Celibacy and its connection with fitness

Sometimes I encounter some websites which are marketed by so called “sex experts” which believe that sex is the ultimate panacea. It is the “Tylenol” for everything. These individuals usually do not offer a living proof of their statements neither a complete reference of the studies/research which they use to give scientific support to their claims. The truth is: Show me one research which demonstrates that having regular sex will improve your fitness, and I will show you cases where even athletes have abstained from sex while being in top condition. The book by Manta Chia “ Taoists secrets of love: cultivating male sexual energy” mentions the name of some of them. Mohamed Ali, Guillermo Vilas and others. You can read this for further info.Please note the sheer ignorance of sex experts when they deal with athletes. It is not about “calories” spent. There is a tremendous energy in semen which is wasted when ejeculated. That energy is able to create life. When that energy is used in spiritual or creative endeavors, the sky will be the limit.
I have been an athlete myself for 25 years, competing at the national and college level. I can tell you that there is a huge difference as far as focus, mental relaxation, concentration and stamina as well as recuperation after a race when you have been practicing abstinence for quite sometime. Your body becomes stronger and able to maintain top physical fitness for a longer time.
Take a look at the body of those who are in their mid 30s to 40’s. If they have been lured by sex, usually they will gain weight, develop the so called “love handles,” their chins and faces will become puffier and their eyes lose their brightness. Their face and body features will decline. Someone who has been celibate for quite some time will look younger than his age and his body will be able to maintain his physical prowess for a long time.
By keeping your sexual energy intact definitely, your health and fitness level will improve as long as you practice a regular exercise routine.

i want to know if having sex with you wife for pleasure is wrong ??

That is not a question of "wrong or right."
It is a question of consciousness.
If your wife is Ok with your idea of pleasure, then that makes 2 people of the same consciousness who are Ok with that.

However, if your wife is not OK, then we have a problem...

Hi Luis ! I am very impressed by your writings. I have tried Celibacy in the past for 15 - 20 days and I felt awesome and full of energy during that time. I was wondering if Celibacy has a positive effect on the immune system ?

Absolutely! As your body retains its energy, your immune system will be fortified as well, as long as you have a good diet and good rest!

Thank you for your kind comments .. :-)
