Wasn’t sure whether to post this here or sex magic but i think it falls into both categories.
So I’ve been practicing orgasm denial for a week now and i wanted to know if this would have a postive effect on my magic. The other reason why I’m doing it is because i wanted to strengthen my solar plexus/will power.
Would denying sexual release increase energy. In the normal world, orgasm denial increases sexual pleasure so i don’t see why this wouldn’t have an effect. Just curious.
There are many threads on this already, but the answer is yes. Abstaining from ejaculation has been a part of many spiritual traditions.
Okay cool, thank you for answering. I did have a look, probably was typing the wrong keywords.
Semen retention has been dealt with, but the short answer is that it will boost testosterone levels and androgen receptors in the brain. And when your body is not constantly replenishing semen and hormones it leaves a surplus of energy.
In Qigong, it’s believed that releasing semen reduces lifespan, because people are born with a given amount of “Jing”, which is used up in making sperm, and as you run out of it you age and die. So the less you ejaculate the less you age.
Another idea that the unused sexual energy doesn’t have to just be left to it’s own devices - you can use it for spiritual development. There are meditations to bring it up the spine, converting it to “sperm qi” and storing it in the upper Dan Tian. This allows it to “nourish” the Shen, or spirit, making it stronger and bigger, which in turn strengthens your psychic abilities and again, also longevity. It’s basically alchemy.
In my own experiments, moving the energy up helps with the frustration, but takes concentration and practice.
The next step is to masturbate to deliberately generate more sexual energy and move more up. I see the same description in tantra: it takes practice but you can go for longer and longer before climaxing the more you try, until you stop releasing and convert it all.
Sort of the opposite of no-fap - fap every day but try not to finish, instead build your Shen. But I think some to Shen and then release, might be more beneficial than no-fap at all, if that lets you convert more in the doing.
Mantak Chia has written books about how to do it and has a video on yt being interviewed about it.
He has a lot of videos on yt related to sexual energy manipulation if you search “mantak chia sexual”, it’s an area of specialisation for him that few qigong masters talk about in detail.
Also see the ancient text “The Tao of Sex”

Short answer, yes; although if you chose not to it wouldn’t necessarily harm it either.
Work with Qi Gong and you can have as much sex of possible. The Qi exercises are hard at the beginning but later will be easy. Qi is everywhere and you inhale it and store it. Reverse breathing
It doesnt raise your magickal power if you word it like that, you need to do it because magickal reasons to get powerleveling results, not just because internet said nofap is clicking
you cannot put star spaed puzzle piece to square, so it necesary wont do anything to your solar plexus either, and every time you DENY your sexual NEED&URGE you kinda anti solar/plexus anyway
