Sean you don't want to practice then ejaculate immediately afterwards for 2 weeks. Have you fucking lost it? That's way worse than ejaculating 8x a day. At the very least give your body 2 hours to re-assimilate the energy before you blow per "opening the gates" by Frantzis. Or just do a low energy practice like sitting meditation prior to. Osho says that ejaculation has certain benefits for men who do not exercise--but this state of affairs is a perversion. Exercise for your prana and circulation. Come on... mankind has tested the ejaculation=exercise theory for ever and it aint so for 99.999999% of the population. If there ever was a theory that has been tested, it's this one. Weren't you ever 14? Perhaps Guy has figured out a way to minimize his energy loss--the key is that he wants to and does make love for hours immediately after an ejaculation. If you can do that, then you are set. If you can't then don't. But I'd imagine that even a kundalini master can't do this 2x a day. If you have an ejaculation and you feel energized and even more voracious, then you have a net gain situation and you'll reasonably decide to simply spend your whole life ejaculating. If not, then don't. This isn't rocket science!!! Try it once, and you have the answer. -Yoda

So I explained my predicament with the nice folks at customer service, and they'll ship out another 'less aggressive' model. I'll give it one more shot. I really want some non-ejaculatory orgasms. It would really take the edge off the retention practice. I'm not exactly feeling like Laotzu at the moment... -Yoda

Great post... To that may I add that there is no need for any spiritual progress whatsoever. Everyone is spot on perfect. Very waywooway of you, Yoda. Why thank you, Yoda.

If Sean and Monkey like it, then I'll have to pick up a copy.

It looks amazing, but over my ability level. I'm digging the warrior wellness as I can do the exercises. They make me feel flexible. When I do yoga, I feel inflexible. Looks enticing, though. I look forward to the reviews. Sean, you have been a yoga nut in the past--I'd like to read some article type posts from you to explain what Scott brings to the table. Thanks, Yoda

Seriously, the thingy has potential... Actually, most of the thingies have 100% money back (if you order from the mothership) except for the experimental ones like what I bought, but even that is pretty generous. It sounds like they are giving more refunds on the experimental ones. So I'll get the standard model and see if I fare better. -Yoda

cool. -Yoda

I got the Helix model. Maybe there's a kinder, gentler one out there. I'll sell it "like new." -Yoda

I think there's some carryover between the keysound and heartsound which shouldn't be too shocking as they are the same sound after all. Just the keysound starts low as possible and slides up to as high as comfortably possible. So that's very cool. The reason I can say that is that I tried the keysound silently and Mrs Yoda had a definite response to it and I've only been doing the 6 healing sounds these days. So that's good. I'll try doing the keysound in the place of the heart sound during my healing sound practice and work with the keysound in a sexual context more regularly in the future. -Yoda

the healing sound/keysound crossover training is working out nicely, btw. -Yoda

WWJD? -Yoda

the key phrase is that after ejaculation "he spends the rest of the evening making love." So either he was born with great reserves and/or he doesn't lose much energy the way he does an ejaculation. His orgasm is probably more like a woman's. Only he is able to judge his own energy levels. As for me, when I go I'm TKO-d, so I really can't mess with ejaculation and am teaching myself how to have non-draining heartgasms. -Yoda

I'm mostly 9 in person--but 9s have multiple personalities and you're right... I'm more of a 7 leaning 8 on this forum. -Yoda

Just been pondering the "Five Tibetans" yoga system--one of the strongest yoga systems that I've done in the past. I love it, but I've systematically neglected doing them for over 10 years and it doesn't look like there's much of a chance I'll be bringing em back, either. I'm wondering if other taobums have favorite yet chronically neglected practices? For me, quiet sitting and the keysound are two other stellar practices lost in the shuffle somewhere. I've come to peace with the fact that I won't be seeing these puppies any time soon, and I keep my eye open to how I might be able to incorporate aspects of them into a practice that I'll find fun enough to actually incorporate. I'm hoping that the Warrior Wellness system plus maybe spinning might fill the 5 Tibetan niche, and my standing meditation practice will address some of the sitting benefits, etc. -Yoda

I hope there's a way... one of us will find it, no doubt. -Yoda

Cool test. I came out an ENFP, but I sometimes come out as INFP. And I always come out as a 9 on the enneagram. They gave me a sp/sx/so score, whatever that means. And I'm a Geminii born in the year of the Monkey--so my personality is highly variable mostly depending on my social setting and how much in the groove I am in the moment. -Yoda

Kids and animals are sane, adults are nuts--they have lost sensitivity to their feelings. Chikung is a way to learn to get in touch with the natural energy flow that we are all born with. -Yoda, the wisest mofo on Degoba.

Cool site. Good book on indian clubs, too. -Y

He's such a good chap, that I actually believe his bullet story. -Yoda

Vader used that technique, too. I'll have to check it out. -Yoda

If I can find it, I'll send it your way. -Y

So I'm looking for a good time on the nights that Mrs. Yoda isn't in the game and I decided to order something that arrived in a discrete package that Mrs Yoda didn't happen to open. I'm not sure what to think yet. Plato on a recent post on taobum, said that long term use of the aneros makes you the best lover-- period. That from such an experienced spermonaut, and from other very positive reviews, I decided to check it out. So I've tried it twice and I found it to be modestly stimulating, but not to a sexual degree. It's something that would probably be a nice addition to actually having conventional or oral sex. I think there's a learning curve here, and there's a distinctive energy channel that it would develop with long term practice, and I can see it becoming more sexual of a feeling with practice. I think it's a lot like keysound practice in that they both really develop more of an upwards energy flow with regular use. The whole lube up/clean up ritual of the aneros makes the keysound seem like a lot less work. -Yoda

The mighty atom was quite the dude. He swears that he has been shot point blank between the eyes by a large caliber handgun and blocked the bullet with his chi. I forget the caliber, but it's quite a tale. Defective bullet perhaps? More surprisingly, he said he never cheated on his wife despite being surrounded by horny showgirls his whole life. I can't decided whether that's tragic or honorable or simply part of his energy cultivation theory. -Yoda

oh, here's the link: http://www.sandowplus.co.uk/Competition/compindex.htm The Indian Club book is a must read for anyone in the club club. They are all very cool, lots of vitality cultivation tips in them. -Yoda

You're a recharge pro! -Y
