My first post Version 2

All that I am writing here is based on my experience with Chinese martial art, Yoga, Iron Crotch Qigong and other type of exercises over the past 20 years. Anyone suffering from sexual dysfunction of any kind; premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, lack of sexual appetite, low sexual interest - especially in women, lack of fulfillment of desire in bachelors, widows and spinsters, should consider practicing Yoga and sexual Qigong. There are many emotional and psychological problems that arise due to excessive masturbation and onanism, which can also be cured using Yoga and Qigong. In extreme cases we may need help from Ayurveda and Homeopathy. The exercises and techniques can also help low sperm count, women not being able to have children due to medical issues or otherwise.  All techniques described here will only benefit you to some degree. We need to understand that all ancient exercises, martial art, yoga, qigong etc. aimed at one thing better sexual health which is the key to general health. The first step to nirvana starts with first having perfect health, which in turn depends on sexual health.

Onanism and Masturbation

Let me quickly touch upon the two curses of modern times - Onanism and Masturbation. Onanism is the act of withdrawing the penis during sexual intercourse so that ejaculation takes place outside the vagina. Most readers would consider Onanism and Masturbation harmless acts. However, while studying Homeopathy over the years I have found many remedies (medicines) that treat mental and emotional derangement arising out of these two acts. When we say Onanism or Masturbation, we are really talking about ejaculation taking place outside the vagina. The belief behind it is that sexual intercourse is meant for procreation and is not a recreational exercise. Nature has programmed us to enjoy the act for perpetual existence of the human race. It is like eating, we are meant to eat to provide nourishment and energy to our body, but we mostly eat because we enjoy it. In the same manner we indulge in sexual activity mostly for pleasure not necessarily for procreation. This unnatural way of indulging in sexual activity harms men more than women. You can find more on the subject in my post “How to stop a masturbation addiction”. The practice of Yoga and Qigong will not only help strengthen the sexual system, but also remove excessive sexual urge which usually leads to the abuse of the body.

Yoga – Pranayama (breathing exercises)

There are many breathing exercises (pranayama) described in Ancient Hindu scriptures (Vedas). Different exercises have an effect on different “Chakras” or systems of the body. However the starting point towards better sexual health and enjoyment is the “mooladhar chakra”. This is simply the reproduction system of the body. Doing exercises to improve the reproductive system has a dramatic effect on your overall wellbeing. The basis of good health is the reproductive system. These exercises actually bring about hormonal and chemical changes in the body. Two exercises, Kapaal Bhati, from the Indian system and Sexual (or Iron Crotch) Qigong (or Chi Kung or Chi gung), are great to strengthen and make the sexual sphere disease free and increase pleasure and overall wellbeing.

Kapaal Bhati

Kapaal Bhati can be practiced both by men and women. It is best practiced in the morning before eating anything, in open air. Doing it indoors will benefit, but a little less. The objective of the exercise is to increase Oxygen levels in blood. Most of us usually breathe very shallow and do 10 to 12 repetitions per minute. In Kapaal Bhati you increase repetitions to 60 per minute. Kapaal bhati is done sitting down, cross legged on the floor. It is good to sit on the floor or grass without a mat. However, if you want you may use a mat, and even do it indoors on a bed, couch or chair. I would not recommend doing it standing. It is a simple exercise where you breathe in as you normally do and quickly, with a little extra force, push the air out through the nose. When you breathe out you should feel the same stress in your lungs, upper and lower abdomen, as you would when you cough. Try keeping your body straight and shoulders should not move. To start with 30 or 40 repetitions per minute are good, do not force yourself, do as fast as you can, comfortably. To get any meaningful benefit you need to do Kapaal Bhati for at least 15 minutes continuously, or let’s say that is your final target. You will start experiencing changes in about 40 days. However, do not start doing 15 minutes from day one. Start with one set of one or two minutes. Slowly increase the number of sets and duration per set. Your goal is to do at least 3 sets of 5 minutes each. Once you reach this point continue for at least 40 days to experience changes. I however started doing 25 minutes from the first when I started, in five sets of 5 minutes each, without any problem. But this I could do because I was already doing a lot of other physical exercises, including running and stomach crunches. So if you are someone who is physically fit and exercises, go ahead and start at whatever level you want, but never exceed more than 30 minutes of kapaal bhati. This exercise when done right, increases blood flow in general and specifically to the mooladhaar chakra (the genetalia), which very often results in erection of the penis in males during the exercise. I did not get an erection at the start, but six months into practicing kapaal bahti it started happening spontaneously. This erection is different from the one you would get during foreplay or looking at erotica. It is fuller, healthy and not requiring sexual release of any kind. If you have the opportunity to indulge in sexual intercourse or masturbate, it would be counterproductive to do so. You need to let this sexual energy play its role in healing or energizing the body. When you get the erection, pulling the perineum muscles will move the energy upward, and the erection will subside.  Perineum muscles can be isolated easily, simply think of the muscles you use to stop urine flow mid-stream.

