jing

[Guest guest]

Jason, Brian, Z'ev, and all,

 

The effects of sex are likely one of histories more contraversial topics. Add to

that that this discussion has focused on jing depletion, which seems to be

difficult to assess in the short term, and this discussion could go on for ever

without resolve. So, it occured to me that it could be useful clinically to

focus this discussion on a few points, such as, if your patient comes in and

says that he met a new lover and has been having sex and ejaculating 6x per day

for the last week, could you diagnosis jing depletion? how? or would he be

likely to exhibit an effect consistent with his constitution? i.e. if he were

spleen qi xu he might be more fatiqued? if liver depression perhaps he feels

invigorated, etc. point being that we should be able to guide individual

patients to how much is enough, no? I recently had a patient that complained

that he has recently experienced insomnia on nights when he has ejaculated more

than once. He sleeps fine if the sex happens earlier in the day. looks to me

like heart and kidneys bu jiao, i prescribed a formula accordingly and told him

that it would best if he avoided ejaculating to the point of insomnia, something

that he assured me he had already discovered. Anyone else have any sex as it

pertains to cm patterns stories?
