Semen retention science

But this book is not a verdict. It is a rescue manual.

The fear you may have felt reading this is your ally. It is the instinct of self-preservation. It’s telling you it’s time to stop. It’s time to take back control.

The next part of the book will show you HOW TO DO IT.

(This chapter is for reference only).

Chapter 4: The Morning Algorithm of Power. First Steps to Reboot

It all begins here and now. Not on Monday, not on New Year’s, but with your next morning. This morning ritual is not just a set of actions. It is your daily declaration of war on your own weakness. Every movement is conscious, every breath is taken with intent.

Before we move on to the exercises, remember the golden rule: you cannot transform what isn’t there. Your abstinence from the useless waste of seed is not a punishment or a deprivation. It is the conscious accumulation of raw material for a great work. By beginning to abstain today, you create within yourself a potential, a “pressure” that seeks an outlet.

This is where our practices come in. They are the transformation valve. When raw sexual energy (Yar) accumulates, it demands an outlet. If you do not give it a conscious direction, it will find its own path – through irritability, tension, or nocturnal emissions. But when you perform the exercises, you redirect this powerful current from the sexual centers upward, along the spine, nourishing the brain and spirit. This transforms the animalistic Yar into an iron Will, and then into a clear Spirit.

A virtuous cycle of power is created:

– Retention gives you the energy for practice.

– Practice transforms the energy, making retention easier and giving you tangible results (strength, clarity, calm).

– These results motivate you to continue.

Foundation: Evening Preparation

You cannot charge a battery if it’s still connected to devices. Your sleep is charging time.

– Go to bed before 10 PM. From the perspective of biorhythms, sleep before midnight is the most valuable for restoring the nervous system and producing hormones. Before 11 PM, psychic energy is restored; after, physical energy.

– Remove all gadgets by 8 PM. The blue light from screens suppresses melatonin production – the sleep hormone. A lack of it leads to shallow sleep and inadequate restoration of Qi/Ojas. The evening is for silence, reading, planning, and connecting with loved ones.

– Wake up to the morning erection. This is your body’s oldest and most accurate alarm clock. It’s called “morning wood” and is caused by a peak release of testosterone and the energizing of the sexual system. It’s a signal: “Battery is 100% charged, the day can begin.”

– If there is no erection – this is a red flag. Your body is reporting it has no resources even for basic physiological processes. This means you are either overworked, ill, or in a state of deep depletion. This is a direct instruction to focus on rest and practice.

Step 1. Upon Waking: First Stop, The Bathroom. Morning Urination: Awakening the “Inner Warrior”

How to perform:

– Approach the toilet and stand on your toes. Your whole body should have a slight tension.

– Begin urinating. After 2—3 seconds, use your pelvic muscles to completely clamp the urethra and stop the stream. Hold for 2—3 seconds.

– Gently press on your lower abdomen, the bladder area. Relax the muscles and continue. Repeat as many times as you can until the bladder is empty.

– At the end, when urine no longer flows, lean forward slightly and gently press your hand on your lower abdomen (above the pubic bone) to squeeze out the remainder.

Benefits from ancient perspectives:

– Taoism: This practice is known as the “Golden Rooster.” It directly strengthens the perineal muscles, where the vital point Huiyin – the “gathering of Yin” – is located. Control over this point prevents the leakage of Jing Energy, strengthens the “lower dantian/core,” and helps direct energy upward.

– Slavic Practices: It was believed that at the moment of stopping the flow, a man “holds the strength of his Lineage inside,” training his will and locking the “gates” through which his vital fire leaks.

Benefits from modern neurobiology:

– You are training the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. This is the muscular hammock that holds your genital organs. Its tone directly affects erection strength, ejaculation control, and prostate health.

– The interruption is a kinesthetic signal to your brain. You are literally telling your nervous system: “I’m in charge here. I control even the reflexes.” This is powerful training for motor control and will. It is a simple simulation of retaining seed in the future.

– The final massage helps completely empty the bladder, reducing the risk of infections and prostatitis.

