I wasn't really talking about combat, just the issue of systems that made claims that turned out to be unfounded.

Have you never seen the early UFC's or early Gracie material in general? They basically owned every style of traditional martial arts.

I think the very fact that this topic triggers so many people absolutely supports the idea that guilt is the primary issue.

IMO the real problem isn't masturbation or Jing loss, the problem is guilt.

There is no archeological evidence that the Exodus actually ever happened, so it is important when reading these narratives to ask the question "what point were the authors trying to make". Most scholars agree that most of the Hebrew bible was written during the Babylonian exile and that much of the emphasis was writing to encourage Hebrews to not mix with the local Babylonian culture and customs. They couldn't do this directly since they were being held captive in Babylon so most likely condemning Egyptian practices was how they accomplished this, so thus the "golden calf" story.

Nice to meet you as well. Yes from a TCM point of view its considered important to preserve Jing or more specifically pre-natal Jing by building up post natal Jing and Qi,

What if there isn't a god of this world?

This is correct but the question was what vegetarian food replenishes jing.

That's interesting, but what do you base this hypothesis on?

I was using the term food loosely as in something you ingest lol. Ok fine its not a food but still accomplishes the mission lol. 🤪(there isn't much that is vegetarian and not poisonous that does the job so I had to stretch things a bit)

Jing- Shu di Huang Qi- Ren Shen

Usually an excessive sex drive is due to Kidney yin deficiency with empty heat. The formula Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan is helpful. https://www.activeherb.com/zhibai/?pdcode=AH057P&gclid=CjwKCAjwkY2qBhBDEiwAoQXK5Y-t1B68VIPO89dpUihGCcieCW9H5eB8golGGrqwsMzPwMfKIjKjUBoC84cQAvD_BwE

first of all misogynistic much? also what if that woman is a licensed acupuncturist? what are your credentials beyond "trust me bro" ? anyways I never said that masturbation won't deplete energy. What I did say was that semen is not jing, and what actually depletes jing is desire not fluid loss. It's important to pay attention to detail before spouting off.

correct also I don't think masturbation is the problem, I think your guilt about it is.

I think it's important to realize that semen is not Jing. Jing is lost through desire not through ejaculation.

I wonder what classic Eastern thought would say about Transgenderism?

I just do the mantra and like when I first start doing it I feel pretty good but then like a day or two later everything starts to suck lol.

I have. My personal experience is that Chundi (Zhunti) is more potent. Actually its more potent than any other practice that I do. As to the issue of why do I do it when I know how much it makes my life such (which is a good question) I realize its going to make my life suck, but sometimes you just really need to purge bad karma and accomplish things.

Seems like its been a little while since this topic has been touched upon. I still hate this mantra but recently began to do it again in order to boost my clinic. I had forgotten how utterly sucky it can make life lol.

He Shou Wu is a great herb in TCM for hair health. My patients get good results with it.

I wish more of that happened in this world LOL 😂🤭

I think the short answer would be it's related to guarding the sense Gates.
