Re: chronic self-gratification

western medicine claims that men naturally replenish their semen soon after ejaculation and that the capability to replenish is never ending. This is a generalization and fallacy simply give a pint of blood and see how tired you are as it takes often a day or two to replenish energy. According to eastern medicine it is the same with semen and it takes a while to establish hormone balance. When ejaculation exceeds the ability to replenish you may experience fatigue, low resistance and irritability

The answer lies in the taoist art of ejaculation control not necessarily celibacy. Someone more qualified than I can explain how to utilize the semen to drive the energy and fluids up the spine and into the organs and brain. Excessive self-gratification may deplete the cerebrospinal fluid and lead to senilty and degenarative conditions. It is known that must zinc is lost which affects mental function.

I first learned these Taoist methods in a book called the Tao of health sex and longevity by Daniel P. Reid. He is a western author who researches eastern methods and ties things together pretty good.
