I must consider the consequences of onanism from two points of view:
a) Consequences for the patient.
b) Consequences for the family and all mankind.
All of the above leads us to the conclusion that masturbation must to some extent affect individual parts of the human body and the entire body as a whole. The main question - what bad consequences does masturbation entail, is solved by various researchers contradictorily.
Tissot was the first to highlight this issue from a scientific point of view (1770), then Lalemand dealt with this issue in 1836 and wrote a special study “On various anomalies”. , comprehended the above work. It aroused great interest in itself in the circles of scientists around the world and for a long time served as a guiding thread for resolving a number of seemingly insoluble questions. Lalemand concludes that masturbation gives amazing consequences: diseases of the spinal cord, spinal tabes, various kinds of brain diseases, progressive paralysis, insanity, etc. With the light hand of Lalemand, the so-called "literature of sex" began to multiply by leaps and bounds, and until now the sexual question "truth" is interpreted differently. Almost all researchers agree on one, that the abuse of onanism weakens the entire nervous system, but not in such a sharp form as Lalemand and Tissot draws.
The nervous system generally has the ability to increase and decrease memory, depending on mental labor, to multiply and weaken energy, to raise and lower the state of mind (mood). These phenomena, of course, can be caused by masturbation. Heredity plays an important role in the neurasthenic area, and, of course, heredity is also not excluded in masturbation. That is why we conclude that masturbation in exceptional cases can pass without a trace, but, as a general phenomenon, masturbation gives serious consequences of a very serious nature.
Many people have a bewildered question: why can masturbation cause any consequences of an unpleasant nature, since in its process it is so merged with sexual intercourse, that is. with aggregation. We will answer this by referring to the conclusions of the researchers Fürbinger and Kurshman, as eminent neuropathologists. Both of them point out that masturbation is harmful, firstly, because it starts too early and involves in long protracted processes, and secondly, it is very accessible. While a man must look for women to satisfy his sexual needs, the vice of onanism is available to him at any moment, and he indulges in it without the participation of the opposite sex excessively.
The influence that masturbation exerts on the nervous system is extremely dangerous, since the entire nervous system of a person is constantly inflamed from the possibility of frequent manipulations.
Erb further aggravates this concept by the fact that the subject who resorts to onanism also experiences a moral decline, because after satisfaction he feels that he has done something vicious. A struggle arises in the soul between duty, his moral state and physical need, that we call "remorse" affects the nervous system and, in betrothal to the physical act, causes an extremely depressed state of mind, and this latter again leads to excitement and repetition of masturbation.
As far as I know, a very small percentage of onanics suffer from moral experiences. For the majority, however, an unpleasant sensation arises, which passes quickly, a sensation in which the volitional instincts give way to the instincts of voluptuousness, and the person falls into the abyss. The naturalness of the approach to the possibility of satisfying oneself at any moment, of course, differs significantly from the act of copulation, in which the temperature of the bodies that accompanies pleasure guarantees a certain physical pleasure that causes the highest tension up to the resolution of the act.
The contradictions that have arisen in connection with the question of what harmful consequences come from onanism, after the foregoing, are quite obvious. Various doctors characterized the consequences of onanism, depending on certain results of it. Lomius considers lethargy, epilepsy, apoplexy, convulsions, blurred vision, and even blindness to be the result of onanism. And not only did he find "believers" among the public, but many doctors consider Lomius's view to be correct. However, a little time passed, and the doctors not only doubted Lomius's diagnoses, but little by little began to consider masturbation an almost harmless vice. And only after A thorough study of the question of the influence of sexual activity on the whole organism and on each organ separately, several medical congresses came to the unshakable conclusion that masturbation is harmful and its consequences are very, very serious.
Fournier argues that nature itself resolves this difficult question, how harmful masturbation is, and that nature does not need exaggerations on the part of doctors. The specificity of the influence of onanism depends, of course, on many reasons: on the frequency of abuse, on sex, temperament, nervous system and the power of perception.
Such eminent scientists as Kurshman and Furbinger establish that the consumption of semen is not of great importance for the body and does not weaken it, and that when considering the harm of onanism, ejaculation should not be taken into account as a very serious minus. This, however, is not the case. Masturbation, performed at any time and extracting the semen in unlimited quantities, gradually reduces the number of livestock (spermatozoa), there is a gradual depletion of the germ cells (sperm), and the seed itself becomes thinner. This fact alone proves that ejaculation is not completely indifferent to the human body. Some authorities join my opinion, agreeing with me that the loss of semen in a man causes weakness and breakdown after copulation, while a woman who shows significant activity during copulation gets tired for a short time, i.e. not for long. It can be concluded with certainty that during onanism the entire human body is subjected to significant changes. Masturbation affects the mental, mental and physical abilities of a person.
Lively rumors caused this question in special discussions among doctors. It will be interesting for readers to get acquainted with my point of view on this issue, which is the result of practice.
Both Kurshman and Furbinger believe that masturbation and similar sexual intercourse give exactly the same effects in both cases and that the loss of semen, as we have said above, in their opinion, is not harmful to the body.
However, such a high tension of the nervous system, both central and peripheral (partial), could be harmless if both acts - onanism and copulation were performed moderately. Excess is equally harmful in the first and in the second question. This is what Kurshman and Furbinger think, and therefore moderate onanism, as we can conclude from their conclusions, is not harmful.
Prof. Erb joins this opinion, and argues that natural and masturbatory sexual satisfaction gives the same results, and vice versa, according to Erb, nervous excitement from a relationship with a woman is much sharper than masturbation. I believe that there is a huge difference between masturbation and copulation: with masturbation, an excited fantasy is necessary, brain work is very intense, and therefore the entire nervous system is more suffering than during copulation.
The opinion of these authorities concerns only the moderation of onanism and the moderation of copulation. But I pose the question, what is excess in relation to sexual functions. This question is also asked by Prof. Koch, who asks: “Where is the beginning of excess?” I have already pointed out above that there is almost no way to establish the moderation and excess of sexual excesses, since this depends on the individual characteristics of each subject. Here physique, lifestyle, temperament, sex, climate and a number of other phenomena play a role; what we will consider excessive for some is the most natural need of the organism of another person. One can only say that both sexual intercourse and masturbation depend on the individual abilities of each individual subject. During intercourse, fantasy occurs only depending on the action of the opposite sex. Here, a fantasy of a very real order, carnal, existing. Movements of the female body, hugs , mutual touch of bodies, visual impressions from observing certain parts of the body, kisses - all these are phenomena that cause external irritations. Thus, fantasy does not work very intensively during natural copulation, since all representations are caused by real facts. Added to this are the sensations of friction and movements of a tense member along the genital slit of a woman; these purely mechanical conditions lead to such a degree of orgasmus that ejaculation occurs without the participation of fantasy.
With masturbation, there is not enough object of the opposite sex and its absence is replaced by fantastic ideas. The object rubs its genitals with its hands, and due to the fact that sensitivity gradually decreases with the frequency of masturbation, fantasy comes to the rescue. The brain and the entire nervous system reach such an apogee of boiling that all the energy of a person is directed only to one thing, as if it were more natural and more realistic to imagine annoying images. What a terrible effect this must have on a child's brain, which is only in its developmental period. So, the question of whether onanism is harmful, if in its frequency it does not exceed the number of copulations, must be resolved in a positive direction, i.e. that onanism is more harmful than copulation.
The intensity of the fantasy associated with the increased work of the entire central nervous system is more significant during onanism than during normal sexual intercourse.
And therefore, onanism has an unquestionably more harmful effect on the entire organism and has a degrading effect on it.
As for moderation, even within its limits, masturbation negatively affects the mental sphere and is much more harmful than copulation, even if it comes to ejaculation.
The frequency of onanism is one of the moments of its harm, surpassing copulation.
A person who has a sexual desire, along with this, all the urges for onanism appear. Prof. Koch gives statistics in which he observed the frequency of masturbation from 15-18-year-old students from 4-6 times a day. Prof. Kurshman notes that the very first appearance of sexual lust entails immediate satisfaction, since nothing interferes, and later on helps even the subject to find satisfaction.
Masturbation has a more harmful effect on the body than natural intercourse, also because it sets in much earlier, when the body and spirit of a person are still in the period of development. These moments are especially dangerous and heavy in their consequences for a person's life. Masturbation is more harmful than normal copulation in that it affects the character of a person. Furbinger establishes that the character of the onanist changes due to ignoring the opposite sex, i.e. physiological reduction, the significance of the opposite sex. And in the future, a habit sets in, which destroys all attempts to fight it, in other words, the habit becomes stronger and stronger, and the will falls, while the character of the onanist sharply decreases from these phenomena.
Masturbation is more harmful than normal intercourse also because it causes a feeling of remorse, a short-term feeling of dissatisfaction.
Erb points out that the constant struggle between excessive attraction and moral duty has a detrimental effect on the nervous system and turns most masturbators into neurasthenics.
Greisinger proves that the struggle and discord between shame, repentance and overwhelmed desires causes extreme suffering for onanists. Depressed mood, depression from the consciousness of a defeated struggle leads to more acute self-exercises in onanism. Each time, after an act of onanism, a certain reaction of a moral order sets in, but it quickly disappears. The nervous system is shaken more and more. That is why there are those serious consequences that masturbation entails.
While the act of intercourse only causes fatigue, masturbation entails a breakdown. People, after the act of copulation, most often fall into a deep pleasant sleep, meanwhile, after onanism they feel depressed, overwhelmed and stay awake for a long time. Based on many medical studies and observations, it can be said with confidence that people, who are quite normal, not only do not find anything pleasant in fatigue after masturbation, but, on the contrary, feel a sharp depression in themselves. Natural ejaculation gives its physiological effects, ejaculation caused by onanism, from the point of view of medicine, indicates the loss of semen, which we also lose during wet dreams.
Women after sexual intercourse and after onanism are never so exhausted as men. All of the above convinces us that masturbation, in comparison with natural intercourse, is undoubtedly more harmful to the body, despite the fact that the same effects (semen flow) follow in both processes. We further conclude that even moderate masturbation is more harmful than moderate intercourse. The spiritual strength of onanists suffers especially. As for the question of excessive sexual intercourse, there is no doubt that it is just as harmful as onanism, because it causes increased nervous activity, enormous sexual tension, and all this exposes the nervous system to spinal irritations.
Predisposition plays a very important role in all these cases. We often see how healthy people with a strong nervous system, under the influence of onanism, become weak-willed, depressed and destroyed. And vice versa, we sometimes see that thin and weak people, regardless of masturbation, retain their strength and appearance.
Masturbation affects the various organs of our body differently. In children, for example, the central nervous system is affected, which leads to convulsions, convulsions, hysteria, and even epilepsy. Others begin to suffer from damage to the abdominal regions, resulting in palpitations, shortness of breath and seizures. Some have diarrhoea, catarrh of the stomach, intestines, and generally acute gastrointestinal diseases. In other patients, vision becomes dull, photophobia (photophobia), eyelid cramps appear. In a word, onanism gives such a vivid picture of various diseases that we must further dwell on each form separately, without combining them into one group.
The consequences of onanism are divided into:
1. Damage to the central nervous system;
2. Damage to the organs of external senses;
3. The defeat of the psyche and mind;
4. Defeat of digestion;
5. Influence on blood circulation and respiration;
6. Influence on the muscular organization;
7. Influence of onanism on the genitals.
8. Masturbation and its effect on the body as a whole.
The nervous system connects all the organs of our body into one inseparable whole. Our mental faculties every minute come into contact with the nervous system, on which all our movements and sensations depend.
