SEXUAL ENERGY IN HEALTH AND SPIRITUALITY SEXUAL ENERGY SPIRITUALITY HEALTH AND Ancient spiritual traditions and new ways of relating sexually with our partners offer solutions for overcoming health problems and improving our vitality and longevity. Part 2 of 2 ccording to psychological studies and statistics, in the longer term the vast majority of sexual relationships cause more distress and unhappiness than happiness. It is obvious, at least to me, that stress due to failing relationships also has a major impact on our health, emotionally and iologically. Even medical thinking now regards stress as an underlying problem that aggravates all other diseases. Sexual factors that may contribute to health problems are nutrient deficiencies, ormonal and bio-energetic imbalances, and emotional distr Several of these may be involved in any one case, and they cannot always be identified. Nutrient deficiencies relate mainly to loss of ejaculate. The seminal fluid is high in zinc and requires much vitamin B6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish oil and linseed oil. Deficiencies of these are widespread, especially in teenage boys with frequent loss of seminal fluid. The same deficiencies are common in schizophrenia, which starts most frequently in teenage boys. I believe that this may be a contributing factor in cases of existing deficiencies. Zinc deficiency also leads to underdeveloped male sexual organs and later in life to enlargement of the prostate gland. By pointing out these connections, I do not want to create guilt about masturbation but, instead, improve awareness about nutrition. Also, orgasm and schizophrenia are both associated with a high and unstable level of dopamine, while depression is associated with a low dopamine level. Another observation is that arthritis tends to get worse with frequent ejaculatory sex. An ancient proverb says that "[Excessive] love-making, wine-drinking and laziness create arthritis". Arthritis specialist Bernard Aschner, MD, observed that arthritis tends to get worse with frequent ejaculations, especially with elderly men, whom he advised to abstain from sex for a few months until cured.’ Hormonal imbalances, especially dopamine excess or deficiency, seem to be the greatest contributors to addictive behaviours such as drug abuse, compulsive behaviour and gambling as well as aggression, violence and attention deficit disorder. Oxytocin, on the other hand, has a beneficial influence on these problems. For a referenced discussion of this subject, see http://www.reuniting.info/science/sex_and_addiction. The main factor in raising our stress level is probably the inability to discharge bio- energetic static. One common example is watching exciting movies that fire us up, and then going to bed without releasing the induced tension. It is likewise with conventional sex. Initially the body may get charged with skin stimulation and anticipation, but then there is little release, especially for women, if the union lasts for less than 30 minutes. No wonder that some women develop emotional problems and gynaecological or nervous complaints, or just switch off and abstain from sex. Men, being less emotionally aware, may just develop physical symptoms instead, such as hypertension, heart disease, prostate problems or impotence. Dr Rudolf von Urban's solution for relieving single or otherwise frustrated women of sexual and bio-energetic tension is a warm douche at bedtime on alternate nights. The duration is from 10 to 20 minutes while lying in a bathtub. The water is supplied by fitting some rubber tubing over the tap. This practice is very relaxing and not meant to induce an orgasm, but will help to provide a peaceful sleep. Most diseases and health problems of the sexual organs are likely to be linked to unhealthy sexual practices. These health problems include not only cancers and JUNE — JULY 2007 NEXUS = 33 SEX AND HEALTH by Walter Last © 2007 www.nexusmagazine.com
