Hi ChiDragon, Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I guess you are asking this because of the loss of energy that follow ejaculations, right ? I first read about that on Dr. L Wilson's webpage. He doesn't talk about "jing" or "qi" but rather about vital nutrients that you deplete every time you "emit". I must say I've been ejaculating once per day minimum, and most of the times twice or three times (around 65/70% of the times without a partner, that is : masturbation) for the last 14 years or so. I'm 31 now. So if masturbating is bad, I've been doing it bad for waaay too long. Since I realized the health implications that frequent ejaculation can cause, I've reduced my "emissions" to once or twice per week. It's the minimum I can stand without getting crazy. This has started 1 month ago or so. But again, as on my original post, the problem is the vicious circle : lots of frustration and anxiety generate strong desire for masturbation to relieve some of the pain, thus spinning the circle again. What do you think ? Cheers

Thanks folks for all your answers. I think I'll try Spring Forest and the basic sitting meditation then. Well, and the Wallace Book. Oh no, my kindofADD attacks and I am trapped again in wanting to do too many things

Does anyone have more insights on this issue ? Thanks, Marcus

Hey Brian, Thanks for your prompt reply. I would like a practice to improve energy levels, mental clarity, quiet mind and emotions and hence more joy in life. Or to put it in other words : To be healthier.

Thanks folks for your answers. Bagua : I really hope it fixes me in a deep and solid way, not only to temporarily relieve the symptoms. I also started with the diet therapy although I try not to get obsessed with it (I already am quite obsessive). Turtle : I don't dare touching accupuncutre points on my own. For i.e I've read you can't press LIV3 if you are very low in energy. I will just trust my Dr. One thing I've noticed already is a sutble increase in energy, but I don't have anywhere to canalyze it. It's like having ADD/ADHD. Here's to all the Tao Bums.

Hi there Tao Bums! I just arrived to the board. Excited to share experiences and learn. I am an amateur practitioner of Martial Arts (Shaolin) and recently started to read some TCM stuff. Cheers!
