Quote:That's because you're not following the logic. If you're neither a fighter nor a professional athlete, then feeling "depleted" after sex shouldn't matter.Are you saying that if someone doesn't like how he feels after sex (feeling "depleted") that's irrelevant if he's not a fighter nor a professional athlete ?
Quote:which is completely wrong in the tantric tradition where sex is seen as medicineWhich sort of tantric tradition? I've never ever read about any tantric practitioner seeing orgasm as something beneficial. Even in couple, with P in V it's commonly admitted that it is still NOT the perfect way of having sex. Maithuna being one of the only "accepted" sexual practices which consist of making love and stopping just before orgasm. Hell, many experts claim that abstinence holds its true meaning only when done with a partner.
That's totally contradictory to what you're saying. Mind sharing which tradition it is and your source ?
What I am saying can be found in any respectable book on sexual yoga on a bookstore and even in ancien books like " Guhya Samaja Tantra".
Tantra and yoga sex aside, I don't see what's wrong with a man choosing not to release because he's lived, and observed, from his personal experience that it isn't beneficial for him at all.
I 100% agree with Fluffy about personal experience being only what's relevant. All these traditions, beliefs and facts from scientists or tantra gurus just serve as references. At the end of the day it boils down to how one personally live that matter.