The nervous system is a very organized region in its structure, and every impression received from the outside is recorded through the nervous system in the brain.
After this, there is nothing surprising in the fact that our nervous system is affected under the influence of vice. That internal connection that exists between the genital organs and the nervous system, and, mainly, the spinal cord, should be affected before all organs. Modern medicine has called this case sexual neurasthenia.
The ancient Jewish code of laws, the Talmud, speaks of the influence of onanism on the nervous system. This wise book indicates that those who indulge in masturbation dry their brains, and that in such people one can overhear how “the brain in the skull is shaking.” The picture that we observe in masturbation is extremely changeable and diverse.
Sexual neurasthenia refers to that form of nervous weakness, which is found in the violation of sexual intercourse, caused by a lesion of the sexual property. In this case, of course, other diseases are also possible.
The diseases that occur during onanism are so diverse that a list of them and a clear summary is beyond the scope of this work, but, considering the need to teach every doctor at least some information about these diseases, I will dwell on them in a few words.
Three types of neurasthenia attract the attention of the famous psychiatrist Krafft-Ebing.
1. Local neurosis, which is expressed in frequent pollutions and early ejaculation.
2. Lumbar neurosis, accompanied by neuralgia of the lumbosacral nerve plexus and frequent day and night pollutions, with a sharp decrease in will.
3. Increase in neurasthenic symptoms. This phenomenon affects the cerebrospinal system to such an extent that it causes sexual anomalies, such as temporary aspermatism (lack of semen), in which sperm does not appear outward, ovulation and other types. This scheme of Kraft-Ebing is not completely legitimized, indisputable and unshakable, but in general terms it gives the correct interpretation of the disease. Sexual excesses can lead to spinal neurasthenia without violating the correct functions of the genital organs. On the contrary, I have the courage to assert that the genital organs are not disturbed by anything. If we remember how, due to excessive sexual intercourse or onanism, our sexual excesses have been modified, then we will be convinced that patients who abuse sexual intercourse adjoin the third stage of the scheme established by Kraft-Ebing. From various kinds of sexual excesses, various neurasthenic consequences are obtained. Onanism causes cerebral neurasthenia, excessive intercourse causes spinal neurasthenia, interrupted copulation causes mental impotence.
There are, of course, deviations from the provisions I have cited. The cerebral phenomena of sexual neurasthenia entail headaches and put pressure on the brain. Pressure and pain are felt in the forehead or in the back of the skull. Right mental activity is naturally disturbed by all this, patients refuse their work; they are unable to read, write, or work, but their general mood is gloomy, but associated with insomnia, melancholy, a sense of fear, dullness of mental faculties, lack of energy and increased irritability. With all their desire, patients are deprived of the opportunity to pull themselves together and show self-control. Very often they lose their memory, and these patients show disturbances of various senses.
I have seen patients who are strongly irritated by the light, in such cases they seek solitude, avoid acquaintances and fall into the power of hypochondria and melancholy.
The book market is flooded with a series of absurd popular literature, crude and ignorant in its content, in which the consequences of various diseases are unbelievably depicted, such as "disease of the spinal cord", "softening of the brain", "insanity", etc.
Spinal phenomena are associated with the brain and with other centers. Here, weakness, fatigue, the appearance of pain in the lumbar region and in the limbs come into the arena. Patients complain of crawling on the back, cold, heaviness in various members, pain and neuralgia. These purely individual sensations must be taken into account by the physician in the diagnosis and determined by examination. Trembling of the extremities, vibratory twitches, especially in the fingers, an increased knee jerk with a slight blow - all this indicates a serious disease, for the treatment of which the doctor must arm himself with knowledge and patience.
Excessive masturbation most often causes cerebral neurasthenia. Well-known prof. Levenfeld proves that masturbators engaged in prolonged mental labor most often suffer from cerebral neurasthenia and cerebral weakness, and, conversely, masturbators who indulge in physical labor are more likely to suffer from spinal cord disease.
Geslin explains neurasthenia in two ways: by fatigue of the centers of sexual activity, which occurs as a result of overstimulation, and by mental influences, in which the patient constantly thinks about the consequences that may arise. This causes him suffering and fear, this develops in him a hatred of life, creates melancholy and depressed mood.
The whole life, thoughts and fantasy of these patients are occupied with ideas revolving only around sexual tendencies. Gessling notes that in many married people of this category, the fear of his wife, that he can fall into sexual relaxation and create an atmosphere of legalized adultery, is so great that the patient is looking for the most artificial ways to abolish this and, not finding it, falls into a depressed mood, which is serious. affects his nervous system.
Masturbation brings absolutely incalculable troubles to young men who have a predisposition to this act on the part of their parents. Such youths are subjected to cerebral neurasthenia, with all the consequences that follow from this, up to neurasthenic seizures. Furbinger says that he knew a young man, of excellent heredity and flourishing health, who lost everything under the influence of onanism and reached complete exhaustion.
Many argued about how masturbation affects different sexes and in whom it causes more severe neurasthenia: in men or in women. Personally, I don't think there is much of a difference. Gessling says that men suffer comparatively less from emaciation than women, since they are more prone to natural sexual intercourse.
As for the opinion that the disappearance of an erection or eruption of the seed ends with masturbation, this is not entirely true. Masturbation, in contrast to normal copulation, does not need an erection, but only requires lust, desire.
Thus, from the foregoing, we conclude that onanism has an extremely sharp effect on the nervous system, the result of which is severe disturbances of the entire nervous system. Of course, there are cases of suicide, but I do not consider this a sufficiently striking factor, and those who claim that this is so, in my opinion, exaggerate somewhat.
The above opinion, that masturbation first of all affects vision, has not received sufficient interpretation in the previous part of this work. I consider it necessary to dwell on this point. It should, however, be borne in mind that not only the eye, but the sense of smell, the ear, and even speech undergo abnormal changes as a result of onanism. Tissot, and especially Koch, already in 82 pointed out the influence of onanism on vision.
Koch draws his conclusions from a number of observations of young men and women in whom eye diseases developed consistently and strongly and disappeared with the cessation of masturbation. The well-known ophthalmologists Morin, Galezovsky and Fitzgerald support their observations with a stunning list of victims of onanism. Prof. Koch makes a reference to his practice, which resulted in a number of patients suffering from subjective eye diseases, expressed in photophobia.
Outwardly, the eyes of onaks do not bear traces of lesions in all respects: normal pupils, a certain visual acuity, tension and sensation of light, the optic nerve and retina are in order, but nevertheless, the eyes of onaks are so afraid of light that gradually all eye functions are weakened, the apple gets the appearance of some kind of matte cast and the patients begin to feel dizzy. Usually in patients this manifests itself in both eyes at the same time, and these phenomena are accompanied by characteristic symptoms, such as phosphorization of the pupil, the appearance of some kind of snow flakes, circles, dots, insects before the eyes; patients go through such a state all the time, as if from the darkness they fall into a bright light, reading becomes completely impossible. Morin relates that an American woman, who had masturbated for many years, brought her eyesight into such a low state that she could not endure the glare of extraneous eyes.
In patients this reaction lasts between a month and several years, but I know of a patient who suffered eye damage from onanism for 20 years. Patients complained of pain in the sacral region, but there was no definite data at my disposal for the fact that they had tassel dorsalis, on the contrary, at the same time I noticed all the signs of neurasthenia in them, such as insomnia and strongly pronounced nocturnal emissions.
The age of patients suffering from visual impairment falls, for the most part, on people from 15-30 years old, while most patients have been engaged in masturbation for years, several times a day. I knew one patient who had been masturbating for 23 years, and the other two men I had used extensively for decades and, as I later learned, both of them married and continued to masturbate.
The cause of visual impairment must be sought in the brain, since the optic nerves, according to oculists, are not affected.
Old maids and women in general are very susceptible to rapid eye disease from masturbation, and for the most part it appears in the form of dry catarrh of the connective membrane of the eyes. For my colleagues, I report the appearance of the following symptoms: redness of the connective membrane, without discharge of pus or any other secret, pressure in the pupil and burning sensation. I knew one 24-year-old patient who had been masturbating since the age of 15 every day, 4 times a day. He confessed to me that he always feels a little intoxicated, as if from morphine, and despite all the desire to stop masturbation, he cannot do this, because without it he feels oppressed and lonely. Soon this patient developed all the signs in the eyes that I have described above.
Foerster, Landesberg, and I observed a patient who developed catarrh of the connective sheath, so easily cured at a young age if it comes from other causes than masturbation, and so difficult to treat with masturbation.
Cramps of the eyelids, redness of the optic nerve, as a result of onanism, prof. Morin observed in very many patients, especially in women. Foerster cites cases of the appearance of basic disease in women, under the influence of an early-developed defect, as well as a complete greening of the cataract, and Gutchinson observed internal bleeding of the eye that arose on the basis of onanism.
Thus, it is possible to establish with certainty the duration and frequency of masturbation in patients as soon as they develop light diseases. While ophthalmologists struggle with these phenomena for a long time, among ononics these phenomena cease immediately as soon as the patients stop masturbating.
Daniel Benwer (famous Hamburg ophthalmologist) reports a case of hypersensitivity of the retina as a result of masturbation. This specialist had a 29-year-old patient who reacted to light so much that he had to wear dark glasses. This patient was a public teacher, with his vicious lasciviousness he brought himself to the point that he had to give up teaching at school. Benver made an examination of the eyes with a mirror and found that all the optic nerves, sheath, etc., were in perfect order. I recommend in these cases to resort to electrification, sodium bromide and arsenic. These remedies give very positive results in the treatment of eyes in onanics.
As soon as excessive eye sensitivity, photophobia, eyelid cramps, dilation and immobility of the pupil appear, the doctor is advised to suspect masturbation. Prof. Furbinger considers it a completely diagnostic (defining) sign of onanism - an increased knee jerk and trembling of the eyelids.
Friedrich Hoffmann observed in a patient who often resorted to masturbation, in the 23rd year of his life, severe dizziness and dilated pupils. The same physician reports stunning cases of blindness in patients engaged in masturbation. However, a number of oculists reject this conclusion and look for the causes of blindness in another, since studies with a mirror did not give positive results.
Hearing loss as a result of onanism. Here the phenomena are not as sharp as in eye diseases, but nevertheless we find materials from a number of specialists in ear diseases that convince us that masturbation undoubtedly affects hearing.
Bonafond observed in patients sharp phenomena in the ears, such as soreness, ringing, colic, while anatomically the ear did not change at all. The same is stated by Weber Lill, who observed not only during onanism, but even during too violent copulations, especially in women, phenomena unfavorable for the ear.
If in general the patient is subject to inflammation of the middle ear, then in onaniki this disease proceeds extremely unfavorably. Symptoms associated with ear disease are detected in the soreness of the spinal column, in the region of the thoracic and nervous lumbar vertebrae. Doctors tried to resort to local treatment, but this did not give any effect, since the main causal cause of the disease, i.e., was not eliminated. masturbation.
Weber Lile argues that some women who suffer from hearing loss refuse marriage, fearing that their disease will worsen (probably depending on copulation). The most characteristic should be considered that with all ear diseases, patients do not have anatomical hearing damage, meanwhile, there is tinnitus, pain and increased auditory sensitivity.
