Well, I guess this is the place and time I tell you all who I am... But, I don't know that, so perhaps I'll tell you a bit about what I've done and what I'm doing, and you can then tell me who I am... Hello I am a male, married, 50+ two awesome kids 4 and 2, A Reiki master instructor, I went to school for a while, I have a BA PSYC/RLST and a second BA SOC, and an MA RLST. did some other stuff too... As an aside, I am cognitively Challenged/impaired and have a lot of difficulty with spelling. I'm a martial arts instructor, and am interested in TCM and its applications within the arts. As an undergrad in Religious Studies (RLST) my focus was primarily on Buddhism, its union with Taoism to become Chan Buddhism, and its union with Shintoism to form Zen Buddhism. as well as a wack of folk religions. But I really am about the Tao. Now, I am not what one might call a religions person, I'm not even what you might call a spiritual person, but I do accept that our limited range of perception, as humans, will never allow us to understand reality what ever that might look like. Babel babel.... anyway yeah, so, stumbled onto the site here while looking for some info on meridians and acupressure points and now here I am, all becouse I could not resist the erdge to chime in with my two cents worth of free information. yeah, guess I could stop now... Good night.

Hi. I've come to TaoBums because there seems to be a wealth of either knowledge or knowledgeable people to absorb here, along with a little bit of a support group when I am knee/neck deep in potentially murky esoteric waters. I hope that is cool with all of you. So if anyone reads this, hit me up!! I really wanna have a good conversation and bone pick with someone preferably more experienced in semen retention than me. I've been on and off practicing for about 2 years now. Sometimes I feel like I have skipped too far ahead WITHOUT the guidance of a teacher. Quite often I feel "thats cool, as of yet I don't need a teacher." Sometimes it can be hard to follow your intuition without any doubts, and so I'm throwing out all possible lassos to see if anything will catch. All I have so far is people less experienced than me asking for my opinions on stuff!!!!! Which I'm happy to give lol but realistically I want some guidance myself. Not sure my opinions are really the best thing for someone to be listening to!! So I think right now, if anyone has an answer, my questions would be: Is it ok if after sustained periods of retention + circulation I can get quite violent nose bleeds? Any techniques for releasing a bit of prostate pressure/fluid that should inevitably build up? What to do when you just feel like watching some porn/seeing some titties? Go with the flow or exercise some discipline.. Is there ever a time when you are 'ready' for such practices? Also, do the processes involved in Chia's various Enlightenments of Kan & Li help in almost releasing/calming and refining the energy? Is there any chance I could learn this by myself from books?? Thank you so much in advance. J
