Semen retention is an ancient practice that focuses on conserving sexual energy, a concept rooted in Taoism which dates back thousands of years. Men possess three types of energy—Shen, Qi, and Jing—where Jing represents primordial life force akin to a vital battery. It is suggested that men have a finite supply of Jing corresponding to approximately 5,000 to 6,000 ejaculations; once depleted, it impacts overall vitality and energy levels. Practitioners aim to separate orgasm from ejaculation to harness this energy for personal and creative development, ultimately fostering a more fulfilling sexual experience.
