For many men, to retain semen is not the norm. Most men try to lose as much as they possibly can, but for the Chinese martial artist, semen retention is a part of the life-force, or energy that's needed for good health, stamina, strength and longevity. Having said that, we Chinese martial artists love having sex, it's just very important to retain the semen. When you use it, you lose it. Have you noticed that women live longer than men? That's because they don't orgasm as much as men, therefore, not losing their life-force.

In times gone by, the more well-to-do Chinese had many concubines. These were women that the man of the house would engage in sexual pleasure with. It was thought that he had so many women just for pleasure, and because he was rich, he could afford so many woman. It was thought, that he had so many women so he could "lay his seed" in them. Actually, he was bedding them to make them reach climax, this way he could steal their energy. How could these men sleep with so many women and not reach orgasm themselves? How were they able to keep their semen, and steal their lovers life-force? They practiced what is called semen retention exercises.

It's a common misconception that all Chinese people know martial arts. In the old days, martial arts were only taught to the rich, military, and to the Imperial Guards. Internal, or "closed door" martial arts were only taught to the high ranking officers and the most elite of Chinese society. They were the privileged, they were the only people "good" enough to receive this type of training. Semen retention exercises were only taught to those in this "closed door" setting.

Semen retention exercises are very simple to do, and take very little time. The exercises are done in the evening when you're going to bed. You will also practice all day whenever you have to urinate. Then there are the exercises that you have to practice while you are making love. In the beginning you will start notice that you can last longer with your lover, as you continue with the exercises, you will have control over your orgasm, and ejaculate when you want to. Early in the practice of semen retention, you will last 15 to 25 minutes, as you progress, you will find yourself lasting 45 minutes to an hour! Keep doing the exercises and when you reach climax, you will feel the orgasm, but you will not ejaculate.

Some simple exercises to begin practicing would be to stop the flow of urination. When urinating, constrict your sphincter by squeezing your butt cheeks together. This technique is called the "pelvic lock". Do this exercise daily, also put the pelvic lock into place several times during urination. Another simple exercise to do is performed while you are making love. When you start to feel like the orgasm is coming on (don't wait too long) put the pelvic lock on, then start rubbing the tip of your penis up and down her vaginal opening, thus stimulating her, while you get control of your orgasm.

What happens when you are lasting longer with her in bed, and bringing her to climax, making her orgasm, your penis will act like a straw, sucking the energy out of her, and depositing her strength and energy into your "life-force account". Listen, haven't you noticed after having sex and you ejaculate, you're ready to go to sleep. If she didn't orgasm, she's ready to go watch television. You got her excited, hot, ready to go, heated up, then gave her your energy, your strength, your life-force. Keep doing this and she will live longer, be healthier, but definitely not happier.
