Does stopping semen from coming out while masturbating dangerous?!

During ejaculation, semen passes through the urethra, a tube leading from the prostate into the penis!. This tube expands just before ejaculation and can be felt through the perineum, the area between the scrotum and the anus!. The urethra can be closed by applying firm pressure to the perineum, preventing semen from flowing through it!. In the finger lock technique, 3 fingertips apply this pressure just before one reaches the point of ejaculatory inevitability (the point at which nothing can prevent you from proceeding to ejaculation)!. The tips of the ring and middle fingers are laid across the tip of the index finger, forming a small triangle!. The tip of the index finger then presses directly on the urethra while the other two fingers hold it in place!. The fingers are kept in place until ejaculatory contractions cease!. Erection subsides as usual, but no semen emerges!.


A more elaborate version of withholding semen is sometimes called "injaculation"-a technical term describing when a man pulls his semen up into his body and, according to Taoist teachings, it gets absorbed into his blood!. Most of the men I spoke with did not claim they had actually injaculated; they said they are practicing "semen retention!."

Taoist teachers who advocate the finger lock or similar techniques believe every expulsion of semen from the body weakens the person and endangers his health!. Although this assertion is said to be based on centuries of accumulated experience, there is no available scientific or medical evidence to support it!.

Moreover, preventing ejaculation may have bad effects!. Of some concern is retrograde ejaculation, or "injaculation," in which semen backs up into the bladder!. One way to determine if this has happened is to collect a sample from your next urination!. If the urine is cloudy, it probably includes semen!. You may be able to prevent this from happening the next time by moving your fingertips closer to your anus, stopping the semen before it reaches the point where the bladder feeds into the urethra!. This adjustment requires very fine tuning!. However, even if you prevent semen from entering the bladder, seminal fluids will still be forced back through internal valves designed to control flow in the opposite direction, with the full explosive power of ejaculatory contractions!. Study of prostate problems among men of all ages suggests that retaining too much unexpelled semen or "necrotic fluid" inside the body may contribute to serious health problems!. And the famous Dr!. Drew Pinsky of MTV's "Loveline" has said injaculation is a bad idea and can possibly lead to fertility problems, though we have no idea where he got that information!.

Furthermore, a great deal of evidence has accumulated to indicate that the perineum is quite vulnerable to damage!. Both nerves and blood vessels crucial to sexual functioning are found within this area, as long-distance bike riders have discovered to their dismay
