Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Determined]

I have been a fighter for many years, in different styles and I definitely notice depletion energy/stamina wise, after sexual intercourse and releasing with a woman. Years ago I was not aware of it and it is only when I look back now because of what I am aware of now, that I see the connections. If I was competing now and had a fight coming up, there is no way I would have sex the night before, the week before, or even a month before.

Fighters do this for a reason. There is something to it. I don't care what mainstream says either, mainstream is a joke.

Maybe, but not everyone is a fighter and not everyone wants to live that lifestyle. If you make your living using your mind, you can be successful and enjoy your women too.

I don't see how this is got to do with anything I have said. Obviously not everyone wants to be a fighter and not everyone wants to live that lifestyle.

That's because you're not following the logic. If you're neither a fighter nor a professional athlete, then feeling "depleted" after sex shouldn't matter. You abstain from sex to achieve a purpose. If you make your living using your mind then abstaining from sex isn't going to be very useful.

Even if what you're saying is true (which is completely wrong in the tantric tradition where sex is seen as medicine) the logic holds.