– Perform this practice every morning. The more often you do it throughout the day, the better.

Step 2. Water Procedures: Shock Reboot of the System

How to perform:

– Cold Rub-Down: Wet a towel in cold water and quickly rub your entire body from neck to heels. 30—60 seconds is enough.

– Cold Pour/Shower: If ready, pour a bucket of cold water over yourself or finish your shower with 30—60 seconds of cold water.

– IMPORTANT: We are excluding “ice dipping” (prolonged immersion). Our goal is not to stress the body, but to invigorate it.

Benefits from ancient perspectives:

– Slavic Path: Cold water doesn’t just wash away dirt, it awakens “Zhiva” (vital force). It washes away energetic “slags” remaining after sleep and tempers the spirit.

– Taoism: Brief cold stress “ignites” the circulation of Qi, which may have stagnated during sleep, and “condenses” the protective Wei Qi energy.

Benefits from modern neurobiology:

– Cold triggers a release of norepinephrine and dopamine. This gives you an instant charge of vigor, mental clarity, and improved mood for hours.

– Brown adipose tissue is activated, which burns calories to produce heat.

– Powerful hardening and strengthening of the immune system occurs.

Step 3. Warm Water: Igniting the Digestive Fire

How to perform:

– Heat water to about 104°F (pleasantly warm, but not scalding).

– Drink 1—2 glasses.

– Key point: Drink slowly. Take a small sip, hold it in your mouth as if “chewing” it, and only then swallow slowly.

Benefits from ancient perspectives:

– Ayurveda/Tantra: Digestion is weak in the morning. Warm water is the only thing that gently kindles Agni (digestive fire) without extinguishing it, like cold water or juice would.

– Taoism: Warm water moistens the intestines and prepares them for work, promoting the smooth movement of Qi in the body.

Benefits from modern neurobiology:

– Warm water on an empty stomach helps hydrate the body after overnight dehydration, prepares the GI tract for breakfast, and gently stimulates intestinal peristalsis.

– “Chewing” the water activates the salivary glands. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase, which begins preparing for food digestion. This signals the brain: “System is starting up.”

Step 4. Fresh Air: Connecting to the Source of Prana/Zhiva/Qi

How to perform:

– Open a window or go out to a balcony/street. The air should be fresh, but not icy. You should not be shivering from cold.

– Perform the entire subsequent breathing practice in this stream of fresh air. It is essential to air out the room after the night.

Benefits:

– Ancient view: You are inhaling Prana or Zhiva – pure life force from space.

– Modern view: CO2 accumulates in the room during sleep. Fresh air with high oxygen content is necessary for efficient cellular metabolism and brain function. Oxygen is a key element for producing energy (ATP) in the mitochondria.

Step 5. The Victor’s Breath: Neuro-Biohacking Your Energy

How to perform (after airing out):

– Perform lying down, you can be under a blanket, with an open window or outside if warm.

– Cycle 1 (Warm-up): Take 30 calm, deep breaths in and out through your nose.

– After the 30th inhale, exhale completely and hold your breath for 15 seconds. Do not strain.

– After the hold, take a slow, deep inhale and hold your breath for 30 seconds.

– Exhale calmly. This is the first cycle.

– Subsequent cycles (3—5 total): Repeat the pattern, but in subsequent cycles, make the hold after exhale not 15 seconds, but AS LONG AS YOU CAN without excessive discomfort. The hold after inhale remains around 30 seconds or also increases according to your ability. If you feel a “current” or tingling in your body, you’re on the right path.

Benefits from ancient perspectives:

– Tantra (Pranayama): This is a modified technique reminiscent of Kapalabhati (30 breaths) and Sahita Kumbhaka (holds). It ignites the inner fire, cleanses the energy channels (nadis), and leads to the awakening of Kundalini.

– Taoism: Breath holds (“locking”) accumulate Qi in the dantian and direct it along the Microcosmic Orbit.