Above, we indicated how adversely masturbation affects the central nervous system and from this, not only physically, but also spiritually, a person’s life decreases. Psychiatrists have recently received a wealth of material to observe how the mental state of people changes depending on sexual needs. Scientifically, this was clarified by Kraft-Ebing, Mol and other scientists who gave brilliant analyzes of sexual psychopathy.
Prolonged masturbation deals a heavy blow to a person's mental faculties. Cerebral neurasthenia, which is a consequence of sexual excesses, affects mainly the spiritual emotions of a person. If we follow what happens in the soul of a person during the act of onanism and after that, we will notice that the very process, which causes more and more excitement, increases the erection, spiritual and mental exaltation to the utmost pathos. At the moment of a gradual increase in sexual voluptuous experiences, the state of mind of the onanist dictates to him ecstasy, elevated words, poetic analogies, delusional phrases, and as soon as the moment of satisfaction comes, as soon as the erection falls, the pathos of a person falls along with it, his exaltation and ecstasy. At the moment of voluptuousness, blood circulation accelerates, the whole body is intensely warmed, blood rushes to the head so that the person experiencing this state seems to lose his mind, his eyes close, and sometimes it comes to convulsions, to convulsions, as a result of erotic ecstasy.
The shock of the entire nervous system entails a complete exhaustion of the brain. This indicates that such a process cannot but cause an extreme shock to the will and feelings of a person. It is not difficult to imagine what happens to a subject who indulges in this kind of manipulation for years several times a day.
To Dr. Tissot, one patient reports the following: “I have lost my power of imagination, my cheerfulness is waning every day, and all my feelings are fading away. I look at my surroundings like a dream, like visions. I extract incredible efforts from my devastated soul in order to find in myself the potential for these lines.
Above, when describing cerebral neurasthenia, I already had a chance to talk about the devastation that occurs in the brain of a person, and how this affects his memory: heaviness in the head, severe dizziness, weakening of the nervous system, loss of memory - all this accompanies the patient, which has signs of cerebral neurasthenia, and it comes to the fact that patients are forced to refuse to perform their duties. This circumstance alone, i.e. the consciousness of a person that he has turned himself off from life and duties entails dangerous mental consequences.
Such patients are helpless at the slightest difficulty, cowardly, indecisive, distracted, shy, timid, they avoid society and seek solitude. They are always in the grip of anxiety, fear and nightmares. In many patients, insomnia is added to all these phenomena, and then they are infinitely miserable. They indulge in their state of mind, lonely, gloomy and depressed.
Patients, going to bed, are tormented by thoughts all night, their conscience is wounded, self-flagellation arises - a process that torments them even more. Patients do not know sleep, become hypochondriacs, and in the course of time they develop abnormal morbid tendencies, entailing a series of phenomena indicating that cerebral neurasthenia passes into psychosis.
From this we draw the unmistakable conclusion that since young people develop melancholy, hypochondria, then the presence of onanism should be suspected here. However, the assertions that this vice entails progressive paralysis and insanity are completely untrue. Never before has madness been the result of onanism, let alone progressive paralysis. Kurshman quite correctly believes that masturbation can serve as a predisposing reason for mental illness.
There are a number of authorities, like Ellinger, Hagenbach and others, who consider masturbation to be the direct cause of mental illness. Eringer, for example, claims that masturbation in sixty-three cases gave serious symptoms of mental disorders; Fleming, Frederick and Morel are of the same opinion. Prof. Esquirol suggests that most of the mental illness observed in the aristocratic strata of society is the result of onanism. He writes the following: “Onanism is a deadly evil of people, it is the cause of madness, especially among the propertied class. Hagenbach found 69 cases of insanity (out of 800) where masturbation could be the cause; however, several of them undoubtedly entailed mental illness.
In fact, those who see masturbation as the only cause of this or that mental illness are quite often mistaken. Masturbation is rather a symptom of a detected psychosis and an accidental stimulus to the acceleration of the course of the disease, the predisposition of which is determined by heredity, neuropathic constitution, nervous diseases, etc. phenomena. Where onanism seems to be the causative agent of mental anomalies, in reality it only contributes to the detection of mental illness, exciting and weakening the central nervous system. The soil favorable for mental disorders is created directly by masturbation and is expressed in spinal and sexual neurosis, in relaxation, shaking, irritation of the spinal cord, attacks of neuralgia, as well as in mild disorders of the body such as hypochondria, excessive excitability, depression, disbelief in oneself, and etc. The general depression, low tone, torments of conscience, which have a detrimental effect on the central nervous system and on the whole soul of a person, are especially serious.
Speaking of various kinds of mental illnesses that are caused by masturbation, but which in essence only masturbation accompanies, all scientists believe that masturbation is not the real cause of insanity. The phenomena they indicate, such as hallucinations of hearing, continuous deception of external senses, weakness of the will, hopelessness, are not characteristic symptoms of this disease; all these signs are observed in other types of mental illness.
The famous English psychiatrist, Dr. Skye, held the view that there is a special kind of "masturbatory madness", accompanied by a wandering look, general weakness, oppression, awkwardness, suicidal tendencies, etc.
Another doctor, the Englishman Spitske, gives a completely different picture of the phenomena of a mental order during onanism; he claims that patients develop general drowsiness, the gloom of thoughts is suddenly replaced by elation, general enlightenment; discouragement is in direct proportion to the frequency of masturbation. The disease manifests itself at the age of 13-20 years; before the age of 13, mental illness is extremely rare, and in this case we are dealing with ordinary stupidity, epilepsy and extreme excitement.
Kraft-Ebing is of the opinion that onanistic psychosis does not exist, but he argues that onanism can contribute to the manifestation of hypochondria, melancholy, hysteria and epilepsy, in other words, onanism can cause those hidden ailments that are firmly embedded in the mental body of every person.
There is even an opinion that masturbation entails idiocy, but this is not true. There was no case when onanism would be the only cause of idiocy; psychiatric science establishes the opposite phenomenon, that idiocy causes a tendency to onanism. The question of epilepsy, that functional neurosis, which is expressed in the form of seizures, remains open. As a doctor, I must confirm that the causes of epilepsy have not yet been established. Attempts that are made by doctors in explaining the origin of epilepsy are untenable, they are only moments predisposing to this disease.
Predisposition must be understood here as heredity, i.e., that any of the relatives of the sick person has ever suffered from epilepsy. This, however, is absolutely not required for the occurrence of a serious illness. If the patient is subject to predisposition, then the neuropsychic shock of the central and peripheral nervous systems contributes to the appearance of a complete picture of epilepsy.
In the old days, doctors defined copulation as temporary epilepsy, and with good reason. Tissot, Hoffmann and Galer note cases of epileptic seizures after each act of onanism. Zimmerman describes cases of epileptic seizures in a 23-year-old boy after onanistic exercises and nocturnal emissions. When the patient succeeded in mastering his impulses, the epileptic fits ceased, but resumed with even greater force, as soon as he fell into his vice again. Prof. Morel describes the same case, in which he indicates that the epileptic seizures completely disappeared from the patient and that he managed to cure the patient of onanistic inclinations. Such a favorable outcome completely restored the mental faculties of the patient, who returned to his normal activities immediately.
Often we observe epileptic seizures after the act of copulation among animals, mainly dogs. Everything that we have given here in connection with epilepsy and onanism is almost completely applicable to the definition of the connection between hysteria and onanism. Hysteria is also a predisposing symptom, but by no means can this phenomenon be taken into account as the immediate cause of the disease. Hysteria, on the other hand, is exclusively associated only with mental processes and has the same unclear etiology as epilepsy. We know cases when hysteria appears in people who are mentally highly excited, regardless of whether this excitement is single or repeated for a long time. Onanistic excitations are strong mental and physical irritations that can bring the central nervous system out of its usual normal state of equilibrium. This, of course, is aggravated if the subject has a predisposition to illness. A perverted upbringing, which entails excessive mental stress, certainly sets the stage for hysteria.
Sexual processes for the development of hysteria do not pass without a trace; this statement is confirmed by countless observations in medical practice. In women, hysteria is closely associated with sexual affects that occur after nymphomania and other sexual excesses, and after onanism, hysterical seizures are observed in women. Tissot and Foder give many authoritative facts in support of this opinion; thus, it is safe to assume that masturbation is a factor that reveals hysteria, but does not generate it.
Furbinger proves quite rightly that insanity is not a direct consequence of onanism or excessive sexual excesses. He categorically does not allow that sexual neurasthenia could result in a severe form of psychopathy. In contrast to this opinion, such solid authorities as Griesinger and Ellinger prove that masturbation is a serious cause of insanity.
Our conclusion boils down to the unanimous diagnosis of eminent scientists and observers that masturbation causes great harm to mental abilities, reason, weakening memory in the first case, and hindering the development of thinking in the second. Masturbation can also cause mild psychosis (malancholia, hysteria, mysticism), but always in the presence of heredity. Onanism never leads to severe psychoses and cannot cause either insanity, or suicide, or progressive paralysis.
In the statistics of psychiatric hospitals, we find the following figures for onanics: in Sweden, the mentally ill turned out to be 3.7%, in England - 1.1%.
Short-term onanism, which inevitably arises as a transitional form to sexual intercourse in almost all people, does not affect mental abilities in any way. The longer and longer masturbation lasts, the more dangerous it is for a person and his intellectual activity.
Just as psychosexual perversions can cause masturbation, masturbation is a predisposing cause of the mentioned sexual psychoses. It is physiologically difficult to establish boundaries between normal and excessive. We pointed out even higher that this depends on the subjective, individual characteristics of a person. By nymphomania and satyriasis, we define the acute sexual state of a man or woman, in which the most indifferent ideas entail voluptuous sensations, and this sexual lust is so strong that the patient tries at all costs to be satisfied.In their sexual excitement, patients reach hallucinations, insanity, and can often be dangerous to public morals.Nymphomaniacs and satyriasis are not difficult to recognize, since they lose their self-control so much that they do not try to clothe their pernicious passion They are seized with a wave of their dirty desires and lose all concept of shame, there are times when they indulge in their vice even in the presence of strangers.
Deslyand explains all these anomalies by a false upbringing. He knew a child-girl who could not be weaned from onanism either by requests, or exhortations, or threats, or even corporal punishment; she indulged in this vice shamelessly in front of everyone, even at the dinner table, at the sight Afterwards, marriage did not save this woman from vice, and she continued to masturbate until her death.
The root of sexual vices hidden in the body awakens in a person onanistic inclinations, later on - perversions, and over time leads to sexual psychosis. As a curiosity, I will talk about a case of kleptomania as a consequence of onanism. Dr. Zippe in 1878 had the case of a 32-year-old patient, a baker by profession, who had masturbated for 19 years. When he saw a beautiful woman, he became so excited that his self-control left him; the heart began to beat strongly, the penis came into tension and in order to satisfy his passion, he had to touch some object of the toilet of this woman, and he stole her handkerchief or something else, and after that satisfaction came . Mental delusion can lead to mutilation of the genitals, which is certainly a consequence of onanism.
We know many cases, disgusting in their savagery, which evoke feelings of disgust in us.
Chopard describes a case when a 15-year-old youth reached such perfection in vice that indulging in onanism eight times a day, he did not extract the seed. Subsequently, he began to irritate the urethra with various objects, but when this also ceased to work, he began to incise his penis with a knife, and the voluptuous feeling paralyzed the pain so much that at that time he was satisfied.
Very often we meet with the facts of damage to the urethra, the mucous membrane of the bladder, the uterine cervix and even the uterus itself. These mutilations of the genital organs give the patients a pure voluptuousness and in the end force them to turn to surgeons.
