A theory on why NoFap/Semen retention decreases anxiety makes us more present

Michael is not Asian though. These practices just tend to be brushed off in "the west" or hidden under secret organizations, governmental fronts, huge pay walls, etc. In the east it's pretty chill about esoteric stuff because the infrastructure is still highly undeveloped and people still live like 1600s in many parts of the east. Whereas in America and Europe there are no aboriginal tribes anymore.
He speaks and teaches in English anyway

 

"There is enough stuff available from my own ancestors that I don't need to mimic people I have nothing in common with with an entirely different history."

I thought Nei gong internal arts are about meridian/energy points in the body that exist in each and every one of us. People of science may think it's hogwash but i don't think it's got to do with mimicking anyone. maybe the ancient indians talk about similar stuff like chakras.

 

Yeah. We figured. Bye for now.

 

gateway to pmo? I aint no expert but i do standing meditation as part of my recovery program. Part of the problem of these internal arts is a lack of unified teaching methods. You really don't know who knows what and whether they are bogus or the real thing. personally, in the area of martial arts, i have felt those who use the so-called internal energy. It wasn't mma stuff, it was like magic. Completely changed my thinking regarding those ancient teachings.

 

Oh, i didnt know magik n superpowers was big on the forum. And no, im not into cultish magic powers. what i said felt like magic was actually, in a simplified manner, a developed connection of the fascia system (which usually lies undeveloped within us), refined and in tune with the mind. So it's scientific base.

Im not sure how esoteric methods are designed to sedate a healthy sex drive, though it was supposed to promote a healthy body and mind. The internal art guy i mentioned said "if you train this stuff, when you are 60, you'll be fu*king like a 30 yo". I don't know about that but he is around 60, and fit as a fiddle. There's this other chi gung fella i met who teaches sexual chi gung stuff (i didn't take the course) who boasted of how his wife is always happy. during the intro course, he even offered to show how his dick can carry 2kg of weight. i declined the offer. But then again ive seen vids on youtube of masters who seem so out of shape so i really don't know.

However i admit some of this esoteric practice carries risk if it is not done correctly, that's what i hear. I think people who are in the internal arts sometimes like to make it all magical/mysterious sounding cause it adds to the allure of the subject, or they actually cant explain why it happens because they've only been trained the old way (ie just shut up and train). Good luck with your journey.

 

Its never magic, but let me tell you what will science says about PMO. The first thing you will see in the internet once you search for it or the doctors will suggest to you, is that its healthy. And that will tell the difference from what you call magic and the established suggestion of a current civilization for you being here in Nofap forum because you know there is something wrong with your body and you want to know what's the truth behind all these phenomenon, this PMO bring, why just can't you have the pleasure and highs, why bring the destruction from different facets of your body with it and especially it's highly addictive properties.

 

Yes. But they did say this after 70 years of research, for the record for cigarette although clinical proven still many people are addicted to it, saying one stick can't harm, like one stick once a week or so, well this cycle is very similar to a fapper, so science might prove the fatal effect of PMO to health after how many decades would you wait until it is official proven, so when all the things you knew that was wrong can't be undone now, when all health is deteriorated, when you aged enough and all sickness induced by PMO have come to its peak. That within you, you know its cause but so blinded by the highs of it, still helpless to get out of that vice.

You can, the sun is meant to shine on your face.

 

Dont listen to that, you know it's wrong if it promotes edging, you need to transmute that sexual energy by exerting your force to the things that you love the most like improving your life, achieving your dream, anything that brings goodness in life.

 

Huh? Edging? You mean the sexual chi gung thing? Nah, man, it's a sexual health seminar. I saw an ad, thought it look interesting and went to the intro but never took the course. But I agree with you on the edging, transmute stuff. Definitely. Thx, mate!

 

Ahh, NoFap superpowers, ok I see what u mean. Nice to know that your culture has a tradition of abstinence. For so long I had an attitude of "if u got it, use it" but I am now learning to acknowledge and respect that energy. Great to hear your views.
