Hot tips for celibating

Back in my days in the Hare Krishna movement and beyond, I learned a handy trick or two from
successful celibates (Sanskrit: brahmacari). These particular lessons come from observing a
fellow monk who tied up his genitals with straps of cloth with the fury of a grumpy old sailor,
the great icon of repressed manhood that he was.
1.
Kaupina is a traditional Hindu ascetic's underwear, generally made of two pieces of cloth, one
serving as a belt, the other (fourteen fists long and two palms wide) as the covering flap folded
over the front and tied or wrapped in the back. Ascetics who actually know their stuff install a
number of protective deities into the cloth prior to wearing it.

http://bp3.blogger.com/_mEKQGbVs5y0/SIeo0Rv5QmI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/b168suO4bw/s1600-h/blog_beach_lion_guru.jpgWearing a kaupina is supposed to be the magic masala
for celibates, creating an effect called urdhva-retah or upward-flowing semen in accomplished
sublimators, leading to heightened levels of spiritual energy and psychic ability. However, it's
damn uncomfortable if you're sweating, jogging or under general stress.
The master fix (and people actually pay hundreds of dollars to learn this secret!) is folding the
sacred underwear over swimming pants. Yes, just wearing a pair of Speedo swimming pants with
a set of kaupinas wrapped tight around will guarantee you years of pleasant celibacy!
2.
Women are also bad and evil and do not deserve to be looked in the eyes, for twinkly female
eyes emanate a special radiation that makes the kaupinas go loose and the head spin around. The

traditional fix is to turn your gaze to the floor.

http://bp3.blogger.com/_mEKQGbVs5y0/SIe1q2rGtI/AAAAAAAAAMg/UTY80Ag_M2E/s1600-h/blog_evil_woman.jpg

http://bp3.blogger.com/_mEKQGbVs5y0/SIe1q2rGtI/AAAAAAAAAMg/UTY80Ag_M2E/s1600-h/blog_evil_woman.jpgHowever, being a
temple president or other such pompous authority figure who needs to constantly deal with
women, neck strain and even chronic neck pain can become a very real threats to a well-rounded
and comfortable celibate life.
The easy shortcut fix is to simply move your gaze down far enough to keep it safely off the
radiating face area. Experienced manager brahmacaris recommend moving the gaze 20-25 cm
down from the chin. A pair of breasts, located conveniently in the safe zone, provide a safe visual
focal point for a pair of easily agitated celibate eyes.
I have never tested the second tip owing to obvious concerns with possiblekaupina issues, but
apparently it has been tested and proven. The ladies in theashrama seemed to be well aware of
this evasion strategy. I won't elaborate on lady counter-methods for drawing the gaze back
upwards in fear of sounding sexist or politically incorrect.
~~~oSince brahmacaris are however technically speaking supposed to digest a whole volley of abuses
as education in humility (that helps you celibate), I have not exercised the same caution in this
text. If any brahmacari feels offended or otherwise morose, we can perhaps meet and have a
friendly chat over a cup of herbal tea, celibating together for a silent moment as a symbol of
friendship and goodwill.

Displacement Activities
Work out (squats seem popular with many nofappers).
Do yoga or stretching.
Groom yourself (shower, trim fingernails, shave, floss, brush teeth, use tongue scraper, wash
your clothes, etc.).
Get squeeze balls for your hands (squeeze the squeeze ball and not your genitals).
Go for a walk.
Read a book instead of surfing the web.
Hang out with people.
Join a club (or clubs).
Clean the house/apartment/room.
Fix something around the house.
Start a chore that you have been putting off.
learn something new (a language, a musical instrument, cooking, solve a Rubik's cube etc).
2 minute time out.
Avoidance Techniques
Delete your porn folder, delete your porn links.
Install a porn blocker (no more looking at sexy pics).
No edging, period. Touch yourself only when cleaning your body or urinating (see squeeze
ball above).
Stay in public places.
Stay off the computer or phone except for a dedicated task like banking, work, school work,
email, texting, checking nofap, checking the news, etc. and then log out.
If you are surging stay off the computer or phone completely.