If these operations are performed without anesthesia, they are very painful and for a certain time wean the patient from this vice.
The harmful effect of onanism on the digestive organs is manifested exclusively through sexual neurasthenia. These phenomena, of course, are not as frequent as damage to the nervous system. In neurasthenics engaged in masturbation, digestion is difficult due to the so-called nervous dyspepsia, which is expressed in pain in the stomach immediately after eating, as well as in belching, vomiting, especially after mental unrest. These phenomena are accompanied by loss of appetite, ejaculation and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Less commonly, masturbators develop nervous gastric diseases, complicated by vomiting, perstaltic bowel movement, constipation and bloating.
A careful study of patients showed that gastric diseases occur as a result of an excited mental state, as well as under the influence of onanistic seizures. The central nervous system controls all abnormal phenomena that cause pain in the stomach, and, as it turns out, this phenomenon is not of a nervous order, but has all the symptoms of a disease of the gastric nerves. In such patients, a headache, heaviness in the head, a violation in the field of sexual administration and an unbalanced state of mind are noticed.
The general condition of the patient depends mainly on the mood, and the mood of the spirit changes depending on the gastrointestinal phenomena. In some patients, stomach pains come on immediately after taking digestible food, even in small quantities, such as from a few spoons of soup, from two or three sips of broth; in other cases, the masturbator easily digests a large meal of hard-to-digest dishes. It is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis that could determine the origin of gastrointestinal diseases. It depends mainly on how the patient's stomach is generally adapted to the digestion of coarse food. Most often, we notice complications in the stomach in patients of the prosperous class, who are accustomed to pampered food, all sorts of delicacies, such as caviar, salmon, sardines, etc., as well as to alcoholic beverages, cognac, etc. Nervous diseases of the stomach are also joined by catarrh of the stomach. In young men of both sexes, at a time when the body needs an influx of nutrients and the need for food is increased, masturbation causes increased appetite.
At first, it seems that the body intensively replenishes the departed energy, due to the long process of onanism, by demanding large doses of food. Over time, with prolonged masturbation, a completely different picture emerges: patients experience thinness, pallor, and all those nutritional disorders that lead to nervous cachexia are noticed. All this is accompanied by a breakdown, weakness, swelling of the intestines, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea. Women are especially predisposed to this. I have observed in patients diarrhea of an undeniably onanistic origin; one 20-year-old patient had attacks of diarrhea as soon as she got into bed and warmed her genitals. 5-6 times during the night she had these urges, and according to the diagnosis of doctors, and my personal observation, this woman suffered from sexual neurasthenia.
It was possible to establish that diarrhea followed shortly after the death of her husband and, as it turned out later, from onanistic manipulations, to which this widow often resorted. I advised the patient to get married as soon as possible, and when she soon carried out her intention, she was completely freed from all stomach pains. Here are the facts that convince us of the influence of sexual neurasthenia on the digestive processes. Prof. Preyer cites a number of cases of gastric diseases that have arisen in connection with a disorder of the sexual sphere. Hoffmann talks about a man who had diarrhea after an act of onanism, and Fournier comments on another case of a young man with severe abdominal colic and diarrhea caused by onanica, and when the patient was given dietary food (a small amount of red wine, meat food, etc.) All these symptoms immediately disappeared. In general, indigestion in masturbators is not so rare. It must be admitted, however, that Fournier somewhat exaggerates these phenomena. According to the general conclusion of doctors, sexual neurasthenia, which arose on the basis of onanism, entails disturbances in mental and spiritual activity and, in very rare cases, indigestion.
Not only doctors, but also most people know about the existence of a connection between the respiratory organs (throat) and sexual functions. It is known, for example, how in the period of manhood the voice of young men changes, which then goes down, then rises, acquiring a shade of hoarseness or sonority. There are also cases when in ancient times they resorted to castration of singers, in order to preserve the voice, mainly in boys. In Italy, back in the 20th century, the testicles of boys were cut out when they entered the Italian church choir. Medicine knows cases when women undergoing a castration operation changed their voice, which acquired a masculine shade, more coarse, while in adult men this operation caused just the opposite phenomenon. The effect of masturbation on the lungs is insignificant, and if there are still reverse cases in medicine, then this refers to the period when masturbation has not yet been sufficiently studied by researchers.
Plyaters describes a case when a man who remarried, during intercourse with his wife and during ordinary sexual arousal, had asthma attacks. This subject died during violent copulation. Plyaters does not say anything about the true cause of the patient's death, that is, about a disease of the lungs or heart.
However, it must be said that the latest authors - modern researchers - are of the same opinion that masturbation has an extremely unfavorable effect on the lungs. Fournier, for example, testifies that onanists, for the most part, suffer from underdevelopment of the chest, difficulty breathing, lung damage and chronic catarrh. Fournier considers this fact so convincing that it does not need to be supported by other observations.
Even Riebing, this "innovator" in the field of investigating the causality of onanism, reports that diseases of the heart and lungs are undoubtedly the consequences of onanism.
Peyer cites a number of cases of asthmatic patients due to sexual excesses, i.e. there is a so-called sexual asthma. I admit that the process was aggravated by the phenomena of sexual neurasthenia, the bronchial state of the respiratory tract, and more often by asthmatic processes.
If we are talking about the direct and immediate effect of onanism on the respiratory tract, then I must point out that there is no direct effect of onanism on the respiratory and circulatory organs.
Onanism has a more detrimental effect on the circulatory organs. This time, sexual neurasthenia takes precedence. To be convinced of the influence of onanism on the activity of the heart, it is enough to follow the phenomena that arise during copulation. Excitation multiplies the number of heartbeats, breathing spirals, the face is filled with blood. This creates an excessive acceleration of the blood circulation and brings the subject to the extreme limit of tension. Here is the question whether excessive onanism, in the presence of a predisposition, such as arteriosclerosis and other causes, can lead to apoplexy or the occurrence of an aneurysm. In science we find cases when the excessive excitement of one man with a young girl led to death, due to an insignificant aortic aneurysm. Palpitations, attacks of pain in the chest region, increased cardiac activity, paroxysmal increased heart rate - can certainly develop in the form of heart neuroses in masturbators.
The fact that such phenomena on the part of the heart are still dependent on a strong nervous influence convinces us that onanists suffering from cardiac neurosis are also subject to other nervous diseases. The latter conclusion gives us an undoubted right to suspect sexual neurasthenia in the patient.
Following this, the question arises about the possibility of the influence of onanism on the muscular system, i.e. about the possible consequences of onanism, such as complete paralysis and even partial paralysis. We must here, with regard to the influence of onanism on the muscular system, completely repeat what we have said about the relationship between onanism and the respiratory organs, i.e., that influence is exaggerated. In 1857, the famous French scientist Bourbon chose this issue as the topic of his dissertation. A number of his conclusions and observations boiled down to the fact that small rushes of blood should have an undoubted effect on the brain and, mainly, the spinal cord.
These phenomena give rise to partial shocks, which, in turn, lead to paraplegia.
I consider this incredible, since I do not know, either in my practice or in the practice of other scientists, cases of paralysis in a patient, contractures and other "shock" consequences from onanism.
In my opinion, onanism weakens the muscular system, which is why after each act of masturbation, along with a decrease in mental activity and slight physical fatigue, there is a weakening of the gait, fatigue, and sometimes pain in the limbs. Patients often complain of a feeling of heaviness in all members. I consider this kind of phenomenon to be symptomatic for diagnosticians as well, but as a doctor I cannot admit the dependence of paralysis on masturbation.
I have to divide this part into two groups:
1. Organic lesions and -
2. Lesions are functional.
Organic lesions are less important than the latter. According to the observations of doctors, from frequent masturbation, as well as from frequent perverted copulations, the genitals in men and women increase, especially in the former, when the size and size of the penis reaches extraordinary sizes. In boys and adult men, the penis and scrotum simultaneously increase, and in girls and women, large and small shameful lips and, mainly, the clitoris. This also occurs due to constriction from frequent flushes of blood. We find materials in studies on masturbation in which we can deduct that in prostitutes the clitoris reached a length of 6-8 centimeters, at which it swells strongly, turns purple-red, folds form near it and in its appearance it resembles the shape of a male penis . In medicine, we know cases when such phenomena gave us reason to consider such women as hermaphrodites. Their shameful lips lengthened, signs of edema appeared, they sagged and thickened. The external opening in these cases opens, and the expansion of the canal extends almost to the neck of the bladder.
If it can be argued that masturbators, as a result of their pernicious passion, enlarged the genitals, then it cannot be concluded from this that masturbation is the cause here. In the vast majority of cases, the genitals of onanists are no different from the genitals of all people.
Eczema, rashes appear on the genitals, arising from rubbing and scratching them. These are, however, rare phenomena and they appear mainly in girls and women. In practice, I usually did not have to observe this. Masturbation, performed by hand or in other ways, entails other consequences than friction of the thighs, the introduction of foreign bodies into the genital slit, etc. Tardieu points out that some girls inserted various objects into their vaginas and developed the elasticity of the genital organs to such an extent that in later they succeeded without violating the hymen. With onanism, by rubbing the thighs, the foreskin develops less in relation to the size of the clitoris than when masturbating with a hand, and the clitoris does not lengthen as much, a characteristic feature is its elasticity and elongation, in the form of a pestle.
The influence of masturbation on the internal female organs, especially on the cervix and its appendages, is also small. Most girls and adult girls are not so often prone to diseases of the genital organs, despite frequent masturbation. Experiments show that diseases of the genital parts in women arise mainly after marriage, and most often diseases occur as a result of gonorrhea in their husbands. However, it should be remembered that since there is some kind of anomaly in the uterus itself, then masturbation, which sharply increases sexual activity and irritates the genitals, has an extremely unfavorable effect on the general sexual sphere.
Masturbation certainly affects the early development of sexual functions, that is. early maturation of sexual desire, and in connection with this causes premature erections and ejaculation. That's all I can say about the organic violation of the genital organs in masturbation.
Functional damage to the genital organs and urinary tract, no doubt, entirely dependent on sexual neurasthenia. I divide them into two groups:
a) on neuroses of genitourinary origin and - on
b) functional disorders.
a) neuroses.
First of all, in case of urinary diseases, the bladder is affected, i.e. there are nerve pains in the bladder.
The disease consists of suffering that appears in the area of the pubic bone, occurring during or after urination. In addition, neurosis entails an increased urge to urinate, and at the same time urine comes out in drops, and in color and composition it is completely normal. This can be explained by the abnormal innervation of the muscles that block the bladder. Etoile reports cases of the appearance of bloody oochi after onanism and even its retention.
The consequences are even more terrible when the so-called "urinary incontinence" appears in patients. This disease can last from the earliest years up to the age of 30, and it occurs mainly in girls, as a result of onanism. I observed a 12-year-old patient, who urinated under herself every night. Her appearance, physique, melancholic appearance, and other signs led me to the idea that the girl indulged in masturbation. From the inquiries of others, I learned that my suspicions were quite reasonable, since the father overtook the girl during masturbation. Through long-term treatments, I managed to achieve very real results.
Sexual neuroses are often expressed in neuralgia of the testicles of the surrounding parts, and least of all - of the urinary tract. Among my patients, I knew one student who suffered from severe neuralgic pains in the region of the testicles, which soon spread to the spermatic cord and caused attacks of sexual neurasthenia as a result. I resorted to treatment with faradic current, and this gave favorable results. In other patients, I have observed increased sensitivity of the head of the penis. The least of all I have noticed in patients is the so-called "dance of the testicles", which occurs due to muscle twitching.
b) Functional disorders.
