when they ejaculate. Once you become multi-orgasmic, this obvious end point will no longer exist. You will therefore need to decide when you and your partner are satisfied. On some days
It is important to let your erection decrease somewhat about every twenty minutes to allow the blood to recirculate through your body.
you will want a quick sexual experience, and on others you will want leisurely lovemaking. Your needs will change based on your mood and the moment.
When you begin to be multi-orgasmic during lovemaking, it is important that you give yourself and your partner time to adjust. You do not want to turn sex into a chore or an endurance test for you or her. So talk to your partner, and let both of your desire determine the duration of your lovemaking. The more she cultivates her own PC muscle and sexual desire, the better matched the two of you will be.
Your PC muscle is like any other muscle—it strengthens with use—but as with all exercise, you don’t want to push it too far too fast. Also, if you are solo or duo cultivating for more than twenty minutes, which you often may once you are multi-orgasmic, it is important to let your erection decrease somewhat about every twenty minutes to allow the blood to recirculate through your body.
WHEN TO EJACULATE
According to the Taoists, pleasure was not the only reason to become multi-orgasmic. They also believed that multiple orgasms were healthy and healing for the body. The more orgasms a man had without ejaculating, the more sexual energy he could circulate through his body. While orgasms, for the Taoists, are energizing, ejaculations are depleting. While there is nothing wrong with ejaculating from time to time, the Taoists felt that as a man got older ejaculating too often could physically exhaust him. The Taoists linked many erection problems to this physical exhaustion. (If you have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, you may wish to read “Snake Charming: Overcoming Impotence” in The Multi-Orgasmic Man. )
If you are very young, you may not have experienced the depletion that
often follows ejaculation, but most men after they ejaculate are tired or want to go to sleep. (We discuss the Taoist and medical views on the topic in detail in chapter 5, “Sexual Healing.”)
According to the Taoists, each time you have an orgasm (without ejaculating), you draw more energy into your body. Therefore, if you eventually do ejaculate, you lose less of your energy. This is why ejaculation after multiple orgasms is less draining than the old “wham, bam, thank you, Ma’am” ejaculation. If you have half a dozen orgasms and then ejaculate, you will lose approximately half as much energy.
The Taoists recommended that each man ejaculate according to his own condition depending on his age, his health, and the circumstances of his life. If you are getting sick or working hard, you will want to conserve more energy. During the winter, you, like all of nature, will also want to conserve
more energy. However, if you are on vacation, you may want to ejaculate more. Of course, if you are trying to conceive a child, you will need to ejaculate whenever your partner is ovulating. Sun Ssu-miao, one of the leading physicians of ancient China, recommended that, overall, a man can attain good health and longevity by ejaculating twice a month.
Sun Ssu-miao also offered more specific guidelines by which one could decide how often to ejaculate:
A man of twenty can ejaculate once every four days. A man of thirty can ejaculate once every eight days. A man of forty can ejaculate once every ten days.
A man of fifty can ejaculate once every twenty days. A man of sixty should not ejaculate.
Of course, a man of any age can continue to have sex and have multiple non-ejaculatory orgasms. Indeed, the Taoists believed there is no reason that men and women shouldn’t have sex until the day they die. While you may worry about the decrease in the number of ejaculations or
