The Healing Powers of the Orgasm
As a Holistic Health Practitioner I am always fascinated with the human body, how it works, how it heals it’s self and how to assist that healing process. Over the years I have had several clients who suffered from chronic conditions such as; migraines, headaches, back problems, digestive or menstrual problems. While I was able to give them more relief than western medicine, many reported that the most relief they ever experienced was during and after sex. This amazed me, I knew sex was a great stress relief and felt good but how could it relieve such pain that even strong narcotics like Demerol couldn’t help? I had to find out if there was really something to it. I have spent several years researching other cultures, spirituality, religions, and the latest in modern western science as well as conducting my own experiments to understand this further. In this research I have had many eye opening experiences and found a long history and wealth of information in regards to the healing powers of the human orgasm.
Before going into this any further let me state that there is a difference between ejaculation and orgasm. Ejaculating for men is the release of sperm and seminal fluid. Ejaculating for women is the release of prostate fluid. Yes women have a prostate, it is more commonly called the G-Spot. Orgasms are a build up and release of energy that flows throughout the body and energy field. Most of the time we reach orgasm when ejaculating, I want you to understand that they are two separate things that can be done together or independent of each together. And yes, men can orgasm without ejaculating. Eastern beliefs state that when you ejaculate you are losing precious energy and the overall goal is to achieve orgasm without ejaculation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the sexual energies are stored in and produced by the kidneys. Each time you ejaculate you loss that energy which cannot be regained. When you can achieve orgasm without ejaculating then those energies are consolidated and re-circulated throughout the body. I am referring to achieving the state of orgasm, whether you ejaculate or not. If you only ejaculate it will not have the same healing effect. Also within Eastern beliefs it is felt that if you ejaculate often it will affect your overall health due to low kidney energy. I know there is much discussion about female ejaculation, but I am not able to find any reference in Chinese Medicine for women losing any kidney or other energy from sex because the discovery of the female prostate is fairly new. My personal feeling is that if kidney energy is needed for the male prostate it would be for females as well. So while both sexes can orgasm as many times as possible without draining their energy, I feel ejaculating can drain your energy for both men and women. However, most of the vital energy goes to producing sperm and only some to prostate. So women would not loss as much as men. We do know for sure that women lose their vital energy during menstruation and pregnancy. Although in Tantra it is believed that anyone can lose their sexual energy and I have found this to be true. If you are completely exhausted after sex then you are extending your energy outwardly and not inward. If you properly build and circulate your sexual energy then you will feel energized and blissful afterwards.
I will start with the rational and scientific information. Most of us know that when we have an orgasm our pituitary and other glands release several neurotransmitters, neuro-peptides and hormones. We usually refer to it as an endorphin rush. Our bodies are the most complex and efficient pharmaceutical producers that exist. Nitric oxide, serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, testosterone, oxytocin, adrenalin, cortisol, and pheromones are just a few of the chemicals our bodies produce and release during sexual arousal and orgasms. Most of the chemicals listed above, we know as feel good hormones. They are highly responsible for relieving pain, keeping us in a stable and good mood, have strong anti-oxidant and anti-aging effects, helps us sleep soundly and has other positive benefits for our mind and body. It is easy to see that having sex and achieving an orgasm floods the body with so many natural pain killers and mood lifters so how could we not feel good and be relieved of our pains and worries?
Yet, there is still more to it. Modern science now knows that our thoughts dictate how we feel. When we feel good and we are having a positive day our glands release neurotransmitters and hormones that send signals telling our cells in our body that we are happy and feel good. When we are in pain or in a bad mood our glands send neurotransmitters that relay those messages to every cell too. Have you ever felt unwell and then watched a funny movie or been around friends or family and had a really good time laughing to later notice that you feel better? The saying “laughter is the best medicine” couldn’t be more true. Not only laughter but any kind of joy or pleasure is the best medicine to heal the mind and body naturally. Even when we are in a great amount of pain, if we are able to distract ourselves, find something funny or joyful long enough for our brain and glands to release all of those chemicals into our bodies, we can shift the pain and discomfort to joy and feeling well. Bio feedback is a way of treating chronic pain by helping you to learn to put your focus on something other than the pain and in doing so the pain is decreased and can even go away completely. But I have found that when you combine shifting your attention away from the pain to something that makes you happy and even better something that brings you pleasure the effect is much greater. We only shift back to the pain when we turn our focus to it again. In cases where the pain is chronic and long term it can take several times and longer periods of joy to shift the physical body and completely heal it, but it can be done. One thing I have definitely learned is that there is nothing the human body can’t do. It is designed to heal its self. Every cell in our body is replaced with new cells over time. So there is no reason our bodies can’t just replace old damaged or diseased cells with healthy new cells. Think about it. Our bodies can mend broken bones, heal deep cuts, and if part of our liver is removed it can re-grow that part. We can fight off any disease. Many people have defied all knowledge of modern medicine by surviving a disease when every doctor said they wouldn’t. So why would we not think our body is capable of healing its self in any and every way?
