"The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity" devotes an entire section of the book to sex and how it relates to Taoist practice.

This author should be about your speed. But go gently. You can injure yourself with too much tonification, especially the wrong kind at the wrong time. I would recommend consulting a qualified Chinese herbalist (profession, not ethnicity). Look for someone who has a master's degree from an accredited university teaching Chinese medicine/acupuncture. If they have a Diploma of Chinese Herbal Therapy from the NCCAOM that is a very good indicator of good training. Just tell them what you want and they will work with you. Herbs are medicine. Jing and Yang tonics are among the strongest. Don't underestimate the risks or benefits.

i don't have any studies to back it up other than my own personal experiments and random advice i got from some crazy bastards.

a woman's orgasm is very different from a man's.

there's this book you can read that got me started down this path: The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity: A Modern Practical Guide to the Ancient Way

There are lots of books that are influential but to tailor a choice for the context: The Tao of Health, Sex & Longevity by Daniel Reid. It's not completely accurate but for a guy to give good advice on how to live a good life it was a great book based on some experience and some learning and some practical aspects. Something schools seem to fail to do after years of attendance.

I immediately thought about withholding on cumming to preserve inner energy when seeing the title of this post. The lifestyle is called taoism, the belief is that losing sperm would reduce one's "chi". This is described in the book "The tao of health, sex and longevity".

There is a great book about the TAO by Daniel Reid who puts in Western words for us to understand clear practices, advices and reasons for the fundaments of ancient chinese philosophy. Great book, and he makes a big point of saying that men have to abstain from ejcaulating as much as possible. Not from having sex, but from cumming basically. Having sex without waste of semen is the best thing we can do as in theory we absorb from the "magical juices" that women secrete when excited: Very powerful juices which are absorbed through the penis, but should also be ingested whenever possible :)

Edit: I would also add that if you actually get blue balls, actual soreness and/or pain in your balls from delayed ejaculation, then masturbation is a great response. I have no idea what would happen if you don't masturbate but it seems like a bad idea. You're only supposed to get blue balls when you expect to ejaculate and then don't get to for whatever reason. Barring coitus interruptus, you are probably experiencing a disconnect between body and mind, i.e. you are getting horny and you don't know how to deal with it. Over time you will learn how to deal with it and the fapping will decrease in proportion to the improved body/mind harmony.

Edit edit: Read this little rant I posted on r/seduction regarding porn. Sorry I'm new to this subreddit so I don't know what the attitude around here to porn is, but personally I'm more anti-porn than I am anti-fap (of course too much of either is bad).
