Eastern Medicine

[Actorloss]

Hey guys,

Found out something interesting yesterday. I went to a doctor who specialises in eastern traditional chinese medicine; acupuncture - that sort of stuff.

I know there's a lot of debate about masturbation on here already but basically he examined me and I filled out a questionaire and he came to the conclusion that I need to cut down on the masturbating - this sounds funny, I know.

Theory behind it:
Your sperm and/or the act of ejaculation is your life essence and we've been alotted a certain amount. Hairloss is a manifestation of low amounts of essence.

Recommended masturbation/ejac frequency:
20s - once every second day
30s - once every third
40s - once every fourth
50s - once every fifth

I was "releasing" once a day and I'm in my 20s. He said I should aim for at least once every third day. Also, black foods and sour foods help suppress your essence ie should make you want to release less.

Don't mean to upset anyone with this info or cause a huge debate. I'm not recommending or advocating any of this treatment but I paid good money for a consultation session and thought I might share this with fellow sufferers. I've had a rough time losing my hair slowly over the course of only 2 years trying the usual stuff and am open to anything at this stage.

Question:

1) Has anyone (preferably but not specifically aimed at young men in their 20s) had the experience of gaining hair by reducing the amount of times they ejaculate?

2) Those of you in your 20s balding severely, how many times do you ejaculate?(be it sex or masturbation)

Thanks guys!

What the hell is your essence? And how does it come out the end of your penis when you ejaculate? :uglylol:

Sorry I dont mean to be rude but that just sounds very odd!

I know there is a lot of debate about excessive masturbation = hair loss, however my theory is the complete reverse... that the reasons behind needing to masterbate so much are what is also causing your hair loss, not the other way around.

I.e. too much testosterone etc.

What the hell is your essence?

Ever watch "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"?

Turns out keeping the old 'belly jelly' locked away can increase testosterone.

High T levels feel good, maybe that's why eastern medicine made the link between abstinence and what they term 'life essence'.

As far as hair loss is concerned, don't worry about it.

If you need additional treatments look at augmenting your regimen, maybe with a topical dht inhibitor, or perhaps copper peptides or adenosine.

This has been tried and failed by so many people...young guys abstaining and wasting time....zero benefit.
