healingtouch Posted November 12, 2012 Well, I could think of a few ways being intimate with a female could help a guy out in his cultivation: keeping him grounded and active in social life as a source of yin energy and for consort practices in certain forms of tantra as a source of money so he can dedicate himself more to his practices  Now, from my experience, a lot, I should say most guys are oblivious to those tells in women, especially guys that immerse themselves in the more martial aspects of cultivation (Venus vs Mars?). Ask a buddy (or maybe better yet a woman friend or ex that you are on friendly terms with now) that you trust to be honest for a fair assessment of yourself ...

Cat Pillar Posted November 12, 2012 I agree those are helpful things and would provide a boost to practice, but I'm using the terms "necessary" and "required" literally...as in, cultivation will fail without them. Â I do have some women friends I could ask (although no exes...I've never had a girlfriend), so maybe I'll give that a try if I can arrange a private conversation.
