In Taoist sexual practice (unlike the Hindu-Tantric tradition), the focus is on maintaining sexual energy (chi) and achieving an "internal" orgasm without ejaculation.
Key Concept According to Taoist texts, frequent, uncontrolled ejaculation was seen as a loss of "life energy"—the practice aimed to preserve this energy without denying orgasmic pleasure.
Basic Technique As you approach ejaculation, contract your pelvic floor muscles and take a deep breath, shifting your attention from the base of your spine to your skull—the goal is to “lift” the energy, rather than ejaculating.
Training Process This technique requires significant practice, usually over months, often starting with solitary practice.
Scientific Perspective In Western sexology, this practice partially coincides with the well-known “dry orgasm” techniques — the physiological mechanism (pelvic muscle control) has been proven, but the energetic concept is beyond clinical research.
