This is the start of a three-episode exploration into one of yoga’s least understood, but possibly most important topics: Brahmacharya or as we might term it, semen retention.
Through loss of semen (bindu), [his] lifespan is diminished and he becomes weak. .... Through constant retention of semen, a fine odour arises in the body of the yogin, (-) so the yogin should make every effort to preserve his semen.
(Dattātreya’s Discourse on Yoga, trans. James Mallinson)
This is just one of many similar instructions in yoga texts. So what are we to make of this practice?
And what other issues are at play? Pornography and sex addiction are getting worse in our society. How can men handle some of their pressures and find more fulfilling relationships with themselves, their partners, and their practice?
Tyson Adams is a trauma-informed IFS men's coach, somatic bodyworker and psychedelic facilitator. After spending 20 years addicted to pornography, he outgrew it seven years ago and has found his passion and purpose in helping other men master their lifeforce energy. He also co-facilitates men's work leadership intensives and works with couples experiencing intimacy challenges. When he's not working you'll catch him on a rock wall or riding a slackline in sunny, San Diego.
