Scientific reason why masturbation is actually really bad for men. Made me think twice.

You know, what's weird is I thought the whole semengate thing was ridiculous. Fire a famous, immensely well respected and intelligent doctor simply because he espoused the fact that semen is actually a more complex and important substance than previously thought?

But looking at these reactions. WOW!!! This is like semengate all over again. All the ignorant attacks from people who probably know nothing about chemistry, hormones, or nutrition. What is the deal?

Okay, lets reverse it.

-It takes no special chemicals, vitamins, minerals, or energy at all for your body to produce semen. It is like water.

And the same thing goes for blood too of course. It is perfectly fine to let out a pint of blood every single day. Because there is nothing special about blood either. Just red stuff that comes out that your body can replace in a single day.

Women with heavy periods don't have any problem with anemia or iron or anything else.

All you have to do is drink water to replenish semen and blood.

And your body makes semen or blood out of any ol' thing. If the baby turns out okay that is just luck.

So go donate your blood and semen every day, twice a day. You'll be fine.

this is why chinese are so skinny

Wait a sec so you're now saying masturbation is okay? Was you trollin'?

you'r 100% right, OP fail.

I used to think it didnt matter that much. But then again the same people who are telling us radiation in our milk is ok and safe are saying wacking off 10 times a day is perfectly safe. But chinese masters always believed it raised your chi energy. And boxers have an old thing about no sex or masterbation a month before a fight to be at peak performance.

What if you bang your wife like 3 times a day?

I came in here expecting an article from some scientific research they have done, instead I got this bullshit.

Done some googling and got info that semen doesn't contain nutrients except of small amount of fructose.

And sex before match is confirmed as a myth

"The night before has no effect on strength or endurance or any of the physical abilities of the athletes," says physiology expert Dr Ian Shrirer, a former president of the Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine. "A lot of people think it has to do with the psychological effects."

Most elite athletes need to be aggressive to compete at the top levels of their sport, Dr Shrirer says. But there is such a thing as being too aggressive, and that's where sex can make a positive difference.

Retention of Semen

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Mahat-tattva Dasa

impossible for any tonic or dietary aid to emulate. The current craze for vitamin and mineral supplements is an attempt to make up for self-imposed deficiencies. Most people don’t know that they are passing out their very life energy with that essential bodily fluid. If semen is lost, all bodily and sensory functions are weakened. Repeated loss of semen spoils the determination and clear, sattvika intelligence necessary for spiritual understanding. However, if semen is retained in the body, there develops what Ayurveda refers to as ojas, a vital fluid that gives strength, luster, enhanced mental abilities and immunity to diseases, and slows the aging process.

Scientists cannot prove or disprove this, but it is observable in the brightness of yogis and the dullness of those who regularly “spill their brains out.” Retention of semen, then, is ultimately meant for the evolution of the human being to higher levels of spiritual consciousness. Simply by retaining semen in the body, one develops a tendency towards greatness.

On the other hand, those who are addicted to discharging semen become petty and bestially lusty. The disastrous fruits of their promiscuity await them. They will be forced to devolve into lower species of life. Even in this life, excessive seminal loss can lead to physical and mental weakness. As the body ages, vitality and the will to get things done ebb away, and perpetual tiredness sets in. The pills and intoxicants people take to artificially keep them bright and active further add to their physical and mental degeneration. As premature old age sets in, their exhausted bodies cannot resist the dozens of diseases which proceed to ravage every cell in their organism. For such persons, the all-too-common senility comes as a relief. Srila Prabhupada: “The more one enjoys in youth, the more he suffers in old age.” (SB 4.28.1)

Srila Prabhupada: “Wasting semen is also illicit sex.” (SB 7.12, Introduction) “The faculty to discharge semen is the cause of death. Therefore, yogis and transcendentalists who want to live for greater spans of life voluntarily restrain themselves from discharging semen. The more one can restrain the discharge of semen, the more one can be aloof from the problem of death. There are many yogis living up to three hundred or seven hundred years by this process, and in the Bhagavatam it is clearly stated that discharging semen is the cause of horrible death. The more one is addicted to sexual enjoyment, the more susceptible he is to a quick death.” (SB 3.26.57)

Therefore, brahmacaris are trained not to squander their semen. They must resist the temporary feeling of gratification that is bought at the cost of their own life energy.

SEMEN IS THE CAUSE OF A HORRIBLE DEATH

The vital energy, the Veerya that supports your life which shines in your sparkling eyes, which beams in your shining cheeks, is a great treasure for you. Remember this point well. Veerya is the quintessence of blood. One drop of semen is manufactured out of forty drops of blood. Mark here how valuable this fluid is!

