In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood is the mother of Qi, & Qi is the commander of blood. One drop of semen = 10 drops of blood. Therefore, excessive masturbation may deplete one's Qi, or life force. From my personal experiences, masturbation is deemed excessive when it is habitually performed more than once a day over several days. When I overdid it, I look & feel lethargic & anaemic. I also complain of poor stamina & mental concentration, appear dazed & confused. Furthermore, I do feel faint during major workouts, esp those that involve various muscle groups from head to toe as much more blood is chanelled to the skeletal muscles, reducing the overall blood pressure. Usually, the heart is able to handle the blood pressure reduction due to vasodilation in the muscles. However, when one is anaemic, the blood pressure is already low. Thus, heart may not be able to tolerate a further reduction in blood pressure. Chronic excessive masturbation may also result in reduction in immunity as the body's resources are depleted, e.g. amino acids to synthesize antibodies against pathogens. Thus, I often experience colds & fall ill more often when i overdid it. If the deficiency is mild, e.g. cold, consuming 2 half-boiled eggs do help to replace some of my Qi to fight against the virus.
Aristotle viewed semen as "refined from food" & it parallels with the notion that a teaspoon of semen = 40 tablespoon on rice. Aristotle hypothesize that masturbation at an early age depletes the body of nourishment to drive verticle growth. Thus, masturbation should be discouraged in young boys until their vertical growth is completed, i.e. ard 18yo.
