Isn the withholding of semen damaging to the prostate gland?
This objection comes from western medicine. The idea is that semen will remain in the prostate gland if it’s not ejaculated, and that the prostate will after every intercourse remain expanded for some time, which through repetition may cause problems with that organ and the functions connected with it. Tantra techniques also include some practices for strengthening the prostate gland. These exercises develop flexibility and the strength of the prostate gland and after every intercourse bring it back to the normal state.