Do not mindlessly surf the web because you will eventually click on a trigger.
Wear thick pants with a belt.
Go to bed only when you are about to sleep.
Get out of bed immediately after waking.
Beer, wine, liquor and pot: avoid these until you have solid control of your fappy impulses.
Mental Motivation
Remember why you are doing this.
Acquiring that strong sense of self-pride and being able to look people in the eye.
There will never be a day when fapping to porn will leave you happy and fulfilled.
Remember how shitty you feel right after you fap.
Remember that as your pleasure centres rewire you will start enjoying the experiences of
your life more vividly.
If you fap then you are training yourself to be mediocre.
If you fap then prepare to lose your manliness.

When you fap then your sex life is watching other people have sex. This trains your brain to
be a beta male.
If you fap you will numb yourself to your life and you will never have a hope of completing
yourself.
A fraction of the women in porn are leading abused lives. You don 't want to contribute to the
harm of another person.
Porn and fapping makes you look at woman in the wrong ways. You don't want to be that
guy.
People can sense you are a beta male when you fap. They know.
When you don't fap you will become more alpha. Alpha doesn't mean aggressive douchebag,
I know buddhist monks and lay meditators who are very alpha and very good people at
the same time.
Don't do nofap to get a women in your bed, do it for yourself.
Remember that if if you don't have ED you will eventually get it.
Remember that if you have ED then nofap will cure it (if there are no underlying medical
issues).
You will have the freedom of not worrying about your browser history.
You will have the freedom of not having that second, hidden, fappy personality.
You will have a more sensitive and normal genital response (i.e. no more death grip/death
schlick syndrome).
Improve Your Commitment
Acknowledge to yourself that you have a problem, an addiction even.
Make a public commitment to stop fapping (for most of us this is an anonymous but public
commitment like here on nofap, for some it could be a trusted buddy or your SO).
if you have an accountability partner, call or text them when you are surging.
Mark out your nofap days on a calendar ('x' out each day with a coloured marker, if you
relapse then 'x' out each subsequent day of your new streak using a different coloured
marker). It doesn't have to be paper, I use my iPad calendar for example.
... but remember that every day is Day 1 no matter how high your counter is.
Also post your progress on nofap every so often. Post daily if you are going through a rough
patch.
"Low fap" does not work, cold turkey is the best way to go.
Go to nofap and help others.
Meditation.
Identify your triggers (stress, anxiety, boredom, some kind of perceived failure) and realize
that a fap session will not help.
Tricks of Last Resort
Cold showers.
For some, cold showers are too traumatic. If so, then wash your unit with a cold face cloth
until the urge passes. Some fapstronauts have suggested that washing your face in cold
water may also work.
If you are not doing hard mode then get your woman or man to "relieve" your tension.

This post is only about Phase I of nofap. Phase II of nofap is about living for purpose, not
pleasure.
Finally
Fall down. Get up.
Fall down. Get up.
Fall down. Get up.
Fall down. Get up.
Fall down. Get up. Stay up. Help others.
Stay strong

Very well said. In my opinion, being alpha is about being confident and self-respecting. It doesn't
mean you're a self-centered douchebag (although this can certainly occur), it means you're
someone who takes care of themselves, and that's a good thing.
Thanks for the list, it's a great cliffs notes version of NoFap's collective wisdom.

HOW TO ABSTAIN FROM SEX

63 Comments
The expulsion of semen through ejaculation has been scientifically proven to result in loss of
certain nutrients which are present in it. The nutrients are lecithin and phosphorus, which are also
found in high levels in the brain. It is also believed that when semen isnt lost through
ejaculation, it is reabsorbed into the blood stream and has numerous health benefits.
For those who seek power, spiritual or otherwise, noted German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche
says abstinence results in accumulation of power.
It is no news that sexual abstinence is going out of style. Young people dont even give it a
thought because being a virgin is not cool. Girls arent left out here. Practices that were
considered unclean or extreme in early times are normal now. Going anal is cool, so is
masturbation, orgies, homosexuality and lesbianism. Getting to this point was facilitated and is
currently maintained by the media. The belief that sex sells has made every advert sexy. Clothes
must be sexy, lingerie must be sexy, employees must be sexy, even furniture should be sexy.
