Look Younger, Think Clearer, Live Longer
Or
The New Science of Seminal Conservation
by Edwin Flatto
March 2005
This new science is based upon
thousands of years of study, observation, and
experimentation. It has been refined and developed to a new
degree, thus entitling it to the appellation “new”. The
science of seminal conservation allows you to conserve seminal
fluid for nourishing, improving and perfecting your body and
brain when reproduction is not mutually desired.
Nature puts the most valuable
ingredients in the seed in all forms of life in order to
provide for continuation of the species. And the fluid
(semen) a man discharges during sexual relations contains the
human seed. The human seed, of course, contains all essential
elements necessary to create another human being when it is
united with an ovum. It contains forces capable of creating
life! Doesn’t common sense decree that such a vital fluid be
carefully conserved, rather than thoughtlessly squandered?
How can a state of health, energy, and power be built when the
most basic elements are being excessively squandered?
In order to properly evaluate
the physiological benefits of seminal conservation, an
analysis of seminal fluid is essential.
The seminal fluid is a viscid,
proteinaceous fluid composed of secretory products of the
testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and
Cowper’s gland. It is rich in potassium, iron, lecithin,
vitamin E. protease, spermine, albumen, phosphorous, calcium
and other organic minerals and vitamins. The average normal
ejaculation, about two to five cubic centimeters of semen,
contains 200 to 500 million sperm which are rich in nuclear
proteins, the male hormones or androgens such as testosterone,
or other essential elements. The Sertoli cells in the testes
produce another hormone, Inhibin. These hormones, or
androgens, including testosterone, go directly into the blood
stream if not ejaculated and are carried to every part of your
body. They stimulate your pituitary gland and creative
centers of your brain.
Each one of these millions of
sperm carry 23 chromosomes, split chromosomes, prostaglandins,
genes, bioelectricity, and all vitamins, enzymes and minerals
necessary for the creation of another human being when united
with an ovum.
An analysis of both brain
cells and semen shows great similarities. Both are very high
in phosphorus, sodium, magnesium and chlorine. The sex glands
and brain cells are intimately connected physiologically, but
are adversaries in the sense that they are both competing for
the same nutritional elements from the identical blood
stream. In this sense, the brain and the sexual organs are
also competitors in using bodily energy and nutrition.
There are only so many
nutrients in your blood stream. Your body can only assimilate
limited quantities of nutrients in a given period of time.
Phosphorus, for example, is required in both the thinking and
reproductive processes. Still, your body can only assimilate
finite or limited quantities of phosphorus from the diet to
meet these demands in a twenty-four hour period. If most
nutrients in your blood are going into meeting demands of your
gonads, and being ejaculated there will be little left over to
meet nutritional demands of the rest of your body and brain.
The energy of your body is
most potent when used in one direction. An analogy: If you
were to open the spigot in your kitchen sink while all other
faucets were shut, you’d have great water pressure from that
faucet, but if you simultaneously flush your toilet, turn on
your shower, water your lawn, fill your bath tub and run your
washer, the water pressure at each outlet would drop
dramatically. The same is true of your body. A man cannot
think or perform his best when much of this energy and blood’s
nutriments are expended in the discharge of semen.
Most sexual relationships
begin with a great deal of sexual activity during which the
man ejaculates frequently. He just can’t seem to get enough.
After each ejaculation he becomes more depleted and
exhausted. The loss of energy due to excessive ejaculation is
a slow and subtle process that most men don’t usually notice
until it’s too late. After countless episodes, a
deterioration of your body sets in. As a man gets older, he
may rationalize this lack of energy and loss of sexual vigor
on his age. He is only too happy to continue pumping out his
semen, sometimes even paying for the privilege and
accelerating his deterioration!
I want to reassert at this
point that vigorous health is your best aphrodisiac. And an
important factor in obtaining vigorous health is the fuller
knowledge of nutrition in meeting the demands of an active,
sexual, fulfilling life. Not only is a proper diet necessary
to keep arteries clean so blood can flow freely to all vital
organs as well as your corpora cavernosa penis, but also to
replenish body chemistry. Cooked, canned, fried, processed,
irradiated, barbecued, microwaved, degerminated, preserved,
chemicalized, homogenized, pasteurized and otherwise
devitalized foods are not the best materials to be converted
into healthy tissues, blood and vital organs needed for
vigorous health – and certainly not to meet the demands of an
active sexual life. Poor health and/or poor diet demand that
a man ejaculate no more than once a month if he wants to avoid
mental and physical bankruptcy.
Can you have an orgasm without
ejaculating? Some experts think so. Note the following from
Male Sexuality:
“Most authorities have
accepted the contention of Masters and Johnson that while
women have several different patterns of orgasmic response,
only one type of ejaculatory response is possible for men. We
disagree with this thinking, having ourselves experienced
different ejaculator patterns and having heard from a number
of other men that they sometimes have ejaculations
substantially different from the Masters and Johnson
standard. Sometimes the excitement is so intense before
ejaculation that it in itself feels like a long orgasm, and
the actual ejaculation not only doesn’t add anything to it but
is experienced as a letdown.
“While ejaculation and orgasm
are often used synonymously even by some sex experts, we find
it useful to distinguish between them. Ejaculation is the
physical process involved in propelling the semen through the
penis. Orgasm refers to what you feel. Generally the two go
together; you ejaculate and enjoy very pleasurable feelings.
But one can occur without the other. You can have orgasms
without ejaculating. Some men have trained themselves to do
this and, according to their reports, have been able to have
multiple orgasms like women. And some men, who have trained
themselves carefully to tune into their sensations during sex,
say that they sometimes notice very high peaks of feeling long
before ejaculation. Were they not so indoctrinated in the
idea that orgasm occurs only with pelvic contractions and
ejaculations, they would be inclined to call these peaks
orgasms.”
