Looking for wisdom on semen retention

[wilfred]

energy must first be balanced through the subtle body with a level of virtue as basis for cultivating energy. otherwise when you turn up the volume sexual kammas will scream the loudest.

I guess technically I still practice semen retention but from the celibate Buddhist perspective where there is no stimulation. This works much better for me or as instead of becoming sex crazed I have very little interest anymore.

From what I understood, all of us in the west have been brainwashed about what sex is and how it is done.

 

Sex seen in porn videos is far from what we are all discovering here. Hence the main focus should be on learning how to deal with the energy which circulates internally and the energy which is generated in the testicles during arousal. Seems like we did not care before to fill the bucket too much and to spill all over.

 

So probably to further understand that humans are first energetic and spiritual beings, then physical beings, we need to un-learn what society has told us.

 

For now, I understood that semen is not just some liquid, so I need to learn how to generate sexual energy in the amount I can handle it without wasting, and by handle I mean use it for me, for my whole body and spirit.

 

If you boil it down eventually, all the techniques talk about how to not to waste sexual energy, some say that you can go near to the point of no return and then do breathing / energetic exercises, others say that you better stay more far away from that point.