Benefits from modern neurobiology:

– 30 active breaths: Ventilate the lungs, saturate the blood with oxygen, slightly raise blood pressure, and tone the sympathetic nervous system.

– Hold after exhale (especially long): This is moderate hypoxia, a powerful stimulus for:

– Production of erythropoietin (EPO) – a hormone that increases red blood cell production.

– Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation after stress).

– Stimulation of the vagus nerve, improving the function of all internal organs.

– Hold after inhale: Trains CO2 tolerance, improving the efficiency of oxygen use by tissues. The sharp influx of oxygen after the hold causes an explosive activation of metabolism and a surge of vigor.

Summary: This entire morning algorithm will take you 15—20 minutes. But you will feel its effect immediately: clean energy, a clear head, and an iron-clad confidence that your day has begun the way a strong man’s day should. After this first stage, move on to the exercises.

Chapter 5: Morning Alchemy. From Raw Power to Will and Spirit

Morning Ritual: The Gymnastics of Transformation

Stage 1: Solar Breathing – Charging from the Sun and Earth

– Ideal Conditions: Outdoors, under the sun’s rays, barefoot on the earth (grass, soil, sand). Important: You must be warm; do not allow yourself to get chilled. Cold drains your Qi/Vital Force, nullifying the work. If you can’t go outside, do it indoors by a window, or simply do it where you can, visualizing the sun shining.

– Technique:

– Stand facing the sun, eyes closed.

– Slow Inhale (7 seconds): Gently raise your arms out to the sides and up to the sky, palms up. Visualize a golden, solar, vivifying light pouring into you through your closed eyelids, skin, the crown of your head, and your palms. Simultaneously, imagine a warm, amber stream of the Earth’s force rising up through the soles of your feet.

– Breath Hold (7 seconds): The two energies – Celestial and Earthly – meet and blend in your heart, filling your entire body with a radiant, shimmering energy. You are a conductor between Heaven and Earth.

– Slow Exhale with the sound “HA!”: Sharply but not harshly, lower your arms down, thrusting your palms toward the earth. On the exhale, with your mouth open, make a guttural “HA!” sound. Visualize black smoke – all fatigue, sickness, negative thoughts, and spent energy – leaving through your mouth and feet, going deep into the earth.

– Number of Repetitions: 3, 6, or 9 times.

– What’s the Benefit?

– Ancient View: You directly connect to the sources of Power – Yang (Sun) and Yin (Earth). You fill the dantian (the lower cauldron/core) and cleanse the energy channels.

– Neurobiology: Deep visualization and synchronized breathing activate the prefrontal cortex and parasympathetic system, reducing stress. The “HA!” sound on the exhale stimulates the diaphragm, releasing internal blocks and muscular tension.

Stage 2: Slavic “Zhgonka” (Spinal Twist) – Igniting the Inner Fire

– Technique: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Arms hang relaxed along the body. Begin twisting your torso to the right and left, allowing your arms to swing freely and gently “whip” against your body. The movement initiates from the hips; the spine twists like a spiral. Breathe freely.

– Duration: From 1 minute to 40. Trust your intuition. Your body will tell you when it’s enough.

– What’s the Benefit?

– Ancient View: “Zhgonka” is a powerful way to “shake up” energy that has stagnated overnight, to kindle “inner heat,” and to prepare the body for subtler practices.

– Neurobiology: Twisting movements improve lymph flow and blood circulation, especially in the pelvic area and spine. They massage the internal organs, stimulating digestion and adrenal function.

Stage 3: Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) – Synchronizing Your Entire Being

– What to do: Perform several rounds (from 1 to 12) of the Sun Salutation sequence from Hatha Yoga. I do one round. But I hold each asana from 5 to 44 seconds, depending on my mood – it’s enough for me.

– Step-by-Step Execution. (The sequence is very simple to learn) Important: Movements are smooth, without jerks. Abdominal breathing is smooth – this is the key element.

– Prayer Pose: Stand straight, join palms at your chest. Exhale. Focus, feel your intention.