Sexiness is in and chastity is out.

Despite the sexy noise going on in the world today, which I like to call the over-sexualization
of humans, some people seek abstinence but do not know how to achieve and sustain it. Most do
not believe it is even possible. For the virgin, the issue is simpler as he or she has not yet been
exposed to sex. Hence, would have lesser urges. Virgins simply need support and reinforcement
of sorts. However for someone who has tasted of the deep waters of sex, grace is required. The
first step to achieving this feat is the realization that it is possible.
Know your reason
This is the most important milestone in the journey of abstinence. The reason defines the quest.
In hard times, it is what will keep you holding on. There are several reasons to abstain from sex.
Most common among them is religion. Personally I think the fear of a lake that burns eternally is
enough reason to abstain from premarital sex and adultery.
Keeping oneself for marriage is a good one. I think marriage is worth the long wait. That would
be about 30 years of abstinence and close to 60 years of sex. Lets hope it spans out that way for
most people. Marriage is a good place to learn together in bed. If you are still going to have to
learn your spouses sexual preferences, why not wait for that one person and build the
preferences together?
In some cases the individual simply desires a different lifestyle form what is considered the norm
and this influences his decision to have sex or abstain from it. Others include a disinterest in sex,
fear of sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy etc
Statistics show that women who abstain from sex until past their teenage years are less likely to
get STDs that can lead to cervical cancer and infertility. In addition, it is estimated that as many
as 50% of sexually active singles have Genital Warts, for which there is no cure. They are
extremely easy to transfer between partners and can be a precursor to penile, cervical and rectal
cancer.
Your reason for abstaining from sex is totally your choice. Choose wisely because the strength of
your reason will define the success or otherwise of your quest.
Make a decision
After you have identified your reason for abstaining form sex, you need to make a decision that
you will not have sex and that you will stay true to the decision. You must be convinced that you
can do it. This is what monks and nuns do. They make a decision to abstain from sex and
marriage altogether. You have to admire them. They must be extraordinarily strong, right? How
are they genetically different from you?
After you have made the decision, realize that you must build a lifestyle that supports it. You
might have to move house, change friends and scene completely. You might also have to change
your partner. This depends on your age and readiness to marry. If you are young and not ripe for
marriage, you might consider not dating entirely. Dating complicates the issue because it is the
same as dangling a roasted chicken in front of a hungry man.
Master yourself
Society dictates a lot of things. It even dictates what you think you can or cannot do. Society will
tell you for instance, that it is impossible for you to abstain from sex because you are a man. This
means that you are weak and powerless against the dictates of your boy. Your body is more
powerful than you are. In fact we are told that the penis is a brain by itself and it does what it
wants. This is degrading. Whatever happened to self control? You own your body. Your sex
organs are simply organs. You can control them. All that you require is determination and
discipline. Dont let your urges control you. Rather, master them.
Focus

Place all you concentration on your work or on your religion. If you are abstaining for religious
reasons, there should be religious activities that will keep your mind off having sex. Prayer and
church work for instance. If not, you could bury yourself in your work or studies. Youll be more
productive and accomplished because you would have invested a lot of effort and time into your
endeavor. It is important not to leave room for idleness because we have heard at one time or the
other that an idle mind is the devils workshop.
Watch what you consume
In keeping with your chaste lifestyle you will have to avoid materials that will make your quest
even more difficult. Materials such as sexually themed videos, music, movies and books. Like I
said earlier, you might want to stay away from friends who will complicate issues either by
shaming you or tempting you. You should also replace the sexual materials with those that will
aid your abstinence. Materials such as holy books or philosophical literature will help reinforce
your stand.
Do not tempt the devil
If you arent ready for marriage, you might want to give up dating altogether. Kissing and petting
wont help your resolve to abstain from sex. It would be best to keep away from all sexually
related activity. I am sure youll think this is hard. What is hard is engaging in sexual activity
without having sex. I shall repeat that with a strong resolve, abstinence is very possible.
