Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

In The Beginning

Like many of you, I discovered porn innocently back in junior high by a classmate of mine. At first, I was curious about what hentai was all about. That curiosity wasn’t all that bad at first, but it slowly went out of control. From comics to anime then to porn. It distorted my views on women. Associating women as an object of pleasure.

My friends would call me up and I would not be down to hang. Pretty much was not interested in life in general. I had planned on working on personal projects but they never got started because I just didn’t have the motivation to get started. I would just sit there watching videos endlessly. And it wasn’t the paying attention to what’s going on, it was that I was not aware of what’s going on at all. There are differences between watching TV attentively and watching TV mindlessly. It’s like I was there physically but the pilot was gone. I would skip classes because I felt it was boring and didn’t feel motivated enough.

At first, I thought it was certain bodily dysfunction, I started seeing doctors here and there. Took a bunch of medication for depression-like Prozac, multivitamins pills. They worked for a short time but the symptoms would return after a while.

I spent years going through both Western and Eastern medical teachings. Soon started to see major differences. Western medical science as a whole tends to fix the bodily problem at it’s source. Specific drugs for specific problems. Whereas Eastern medical science tends to do that at it’s cause. Herbs to replenish multiple organs to improve the symptoms. Imagine you are a farmer who irrigates your crops by the river. One day you noticed the water became polluted; you installed a water filtration system to filter out the pollutant. Whereas another way to fix it is to stop the factory from polluting the water.

腎精 (The essence of the kidney)

The Discovery

One day I came across an article on how long term masturbation can damage your vital organs with multiple symptoms like lethargy, unmotivated about life in general, soreness in the lower back, bad memory, trouble in concentration, hair loss, dark circles, eyesight, impotence and hearing deterioration and weakness in teeth, etc. I was like, that got to be some kind of concordance. Who would have associated jerking off with all these symptoms right? At first, I treated it as one of those new-age woo-woo, but I was like it wouldn’t hurt reading it anyway.

腎精 (The essence of the kidney), in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) there are two types, the first type is given when you were born. It governs the ability to give birth. The second type is what you get from the food. It matters how your organs function.

In TCM, they believe when you deplete this essence, you are reducing your body’s ability to grow and regenerate. It is especially crucial for kids going through adolescence. Waste of semen is associated with the depletion of the essence of the kidney, it causes improper growth in the physical body and slowness in brain development. For adults, depletion of this essence either through masturbation, intercourse, or other means is associated with a bunch of health issues mentioned above.

腎藏精, 主骨, 通腦 (The essence of the kidney stores your growing essence, governs the bone and connects to the brain ). This explains why multiple people experience lower back issues and concentration problems after excessive masturbation.

In TCM, they believe your semen is connected to your brain fluid. Draining your semen is equivalent to making you stupid. It is also connected to your bone marrow. Just think about it, your seed has the power to create another thinking human being. It has a lot of power. Modern science also starts to realize the similarity between the brain and the semen fluid.

There are also teachings on the type of food in combination with herbs you eat to promote better recovery. Pressure points are also used in this process. I remember vividly. After about two weeks of doing this in a combination of abstinence, I felt so much better. Had better stamina, the lower back issue was slowly gone, and that little pilot in my brain returned to his duty once again. I was ecstatic. Life slowly went from 480 p to 800 p to 1080 to 4k and 8k 📷 . I was able to write this post because of better motivation and concentration. It’s been almost 6 months. Am still practising all the teachings learned. I feel purposeful as a person.

In Western science, the substance inside your semen is made up of citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphorylcholine, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc. Naturally, we would think it makes sense to replenish these nutrients when we lose them. It’s not wrong. The problem here is that the human body is a complex system than just analyzing the end product. We lose a lot more than that. Chemicals released during orgasm in your body all have cause and effect after all. We still don’t know 100 % what happens in the male brain during an orgasm.

There is still a lot that I would like to cover. I would leave you with this warning message from an old tale about the danger of wasting your seed.『二八佳人體似酥,腰間仗劍斬愚夫。雖然不見人頭落,暗裡教君骨髓枯。』 Translated as Young attractive girls seemed appealing to the uneducated guys. They do not have to destroy you by the force, yet behind the scenes, your essence has been slowly drained away. Excessive intercourse and fantasizing about pretty girls while masturbating are ways of wasting your valuable seed which leads to the degradation of a person, the family, the society, and the nation.

A few of you reached out and would love to see a book dedicated to this subject matter.