The idea of conserving the
seminal fluid is not a new one. The Bible has many references
to the harmfulness of wasting this vital fluid. In the
allegory of Samson and Delilah, for example, it seems quite
obvious that the beautiful but cunning Delilah knew that the
secret of Samson’s strength resided in this seminal fluid.
When she went to bed with Samson, she was out to drain him of
his vital fluid, not shear him of his long hair. She was
sophisticated enough to know that if she emptied him of his
seminal fluid, his strength would diminish. After Samson
practiced a period of abstinence, he regained his strength,
and he was able to break his chains, bringing down the
supporting pillars where he was held captive and thereby
destroying himself, his prison and his captors. (Because the
Bible was written for the family, I believe they substituted
Samson’s hair for his seminal fluid.)
Onan’s sin of casting his seed
upon the ground (for which his penalty was death) is another
biblical warning against wasting seminal fluid. Apparently
the sages who wrote the Bible realized the biological power of
seminal fluid and the wisdom of conserving it for purposes
higher than just momentary sensual self-indulgence. One
purpose of circumcision is to desensitize the glans penis so
sexual desire is more easily controlled. It is said that
Abraham, the first Jew, was circumcised to remind himself of
his covenant with God.
Next to the Bible, probably
the oldest sex instruction book was the S’u Wen Ne’ I Chin,
written over forty centuries ago. For several centuries it as
studied and practiced by Chinese nobility, but for some
unknown reason, it was suppressed. However, many of its
teachings were recorded and still practiced by followers of
Taoism. They believed that retaining the seminal fluid
contributed to health, vitality and long life. According to
Taoist historians, it was considered the duty of a member of
the nobility to satisfy at least seven of his wives or
concubines daily. To accomplish this, a method of sexual
intercourse was developed which retained the ejaculate so that
his health and vitality were not drained.
The Taoists finally developed
a method of “injaculating”, or having an orgasm without
ejaculating. This was accomplished by pressing an acupuncture
point midway between the scrotum and anus (perineum) in the
male just before ejaculation was anticipated so that the
ejaculate was prevented from leaving the body during orgasm.
Thus the semen was recycled and reabsorbed into the blood
stream. If you would like to learn more about this method of
lovemaking and are willing to devote considerable study time
and effort, I suggest the following reading: The Tao of
Sexology by Dr. Stephen T. Chang, The Tao of Love and
Sex: The Ancient Chinese Way to Ecstasy by John Chang,
and Taoist’s Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual
Energy by Mantak Chia.
In athletics, most
professional coaches and trainers forbid sexual relations
before a contest to conserve contestants’ energy and power.
Prizefighters also observe strict sexual abstinence during
training and before a bout. In his book, Muhammad Ali, the
Greatest, Muhammad Ali quotes Olympic boxing coach Harry
Wiley: “There’s a kid just come down here named Cassius
Clay. If you bet on him every time he fights, you’ll be a
rich man, ‘cause he won’t lose a single fight. I believe his
thing is sexual control. And he’s got it. Any kid who can
control his sex can with the title. I believe it.”
It is in the first few minutes
of the sex act when there is most sensitivity. If you control
the act during the moments by not rushing, you will find that
you can continue for a longer period of time without feeling
the urge to ejaculate.
You can learn to control the
length of the sex act, and if so desired, frequency of the sex
act, by not ejaculating, without harm, but with benefit
systematically.
With each successive episode
your control should improve. You should soon be able to have
sexual intercourse as often as you desire, with no loss of
power, energy, strength, vigor, potency and health, as long as
you do not waste your seminal fluid.
One of the questions I am
often asked is which coital position is best? Actually, a man
who has mastered this science should be able to control this
ejaculation in any position. However, the woman on top in the
prone position should enable the man to have more control over
his ejaculation. For this reason, it is a very good position
for beginners. The only problem with this position is that a
man needs a good stiff erection in order to penetrate
properly. A rubbery or semi-hard erection will not serve the
purpose. To overcome this drawback for a man with a “semi”,
some couples start with the man on top and after penetration
roll over so that the woman is on top.
Because training oneself to
control sexual intercourse before reaching the
point-of-no-return is difficult, most men are reluctant to try
it. Almost all of the time and pleasure in sexual intercourse
is derived from the pre-ejaculation phase. Learning to be
satisfied at that point is crucial. Like they say on Wall
Street: “The bulls make money and the bears make money – but
the hogs get slaughtered!”
The master of Taoist
philosophy, Dr. Stephen Chang wrote: “When the average male
ejaculates, he loses about one tablespoon of semen. According
to scientific research, the nutritional value of this amount
of semen is equal to that of two pieces of New York steak, ten
eggs, six oranges, and two lemons combined. That includes
proteins, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, everything…
Ejaculation is often called ‘coming’. The precise word for it
should be ‘going,’ because everything – the erection, vital
energy, millions of live sperm, hormones, nutrients, even a
little of the man’s personality goes away. It is a great
sacrifice for the man, spirituality, mentally, and
physically.”
Remember, with a little
patience and practice, the rewards of “THE NEW SEXUAL SCIENCE
OF SEMINAL CONSERVATION” can be yours!
“The scientists of old have
put great value upon the vial fluid and they have insisted
upon its strong transmutation into the highest form of energy
for the befit of society.”
Muhatma Ghandi, 1959
“The strength of the body,
the light of the eyes, and the entire life of the man is
slowly being lost by too much loss of the vital fluid.”

“The stuff of the sexual
life is the stuff of art; if it is expended in one channel it
is lost for the other.”

believe in the correctness of the regimens you recommend...and
I do not doubt all of us would do better if we followed your
maxims.”