– Raised Arms Pose: Inhale, raise arms out to the sides and up, arch back slightly. Reach with your whole body, crown toward the sky.

– Forward Fold: Exhale, fold forward with a straight back. Place palms or fingertips on the floor beside your feet. Knees can be slightly bent.

– Equestrian Pose: Inhale, step your right foot back, lowering the knee to the floor. Left foot is between your palms. Lift your head, back straight, gaze upward.

– Mountain Pose (Plank/Downward Dog): Exhale, step your left foot back, lift hips up. Body forms a triangle. Heels reach toward the floor.

– Eight-Limbed Salutation: Hold breath after exhale. Lower down into a modified push-up position, supporting on hands, knees, chest, and chin touching the floor. Hips remain slightly lifted.

– Cobra Pose: Inhale, glide forward, lift your chest, arch back, focus on the spine. Try not to lift your abdomen off the floor. Arms slightly bent, pelvis and legs relaxed on the floor.

– Mountain Pose (Downward Dog): Exhale, return to pose 5, lifting hips again.

– Equestrian Pose: Inhale, step your right foot forward between your palms. Left knee is lowered. Gaze upward (same as pose 4, but with the opposite leg).

– Forward Fold: Exhale, bring your left foot next to your right, returning to pose 3.

– Raised Arms Pose: Inhale, rise up with a straight back, returning to pose 2.

– Prayer Pose: Exhale, straighten up, return to pose 1.

– If this sequence is difficult at the start – no problem. Perform any stretching exercises you like: forward bends, backbends, side stretches, twists, lunges.

– What’s the Benefit for Retention Practice?

– Ancient View: This is a ritual of worship to the Sun – the source of life. Each movement is an asana that opens energy channels (nadis) and directs energy flows in the right direction.

– Neurobiology: Dynamic stretching awakens the whole body, increases spinal flexibility (spinal health = nervous system health), and improves cerebral circulation and coordination.

Outcome of this part: You haven’t just done morning exercises. You’ve conducted a full session of energetic hygiene and alchemy. You have cleansed yourself, filled yourself with the power of Heaven and Earth, ignited your inner fire, and harmonized the energy flows in your body. Now you are ready for the new day not as a consumer, but as a creator.

Chapter 6: Awakening the Body. Massage of Channels and Glands

Before moving forward, remember the ironclad principle: sexual energy is not an imaginary substance, but a real physiological force. It circulates through your nerves, blood vessels, hormonal and lymphatic pathways. If the body is tense, stiff, if the organs are sluggish – the channels for its flow are blocked. Imagine a garden hose twisted in several places. No matter how much water you pour, the pressure will be weak.

Our goal is to remove all clamps and “kinks,” to make the body soft, fluid, and receptive. This massage is not just a warm-up. It is the clearing of your body’s energetic plumbing, so the powerful current of your raw power can rise upward without obstruction, transforming.

Stage 1: Activating the Control Center – Head and Neck

– 1. Scalp and Head Axis Massage:

– How to do it: Using your fingertips, vigorously but not roughly, massage your entire scalp. Move from the forehead to the back of the head, from the crown toward the ears. Then run your fingers along the head’s “axis” – from the point between the eyebrows, over the crown, and down the back of the neck.

– Benefit (Ancient View): Releases the block from the Baihui point (“Hundred Meetings”) at the crown, where transformed energy should gather. Opens the channels leading to the brain.

– Benefit (Modern View): Sharply improves cerebral blood circulation. Relieves headaches, enhances neuron nutrition, improves cognitive function and memory. Stroke prevention.

– 2. Massage Behind the Ears and the Ears:

– How to do it: Using two fingers (index and middle), rub the area behind your ear lobes intensely. Then rub the ear lobes themselves thoroughly until you feel warmth.

– Benefit (Ancient View): The area behind the ears is a projection of the kidney channel. Stimulating the ears, which contain hundreds of biologically active points, revitalizes the entire body.

