It’s Virya and Ojas.

Ayurveda talks about how frequency of ejaculation related to health and longevity has to do with diet, seasons, individual constitution, age and habits; meaning that theoretically ejaculation frequency can be monitored so as to not lose Ojas; but for a serious Yogi, I think this is playing games. Meaning a serious Yogi would aim for mastering the sexual energy completely, instead of fooling around with “I could ejaculate this many times this month” etc.

Masturbation (and homosexuality) is what Samael Aun Weor’s teachings from over at Gnosticteachings.org would call the sphere of lilith; and casual sex is what he’d call the sphere of nahemah. If you had to choose one, nahemah would be less harmful for one’s subtle bodies generally speaking (unless maybe you were to end up with an particularly malignant sexual partner). Masturbation is said to attract incubi and/or succubi.

My question about Samael Aun Weor’s simple ‘Hindu’ style methods for controlling sexual energy, is why would Buddhist Yogi’s go through all the complex Yogic methods like Khrul Khor and Tsa Lung, if it were as simple as doing some simple alternate nostril breathing Pranayama?

Theoretically though, the sexual energies could sublimate or transmute automatically through the ‘simple’ Dzogchen method of “meditation”; but I think most people would have to have studied a lot and done solitary practice retreats for this to realistically happen. The only way to find out would be to receive Dzogchen teachings, and go by your own experience.

Anyway, I don’t want to go on an long tangent of speculation. I have my own experience with these things; but I don’t generally talk about it. Everyone has to get their own experience.

Here’s a good introductory work on the importance of the sexual energy by Swami Sivananda called The Practice of Brahmacharya:
