The other day i was watching videos on youtube and and saw a guy talk about the way taoists used to méditate and practice nofap as a way to transform the sexual energy.
What book would you recommend to learn more about this kind of practice and taoism in general?
Also sexual health books general, as long as we cure ourselves from the degenerated environnement we live in.

You can always read the Tao Te Ching to learn Taoism. I don't know where you ca learn about the history though.
Taoists practiced semen retention because they believed that the semen was a man's life force and by ejaculating too frequently he was losing his vitality and getting closer to death.

thanks man i really feel like the solution to the sexually stunned and porn addicted people, like me, lies in some kind of mystic or spiritual interpretation of our bodies and mind.
What do you think ?

not really, it lies in self-control which takes effort but you dont want to do that so youd rather believe that you need the help of a deity, causing your failure to fall on their lack of help rather than your own inadequacy