This phenomenon occurs in both men and women, moreover, in men it causes semen and impotence, and in women - infertility.
White sputum is undoubtedly the result of prolonged onanism. It is known that in young people leading a normal lifestyle (abstinence), wet dreams appear in a dream that occur without the participation of the will of a person. Pollutions are physiological and painful, but it is impossible to establish a boundary between them.
Pollutions arising in the state of wakefulness should be attributed to pollutions of painful phenomena, i.e. to periodic, too frequent eruptions of the seed during erection of the penis and voluptuous sexual sensations.
Semyonation, i.e. the outpouring of semen, which, in contrast to wet dreams, does not entail an erection, and is also free from voluptuousness, occurs mainly during urination and stool.
It can be said with full confidence that frequent wet dreams prevail over spermatorrhea. This is explained by the fact that the public considers wet dreams to be a safe phenomenon and is afraid of the ejaculation that occurs during bowel movements.
Increased walking, excessive tension, even touching the genitals can serve as an impetus for the appearance of sperm, which is reminiscent of the beginning of sexual excesses and onanism. Sperm is a cloudy gelatinous liquid with a specific odor and, if viewed under a microscope, it consists of billions of spermatozoa. With the progressive development of the disease, especially when wet dreams appear due to onanism, the semen becomes watery, more transparent, thinner, and the number of spermatozoa in it decreases. I must say that not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively they change.
The disease here referred to is the result of the patient's neurasthenic tendencies, and is chiefly found in people of the prosperous class, who do not overburden their mental functions with work and are able to indulge uncontrollably in sexual pleasures. It is this social position that multiplies the number of masturbators; it is quite natural that we find this disease predominantly in men of mature age, especially in the 20th year of life.
Sexual impotence (impotence) in men indicates onanism; by impotence we mean the inability to perform the act of copulation with the opposite sex, i.e. complete weakening of sexual activity during intercourse. Impotence is different in form: nervous and mental.
Nervous impotence is the most common form among patients. This impotence, since it is associated with sexual neurasthenia, is temporary, just like weakness, insomnia, palpitations. This typical picture of field neurasthenia is extremely varied and extremely variable. The only question left unexplained is why, with sexual neurasthenia, some have only seminal flow, others have nervous impotence, and others have both.
There is an opinion that onanism subsequently gives only seminal flow and that sexual impotence is caused by sexual excesses. Practitioners have observed that both of these vices result in joint symptoms, seminal bleeding and impotence, and sometimes (but this is less common) one of these phenomena. Onanism, along with sexual excesses, gives the same picture of seminiferous or impotence, which we observe in systematic (interrupted) copulations.
In patients, this disease appears in the following order: first sedation, and then - impotence. Furbinger reports that, according to his observations, about 30% of patients suffering from nervous impotence owe their illness exclusively to onanism.
So, we give a description of these diseases according to the following statistics:
1. Absolute impotence,
2. Relative and -
3. Temporary.
Absolute impotence is characterized by a complete inability to have sexual intercourse with a woman, despite the conditions conducive to this.
Relative impotence occurs when the ability to copulate is lost under the influence of the mood of the spirit and environmental conditions.
Temporary impotence cannot be characterized by any well-established symptoms, it appears rarely, for a short time and is soon replaced by full sexual energy.
The father of a large family - my patient - 40 years old, suffered from dyspepsia and cardiac neurosis. He complained to me that for 8-14 days he was not able to copulate with his wife, and he acquired this disease due to interrupted copulation, which he resorted to quite often in his married life. The first two phenomena (absolute and relative impotence) are the mildest forms of the disease, and they are accompanied by the disappearance of erection in men, without which the act of copulation is unthinkable. Very often, just before the introduction of a penis into the female sexual sphere, a sudden lethargy of the penis occurs, but there are cases when this lethargy occurs after its introduction.
Nervous impotence is accompanied mainly by the eruption of the seed, which occurs at the very beginning or even before the beginning of the act. Kraft-Ebing believes that an early form of impotence appears in persons who suffer from sexual neurasthenia. At this point, I draw the special attention of practicing doctors. - They have every reason to believe that if a patient has an early eruption of the seed, then there is sexual neurasthenia, which will either lead to impotence, or rewarded the patient with impotence.
Nervous impotence is the result of early ejaculation. This kind of form of impotence is the most common. Furbinger considers these sufferings to be very severe, approaching the forms of daytime emissions. I disagree with him in this view, because practice has shown me that there is a significant difference between them: daytime emissions, accompanied by only a slight sexual arousal and an attempt to copulate, accompanied by a slight erection and early ejaculation, but at the same time it gives everything effects that take place during copulation.
Nervous impotence also occurs as a result of a violation of a man's ability to erections - the most frequent form and, in practical terms, important. The penis cannot come into a state of great tension, and if he succeeds, then only for a few seconds. This phenomenon indicates that a person suffers from a decline in energy, a decrease in mental activity and relevance in all life issues. On the contrary, energetic people, possessed by a large will with sufficiently developed mental faculties, are prone to quick erections for a rather long period; with old age, all sexual functions die out: sexual lust, orgasmus and eruption of the seed. There is a picture similar to the above form of impotence. Nervous impotence causes in most patients local disorders of the genital area: either increased sensitivity of the head of the penis, or loss of its sensitivity.
Mental impotence is less often a consequence of masturbation, more often it is observed with "interrupted copulation", which has been practiced by patients for years.
Mental impotence often occurs in newlyweds and newlyweds, especially in the first time after the wedding. Patients at the same time are terribly depressed, oppressed, as their honeymoon is disturbed. I will allow myself to cite the mental state of an impotent described by Reti. “Two mutually loving people got married. The wife, possessing great beauty, grace, tenderness, in love to the point of self-forgetfulness, was ready to give herself to her beloved husband with fullness characteristic only of women, but at the decisive moment, despite the most ardent lustful urges, to his horror, he was deprived of the opportunity to cause an erection. The woman is amazed, depressed by the unexpected impotence of her beloved, and the latter, like a serious sinner, is humiliated and disgraced ... Every movement of his wife seems to him contempt, boundless mockery, and if she is so chaste that she does not understand the meaning of impotence, then the husband nevertheless experiencing a terrible feeling of depression and emptiness."
Suffering, internal division, fear of the future make a person an insignificant creature, this is aggravated by the fact that such phenomena were not observed before marriage. In most cases, such patients are young people in love who, during the time of their marriage, are obsessed with a certainty, bordering on psychosis, that they will not succeed in possessing a future wife.
How can this be explained? There is one mental explanation: lack of confidence in one's sexual power.
A tense idea of future lust entails such a sharp increase in sexual excitability that the normal course of the reflex process changes, and just before the act of copulation, sexual tension falls. Most of the first couples, if they have previously engaged in masturbation, go to the marriage bed with a sense of horror and uncertainty about the positivity of the act. Here we observe all the symptoms of psychic impotence.
If mental impotence develops after marriage, then there are signs of previous onanism and "interrupted copulation" practiced for years. Young people are sometimes haunted by the obsessive thought that they will never cope with the necessary act, and this uncertainty entails phenomena of a purely nervous nature, bordering almost on auto-suggestion, they actually do not succeed in capturing a woman.
The weakening of sexual activity is revealed especially when the "early masturbator" begins to gradually refrain from his vice in order to prepare himself for normal sexual intercourse. Here we observe the premature eruption of the seed. These phenomena, however, disappear quite quickly and without a trace, if only one who masturbates with sufficient willpower and determination leaves his vice.
Relative or temporary impotence in no way excludes the ability to reproduce offspring. Furbinger believes that mental or nervous impotence does not interfere with fertilization. The assertion that fertilization is impossible without sexual power is absolutely wrong; in fact, the essence of the prolongation of the human race is not hidden in arousal, but in the release of healthy fertilizing sperm, i.e., in a condition feasible by the percentage of people suffering from temporary impotence as a consequence of masturbation.
Since ancient times, diseases of the genital area in men, in the form of ejaculation or impotence, are explained as the consequences of onanism. Until now, it has not occurred to anyone that similar phenomena are observed in women. If we can argue about functional disorders of the female sexual areas that occur in exactly the same way as in men, then in women it is still necessary to distinguish between two types of sexual disorder, namely: 1) vaginismus, 2) infertility, both phenomena are the consequences of onanism. a consequence of onanism, we have already indicated in previous chapters, it is only important to establish here that onanism is a consequence of vaginismus, which is expressed in a greatly increased sensitivity of the hymen, with which the entrance to the vagina is so acute that copulation becomes unthinkable.This phenomenon gives rise to the suspicion of a predisposition hysterical women to sexual neurasthenia.Excessive sensitivity of the nerves of the genital area corresponds to the muscles that They also contract convulsively, at the most superficial touch to the genitals. Often these sensations are caused by a man with an inept approach to the act of copulation, ignorance of the anatomical devices of the female genital organs.
Prof. Kish reports such a case: a young woman suffering from vaginismus experienced such pain when a male organ touched her that she could not allow her husband to copulate. This led to further divorce. More than a year later, this lady came to me as a patient, remarried, who turned out to have a complete relapse of the experienced anomaly. Kish found clear signs of vaginismus in her, a disease that arose under the influence of prolonged masturbation even before marriage.
In my practice, there were other cases of vaginismus; I was able to cure these phenomena by abstaining from masturbation.
Infertility, as a consequence of onanism, is a highly controversial issue. In any case, if the influence of onanism can affect infertility in women, then this influence is not direct, i.e. in other words, masturbation may contribute to infertility, but it is not the direct cause of it. Aran used one patient in whom, as a result of onanism, the uterus and its appendages were poorly developed, and Cambel, on the basis of his practice, reports the case of the absolute cessation of menstruation in a young woman who indulged in masturbation.
Insufficient development of the sexual parts can, due to the abuse of onanism, be attributed to mutually dependent forms, but one should not conclude that onanism leads directly to infertility. After all, we know cases when the development of the genital organs suffers from the rudiments of infertility, that is, predisposition, and if, under these conditions, the state of the sexual sphere is aggravated by masturbation, then, of course, infertility can come faster.
The connection between onanism and cohabitation exists and is expressed in the following: the act of copulation in normal and healthy people should not cause either a breakdown or a depressed mood, this, of course, does not apply to nervous people, in whom these two phenomena, plus fatigue, arise directly after sexual intercourse. And in this case, one can unmistakably suspect sexual neurasthenia. We observe the same thing in persons subjected to seeding as a result of masturbation, and we see exactly the same picture when copulating with old masturbators. Mental weakness, general fatigue occurs in them immediately after sexual intercourse.
If we have concluded that masturbation affects individual organs of our body, if the consequences of masturbation affect the individual both mentally and physically, then we will unmistakably conclude that masturbation has a general effect on the entire human body. And here we are not talking about a breakdown or malnutrition, but about general depression, fatigue and complete disorganization of the organic state of a person, depending on the duration of this person's occupation with masturbation.
Personally, I am sure that the majority of young men, pale and thin, owe the state of their body to their debilitating vice. If any of the doctors does not share my point of view, then I attribute this to the insufficient study of onanism in the medical literature in general. In this case, I apply the method not so much medical as psychological: if the patient suffers from consumption, anemia, diabetes, kidney disease, general decline in strength, and, moreover, masturbates, then this defect contributes to an even more significant decrease in strength and disruption of the state of the body. I knew people with a very strong physique, in which masturbation undermined their general state of health, and if they point out to me that there are cases when masturbation did not affect the human body in any way, then I will attribute this to exceptional and unlikely cases.
