Is ejaculation good or bad?

Awesome job mate! 42 is great for a start, you should be proud and you should definitely keep going. I will only share my opinion and say that ejaculation is not healthy.

Good that you found out about retention, here is one post that you can read.

I'd answer the question this way, and I am NOT trying to be glib.

Oxygen is good for you. Too little will kill you. Too much will kill you.

Ejaculation: The body has figured out how to prevent you from doing too little: the wet dream, and gradual release into the urine and the blood stream. Do you think your creator left it up to you to make sure you did it enough? So ejaculating.....in very limited amounts....won't hurt you. But causing yourself to ejaculate, is 100% unnecessary.

My doctor (urologist) says, "less is more" in terms of ejaculation. He said the only real reason to intentionally ejaculate is for having a baby.

 

I think it can be good. Long as it doesn't rule your life, probably can't do your body wrong to clean your tubes out

 

I totally agree with your doctor. He is a rear example amongst doctors today.

 

In terms of the Bible this isn't true at all. For a husband and wife in marriage, sex is something to be done often and enjoyed. A gift from God. It is a special bond between two people that is like nothing else. Just making a baby is definitely not its only purpose.

 

I certainly will not challenge the Bible's meaning. I am utterly unworthy to do so.

I think you are referring to the book Song of Songs? But that, too, is old testament. Old testament also explains the period of "Niddah" or unclean during a woman's period and she is not to be touched.

I am not aware of any New Testament reference specifically to sex with husband and wife.

(I am delighted to read whatever you suggest. The Bible is a never-ending learning experience for me.)

For the record, I don't want to cower from an opinion, but I think in terms of the Bible sex was a gift that had a purpose: to promote the having of children. So the real question, is "abstaining" from having children the real sin?

 

I would highly suggest not throwing out the Old Testament teachings simply because the New Testament exists. That isn't how it works. Jesus didn't come to make the Old Testament irrelevant, He came to further expand on it. Simple things like eating unclean food that can now be eaten are of course obvious ones, but there is the 10 Commandments. It says thou shall not commit adultery, but Jesus explains that if you eve n think of another woman besides your wife lustfully, you have already committed adultery in your heart. This was to further illustrate that we need Christ and that it is literally impossible for anyone to completely follow the 10 Commandments. It's meant to humble us and experience humility in our need for something more.

The Song of Solomon is actually a very good example of how a husband and wife are to enjoy each other. The bible does not say that not having children is a sin. Not every woman is meant to be a mother. And that's okay. Not everyone is going to have children. If it's in God's plan, then it will happen. If it's not, it won't. And nothing will change that. Yes, God wants us to be fruitful and multiply, but this is not a command. Nor is it sin not to have children.

This article should help you see how sex in marriage goes infinitely deeper than simply reproduction: tinyurl/y7p679ph (put the dottt commm after tinyurl since I can't post links yet)

 

Its bad.

You have done a great job by abstaining for 45 days! Now make those 45 days infinity!