Get back up when you fall
Realistically, you might not attain perfection. That rarely happens. Sometimes, you might give in
to temptation and have sex. However, this does not have to mean the end of your resolve to
abstain. When you stumble and fall, get up, dust yourself and try again. Note what made you
stumble and resolve to keep away from it. At least you would have learned something form the
incident. Dont beat yourself up. You wont win any prizes for it.
Eyes on the prize
Once again, I reiterate the importance of the reason. At the point when desire is raging and all
sense is lost, you need a strong reason to focus on. Keep your eye on the prize and focus on the
fact that it is worth all that you are giving up. Most religions it seems, are against pre-marital sex.
If this is the case, why then do most people believe that it is impossible not to have premarital
sex? It could be because they have no prize. You have established one. Focus on it.
Plan your life
To maintain a life of abstinence from sex, you might have to alter your life plan a little. It would
make sense to consider getting married early. For instance, a man might want to plan towards
getting married early, say 22 or 25 years. This will keeping him focused on earning a living early
and building enough to sustain his family. All the time that would have been spent on sexual
escapades would have been spent trying to make money even while still in school.
Dating rules
If you must date, maybe because you are ready to marry, do so in groups. Several churches have
such arrangements. They facilitate a sex free courting period. Here you could get to know your
partner-to-be in an atmosphere that wont leave room for desire to overcome you both.
Also ensure that you two are never alone. Do not talk dirty on the phone and resist the urge to
send nude pictures to each another.
All these scenarios wouldnt even arise if you sat down to have a serious conversation about your
expectations. It is important especially for the man to feel no shame in telling the lady that you
do not want sex before marriage. You can only continue to date such a person if she shares your
views or values, or if you are convinced that she is prepared to wait with and for you.

In conclusion, if you do not learn to abstain while you are single, you are setting yourself up for
a fall when you get married. This is because, in marriage, there will be times of abstinence. Self
mastery and disciple are lost values in these times. Attaining them would be a feat worthy of
commendation.

Celibacy Benefits

Learn more about celibacy benefits or the benefits achieved through the act of Brahmacharya.
The true secret to health lies in maintaining ones vital force. Ones vital force can be obtained
and kept by withstanding from sexual acts, sexual thoughts and desires. The act of Brahmacharya
is the movement towards God and to obtain the life in the absolute manner. Some ways to obtain
celibacy is to occupy yourself with other things, such as dancing, meditation and internet study
courses.
1. Dont Waste Your Semen. Those who have not obtained celibacy have become victims of
lifes daily miseries. They become victims of anger, stress, jealousy, depression and abuse. When
the semen is saved for the use it was meant for, producing children, the lifes force is increased
and health restored.
2. Life Force Brings Back Vitality. When the man restrains from sexual desire, the life force is
brought back with vitality, vigor and strength. The brain is increased in power and the mentality
of man itself is reinforced with vitality. Simply refraining from sexual thoughts and deeds will
show you how life was truly meant to be lived.
3. Quality of the Children Produced is Increased. By saving the semen for producing children,
the quality and strength of the child is increased. The children that are produced at beautiful,
intelligent, strong and self-sacrificing. The main purpose of sex is not for lust, but for the
producing of children who can carry the line forward.
4. Religious Reasons. Almost every religion preaches abstaining from sexual acts. From Islam to
Buddhism, celibacy is taught. One of the most religious prophets who practiced celibacy was
Jesus. The act of celibacy from Jesus was not practiced to produce stronger children, but to
follow the command of God. Premarital sex is prohibited in most religions.
5. Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Besides looking at the acts of Brahmacharya (Ayurveda
ancient Indian medicine) man must look towards the avoidance of sexually transmitted diseases.
Some of the best celibacy benefits lie in the avoidance of diseases such as HIV, chlamydia,
gonorrhea, genital herpes and syphilis.
6. 100% Guarantee of No Unwanted Pregnancies. Even though some men may wear
condoms, they are not 100% safe. In some reports, it has been stated that condoms fail as much
as 15% of the time.
