Sex is a lot like aging. It always ends in loss. Aging (slowly or quickly) takes away, burns youth, substance, skin, hair, muscles, memory, vitality and eventually life, itself, which is why many religions advise moderation or celibacy. While this may sound extreme, crazy, it won't sound so extreme, crazy when you are fifty, sixty years old. Sex, orgasm will play less of a role as you get older, which is a good thing as a man wants to be known for more than being a successful penis.
Many religions also advice renunciation for the rest of the body mind as the body, mind, intellect, material possessions, friends, etc. perish with time, unlike the spirit (soul of God), which never dies, is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, etc. Why not concentrate on that (spirit, God) which never lets one down, unlike the body, mind, possessions, family, friends, etc. which eventually do let you down, leave you alone, unlike God who never, leaves you. It is you that leaves Him, which is why you suffer.
Excessive sex, daily orgasm burns youth, ages the body mind quickly. Youth, vitality, on a physical is pure substance (yin). The pure substance of youth is sexual esence (jing).
The more jing, sexual essence you lose via pornography, masturbation and sex the faster (graying or loss of hair, thin and or cracked skin, hair, nails and bones, infertility, insomnia, loss of flexibilty, memory, vision, hearing, tc.) the faster you age, which is why some philosophies advise men to start but not finish, retaining jing for future use, children and or celibacy (transform jing into spiritual essence). Give up the small (one minute orgasm) for the greater, extended youth, vitality and longevity.
Nowhere in traditional Chinese or Ayurvedic medicines do you read or are advised to masturbate and or have sex to relieve tension, as the price (rapid aging, loss of jing) is too high. This type of advice in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines would be considered foolish, detrimental and contrary to physician heal thyself and do no harm.
Start but not finishing not only improves health, longevity but also increases length and strength of love making. Celibacy takes it to another level as does aging. With aging, comes celibacy as life also takes away sexual energy, desire forcing you to concentrate on other things besides the body mind. Start renouncing earthly, bodily, sensual and intellectual pleasures (in favor of spiritual thoughts, pursuits) before time and aging start renouncing, deteriorating you. The spirit (soul of God)is more powerful and a better investment (always has a positive return).
All of this may sound strange, scary if you are in your teens, twenties or thirties but not so strange or scary if your are forty, fifty or sixty, which will some day happen. Time passes quickly. You cannot change the past, but your can change the future via the present. You do not have to be a senior citizen to practice celibacy, meditate, read scripture or eat early bird dinners (easier to digest).
On a dietary, nutritional level, protein and fat, especially red meat, chicken, turkey, eggs and hard cheese build and fuel sexual essence, blood, strucuture and function. Low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, soft cheese, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (salads, tropical fruits, juices, shakes and sugar) diets, in the extreme, weaken sexual function (frigidity, infertility, premature ejaculation, impotence). Caffeine is also extremely weakening as it consumes, burns jing quickly.
Overeating also drains sexual function as it cocentrates blood in the abdomen, liver, and away from the sexual organs. The bigger the stomach, the smaller the erection. For more information, please read Hot and Cold Health by R. G. Heft (Acupuncture Physician (FL 1992- 2002) based on Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western medicines and the questioning and counseling of thousands. There is only one body, therefore only one way to eat, exercise, sleep, meditate, etc. There are only two variables: hot (yang, building, fire, male) and cold (yin, cleansing, water, female).