Within 40 days you will feel healthier, sexier, more energetic, emotionally and mentally stronger. If you are sexually overactive, you will find yourself having less but better quality of sex. If you masturbate and want to give it up, Kapaal Bhati will help. Your sperm count will normalize, in extreme cases it may take a longer time for this to happen. It will help premature ejaculation if you suffer from it. Your penis size may increase; my penis has grown by ¾ of an inch and I get firmer and healthier erections. Your skin quality will improve. Your weight and blood sugar will normalize. Your resistance to disease will increase. If you have some existing medical condition it will improve too. In short you will find a general improvement in overall health and you will start feeling sexier. You will find a kind of healthy glow on your face. You will become calmer and if you are an angry person you will be able to control your anger easily. This will benefit your people skills. It will also make you more productive, by providing you with more energy thru the day. If you are a smoker or drink too much, regular kapaal bahti will help you get rid of the addictions.

Sexual Qigong (chi kung or chi gung) also called Iron Crotch Qigong
Sexual Qigong does not talk about sexual abstention whereas yoga and pranayama practitioners recommend sexual abstention (or brahmachrya) especially for men.  Women have started practicing yogic exercises and pranayama in modern times, however ancient Hindu scriptures only give examples of techniques used by men.

Sexual Qigong should be practiced in the morning, preferably with morning wood (erection). However, the bladder should be empty. In my experience, I lose the erection when emptying the bladder. So what I recommend is that you stimulate (do not ejaculate), and bring the penis to erection. What I do, however is, I use Kapal Bhati (see my previous post for details). 5 minutes of Kapal Bhati gives me an erection similar to a morning erection. Let me add that even if you are unable to have an erection you may practice Sexual Qigong without an erection. Even without an erection you will benefit from it.

To start with look for a private space. You can use a room or practice out in the open. The space should not be to hot or cold. Remove all your clothes. Sit on the edge of a chair, a bed, a step…. Rub your hands together and cup your testicles with one hand, placing your thumb where the penis joins the lower abdomen. With the other hand massage the area between the navel and the root of the penis 81 times going from top to bottom, in a circular motion. Then change hands and repeat the process again. Next sit with your hands clenched into a fist, with your fingers around your thumb. Place the fists lightly on your lap. Concentrate on the area between your anus and testicles and pull this area (the perineum) upwards. An easy way to isolate this muscle is to think of the muscle used to stop urination mid-stream. This pulls the sexual energy upwards starting at the base of the spine. If you started with an erection, it will reduce during the massage and should completely subside when pulling the perineum upward. If you practice this daily in about a month you should start feeling more energetic. I suggest you do not waste this energy indulging in excessive sexual intercourse or masturbation. Let the energy work on your body. This energy can help you get rid of any medical conditions you may have or simply make your body healthier.
