As we talked in previous articles, controlling sexual energy is essential for human life. Man’s power, his effectiveness, his health, his vital resources, physical, mental and spiritual, capacity of mobilization and action are closely related to sexual energy.
We will begin to present some Taoist techniques that will help you control the sexual energy before it controls your life.

The first technique that we present is:
External blockage or method of three fingers.
This method is practiced in China for over 5,000 years and is quite simple and effective. It prevents the spermatic fluid to go out by pressure using fingertips of the right hand. A few seconds before ejaculation, press the point midway between the anus and scrotum with three long fingers of the right hand. The practice is performed in the following steps:
1. Point between the anus and scrotum. It is at the middle distance between the genitals and anus. In Tao is the point of the base of the trunk, a kind of “gateway” through which energy enters or leaves the body.
2. How you press? This force must be found through experience. Where the fingertips are powerful, less force is required to stop the fluid. It’s all about practice and each individual man.
3. The 3 fingers. If you use one finger, spermatic fluid can slip. Two fingers can not keep the channel and block it at the same time. We use the index finger and ring finger to press both sides of the urethra and immobilize it, then middle finger presses directly on the urethra so that fluid can not slip because the urethra is coated on both sides with the other two fingers. The fingers should be slightly curved, especially middle one to have enough strength to press.
4. Time. As soon as you feel that ejaculation is imminent, apply this method of the 3 fingers. If you wait longer, no force can stop spermatic fluid. Lock is applied before, during and after the specific contractions of the ejaculation act. Block until you are sure the pump is completely stopped.

The result is that 90% of sperm is flowing back to the tanks seminal where it started. There is no danger that could affect internal organs because the tissues in this area are very resilient and can receive the fluid back. There are rumors that the tank seminal fluid can not maintain beyond a maximum threshold. This would be possible if male reproductive system would be as a simple container provided with a hose. But it’s not like that. When the fluid reaches a high level, several processes take place. First, sperm production decreases. This process saves energy and nutrient-rich substances needed to produce sperm. Secondly, there is a natural tendency of the body to reabsorb spontaneously these fluids. Third, traditional Tao system perfected a system of alchemy and lifting the seminal fluid by the sublimation process, up to the higher centers of energy. By analogy, it is like boiling water and vapor passes, property that allows it to rise, while still retaining the essence of water. Sperm is thus transmuted in higher energy, more mobile, which maintains the essence of creative sexual energy.
Male’s seed force is more than laboratory tests can explain. Any scientist can mix together the ingredients, but to instill its reproductive power is very difficult. Sexual energy is the life from the spermatic fluid, it is the force that we seek to preserve, because it is what keeps us young physically, psychologically, mentally and spiritually.
In general, this method is practiced by the very beginners in sexual continence, who still can not master the method of seminal retention and those who want to make love without losing seed. In fact, it is a very good start, but will be completely abandoned when you master the techniques of internal blockage. It should be said once again that this method has no contraindication and no bad effect on the sexual or abdominal organs. However this method is only the start and training for controlling sexual energy. You must note that this technique is not 100% a contraception method, because small amounts of sperm can remain in the urethral canal and then by further intercourse, this amount can flow into the woman’s vagina.
And also in this way some of the vital energy is wasted (40-60%). To avoid this process, it is necessary to learn to master the sexual energy, methods of internal blockage, which we will present in the following articles. However, the method of external blocking using 3 fingers is preferable instead of uncontrolled ejaculation and loss of sexual energy entirely.
The biggest advantage of this method is to provide man power and virility. Meanwhile the man who makes this simple and effective method acquires a lot of self confidence. With self confidence, the man manages to succeed in all areas of his life and thus makes an important step in its evolution as a human being.
