Summary

In this episode, Dr. G dives deep into the ancient and modern science of semen retention. He explores its historical roots in traditions like Taoism and Hinduism, where semen was seen as a sacred life force, and contrasts that with today’s research—some of which links frequent ejaculation (21+ times per month) to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Dr. G breaks down the short-term effects of retention, such as possible testosterone surges, and takes a clear-eyed look at the long-term data—revealing there's no strong evidence for sustained physiological benefits. At the same time, he explores the spiritual and energetic practices that have long been paired with retention, including breathwork, meditation, and intentional abstinence. #menshealth #fertility #wellness ==== Thank You To Our Sponsors!

force and their formula was clear in your 20s, no more than every four days, in your 30s every
