumes in a person who is constantly getting himself aroused in the sex plane. Such a person has only two options:

1. Either regularly expel the semen through the sex act and debilitate oneself
  OR
2. Stop all forms of sexual arousal at the mental and physical level and transmute the residual semen into 'Ojas'.

Further to absolute and true, unbroken Brahmacharya in thought, word and deed with constant God-meditation lasting longer than a year the body will produce lesser and lesser quantities of semen as the 'Prana' or vital energy directly goes into building the body, mind and intellect of the person without being converted into the physical fluid called semen. The semen producing nature of the system slowly starts getting 'switched off'. This is when the man actually starts transcending the state of transmutation and slowly starts climbing the path of becoming an 'Urdhvareta' or a non-semen producing yogi. This is when true Brahmacharya may be assumed as having started. Till this point of time, the body will be passing through a state where it is refurbishing and revitalizing (by making use of the conserved semen) each and every organ that had started getting debilitated due to the previous lifestyle of seminal wastage.

If the practice of Brahmacharya beyond this state is continuous, true and genuine the yogi gradually starts progressing towards reaching the state of an Urdhvareta (which takes many years) by producing lesser and lesser volumes of semen. He starts to become more and more calm, composed and powerful at the physical and mental levels with unshakable confidence, grit and determination to handle the eventualities of life. He begins to slowly realize the truth that he is something beyond the body, mind, intellect and ego and that everything around him including himself are mere projections of the one single Almighty Lord. That each and every happening is master controlled by the Almighty and nothing really is in the hands of man. That we are only tools in the hands of the master sculptor and that life becomes one smooth journey if we give in to Godly commands instead of flexing our individual and powerless ego. Words fail to describe the joy and bliss one starts to experience further to taking steps in this direction by the honest practice of Brahmacharya.

It is for this reason that the real benefits of Brahmacharya accrue further to its practice in thought, word and deed. Merely refraining from ejaculation is alright before the start of celibacy for it helps one develop independence from the slavery of orgasmic pleasure, but this independence will eventually have to be converted into the next higher state namely independence from the need for sexual arousal/pleasure itself if one wishes for higher and loftier benefits.

God bless and have a nice day :-)

QUESTION: Thanks for good response..

One more thing to clear up..I heard that in Tantric sex they are asked to preserve male sexual fluid but still they get involved in sexual activity and they claim to experience intense pleasure lasting for hours..

Can we increase our pleasure by refraing ejaculation?