Traces of onanism on human health remain in the form of a nervous disorder of the digestive organs, or other phenomena that entail complete decadence and strength and mood. One way or another, the consequences of onanism are felt, and no criticism of this view will convince me otherwise.
At the same time, there is a gait disorder, limited mobility, running and weakening of the muscular system. If, when observing young men with pale faces, suffering from apathy and fatigue, we cannot recognize the true cause of their condition, then, without any doubt, the reason lies in sexual excesses, regardless of whether it was natural copulation or onanism.
Onaniki also often suffer from insomnia, and if they manage to fall asleep for a while, then their sleep is sensitive, anxious, restless. All these phenomena drive them to the doctor, but they leave him for the most part disappointed. The doctor determines the disease of the stomach, nervousness, anemia, and often he does not recognize the true cause of the disease, while the patient hides: a sense of shame, awkwardness take possession of him. Complete mental discord, dissatisfaction begins, and the patient falls into despair. I am writing these lines so that the doctor in all the cases I have indicated will look for the main cause of the disease. The phenomena I have listed are so symptomatic that an unmistakable diagnosis can bring salvation to the patient.
I would like to finish this chapter with a few words about the consequences of onanism.
Let us assume the case when a person engaged in masturbation is endowed with excellent physical health, full mental flowering and does not suffer from his vice in any way, moreover, he enjoys absolutely hygienic living conditions. Nevertheless, I have no reason to believe that serious consequences will not arise from onanism under the indicated conditions. Undoubtedly, there will be a process of gradual weakening, both physical and moral, the degree of resistance to the will will decrease, and the patient will become a slave to his vice.
I think that we will be close to the truth if we point out that humanity usually begins its sexual activity with onanism, and if this vice, which began from a young age, did not stop in time, then it entails a chronic, I would say, epidemic continuation of masturbation. Here I turn to the characterization of the following stages of the consequences of the disease:
1. The stage of the physical and mental immoral state of the patient.
2. Stage of nervous diseases and -
3. Stage of offensive psychoses.
It should only be clear to the reader that I am not establishing here the stages that are obligatory for each onanist, I am only pointing out the progress of the disease and the consequences that may arise in patients with the unceasing development of the defect.
In the first stage, i.e. in the physical and mental immoral state of the patient, we notice a dull look, lifeless eyes, apathy, fatigue, pallor of the face, anemia. Under sunken eyes - blue circles. Movements are lethargic, apathetic, in a word, a person changes dramatically in appearance, which takes on the appearance of an "older person". To this physical lowness, mental faculties are also added: mental abilities are dulled, memory weakens, absent-mindedness appears, and faith in oneself is lost. irritability, solitude, a purely feeling of loneliness - all this completely destroys the personality, plunging a person into horror.Requires proper education in order to return the patient to a normal state, arousing in him those vital forces that provide support and faith in his future.
At this time, it is necessary to stop the disease in the most decisive way, until the entire central nervous system of the patient is affected.
When an internal disease appears in an onanist, a disease of the central nervous system, then we have here the second stage of the disease.
This second stage leads first of all to a weakening of the muscles, and it is not difficult to imagine the state of a person in whom, in addition to the general disorder of the whole organism and oppression of the spirit, there is also disorder of the muscles. Dizziness appears, light phenomena appear before the eyes, the entire nervous system is tense, the abdominal organs are subject to changes and contractions incomprehensible to the patient. The heart works intermittently, the pulse quickens, breathing is difficult (although no pathological phenomena are observed in the circulatory organs and respiratory tract). If the patient experiences a period of growth, then the process of chlorosis occurs simultaneously. Appetite disappears, and the patient, regardless of the degree of his intelligence and development, turns into a stupid, little thinking person.
If we add to this the painful loss of semen, vaginismus in a woman and sexual impotence in men, then it will not be difficult to imagine the patient and his state of mind. The first period of the disease does not violate the almost normal functions of the genital area; however, in the second period, the patient begins a difficult process: the erection slows down and the patient has to resort to the help of fantasy in order to achieve sexual arousal. In these people, after sexual arousal and the onset of an erection, ejaculation immediately appears. Gradually, this leads to the fact that even in the absence of an erection, ejaculation appears in persons of the second stage, which becomes all the more painful and painful, since it mostly appears in society, in the presence of many people and comes so quickly that the patient does not have time to bow and retire.
Involuntary ejaculation, which usually occurs only at night, has a destructive effect on the psyche and physical condition of a person. This functional disorder leads to neuralgia in the genital area, thighs and lumbar vertebrae. The picture is complemented by damage to the urinary tract, incontinence or retention of urine, pain and pain during urination.
The physical development of the disease in females entails anemia, pale infirmity and a general breakdown. Diseases of the ovaries in young girls also occur to some extent due to frequent masturbation. To be more convincing that this is so, I will point out the case when, after marriage, these pains completely ceased in many girls.
Mental development is expressed in them in the weakening of memory, stupidity, forgetfulness, increased susceptibility, which easily excites fantasy, and so on. Here are two stages that appear in patients in extremely diverse ways. During this second period, there are cases of a sudden cessation of onanism, which is difficult to explain from a medical point of view: whether this is the result of internal work on oneself or a consequence of any other reasons, or, finally, that the patient’s physical and mental state does not give him opportunity to continue masturbation.
The third stage - the stage of offensive psychoses - is expressed in the weakening of all mental abilities that suppress the brain activity of a person and deprive him of self-control. In these cases, patients develop mild psychoses: the noblest inclinations disappear, pangs of conscience arise, the process of spiritual oppression continues, and if, in addition, the patient is possessed by a nervous predisposition, then he comes to the deepest inner tragedy.
Lowering the moral qualities of a person, i.e. his moral principles and the violation of character are the undoubted consequences of onanism; first of all, it is necessary to develop in a person the concept of good and evil, of sincerity and truth. In a word, it is necessary to raise the moral state of a person to such a height that would allow him to look at his vice as an immoral act, the mind must raise its voice and force a person to work on himself.
Under other conditions, the masturbator becomes spineless, his actions are completely arbitrary, he is not responsible for his actions, he shows stupidity, and all his topics revolve exclusively around questions of sex.
Masturbation cannot help but affect the family and even all of humanity. In our social system, when a person lives not only his personal life, his inclinations to good or bad habits cannot but influence the environment. However, I believe that the question of the immediate danger to the family is somewhat exaggerated. Indirect dangers to others should also fade into the background. The well-known researcher Peter Frank testifies that onanists burden all mankind with their existence, that they cannot give anything to either society or the environment in which they move, and therefore, in some cases, they should even be feared. Frank built his conclusions in such a way that he wanted to involve the state in the fight against this evil. I believe that he exaggerated too much the importance of masturbators for the environment and I think that logically I will open my thought correctly: for if we assume that masturbators are so dangerous for the family and others, then with the observations that we have, we must consider that one subject is dangerous for another, and that we are gradually in the sphere of mutual dangerous clashes of people and passions. The position defended by Frank is not humane, and I would say anti-social, since, on the one hand, it can lead to the complete contempt of onanists who would have to be looked at as lepers. Tissot testifies that onanists lose the concept of natural pleasures during intercourse (he observed this phenomenon more often among women). According to Rousseau, the natural pleasures of love cause complete indifference among onanists, and they prefer to the very bed of marriage to indulge in this korok, rather than live the normal act of copulation.
Consequently, Tissot came to the conclusion that masturbation keeps many in the position of perpetual bachelors. This opinion is supported by Prof. Alibert, who reports a case of such a great predilection in a patient for masturbation, that natural intercourse disgusted him, and the man was never aroused by women.
I personally attribute this phenomenon rather to perversions of the sexual state and, perhaps, to the attraction of the sexes of the same name, but I can in no way agree with the conclusions of Tissot and Alibert.
In addition, I doubt that masturbation could give the same experience as natural copulation, because the instant gratification that immediately occurs with masturbation cannot be compared with the act of pleasure that a person receives from normal copulation. The duration of the process of onanism, i.e. moment of onset of ejaculation, I strongly deny. Only in people with great will, who know how to regulate the process of ejaculation, I allow in extremely rare cases a long process of manipulation without an immediate onset of ejaculation. I apply this to people who have mental abilities, i.e. reason prevails over everything else, and these subjects should be rewarded with great talent and good imagination. Nature indicates the absolutely correct paths that humanity should follow in sexual relations, while masturbation is an unnatural act and harms society by the very fact that it undermines the physical and mental functions of a person as a member of society and family Our youth would certainly be stronger, more spiritual and stronger if they were delivered from this vice.
From this point of view, masturbation even poses a danger, and I understand why Burdak claims that masturbation is a "crime of the human race", and in the opinion of another scientist, "neither war, nor smallpox, nor plague, nor other disasters can give humanity such unfortunate consequences, like onanism, which is a devastating fact for mankind. The epidemic nature of such a phenomenon is threatening for mankind. So does Paris.
Roleder G. Masturbation
WEASEL- an action that brings pleasure ("la" - soul, "ska" - even; i.e. smoothing, restoring a wounded, distorted soul).
YAN- the strength (energy) of the male essence of the Almighty:
expansion, evolution, creation, light, fire, solar influence, etc.
Helps to increase the Primordial Light.
YIN- the energy of Causal matter, the feminine principle:
compression, absorption, darkness, cold, dampness, lunar influence, etc.
Helps to increase Causal matter.
The basic rules for mastering sexual energy are the control of ejaculation, the importance of satisfying a woman and understanding that male orgasm and ejaculation are not the same thing.
In the Vedic scriptures, advice is given on how to achieve transcendental states of consciousness during intercourse:
"Hold the seed, hold back the thought, hold your breath."
Explaining the meaning of the first part of this advice, "The Tao of Sex" (translated by Ishihara and Levi; see Louis V. Mildman "Mystical Sex", pp. 97-98. "Sofia", Kiev, 1996)
narrates:
"I want to hear what will be the result if you move (make love) but don't lose (semen)?"
The simple woman replied:
“If you keep moving but don’t lose, then your vitality and energy will increase.
If you move again but don't lose, your ears and eyes will become more sensitive.
If for the third time you move, but do not lose, all diseases will leave you.
If the fourth time you move, but do not lose, then your five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys) will come to peace.
If for the fifth time you move, but do not lose, your blood will flow through the veins with renewed vigor.
If on the sixth time you move, but do not lose, your waist and back will be strengthened and filled with strength.
If on the seventh time you move, but do not lose, your buttocks and thighs will become inexpressibly strengthened.
If on the eighth time you move, but do not lose, your body will begin to glow.
If on the ninth time you move, but do not lose, you will not lose your longevity.
If for the tenth time you move, but do not lose, you will be able to speak with the gods.
The middle part of this advice speaks of the need to reduce the internal verbal comprehension of one's actions to a level where it does not interfere with the emotional closeness of a man and a woman, the unification of their vitality and the achievement of a spiritualized consciousness.
Explaining the last part, Choraka Samhita says:
“As long as the breath is active, the seed is also in motion.
When the breath stops moving, the seed is still...
When the breath moves, the mind also moves; when the breath stops moving, the mind becomes still.”
The famous Taoist physician Sun Xiu-Mo, born in 581 B.C. and lived for 101 years, believed that if a man can make love a hundred times without ejaculation, then he can live a long life.