7. Learn to Love not Lust. Without sex involved in a dating relationship, the person you choose
for a partner will be based on pure love, not lust. Too many marriages are made quickly due to

the lust factor. Learn that one of the main celibacy benefits is to find a true soul mate that will
last till death.
8. Relationship Heartbreaks. When celibacy is practiced, there is no sexual heartbreak involved
when the relationship does not work. Another celibacy benefit is that of not being attached to
your partner so quickly and without reason. Finding a true soul mate should be based on mutual
desires and goals in this life.
9. Loved for Who You are and not How Big You are. One failed sexual encounter may
cause you to lose the woman of your dreams. The practice of celibacy allows both people to get
to know each other before marriage and thus allows the person to be loved for his true and real
self.
10. Finding the Real You. Through meditation, journaling and searching, you can find out who
you really are and what the things in life that pleases you are the most. Marriage, relationships
and dating sometimes causes the man to try to please the other person. It is a time to reflect on
who you are. Celibacy benefits are many and in the end, the main reason for celibacy is to have
more time to reflect on your life force and what truly will make you happy.
Here they are:
Be a patient listener (it is this, not fast talking, that gets a con man his coups).
Never look bored.
Wait for the other person to reveal any political opinions, then agree with them.
Let the other person reveal religious views, then have the same ones.
Hint at sex talk, but don't follow it up unless the other person shows a strong interest.
Never discuss illness, unless some special concern is shown.
Never pry into a person's personal circumstances (they'll tell you all eventually).
Never boast - just let your importance be quietly obvious.
Never be untidy.
Never get drunk.
I also have a picture of the list that you can find here.
Maria said, "Is someone who follows this advice a con man? Again, depends on intent."
Studies have shown that any job can give your happiness if it utilizes your strengths and does
four things:
1. stretches a person without defeating him
2. provides clear goals
3. provides unambiguous feedback
4. provides a sense of control
And you dont have to wait for your job to give you these things or necessarily switch to a new
job; you can look for ways to incorporate these things into your existing position.
the number of sexual partners a year that maximizes ones happiness? 100? 25? One. Apparently
monogamy is pretty sexy.

Conclusion
So to summarize, things that correlate to happiness include:

 at least $75,000 income

spending money on other people and charity
spending money on experiences over material goods
living close to your job
being older
having a satisfying job
strong social ties
regular, monogamous sex
So you may be wasting your time:
trying to be extremely wealthy
wishing your were back in your 20s
buying a bunch of junk
enduring a lengthy commute to your job so you can have a bigger house
being Boo Radley
involuntary celibacy
In the end though, happiness really comes down to attitude and taking pleasure in the small
things in life. Ive known men who worked crappy jobs in deadbeat towns and still led happy
lives. They learned to enjoy even the smallest of lifes pleasures. A good book, delicious food,
and the beauty and refreshment of the outdoors. Instead of focusing on what they didnt have,
these men focused on all the things they had going for them. They fostered an attitude of
gratitude. And actually, theres a study that proves the truth of this age-old bit of wisdom, too.

-----------------------


There is nothing forever in human affairs. Always moderate your opinion, proceed with
caution.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
The underlying problem is a lack of knowledge and respect of money. It does not come down to
greed.
The fact that we all choose how we live our life and those who want money, and go after it, does
not prove greed. It actually proves that they know something you do not.
There happens to be other aspects, many people refuse to accept. Humanity is not civilized
enough to live without money. Therefore, at this time in our development stage, we continue to
dress money up and think things that some could only imagine or not.
Any money thrown at any problem can fix the problem, so long as it is properly used for what it
is supposed to be used for in the first place. As I stated above, the non-profit and/or charitable
organization in America, IF they did follow the rules/regulations/guidelines, as they are suppose
to, then much of the many problem would not exist.
Again, when you research them, you will find that very few operate within the guidelines that
they are suppose to follow. Just one survey done, is responsible for showing how the top 200
non-profit and/or charitable organizations are screwing the public/citizenry, because they are
nowhere near their regulatory guideline. (example- Make a Wish Foundation was the highest
rated company on a 2000 survey at 1% versus the required 5% minimum.)
