Abstinence from ejaculation?

I have been without ejaculation for about a week, by choice. I am confronted with a lack of documentation on the internet about this practice. I can find things on abstinence but not including "not even masturbating". Or I can find things on "not having sex before mariage" but nothing on "never ejaculating". I have also been wondering, since mosst animals don't ajaculate, if it would be medicaly ok to enpregnate your spouse with pre-*** fluid. I also want to know if it's just a myth that we have to *** once in a while to avoid medical problems such as "blue-balls" or "drying of the prostate". The last thing is I am wondering if the reason for more frequent erections is mental dillema or bodily functions. Thanks in advance

First, let’s clear up some myths. It’s absolutely not true that most animals don’t ejaculate. All male mammals and most other animals do. Ejaculation releases sperm, which is essential to reproduction. Cowper’s gland secretion (pre-***) can also contain millions of sperm, so it’s possible to become a parent even if you refrain from ejaculating.

I’ve never heard of “prostate drying,” so can’t comment on that. If you want information about your prostate, I suggest you post in the Urology Expert Forum.

Not sure about your meaning regarding more frequent erections being related to a “mental dilemma” or “bodily functions.”

I’m going to take a guess here. It sounds like you’re in a relationship; and for some reason, you don’t want to be sexual with your partner. You mention boredom. I wonder why.

Perhaps you feel the need to withdraw sexually, both from yourself and your partner. I wonder if you’ve discussed this with your partner. If you have, and it’s OK, then what’s the problem? At some point in their lives, some people find sex problematic and need to take a break. If it feels right for you and your partner, then that’s what you need to do. Dr. J

    Dude, I do the same thing for power, and energy reasons, the practice is esoteric and should be kept to ones self. I felt the same way as you, bragging about how amazing it is to be virtuous. Who cares if modern science has any interest in it. It is probably all for the better...If you find something thats is your magic, than keep your spells to your self...Cheers...And the ladies will love you for it...

oh and by the way, I'm on 2 weeks and loving it. one of my questions was are you supposed to have more erections if you don't masturbate, for you own personnal knowledge, I will volounteer as a ginny pig.

here's my conclusion, the frequency of your erections is directly proportionnate to the degree of perversion of the thoughts you have when you are bored. When I'm bored, I think of a way to help someone, I actually have less erections now than when I used to masturbate (the only ones I get are sometimes in the morning).

by the way, man thinks about sex every X seconds because social conventions made them into sort of speak perverts (we fantasize way too much, and as a sex specialist, you are probably aware of the issue with fantasies). But I can tell that it's possible to gain knowledge and experience that will protect you from you ego, and make those perverted thoughts go away. so I have answered my own question: abstinence and chastity do not increase the number of sex fantasies that go on in your head, so daytime erections are the fruit of mental fantasies and not physical needs.

It's funny how I still have no response... I thought everything was studied these days...
But big news everyone, there are still taboos... I beleive the 2 biggest ones are reasearch on chastity and reasearch on boredom. Funny thing is that they are both inter-related in the effort to harness "sexual energy" or "boredom" in order to engage in more altruistic activities...

But hey, altruistic philosophies go against the entire economic model of the 21st century, so don't ask yourself why even doctors can't help... no university wants to sponsor talks, seminars or research on those subjects... too bad
