I have a question - does anyone's symptoms actually become worse as the days progress, until the day they finally disappear?

PRZ, thank you very much for posting this. It's a fascinating idea and we can all learn from this even though we might pursue different avenues.

Hey

I am really glad I can share this. I can sense that most of you are still too sceptical to even try this.

Quote from: Z_one
I personally don't believe that dry orgasms are healthy at all! It's unnatural and might lead to serious undermined biological problems on the long run,,.,,,perhaps the only benefit for those who succeed is to avoid POIS ! Again that's purely my opinion....

Hello Z_one
Can you tell me why do you think so? Because I had the same belief and discovered that it was only social and religious conditioning, that made me believe anything besides ejaculation is UNNATURAL. It was just a prejudice.

Anyway, I've never felt more healthy in my life and that's why I am quite confident it doesn't do any harm, though I can't guarantee this (didn't find any research).

Demografx : Thanks again for emails to scientists. I think you are right : brain scan is the only solution if Pois is caused by neurotransmitters. But can this current technology show deficiency/excess in different areas ? And what about receptors ?


B_Jim, you're welcome. You're absolutely right, it is only one area. But my frustration is that we need to start somewhere...anywhere. Do you have a better suggestion? Thanks again!

Demo,

Was your T low before using T-pacthes? And has it increased your sexual urges since using them?

Are you aware of the possible long term side effects of using T-pacthes?

    Acne; bitter or strange taste in mouth; change in sex drive; fatigue; gum or mouth irritation; gum pain; gum tenderness or swelling; hair loss; headache.

SEVERE side effects may occur when using Testosterone Patch:

    Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); breast growth or pain; change in the size or shape of the testicles; dark urine or light-colored bowel movements; depression or mood changes; dizziness; gingivitis; interrupted breathing while sleeping; loss of appetite; nausea; painful or prolonged erection; stomach pain; swelling of the ankles or legs; urination problems; weight gain; yellowing of the skin or eyes.


My answer is "yes" to all 3 questions. I have three questions for you: (1) What is your source for the above info? and (2) what percentage of users at what dose? and (3) how many patients were in this study group?

After one year with T-patches, me and my POIS are very happy. [;D] Working with one of the top endo's in the country at a world class multi-billion dollar university research facility.

But thanks for your concerns!

1) Because semen is suppose to go out and you're holding it back,,,,,
2) By holding back semen you're inducing antagonist forces which will damage your prostate on the long run,,,,
3) Forcing semen backwards puts strain on your body rather than relieving tension and therefore might be dangerous for people with heart diseases and  high blood pressure....

As you can see there is nothing religious nor social in the above and it's purely biological!.....which is why I think it is Unnatural! As to you feeling healthy that might simply be due to the fact that you are with this technique avoiding POIS symptoms or due to an anecdotal evidence.......again that's purely my opinion and at the end of the day... you're certainly free to practice what you believe might be good for you !

When you say your T was low...do you mean close to lower normal range or below lower normal range?

Here's the link.....www.drugs.com/sfx/testosterone-side-effects.html     check it out....

As to your two other questions....I have no idea but you can always try contacting the authors of the website.....

Anyway...it looks that you're very content and confident in what you're doing....so wishing you continuing success!

My rather worthless opinion and disorganized thoughts about this... :-)