So, I guess I can end this hub, with some simple words- Money is the solution for any problem,
including love, but it is the people who must learn how to understand the power of money and
that the importance of respecting it also.
Last note, if you say that money cannot buy love? Then you would be looking at it from a
skewed perspective.
I only say that, because there isn't any person on the planet who would take in a homeless person
because they fell in love with them. They would be lucky if they ever met the person in first
place.

Money is a requirement for all things we know. You and every other person needs to understand
it, live by it and even breathe it.
You will not get love, because you have money, but you will receive love, because you are
earning a living that is respectable, which gives other people the idea you are in control of your
life and do not need to depend on them.
Thank you for your time.
Do more of what works.

How to Get The Benefits of Semen

Before I delve into the benefits of semen, we should have some idea of how youre going to get
these benefits.

For Men
For men, theres a technique called injaculting, where the semen is not excreted, but instead
reabsorbed in your blood.
Its like getting an intravenous infusion of semen because it goes directly into your blood the
best delivery system.

For Women
For women, there are four options: swallowing, sublingual, anal or not using a condom.
The swallowing method wont produce all of the benefits because much of the ingredients in
semen are destroyed or denatured by the stomach.
Sublingual or allowing it to absorb under your tongue and then swallowing is a better option, but
still not perfect.
The anal route was suggested by a commenter, and it might work, but I dont know.Does the
semen have enough pressure to get absorbed? Maybe.
The vaginal route is probably most effective, but for women, theres a real fear of STDs and
infections transferring through the semen.

Like anything you take in, make sure your supply source of semen is trustworthy and free of
STDs.
If you trust your partner, you can use an IUD and get the benefits of semen (but that has its own
issues).

1) Semen is an Anti-Depressant
In a survey of 293 college women at SUNY Albany about intercourse with and without condoms,
it was found that those who didnt use condoms had lower levels of depression and better moods.
This is surprising because risky sex (ie without condoms) is usually associated with negative
self-esteem and depressed mood.
Among women who always or usually used condoms, about 20 percent reported suicidal
thoughts, but among those who used condoms only sometimes, the figure was much lower, 7
percent, and among women who never used condoms, only 5 percent reported suicidal
thoughts (R, R2).
Semen contains many ingredients that could be responsible for this effect.
Probably the most significant one is Nerve Growth Factor, which has potent antidepressant and
cognitive enhancing effects.
Semen also includes mood enhancers such as oxytocin, progesterone,endorphins, prolactin,
TRH, and serotonin.

2) Semen is an Anti-Anxiety

Semen includes anti-anxiety hormones such as oxytocin and progesterone. It also has serotonin.

Few people realize that a strong driving force of anxiety comes from oxidative stress(R), which
is why it often goes along with brain fog and fatigue issues.
Semen contains a lot of antioxidants to combat oxidative stress (read on).

3) Semen Contains Antioxidants and

CombatsOxidative Stress
Semen contains a number of antioxidants such as Melatonin (R), SOD (R), Catalase(R), GPx
(R), Glutathione (R), Vitamin C (R), Vitamin E (R), Pyruvate (R) and Carnitine (R).
It also includes hormones/peptides that are antioxidants such as NGF, Oxytocin (R) and
Progesterone (R).
Semen contains uric acid, which is also an antioxidant, but I dont know if its in a meaningful
concentration to be medically useful.

4) Semen is an Anti-Inflammatory

Ive suffered from a lot of inflammation until I went on the lectin avoidance diet.
Semen contains anti-inflammatories/immunosuppressants so that its not attacked when it enters
the woman.
Nerve Growth Factor, oxytocin, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol and certain
prostaglandins (R) are anti-inflammatories. TGF-beta in semen also helps create tolerance to
proteins.

5) Semen Contains A Lot of Healthy

Hormones
Semen has good hormones that people are often low in:
Oxytocin (R) has anti-anxiety properties and helps with wound healing.
Progesterone (R) has anti-anxiety properties.
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (R)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) (R)
Testosterone (R) -women can have too low or too high testosterone.
