I was taught not to practice Taoist internal methods for 2-24 hours after ejaculation. I have a new woman in my life and we have been going at it as new lovers do. So how long after ejaculation is it safe to practice DM and/or SBP? I trust this is not too sensitive a subject outside the Tantra board.
There is nothing dangerous about engaging in spiritual practices after ejaculation. It is simply that they will be less effective. If you are ejaculating every day, spiritual practices are not going to have much effect because you will be losing too much prana (spiritual energy) through ejaculation.
If you can reduce ejacualtion to only once a week that would be better, but even then you will still be losing prana to a certain extent. There is another way, which is called pre-orgasmic sex, or sex without ejaculation (or orgasm).
For more details see the tantra lessons which start here:
And yet Taoist teaching disagree. I can see how DM would not be affected but SBP involves very similar techniques as its Taoist counter part.
I understand about the issue of ejaculation control because of that very similarity and practice it to some degree. But the practical aspect of a new sexual relationship will occasionally preclude this.
The Taoist sexual practices I learned warn against energetic practices too soon after ejaculation.
It seems there is no such interdiction in AYP. If there was a danger there, I am sure Yogani would have stated it very clearly in the lessons. Nor do I remember hearing anything of the kind from previous yoga teachers (before I started practising AYP) I guess neigong and yoga practices are not identical. The effects of their respective practices could be different. AYP and - as far as I can tell - yoga in general does not emphasise kidney energy. Does the neigung counterpart of SBP draw qi specifically from the kidneys?
christi is right, taoist probably sayto avoid doing it right after because someone probably felt it was a waste of time.its like doing kriya in a thunder storm, its not dangerous- you wont get struck by lightning(i hope not lol). but the electrical and noise interference makes the side nadis go wild making it a waste of time. if you have sex and ejaculate it would be best to limit this to twice a month. otherwise learn to stay in front of the orgasm.
