Ejaculation Control and Mental, Spiritual, and Physical Health Part 6
Ejaculation, Cancer, and Modern Medical Research
Until very recently, modern Western medical science was remarkably silent, even prudish, about sexual research. It took a thousand years of puritanical repression and ignorance in the West before Dr. Alfred Kinsey appeared at Indiana University in 1935 to give his first academic lecture on human sexual behavior. In 1948, he began to publish the now famous Kinsey reports; one of the best selling scientific reports of all time, even rising to the top of the bestseller lists of the day.
Still, funding for sex research does not appear to be a tremendously high priority in the West, even today. Unless, of course it can result in a new, pricey pharmaceutical being patented. Most Western medical researchers seem to want to dismiss traditional Oriental research and wisdom, preferring to retain a sort of academic xenophobia that skews their paradigm. A good example is the relative prevalence of research into Qigong in China. There are many research projects, published studies, and hospitals that specialize in medical qigong in China, and almost none in the U.S.
Excluding data because it was gathered painstakingly over thousands of years by Taoist scientists in another country can only stunt and distort any hypothesis built on such a skewed data set. This leads to slow and muddled progress. At best.
Like today’s current proponents of celibacy as a form of teenage birth control, many in the West have adhered to old wives tales about the dangers sexual expression in general and of masturbation in particular. Blindness, hirsute palms, disease, moral turpitude, even damnation, were sure to afflict the practitioner. It wasn’t until April 2004 that the Leitzmann study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, on the risk-benefit of ejaculation was published by JAMA, the Journal of The American Medical Association. © 2009 Keith Hall and inner-tranquility.com.