TRH an anti-inflammatory and mood enhancer.
Cortisol (R) which can reduce inflammation and can be good in pulses.
Estrone, Estrone Sulphate (R) good if levels are too low.
Estrogen (in bulls) (R) good if levels are too low.

6) Semen May Help Prevent Cancer

Studies suggest that semen might reduce breast cancer by not less than 50 percent.
This effect is attributed to various proteins, selenium, and TGF-beta in semen (R).

7) Semen is a Cognitive Enhancer: It

Contains Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)

Nerve growth factor (NGF) is important for the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons,
including the axons ( the part where electrical signal passes). It also promotes myelin repair,
which is the coating around the axons (R).
Rita Levi-Montalcini won a Nobel Prize for discovering nerve growth factor and she used NGF
eye drops it to increase her life- and health-span (R).
NGF is abundant in semen. Recent studies have found that it induces ovulation (the release of the
egg from ovaries) in some mammals, which can help with fertility (R, R2).
Stress and anxiety decrease NGF (R). Low NGF levels are found in atherosclerosis, obesity, type
2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (R).
NGF is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant and may be helpful for a variety of conditions
including depression, MS, and schizophrenia, among others (R).
In case you arent in the mood of swallowing cum, other good ways to enhance NGF include
Yoga (even a single 20-minute session) (R, R2) and falling in love (R).
For the whole-fooders, Green Tea/EGCG (R) and Rosemary (Carnosic acid) (R) increase NGF.
For the supplement junkies such as myself, my favorite substances to increase NGF include
Butyrate, Zinc, Lithium, Berberine, PQQ, Vitamin D and Melatonin.

8) Semen May Keep Infections at Bay

Semen contains many proteins with potent antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and
viruses (R).

9) Semen Can Increase Lifespan

Semen contains Spermidine, which has been found to increase lifespan (R).
Spermidine has been found to reduce the amount of aging in yeast, flies, worms, and human
immune cells by inducing autophagy (R).
Spermidine is a longevity agent due to its ability to regulate gene expression (R).
Other good sources of spermidine include grapefruit juice (R) and tempeh.

10) Semen Can Prevent Hair Loss

If the men havent been paying attention, I believe I now have your listening ears.
Spermidine has been tested and discovered to encourage hair shaft elongation and lengthen hair
growth. Spermidine has also been found to increase stem cells that lead to hair growth (R).

11) Semen Increases Sex Drive

Semen contains testosterone (R).

Testosterone increases libido in both men and women.
Testosterone gets absorbed through a womans vaginal walls, or even through the act of
swallowing semen (R).

12) Semen Prevents Preeclampsia

Ive spoken about inducing oral tolerance by ingesting a food with other substances.
Ingredients in semen such as TGF-beta can help induce oral tolerance.
When a woman swallows cum, she will become tolerant to her partners proteins that are found
in sperm. This is thought to reduce the risk of preeclampsia (R).
A study done shows that oral sex and swallowing semen may help make a womans pregnancy
safer and more successful (R).
TGF-beta might also enhance brain function. High blood levels of TGF-beta are associated with
increased thickness in certain brain regions in healthy subjects (R).

13) Semen Increases Fertility

Semen contains NGF, which increases fertility in mammals by increasing ovulation. (R)

14) Semen is Nutritious

Id like to mention that most of the nutrients arent in meaningful concentrations when you look
at each nutrient alone, but on the whole, its pretty good.
For example, a normal semen ejaculate contains 0.56mg of Zinc, whereas the average person
gets probably 20X that in their diet and I take about 20mg of supplemental Zinc daily.
However, since the body only absorbs 20 percent of dietary zinc, the requirements for zinc
should theoretically increase by approximately 2.5 mg after each ejaculation. But if you are
injaculating or swallowing, then you are getting some of that zincback.

Zinc serves to help to stabilize the DNA-containing chromatin in the sperm cells. A zinc
deficiency may result in lowered fertility because of increased sperm fragility. Zinc deficiency
can also adversely affect sperm production (R).