A tree draws the essence or Rasa from the earth. This essence is circulated throughout the tree, its twigs, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. The shining colours and life in the leaves, flowers and fruits are due to this Rasa. Similarly, the Veerya that is manufactured by the cells of the testes out of blood gives colour and vitality to the human body and its different organs.

According to Ayurveda, semen is the last Dhatu that is formed out of food. Out of food is manufactured chyle. Out of chyle comes blood. Out of blood comes flesh. Out of flesh comes fat. Out of fat comes bone. Out of bone comes marrow. Out of marrow comes semen. These are the Sapta Dhatus or the seven Dhatus that support this life and body. Mark here how precious is semen! It is the last essence. It is the Essence of essences. The Veerya comes out of the very marrow that lies concealed inside the bones. There are three divisions in each Dhatu. Semen nourishes the physical body, the heart and the intellect. Only that man who uses the physical body, the heart and the intellect can have perfect Brahmacharya. A wrestler who uses his physical body only, but keeps the intellect and the heart undeveloped, cannot expect to have full Brahmacharya. He can have Brahmacharya of the body only, but not of the mind and the heart. The semen that belongs to the heart and the mind will certainly flow out.

Semen is the quintessence of food or blood. One drop of semen in manufactured out of forty drops of blood according to modern medical science. According to Ayurveda, it is elaborated out of eighty drops of blood. The two testes or seeds that are located in the scrotal bag are called secretory glands. The cells of these testes have been endowed with the peculiar property of secreting semen from the blood. Just as bees collect honey in the honeycomb drop by drop, so also, the cells of the testes collect semen drop by drop from the blood. Then this fluid is taken by the two ducts or tubes to the vesiculae seminalis. Under excitement, it is thrown out by special ducts, called ejaculatory ducts, into the urethra where it is mixed with the prostatic juice.

Semen is found in a subtle state in all the cells of the body. Just as sugar is all-pervading in the sugar-cane, butter in milk, so also, semen is pervading the whole body. Just as the butter milk is thin after the butter is removed, so also, semen is thinned by its wastage. The more the wastage of semen the more is the weakness.

Retention of Semen

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Mahat-tattva Dasa

Scientists have analyzed semen to be amazingly rich in hormones, proteins, vitamins, minerals, ions, enzymes, trace elements, and other vital substances. By nature’s arrangement, this substance, when mixed with the ovum, is sufficient for the procreation of a new body. By nature’s arrangement also, if it is not used for procreation but is kept within, it nourishes the body and brain in a way impossible for any tonic or dietary aid to emulate. The current craze for vitamin and mineral supplements is an attempt to make up for self-imposed deficiencies. Most people don’t know that they are passing out their very life energy with that essential bodily fluid. If semen is lost, all bodily and sensory functions are weakened. Repeated loss of semen spoils the determination and clear, sattvika intelligence necessary for spiritual understanding.

I am a woman, and I'm actually in a university study for women right now where I have to whip off 3x a week for 10 weeks.

After any 2 minute attempt at sex or masturbation, I have to hop on line and answer a 5 min survey. Hahah!

I fell behind last week and actually felt guilty I did not play pussy.

Ah, life. It's been good.

What if "I" bang your wife like 3 times a day?

Do you know how many bitches haven't been raped because guys masturbate? You don't want a bunch of tense guys with full balls walking around trust me.

this is why chinese are so skinny

Masturbation is actually a necessity because it removes aging sperm from your body so it can be replaced by fresher, younger, healthier sperm.

The younger, newer sperm is more likely to impregnate a woman than the older, geriatric sperm.

One thing a man might notice if he doesn't masturbate or have sex for a while, he'll have wet dreams every so often, not just teens, even adult men. The wet dreams are just a natural way of ridding the body of old, geriatric sperm, so it can be replaced by the newer, younger sperm being produced in the testes.

So masturbation actually isn't bad, as long as you're not doing it too often. Other factors like testes size, libido, overall health (diet, exercise) also need to be taken into account. If you're super healthy, then you can afford to masturbate more often than someone who is not. If you have larger than average testicles, then you will also masturbate more often and have sex more often as well.

Well, women can masturbate all the time if they like to...it won't have any influence on their 'eggs'.

(isn't that strange?)

Survival of the fittest, which are us women...(in this case)

The greater the needs, the badder the seeds...