He argued that when the jin (essence, or seed) of a man becomes insufficient, the man will become sick and, with the depletion of the seed, die.
Sun knew that many men could not achieve this ideal, so he set up a simpler rule that most men could follow:
“A man can also live a healthy and long life if he maintains a frequency of seminal loss in intercourse of 2 per month or 24 per year.
If he pays attention to healthy food and exercise at the same time, he can achieve longevity.”
Then he offered another criterion:
“A man in his 20s can have 1 semen loss every 4 days.
A man in his 30s can lose once every 8 days.
A man in his 40s can lose every 10 days.
A 50-year-old man - every 20 days.
A man of 60 has no more to lose; if he is exceptionally strong and healthy, he may still lose semen once a month.”
Knowledgeable people know that after the loss of a seed, a man feels tired, his ears are buzzing, his eyes are stuck together and he wants to sleep.
He feels thirsty, and his limbs become sluggish and stiff, followed by long hours of exhaustion.
Naturally, in such a weakened state, it is impossible to attract the powerful spirit of an aristocrat for conception.
The seed was created by Nature not for the satisfaction of the senses, but for the embodiment of offspring, therefore a knowledgeable person does not waste his seed in vain.
As a result, all his bodies and shells accumulate energy and become stronger, and his love for his wife increases.
At the same time, the woman draws the sexual energy of her husband and, increasing her Yin-essence, transfers it back to her husband.
He, balancing his Yang power with the Yin power of his wife, achieves an even greater increase in his Yang essence.
In this way, the spouses achieve the powerful calm necessary for the embodiment of the Great Soul.
When both spouses are spiritually developed, they can connect deeply without movement so that the seed is not aroused; at the same time, the couple should imagine that there is a red energy ball the size of a chicken egg in their navels.
They can push quite effortlessly, but if they get excited, they should back off.
Within 24 hours, such a couple can perform this type of copulation dozens of times.
By doing so, they will be able to live long.
Just as a woman cannot live happily without a man, so a man should not live long without a woman:
at the same time, he will constantly strive for the female sex, and this desire will tire his spirit.
And when the spirit is tired, a person cannot live long.
If a man really does not need a woman or does not long for any of them, it can be very good, and he too will live a long life, but such people are extremely rare.
If a man tries to suppress the natural need to ejaculate for a long period of time, it will be very difficult to keep the semen, but very easy to lose it.
It will be lost during sleep or contaminate the urine, or the man will suffer painful mating with ghosts.
If he loses his seed in this way, it will be a hundred times more harmful.
If someone knows how to control his energy, then the more women for making love, the better for his health, but for someone who is in the dark, one woman is enough to bring him closer to the grave.
During sexual intimacy during ejaculation from a man to a woman, his moral qualities, the program of the body structure (genetic code) and the imprint of the distortion of the energy structure from his illnesses are transmitted with a flow of energy.
Programs and energy codes from different sexual partners of the expectant mother, superimposed on each other, are amplified through resonance.
This combined "garbage" is transferred into the woman's cells, and then into the body of her unborn child.
Information about these distortions is stored in the field structure of the cells of a woman's body until she gives birth or a miscarriage occurs, but not an abortion.
For a woman transfers this harmful energy that oppresses her body into the body of a child.
In case of artificial termination of pregnancy (abortion), there is no distortion of information.
Many women's diseases, obtained at the field level from men, disappear immediately after childbirth.
At the same time, the woman's body is updated, she becomes clean from the collected "garbage".
That's why natural childbirth is good for them.
Therefore, our ancestors argued that a woman is saved through childbearing.
Vedic scriptures state that in order to incarnate a Great Soul with a powerful Spirit, it is necessary to create an energy vortex of equally great power between spouses. If the intercourse takes place with insufficient tension of feelings, soulfulness and spirituality of the spouses, then the power of the Great Soul will not be able to come into line with their energy whirlwind and produce conception.
In this case, only that soul will be embodied, the strength of which will correspond to the energy strength of the parents at the time of conception.
Vedic texts indicate 9 signs by which it can be determined that a woman has fully reached a full state for conception
When she begins to breathe rapidly, her life force is in her lungs;
- when she kisses a man - the power of life has moved into her heart;
- she hugs a man tightly - strength in the spleen;
- her vagina becomes wet - strength in the kidneys and in the genitals;
- she moves her pelvis and bites gently - strength has penetrated into the bones;
- her legs tightly clasp the man - strength in the muscles;
- she caresses the penis - strength in the blood;
- she kisses with deep passion - power has reached her skin;
- she gives herself and moans in delight - the life force entered the liver and released her spirit.
She is truly ready to accept the male seed to incarnate a Great Soul with a powerful Spirit.
The first achievement is the hardness of the male penis. If at the same time it has an erection, that is, it is straight, but not enlarged, then there is not enough vitality in the blood.
- The second achievement is its increase; but if at the same time it is not strong, this means that the life force has not yet penetrated into the bones.
- The third achievement - a fortress; but if he is strong, but not hot, his vital force has not yet reached the spirit of a man.
- The fourth achievement is warmth.
- Thus, having reached the stage of readiness, the spouses are able to achieve perfect fusion.
But it was hard to hide anything from her. She just knew his thoughts.
- Dmitry, be what you are. There is no need to change or adapt. I know how you feel, and do not be afraid that you will harm me with this. Before us there is no love yet, there is passion and ardor. There is always fire behind it. And this ardor will grow every hour while we are near. But it is too early for us to think about intimacy, because I don’t know what can happen: I lost my scythe and now I can’t go back, but I’m also here temporarily. And in order to share the same bed with you, a revelation must come ...
Dmitry listened to her and was silent. It was possible not to talk to her: she herself, without his knowledge, knew what he was thinking. Then, smiling, he said softly:
- In general, now I feel naked in front of you, and I, you know ... - he did not have time to finish.
- Don't be ashamed of your thoughts. You are a man and always thought and think about the continuation of your kind when meeting with women. There is nothing wrong. You simply cannot help but think about it, because what you are endowed with from birth and what is laid in us by heaven cannot be changed, you call it instinct. Do you think I or other women don't have thoughts like yours? They were and always will be. In all living things on earth under the sun, these instincts are the strongest. And if they were secondary, there would have been no life on earth long ago.

The question was asked for Rami's blog post “Notes on Women's Happiness”
Hello Rami!
Thank you for your wonderful articles, very interesting and informative. I have a question for you, maybe not quite correct, but interested.
To quote: “Some time ago she told me that all the men she consulted had very weak energy and were exhausted from regular masturbation - because in modern culture they are presented as an innocent activity”
If possible, could you expand on this topic a bit. How it depletes, why it is harmful, etc.
Thanks.
Denis
HELLO DENIS! THE FACT IS THAT THE MALE SEED IS A VERY SATURATED SUBSTANCE, FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WHICH THE ORGANISM TAKE A LOT OF ENERGY AND FORCES. ALSO, WITH THE LOSS OF SEMEN, A MAN LOSES “ODJAS”, A FINE, IMPORTANT SUBSTANCE, WHICH IS PRACTICALLY NOT RECOVERED. EXACTLY OJAS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMMUNITY, LIFE LIFE, STRENGTH OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, ETC.
DURING SEXUAL ACT, A MAN AND A WOMAN EXCHANGE YIN AND YANG ENERGIES (MALE AND FEMALE), A MAN INVESTS A SEED TO A WOMAN, WHICH BRINGS HER HEALTH AND ENERGY, HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE HORMONAL BACKGROUND. ALL THIS IS NECESSARY, FIRST OF ALL, FOR BEARING AND BIRTH OF HEALTHY CHILDREN.
A MAN, IN THE PROCESS OF SEXUAL ACT, RECEIVES FEMALE ENERGY, WHICH NEUTRALIZES HIS LOSS TO SOME EXTENT.
IT ALL WORKS IF PARTNERS LOVE EACH OTHER AND WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN. IF A MAN HAS WEAK ENERGY, LOW LEVEL OF VIBRATIONS, DISTURBED METABOLISM, POOR HEALTH, THEN HE, ON THE CONTRARY, CAN VERY WEAKEN THE WOMAN AT ALL LEVELS.
IF A MAN CARRIES OUT A SEX WITHOUT A WOMAN (MASTURBATING OR WITH A MAN), THEN HE LOSES A HUGE AMOUNT OF SUBTLE ENERGY, IN ADDITION TO PHYSICAL ENERGY. THIS ENERGY IS GENERALLY DRAWN FROM STRATEGIC RESERVES AND FROM THE FUTURE, THAT AFFECTS HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN LIFE, HEALTH AND ABILITY TO HAVE CHILDREN.
IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT WITH INCREASED PROMOTION OF THE USEFULNESS OF ACTIVE SEX, THE “SAFETY” OF MASTURBATION, THE INTELLECTUAL LEVEL, THE ABILITY OF CONCENTRATION, BIRTH, ETC.
A WOMAN DOES NOT NEED SO MUCH MALE SEED. IT IS POSSIBLE EVEN ONCE IN A FEW YEARS (IF SHE DOES NOT PLAN TO HAVE EVERY YEAR). IF SHE DOES NOT RECEIVE IT, THEN IT CAN BE HARMONIZED TO SOME EXTENT BY CARE INTO SOCIAL AND (OR) SPIRITUAL LIFE.
SOME SPIRITUAL EASTERN SCHOOLS RECOMMEND SEX ONLY FOR THE CONCEPTION OF CHILDREN, WHICH IN OUR CENTURY IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE WHEN LIVING IN CITIES. SOME ORIENTAL MEDICAL SCHOOLS RECOMMEND SPOUSES CERTAIN HERBS TO PREVENT CONCEPTION OR TO HAVE SEX ON CERTAIN DAYS OF THE WOMEN'S CYCLE WHEN CONCEPTION IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. MODERN PREGNANCY CHEMICAL PILLS ARE VERY HARMFUL FROM MANY POINTS OF VIEW, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME POSITIVE EFFECTS IN THE BEGINNING.
MANY SPIRITUAL SCHOOLS HAVE TEACHED TECHNIQUES WHICH ALLOWED A MAN TO NOT LOSE A SEED, BUT TO EXPERIENCE AN ORGASM WHICH IS MUCH LONGER AND DEEPER THAN USUAL. BY THE WAY, RARE MASTURBATION WAS ALLOWED THEN. BUT TO STUDY AND PRACTICALLY IMPLEMENT THESE TECHNIQUES, A HUMAN MUST HAVE A VERY HIGH GENERAL LEVEL OF ENERGY. THESE TECHNIQUES CAN HAVE VERY STRONG NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS.
SOME AYURVEDIC SCHOOLS RECOMMEND SEX ONCE OR TWO A MONTH FOR A MAN, JUST FOR THE LOSS OF SEMEN. BECAUSE IF A MAN COMMUNICATES WITH WOMEN, HAS SEXUAL FANTASIES, THEN HE PRODUCES SEED FAST. IF A MAN DOES NOT RAISE ENERGY TO THE UPPER ENERGY CENTERS, THEN THE UNUSED SEED MAY CAUSE HARM TO HIS PHYSICAL AND SUBTLE BODY. ALTHOUGH NATURE REGULATES IT, AS A RULE, THROUGH LOSS OF SEED IN SLEEP. IF A MAN LOSES A LOT OF SEMEN, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO EAT PROPERLY (IN SOME SEMINARS, PARTICULARLY ON SEX LIFE, WE DISCOVER THIS) AND DO MORE SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES. IN THE VEDIC TRADITION:
THIS IS ALL ABOUT MEN. WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INSTRUCTED TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE HUSBAND.
