I disagree with the statement I put up and the one you did. In terms of yours, the idea that vital energy, life force and nutrients are lost during ejaculation is b.s. The volume of ejaculate is not that great and it doesn't contain mysterious substances or life forces. Studies have shown that people who engage in sexual activity tend to be healthier then those that don't (obviously you have to take std's out of the equation). Humans losing a load is not like certain types of bees losing a stinger - I don't think there is anything unhealthy about it. In terms of MH, he may have some good ideas about herbs, but he can be wrong about other things. He was saying just recently that the function of hair is to act as an antennae - and that this is what explains womens intuition, they have longer hair then men. Well, not only has hair length in men fluctuated over the centuries, but hair on the head obviously serves a protective feature. It is an insulating feature as more heat is lost from the head per capita then any other place of the body. Males have more hair other places because of hormones. His idea that frequent sex in humans somehow relates to constipation or the release of toxins I believe is wrong.
