Newton, Tesla, Beethoven, Brahms, Thoreau

Let's take a look at a couple of these role models for celibacy, as taught by Wikipedia.

Tesla:

Tesla lived the last ten years of his life in a two-room suite on the 33rd floor of the Hotel New Yorker, room 3327. There, near the end of his life, Tesla showed signs of encroaching mental illness, claiming to be visited by a specific white pigeon daily. Several biographers note that Tesla viewed the death of the pigeon as a "final blow" to himself and his work.

Ghandi:

Towards the end of his life, it became public knowledge that Gandhi had been sharing his bed for a number of years with young women.[38][39] He explained that he did this for bodily warmth at night and termed his actions as "nature cure". Later in his life he started experimenting with Brahmacharya in order to test his self control. His letter to Birla in April, 1945 referring to ?women or girls who have been naked with me? indicates that several women were part of his experiments.[40]

Thoreau:

In 1859, following a late night excursion to count the rings of tree stumps during a rain storm, he became ill with bronchitis. His health declined over three years with brief periods of remission, until he eventually became bedridden.

As for Hindu saddhus, I once ran into one who did nothing but smile and stare at me as he took puffs of a joint through his nose.

Newton was a fudge nudger who died a virgin.

You need to get laid... you've been on AT for like seven years... Maybe that's why you can't get none, mawn?

You will have a full sock drawer.

No stanky dick balls in the sink morning washes.

No one will be talking about why you're in the bathroom so long and be staring at you with smirks on their faces when you walk out.

You will have many uncomfortable moments walking around with a mini pup tent on the front of your pants.

Odds are, he didn't die a virgin...

These things weren't talked about heroes of the realm back then.

Also don't you have a much higher chance of prostate cancer and a potential low sperm count if you never pop off a few knuckle babies now and then?

Other than the obvious "you can't knock anyone up and you can't catch STDs", I can't think of any other pluses.

i didn't realize you can pregger someone and catch STDs by fapping it.

The benefit is that you'll get wet dreams again.

The Christian religion, St. Paul, Augustine, Christ, the saints, Hindu saddhus, Buddhist monks, Newton, Tesla, Beethoven, Brahms, Thoreau are all advocates of celibacy. Perhaps there's something to it.

"Chastity is the flowering of man; and what are called Genius, Heroism, Holiness, and the like, are but various fruits which succeed it." -Thoreau

Well, I can comment on Beethoven and Brahms: Both died feeling great remorse for their unrequited loves (Beethoven's "immortal beloved," Brahms's Clara Schumann). They expressed deep sadness at being alone into their final years.

 

[Q]

OK I will

 

[djheater]

My strongest objection to chastity as a form of 'energy enhancement' is that the arguments for this method derive from the assumption that sexual congress is diminishing, in that vital essences are lost (generally these philosophies are misogynistic) to man.

If one were to propose (an equally valid perspective) that sex is enhancing, it fuels the energies by uniting yin and yang, then I think the chastity argument is dashed.

I strongly feel that chastity and abstinance are socially imposed conditions and not the natural state of man.

LOL sorry OP, but that site is a sham. The registrant, that Jullian guy, is selling his e-book. That's the point of that site, and his other site. I hope you didn't pay for that garbage.

 

[Whisper]

If I had to wager a (complete) guess, I'd say any enhancements in productivity fostered by celibacy would likely be due more to a decrease in the amount of time spent thinking about/pursuing sex than to any noteworthy physiological effects.

 

[MustangSVT]

I tried for 33 minutes but I've failed...

 

[bunnyfubbles]

biggest benefit of celibacy is more potent orgasm once you finally break it...granted its generally much harder to draw out the experience...

 

[OCGuy]

You wont have any crusty socks laying around your room.
