    Hello Semen Retainers,
    It all started when I watched this a video by BuddhaXan in youtube channel(I have shared the link), where he says the benefits of contraction of pelvic muscles. When I researcched a bit more I found that it's know as Mula Bandh.
    (note:Blue words are hyperlinked. Click on em').

    So today I would like to gather some information for you on what Hindus call "Mula Bandh". Mula means the root. Bandh is to lock.

    Here is an excerpt from the book (A wonderful book on Brahmacharya).
    In the excerpt he says a few things more than just contracting the pelvic muscles: How to keep your legs during the Mula Bandh which are not explained in the sources I am gonna List further.
    The best thing about this is: one can lift up his sexual energy using this!

    If you wanna know what Siddhasana means in the above excerpt:
    Another wonderful Youtube channel is YogaLAP. Here is the Video where he explains MulaBandh with Breathing.


    If some of you in this forum don't believe much in Brahmacharya: Read On:

    A related (or almost same) exercise is the KegelExercise which is also contracting your pelvic floor. It all says the same: Contract your PC muscles. This is all same as Mula Bandha what is given in the above excerpt. Look at the benefits of Kegel.

    Now I started believing in This Contraction of pelvic floor when I saw this video:

    BuddhaXan first explains about wet dreams. Watch till the end and he explains completely about Mula Bandh(even though he doesn't say this word), how it prevents WetDreams. He has some more videos about topics in his youtube channel. Do check them out. This is a must: The Ultimate NoFap/Semen Retention Q/A

    And Finally,
    I thank this community for support, because I am soo better after joining this community.

    Thanks Brothers.
    Please share your Thoughts:)

    Finally: I would like to say that there are actually 2 more Bandhas!! Check them out if you're more interested to know.

    Yes, this stuff is natural human function that is not practiced by most modern humans, similar to how average people have 0 flexibility in the back and legs / core of the structure. It's essential if you practice hardmode/monkmode longterm.

    Thanks for the post. I am not very familiar with this. Is it somehow related to Kundalini (that the energy travels through the spine)?

    I think YES as the author of the book brahmacharya writes in the above quote. The energy rises up through the Kundalini.

    Great Information! Thank you!

    That last video helped things finally click for me.

    The Body generates semen.
    Some component of the semen is then transferred up the spine to the brain (as long as that pathway is not blocked) which results in increased longevity and other healing benefits.

    As long as you're transferring this up, it stands to reason that if you can generate more semen you can have more benefits.

    This would explain why Taoists would have sex with women, specifically to generate more semen in themselves to transfer up as "energy" to slow aging. This "energy" may be in actuality stem-cells and molecules required for transportation.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices#Women

    Edging?

    Not all of us have the option to have sex with women.
    So it stands to reason that edging would have the same or similar effects. Generates semen for which the vital component can be sent up the spinal cord.

    We all know the downsides to edging (addiction, over-stimulation, etc.) but when combined with sexual transmutation this may be a big benefit to the practice.

    There may be an optimal effective does that's not so often that your brain is always fried, but not so infrequent that you don't get the added semen creation boost.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices

    The Taoists specifically would have "as much sex as possible" to maximize their benefits. We might be able to get similar benefits from edging with modern porn, but again there's that trade off with possible frying our brains.

    Anyways I thought I throw this idea out there to see what others thought. It could be an area for possible research/experimentation.

    My question to you is, did you try it ? If so for how long? And in case you have stopped doing it, what made you do so??

    I tell you why I am asking you in such detail. Because I have recently read the shit out of the importance of bandhs and have been practicing it regularly. It has had some impact on me and things are going as per plan, however, the duration and the method differs with everyone, that is why I wanted to ask your experience as well, because very very few people do this.

    I am still doing it, Moola Bandh. How long? Well whenever I am conscious of myself I try to squeeze PC muscles (ofc not always), or when I sit for meditation, I do moola bandh for quite a while.
    This will help you control the urges, and I think in some sense transmutes energy (although I am not sure of this as I am not able to check it). Most often, our urges are nothing but pressure in root chakra (which is because we are not used to holding semen for long streaks). When you strengthen the root chakra, by bandhas you automatically gain more self control.
    The best attitude you can have towards this practice is the one explained by Buddha Xan.

    Great read man, thanks for sharing.

    However reading the contents of the first link I'm facing duality. On one hand sex seem to be a way for man to collect jing and turn it to chi which is great.

    On the other hand, if it is that benefitial/good why we invented so many religions( or sent by God, whatever) that restrict sex before marriage and even after marriage it is ONLY going to be with one woman?

    Why don't religions think to the benefit of people? So religions were meant to be mass control? To restrict men from having sex with every female and prevent production of un-fathered children?

    I'd appreciate if someone enlighten me on this topic.
     
  13. Religions in general are the search for connection with the Creator, there is truth and falsehood out there. One truth is that today, men are out there having sex with multiple women. And if it weren’t for birth control, the natural results would be disastrous. By nature, it works better for a man to be with one woman because he had a chance to build a life for the woman and child and spend his resources caring for the children. Otherwise, the amount of unaccounted pregnancies would run wild and there would be a lot of women bearing children with no support or aid or way to go on. That still happens a lot due to peoples fornicating ways but less so than if we didn’t have modern birth control

  14. So it'll make matters worse then? Edging anyway leads to precum which is not what you want so that's why I don't believe in edging.

    I think edging is extremely bad. Based on what I have read and on my own experience. Edging is not good for the prostate and for health. Building up sexual energy and then not releasing and keeping that energy stuck is not good. I don't recommend it. Better masturbate and release than edge, but of course, I don't recommend masturbation eider. With porn or without.

    The body knows how to allocate energy based on needs.
    If you have a great desire to achieve something, the body will give it the energy it needs for its manifestation.
    Da Vinci and Tesla never used such techniques.