1. This technique has been used literally for hundreds (thousands?) of years. This is not a new thing. It has been well developed in the East since at least 1,500 years.
2. Concerns for the prostate health is well understood and special "prostate exercises" are normally prescribed to make sure it remains healthy. If the prostate is not healthy to begin with the Taoist teacher will usually request that you clear up the problem before attempting to reach orgasm without ejaculating.
3. POIS success - I don't think it has much to do much with ejaculating per se - rather it has to do with the fact that practicing this type of sex does not bring a "down" or a "crash" afterward (so no lingering POIS). According to a Canadian sex therapist one man out of 600 does not have that "crash" after ejaculating. (I would like to see their brain scan!)
4, The lack of tension released is also recognized in the old texts and it is part of the teaching to make sure this abundant energy is used up with focused attention (martial arts, meditation, but also sports in general) to make sure the energy does not become anger or violence. (According to one teacher I had in Oriental medicine it was also part of the warrior training to build that intense energy - but that was just one of his stories, I have never read anything to confirm this)  
5. Using a book for experimenting and finding out if it is helpful or not is great. But for the long run it would be more cautious to find a teacher or a guide. Yes I believe it is possible to damage yourself if not done correctly . Just like many other things including yoga, tai chi, or even meditation - all activities known to be very safe.

For me it seems that light exercises (stretching, Egoscue training, yoga, walking, lifting light weights, calisthenics...) are very helpful and get me out of the foggy state (at least to the extent I can work OK) but strenuous or aerobic exercises (running, bicycling, heavy workouts...) make me feel better immediately only to crash further down soon afterward. So I avoid strenuous exercises in POIS state. It feels good when I am out of POIS though.

I agree strenuous exercise makes my symptoms worse as well.,,,,,man don't tell me you're comparing "Dry orgsam" to "Yoga"!!! Are you serious??

Hey, thanks for answer

1)How do you know it is suppose to go out every time if we don't have a purpose to impregnate?
2)Any research to prove this?
3)This is crucial. This is why most people think it's unhealthy. THERE'S NO STRAIN ON MY BODY. I wrote that IT IS RELIEVING TENSION. It's not the same as stopping just before orgasm like many still think. I thought I made this clear. YOU REACH ORGASM! (Did you really read my previous posts?)

I didn't want to attack your opinion. Just wanted to make you think that maybe you've been taught about this your whole life by people who didn't even know about any other option.

Knowledge of sex is still really poor. Fact that it's the topic we shouldn't talk about has its reflection in science. Friends, erotic movies and porn - this is where most of our beliefs about sex come from. No wonder most people never heard about orgasming without ejaculation and think it's something unnatural (after years of programming their bodies that "semen has to go out").

I can see your belief is strong, so I won't try to convince you anymore.

Anyway, here's something I found:
1) newbielink:http://www.hps-online.com/tsy4.htm [nonactive]  - Article about losing your semen and its effects on health. It has spiritual character but still very interesting ideas. I especially liked the part about comparing ejaculation to blood donation.

2) newbielink:http://www.vasectomy-information.com/moreinfo/reabsorb.htm [nonactive]  - This is for those who don't believe in SPERM BEING REABSORBED by the body. The same thing happens when you have vasectomy and it doesn't do any long term harm. Actually, even if you ejaculate some sperm still stays inside and being reabsorbed.

I'm just curious. Is anyone here inspired enough by my posts and guide to start the practice? (Besides one person who wrote me private message)

Apparently it is possible to reset the immune system by two extreme procedures....the first is bone marrow transplantation and the second is plasmapheresis.....though both are not without complications (sometimes life threatening),,,,they have been last resorts in treating all kinds of autoimmune diseases when the patient had enough living with drugs....i'll do some additional research on  alternatives to possibly reset the immune system,,

Thank you very much, Z_one.

It was curious to see that you didn't include the opening statement from drugs.com about "side effects":

"All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects."

"Many" is often 99%. And we don't know if the other 1% is causative or associated.

One person in 10 years could report something! And we don't really know if the T caused it.

Also, "problem" patients are usually identified and taken off the drug immediately.

Thanks again for your concerns, though.

Z_one, since you are putting forth these warnings IN BOLD LETTERS AND UNDERLINED,

Quote from: Z_one on 29/11/2009 19:46:49

SEVERE side effects may occur when using Testosterone Patch:


I would suggest that it's your responsibility - not ours - to check these very, very basic facts before you publish "dire warnings" about testosterone patches. A treatment that could save lives. As it did mine.

Please consider this next time posting. Thanks.
