Chris, Wendy,
Indeed you have. Thank you so much. I am trying to clarify in my mind why your advice was more useful and different, alas, I am having trouble being specific.
I think it is because you related things to how YOU felt instead of comparing my question/quest with some pre-determined orthodoxy.
Regardless, your comments…[Read more]

Chris,
Perfectly stated. Thank you so much. Your words REALLY were the most useful.
While I think you added much to my original question: “would adding semen be a net benefit”, I think you hit the proverbial nail perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you.
Sure, there’d be something “added”, but what is actually being added? Perfect.…[Read more]

Thanks Wendy for your thoughts. It’s always best to hear from both men and women on the topic.
I think what conclusions that may be drawn here, are that there are sooooo many considerations that it may not be worth the effort.

Thank you SD,
This is exactly the kind of information I need. We all have to start somewhere, and it is easier to have some idea of a “number” to start with.
Also, thank you Steven.
Both of you are terrific to take time to help me on the beginning of my journey.

Thank you Steven. It’s obvious that there are many factors and that the number will vary. I looked at the threads.
Nevertheless, I’d still like to hear from others as to how they have done, how it has effected them, their ideas, learnings, recommendations.
It might be helpful to state that I am 48 years old and exhibit the symptoms of…[Read more]

Thank you Steven. I appreciate your grace and wisdom here.
I agree that I must seek greater understanding and rigor in my learnings. And you are helping me to do that. It’s apparent that there are no shortcuts in this regard. I must study and practice.

Steven,
I think you may be right, but also may be missing the point. Of course, I’d only do this if I liked it….and my wife liked it. I freely admit, I would like this.
The point is that WOULD this be an effective way to ADD energy to the equation? And you did answer that question. Thanks.
Is Taoism about circulating sexual…[Read more]

Thank you ALL for such thoughtful and useful AND respectful help. My wife and I now have a much better perspective on the use of this “Green Dragon” to help.
To summarize, it appears that the great danger is for my wife to receive the semen from intercourse. The danger being that she may develop attraction to this man. Instead, it is best…[Read more]

Thank you Steven. I appreciate that you answered the question directly rather than simply state that such an arrangement would be difficult. There is no question that introducing a third person’s energy into the equation can be problematic. So the question to be decided upon for my wife and me is: will the additional considerations (ethical…[Read more]