– Benefit (Modern View): Stimulation of the temporomandibular area relieves stress-related tension. Ear massage reflexively improves the function of all organs, as the ears are an “inverted embryo” map of the whole body.

Stage 2: Activating the Endocrine System – Neck and Chest

– 3. Larynx (Thyroid) Massage:

– How to do it: With light circular motions of your fingers, massage the front of your neck (the Adam’s apple and surrounding area). Gently take the Adam’s apple between your fingers and move it in circles—12 clockwise, 12 counterclockwise.

– Benefit (Ancient View): Activates the throat chakra (Vishuddha), responsible for will and self-expression.

– Benefit (Modern View): Direct stimulation of the thyroid gland, the “conductor” of metabolism. Normalizes the production of hormones regulating energy exchange, weight, and body temperature.

– 4. Tapping the Sternum (Thymus Gland):

– How to do it: Make soft fists and use the knuckles to deliver light, rhythmic taps to the center of your chest (the sternum).

– Benefit (Ancient View): The heart area (Anahata chakra) fills with energy, removing blocks.

– Benefit (Modern View): The thymus gland is located behind the sternum – the master organ of immunity. It atrophies with age. Daily stimulation “wakes it up,” enhancing the production of T-lymphocytes, the soldiers of your immune system. This is direct protection against illness and aging.

Stage 3: Activating the Energy Reservoirs – Torso

– 5. Warming and Tapping the Kidneys:

– How to do it: Rub your palms together until hot, place them on your lower back (under the bottom ribs). Hold for 10 seconds, transferring the heat. Then lightly tap this area with your fists.

– Benefit (Ancient View): The kidneys store the primal Jing, your sexual energy. Strengthening them is the absolute foundation.

– Benefit (Modern View): Improves blood flow to the kidneys and adrenal glands. The adrenals produce adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol – stress and adaptation hormones. Their health is your stress resilience.

– 6. Liver and Spleen Massage:

– How to do it: Use your fingers to knead the area under your right rib cage (liver, gallbladder). There may be tenderness here, which fades over time with daily practice. Then move to the area under your left rib cage (spleen, pancreas).

– Benefit: The liver is the body’s main chemical plant; blood purification and hormonal balance depend on its health. The gallbladder drains stagnant bile. The spleen is a key organ for blood formation and immunity. Stimulating them tunes up the entire system.

Stage 4: Focus on the Source – Pelvic Organs

– 7. Pubic Bone Massage:

– How to do it: Use circular motions of your fingers to massage the area of the pubic bone. 40 circles clockwise, 40 circles counterclockwise.

– Benefit: Reflexive stimulation of the prostate and bladder, improved circulation in the pelvis. Prevention of prostatitis and congestion.

– 8. Testicle Massage (Deer Exercise):

– How to do it:

– Circular Rubbing: Place one palm over the other and cup the testicles. Apply light pressure and make 108 circular motions (54 clockwise, 54 counterclockwise).

– Kneading: Gently knead the testicles between your fingers until you feel a slight tenderness.

– Tapping: Lightly tap the testicles with your fingertips.

– Benefit (Ancient View): Direct accumulation and “stirring” of Jing energy.

– Benefit (Modern View): Increases blood flow, improves spermatogenesis, naturally stimulates testosterone production.

– 9. Penile Massage:

– How to do it: For about 10 minutes, knead, rub, and roll the penis between your palms. The goal is not erection, but a powerful influx of blood and energy.

– Benefit: Improves erectile function, tissue elasticity, relieves micro-spasms.

Stage 5: Key Techniques for Locking and Directing Energy

– 10. Exercise “Tongue-Penis” (MUST DO):

– How to do it: Take the glans of the penis and gently pull it downward. Simultaneously, stretch your tongue out and down toward your chin as far as possible. Then pull the penis and tongue together to the right, left, and up. Minimum 5 cycles, increasing over time.

– Benefit (Ancient View): Creates an energetic loop connecting the beginning and end of the main energy channels (Governing and Conception Vessels). Teaches the body to direct energy upward, not outward.