SEX VERY ENHANCES EGOISM, ATTACHMENT TO THIS WORLD, QUICKLY RELEASES A PERSON FROM GOOD KARMA (EVEN WITH A LOVING SPOUSE, IF THERE IS NO PURPOSE OF CONCERNING A CHILD), ETC.
I THINK THIS CLEARS SOMETHING TO YOU. OTHERWISE I WILL SIGN AND GET A NEW SEMINAR ON SEX OR ON “MALE HAPPINESS”.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND A FULL HAPPY LIFE IN WHICH YOUR DEPENDENCE ON SEX IS MINIMUM!
Ejaculation and its effect on a man's health and personality
1. The function of the prostate gland is to erupt semen, millions and millions of spermatozoa that carry the DNA code of a woman and a man. They determine the health of a man and his longevity, as well as his predisposition to disease. In Taoist medicine, ejaculation is called jing, "the essence of true life force." This means that the jing is the engine of sexual energy, shaping the matter of new life with the help of some encrypted message - the DNA code.
2. According to this view, ejaculation is a complex process. As the penis is stimulated, the prostate begins to fill with fluid. Having reached maximum fullness, it quickly makes several contractions until it returns to normal size.
3. As a result of these contractions, which the man feels like an orgasm, fluid is pushed out of the prostate gland through the urethra into the penis, and then erupted from the tip of the penis. Each time the prostate gland contracts and then relaxes, the prostate pushes the semen out of the seminal vesicles. A man practicing "immortal breathing" (performing the "deer", "crane" and "tortoise" qigong exercises) is able to feel up to 49 contractions. Orgasm is made up of such contractions, which is why prostate dysfunction negatively affects the quality of orgasm.
4. The male gonads are the prostate and testicles. The penis is not considered a gonad because it is not a gland and does not actually produce anything. This is just a kind of tube through which the secrets of the glands flow, an instrument that the gonads use for reproduction.
The testicles produce sperm and hormones; The prostate gland produces seminal fluid, which contains nutrients, hormones and vitality. The two fluids produced by the testicles and the prostate make up what we call the semen, the sperm carrier.
5. During ejaculation, a normal adult male loses about one tablespoon of semen. According to the latest scientific studies, this amount of seed contains the nutrients of 2 large steaks, 10 eggs, 8 oranges, 6 lemons and 5 bananas. The seed also contains protein, vitamins, minerals and amino acids, that is, almost everything that a man needs daily for life. In addition, a large amount of vital energy is contained in the seed, therefore, each ejection of the seed means a significant energy deficit. This explains the feeling of emptiness experienced by a man after ejaculation.
The loss of seed is often referred to colloquially as "gaining", although it would be more correct to call it "going away". Approximately 200-300 million live spermatozoa, hormones, nutrients, vitamins, strength, endurance, and even part of a man's personality and self-esteem "leave" and are lost literally in a matter of seconds. Ejaculation is a great sacrifice for a man, because as a result of this, his physical, mental and emotional faculties are depleted for a long time. This phenomenon can be compared to a burning candle, which was extinguished by pouring a bucket of water on it.
6. After ejaculation, all seven glands are empty, especially the gonads, which supply energy to the endocrine system. Taoist medicine comments on this state as follows:
“If you go this way and direct the sexual energy down, you will empty the seven glands. This means that you have entered the path of people, and all people die before their time (ejaculation - the loss of millions of live spermatozoa - shortening of life). A living lion is able to turn into a dead dog in the shortest period of time, and a person loses a particle of his youth. However, if you take a different path and direct your sexual energy upward through the seven glands, you will be able to achieve eternal and divine life (reverse ejaculation - prolonging erection and life).”
Based on personal observations, the ancient Taoist sages were able to draw the following conclusion.
“Whether at home or traveling in another part of the world, you may notice that there are many more older and yet still attractive women around than men. Women who do not experience a loss of sexual energy (with the exception of those who have had too many pregnancies) live almost 15 years longer than men.
For this reason, the ancient Taoist sages searched and found a way to allow men to experience an even more pleasant orgasm without eruption and loss of vital energy, but with the preservation and use of it.
General
This goal is designed to reinforce moral behavior, which is the basis for all the best qualities. Thanks to the sublimation of sexual energy, a creative and spiritual revelation of personality occurs, family life acquires deeper relationships and becomes a great source of energy for both partners.
The goal is open to those who have a similar desire. It is not an imposition of any religious beliefs, it is an experiment in its purest form, requiring attentiveness and awareness of one's personality.
“We've got a new guy named Cassius Clay. If you bet on him every time he fights, you will become a rich man because he will never lose a fight. I think his secret is abstinence, controlling sexual desires. He has it. Every guy who can control his passion can win a title. I believe in it.
(Olympic boxing coach, Harry Wiley. Quote from the book "Mohammad Ali, the Greatest")
Mike Tyson Legendary boxer
“I never suspected that conquering the hearts of many women takes away from you much more than it gives. But I often read that great fighters never had sex before a fight, and I was young and wanted to be the youngest world heavyweight champion, so I abstained from sex for about five years.
Dalai Lama Spiritual leader, Leader of Tibet
“Sexual pressure, sexual desire, in fact, I think, can only be satisfied for a short time, and often leads only to b about more complexities"
“It's natural for people, and sexual desire comes, ... but then you use the human mind to understand that such relationships (based on sexual desire) are always full of problems.
Lev Tolstoy Russian writer
“I have become what is called a fornicator. And to be a fornicator is a physical state similar to that of a morphine addict, a drunkard, a smoker. Just as a morphine addict, a drunkard, a smoker is no longer a normal person, so a person who has known several women for his own pleasure is no longer a normal, but forever spoiled person - a fornicator.
“I did not notice then that periods of anger arose in me quite regularly and evenly, corresponding to periods of what we called love. The period of love is the period of malice; an energetic period of love is a long period of anger, a weaker manifestation of love is a short period of anger. Then we did not understand that this love and anger were the same animal feeling, only from different ends.

Saigo Takamori One of the most influential samurai in Japanese history, known as the "Last True Samurai"
“Although Saigoµ was married twice, had five children, and associated with a geisha from Kyoto, in 1854 he prided himself on completely shunning the company of women. He viewed abstinence more as an empowerment rather than a limitation... In his youth, Saigoµ saw sex not as a pleasure or joy of intimacy, but as an obstacle to happiness and fidelity"

“People often ask me where I get my energy from. I think it comes from the same sources as my sex addiction at a young age. Look at the drive that people have when it comes to sex - dress appropriately, get a haircut and hang out at the club in the cold at three in the morning or wherever they go to find a girl. If you can channel that energy into something of value, work…”
Pythagoras Philosopher Mathematician
“According to Pythagoras (6th century BC), sex should be done in winter, not in summer. Pythagoras believed that for men's health in general, sex is harmful, since the loss of semen is dangerous, uncontrollable and exhausting physically and spiritually.
“Pythagoras himself founded a small community in which a premium was placed for study, vegetarianism, and sexual restraint or abstinence. Later philosophers believed that celibacy contributed to the development of detachment and balance, which the vocation of the philosopher requires ... "
Georg Hackenschmidt, 20th century strongman, wrestler and philosopher
"Moderation in sexual relations is very important. Sexual abstinence must be strictly observed in the early period of maturation and development. Whoever observes this recommendation will soon reap the benefits of the enormous benefits of chastity. Several years ago, a colleague of mine told me: "Nonsense, this is human nature". However, this "intelligent" man has only achieved a minor position as a strongman, and now in his thirties, he is actually degrading as an athlete.
Socrates Greek philosopher
“Socrates is the first to suggest abstinence from sexual pleasures. He describes his views on sex in the form of a conversation that illustrates and reinforces his previous brief notes on the dangers of sexuality... Xenophon (one of Socrates' interlocutors) takes the wrong step and discovers that although sex can be a pleasure, it also makes you a slave.
Radhanath Swami, a monk of the Vedic tradition
"Krishna teaches, 'Sense gratification has its beginning and end, and therefore wise people do not indulge in it. Sense enjoyment lasts only a few moments and then stops, leaving us with an even greater desire for this enjoyment than before! That is his nature!" Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita that lust is like fire, it is insatiable.
Sivananda Swami, 20th century saint
"The seed is the essence of all pranas, it is the sparkle in your eyes, it is your most valuable treasure. Remember this well. According to Ayurveda, eighty drops of blood are spent on the production of one drop of sperm. The seminal fluid is produced in the glands, which are directly connected with the blood. Also just as bees bring honey drop by drop into the honeycomb, so seminal fluid is taken drop by drop from the blood. The loss of the seed brings death, the preservation of the seed gives life. The seed is the basis of a man's vigor. It is his hidden treasure, it gives Brahma Tejas and strengthens the mind."
His Holiness Srila Prabhupada
The Manu Smriti says that lust cannot be quenched by any amount of sense pleasure, just as a fire cannot be extinguished by throwing wood on it. The center of all activities in the material world is sex, and therefore the material world is called maithunya-agara, the prison of sex life.
In prison, prisoners are shackled, and likewise, criminals who violate the laws of God are shackled with sex. The progress of material civilization, based on the desire for sense gratification, dooms the living being to further vegetate in the captivity of material life.
Therefore, lust is a symbol of ignorance, which keeps us in the material world. When we taste sense gratification, we experience some semblance of happiness, but in fact this imaginary feeling of happiness is the worst enemy of a living being.
Bhagavad Gita 3.39 comments
He judges adulterers the God(Heb. 13:4)
But if your right eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it away from you, for it is better for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell. And if your right hand offends you, cut it off and throw it away from you, for it is better for you that one of your members perish, and not your whole body be cast into hell (Matthew 5:29-30).
"Avoid any form of self-satisfaction. They weaken you and make you look like a sugar cane that has been squeezed out of all its juice. Don't waste semen for the sake of momentary pleasure. Quit this bad occupation. Open your eyes. Wake up. You do not suspect how destructive the effect of this practice is.
The energy that is lost in one sexual act is equivalent to the energy spent in 10 days of hard physical labor, or in three days of intensified mental labor. Don't waste yourself. Take care of this priceless energy! Then you will always be cheerful. When Virya is not used up, it transforms into Ojas Shakti or spiritual power and is stored inside the brain. Western doctors know little about this important point. Most of your illnesses come from excessive loss of semen. People who constantly spend their seed degrade physically, mentally and morally. The body and mind become lethargic and lethargy sets in. You feel weak. You will have to drag out a dreary existence, leading a similar lifestyle. Excessive sex life leads to huge energy losses. Young people do not realize the value of this vital fluid. They lose it by constantly copulating. Once this energy is lost, it cannot be returned. This is the most powerful energy in the world. One sexual act shakes the whole nervous system. You must cherish this priceless energy, even if you are a married person.
During sexual intercourse, a huge amount of energy is consumed. Poor memory, premature aging, impotence, vision problems, neurological diseases - all this is a consequence of the immoderate loss of vital fluid. "
"When sexual energy is transformed into Ojas shakti or spiritual energy, in Western psychology this is called sublimation. Sublimation is a positive dynamic process, not containment and suppression. It involves the control, accumulation and direction of sexual energy to higher centers, where it is transformed into Ojas Shakti.Material energy is transformed into spiritual energy, just as the burning of material objects creates heat, light and electricity.Like a chemical substance that changes its state when it evaporates, so sexual energy is purified by the method of spiritual sadhana.
