Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman. You're listening to Science Versus. Today on the show, we're pitting facts against fapping. That's right. With No Nut November just around the corner, we thought it was a great time to ask, what are the benefits of saving your seed and not ejaculating?
And this is something that former tax accountant and current comedian and also my friend, Saren Jayamana, has been curious about for a little while now. Hi, Saren.
Hello.
How do you feel about being introduced as a sort of semen retention curious?
Oh, I thought you were going to say as a former tax accountant. Yeah, that's correct.
Now, for those who are uninitiated, semen retention, I've now become very familiar with this term, but it basically means you retain your semen, you keep it in, you don't release it.
Yes.
When did you start getting curious about semen retention?
Well, yes, I guess more recently as I've sort of delved into like meditation and more kind of yoga stuff. Well, I would say Tantra type stuff, which is like Hindu kind of, I guess, philosophy. And Tantra in the West, we think of it as very sex oriented, but it's actually just kind of like ritualistic ways to build meditation and practice that kind of stuff.
