Revealed: Three treasures that sex life cannot live without

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive sexual desire can harm a person's essence, energy, and spirit. Jing, Qi, and Shen are the three treasures of human beings.

　　Improper and excessive sexual life is called excessive lust in traditional Chinese medicine. Excessive lust can often lead to sexual dysfunction In addition, it is also an important factor causing physical fatigue, strain, and premature aging. Because essence can generate vitality, and qi can generate spirit. If you want to maintain your health, you should first protect your essence. If essence is full, your qi will be strong. If your qi is strong, your spirit will be strong. If your spirit is strong, your body will be healthy. If you are healthy, you will be less sick. Internally, the five internal organs will be enriched, and externally, the skin will be moisturized, the face will be radiant, and the body will be strong. Therefore, health practitioners regard essence, energy and spirit as the three treasures, especially essence. To use essence as a treasure, we must first avoid the harm caused by lust. In this regard, predecessors have many discussions and practical experiences, which are briefly summarized as follows:

　　(1) Sex life cannot be discontinued

　　Sexual life is the normal nature of human beings. A normal sexual life enables men to enjoy themselves freely, harmonizes yin and yang, and is beneficial to the body and mind. healthy . "Zun Sheng Ba Jian" says: "Huang Di said that one yin and one yang are called Tao, and partial yin and partial yang are called diseases. Yin and yang are not in harmony, like spring without autumn, like winter without summer, so harmonizing them is to adjust the sage. The perfect person does not know the way to unity, but he is content with keeping things secret in order to keep his innocence. That is to say, sexual life between men and women is a normal physiological phenomenon. Living alone (that is, partial to Yin and partial to Boyang) will make people feel bad and even produce various disease . The way to a good life is not that men and women should not have sex, but that it should not be excessive, so as not to let out the essence and Qi, so as to maintain the tranquility and innocence of Qi.

　　(2) Sexual life should not be too early

　　Confucius, a great thinker and educator in ancient my country, once said: "When you are young, your blood and energy are not yet determined, and you should be careful about sex." According to "Suwen?" "Ancient Innocence" discusses the physiological process of human growth and development and the important role of the kidneys. When a man reaches the age of eight, the kidney qi begins to become abundant. At the age of 16, the kidney qi is strong. With the kidney essence as the material basis, it promotes the production of Tiangui for reproductive functions. The essence is overflowing and can be leaked. When the two sexes have intercourse, they can have children. However, if you rely on the strong blood energy at this time, have sexual intercourse too early, or even have an excessive sexual life, your essence and energy will be damaged. Like a flower in the garden, it will wither before it blooms. Therefore, "Four Essentials of Health Preservation in Wan's Family Heritage" points out: "Today's men should be young, and if they are less than 28 years old, they should take care of women to pass through their semen. If the semen is not full, it will be discharged first. If the five internal organs are dissatisfied, it will be difficult to shape in the future." Disease ", and pointed out that "if the essence of the kidneys is insufficient, it will be taken from the internal organs; if the essence of the internal organs is insufficient, it will be taken from the bone marrow. Therefore, if the essence of the internal organs is exhausted, the urine will be painful, the stool will be dry, and if the marrow is exhausted, the head will be tilted, the feet will be soft, and the waist and spine will be painful. ……It can last a long time." It means that having sexual intercourse too early will affect the growth and development of other organs and even cause various diseases. my country's Song Dynasty famous Gynecology The monograph "A Complete Prescription for Women" says: "Although a man is proficient at sixteen, he will marry at thirty."； Although a woman is fourteen when Tiangui (menstrual period) arrives, she will marry when she is twenty. "The yin and yang are complete, and then she will become pregnant through intercourse, she will give birth to a child, and her son will be strong and live a long life..." “From the perspective of eugenics and nurturing, it is proposed that sexual intercourse should not be too early, as well as the age of late marriage and the benefits of late marriage. This is consistent with the spirit of the marriage age stipulated in my country's Marriage Law, which stipulates that men must not be earlier than 22 years old and women must not be earlier than 20 years old.