Now let’s take that concept much deeper into energy and spiritually. Everything around us and in us is energy. Even Albert Einstein said all matter is made of energy. Breaking anything down to its atoms they are made of protons and electrons. Protons and electrons are energy, so everything in its purest and simplest form is energy. Everything you can see, touch, and taste are all made of energy. Every cell in our body is made of energy. Even things you can’t see or feel, sound and even thoughts are energy. All energy has a vibration. Actually it is more accurate to say that energy is a vibration and every kind of energy vibrates at a certain frequency which is what determines its structure or properties. Water being made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom has its own vibration which makes all of the properties that water possesses. Energies can also change and shift vibrations. Water is an easy example to understand and it so easily shifts from one state to another. If you freeze water it becomes ice and changes from a fluid state to a solid. The atoms are then vibrating at a different frequency. If you boil water it becomes steam, once again you are shifting its frequency to a different state or vibration. Over all it is still water and still has one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms but its vibration has been influenced by heat or coldness. All things are energy, including emotions and thoughts, they can be influenced as well. Here is a more personal example. Have you ever been around someone who was really angry or negative and after a short time of being around them you started to feel irritable or even angry? Your energy was influenced by the other person’s energy that they so strongly project. This means that energy can influence other energies into vibrating at its frequency. Now let’s pertain this to an orgasm and healing. If we are feeling pleasure and joy then our thoughts and every cell of our body is vibrating at those frequencies. When we are in pain, angry or feeling negative in any way our thoughts and cells are vibrating in those negative frequencies. Whenever we are feeling positive or negative for any period of time those vibrations will begin to shift the vibrations of our cells changing their physical structure. Disease is just that; cells vibrating an un-natural vibration, damaging the cell and other cells around it. Cancer is simply damaged cells vibrating in a way that they multiply faster than healthy cells, or their vibration shifts the vibration of the healthy cells around it to vibrating in a frequency that makes the other healthy cells unhealthy and abnormal.
Let’s go back to using water for an example. Since it is so easily influenced, a group of Japanese scientist headed by Dr. Masaru Emoto did several experiments with water. This research started out to determine how pollution and the environment affected our water. They started by seeing how water crystallized from freezing it. They used distilled water so there would be no influence by chemicals or other minerals. The water froze in a specific hexagon shaped crystal every time. With a base example they started collecting water samples from all over and watched how each sample formed crystals. They of course found that polluted water wouldn’t form complete crystals or crystallize at all. They also discovered that water from purer places like the Antarctica and rural Canada gave incredibly beautiful crystals. Imagine the most beautiful snowflakes you can imagine. It also amazed them that water from sacred or religious areas formed incredibly beautiful crystals. Far different than expected, considering physically there was no difference between water samples and basic ground water taken nearby. Could the vibration of that exact location or the vibration of everyone visiting those areas change the energy of the water? To explore deeper they decided to play music to samples of distilled water. They knew exactly how distilled water should crystallize. So would the sound vibrations of different kinds of music shift the vibration of water? It did and with incredible shifts and changes. Each kind of music created different crystals. An example; when they played Heart Break Hotel by Elvis, the crystal never completely formed together, always leaving one part not connected appearing broken or cracked like a broken heart. They did several more experiments using images, words and prayers each giving incredible results. Anything negative formed broken crystals or didn't crystalize at all. Anything positive produced beautiful crystals. I highly suggest you read his book Messages from Water. Now think about this. Our body consist of 80% water. So if water is so easily influenced by environment, sounds, images, words, prayer, positive and negative thoughts, then how easily can our body shift just from the water in our body shifting? What are we doing to ourselves when we look in the mirror and think or say negative things about ourselves? How strong are the words we use to each other? Every word has a vibration, intent has an even stronger vibration. So when we say hurtful or demeaning things to someone, even if it is done as a joke, it has a real impact. It will without a doubt have a negative effect on the mind, body and soul. So what if we change our words before anyone hears them and what if we change our thoughts before we project them outwardly? Men and women sometimes forget to give compliments to their spouse, family or friends. We forget to say "I love you" and tell those close to us how much we love and appreciate them. We feel they already know so we don't need to say it. But not only is it nice to hear positive things it will improve our well being, our state of mind and overall general health and happiness. So, next time you think someone already knows you love them, say it anyway for their health and well being and as well as yours. Most definitely say positive things while making love!
Ok, I was off on a little tangent there towards the end of that last paragraph. Now traveling deeper into energy I would like to talk about one of the main laws of the universe. That is the law of attraction, similar energies attract other similar energies. This means that something that vibrates at a certain frequency will attract other energies that vibrate at the same or similar frequency. Basically when we think something and have strong emotions projecting those vibrations of thought out around us, we are energically attracting other energies with the same vibration back to us. So when we wake up, feel good and excited to start our day we send out that positive vibration and people and experiences that match those positive energies are attracted to us and become part of our day and experience. When we wake up hurting, in a bad mood, tired or not wanting to face the day, then we project those vibrations out to our surroundings and attract other people who are negative that day and experiences that continue to feed those negative feelings. We run late, get stuck in traffic, have car problems, nothing goes right at work, boss comes down on you. There is no escaping that everything is energy. That is basic science. We now know that energy can shift and change from the influence of other energies and like energies are magnetically attracted to each other. I could go much deeper into this but that is a rabbit hole that can continue on and on and I have already rambled quite a bit and have much more to share. If you would like to understand these concepts more look into Jerry & Ester Hicks and their teachings of Abraham, The Secret, What the Bleep or simply google Law of Attraction.
I know I haven’t even mentioned orgasms for the last few paragraphs and if you are wondering how all of these topics relate to orgasms being able to heal the body, mind and soul, I will summarizes everything here. We know that when we feel good our brain and glands produce chemicals that send messages to every cell in our body telling them that we feel good, this has healing effects on our cells. At the same time our thoughts vibrate throughout our bodies vibrating every cell to match our thoughts. Those same thoughts also vibrate all of the water in our body shifting the vibration of that water to match our thoughts. Finally our thoughts and energy radiate from our bodies to our surrounding environment and out into the universe attracting other like energies. All of this has a huge potential to heal diseased or damaged cells in our bodies, stimulate circulation of blood and energy throughout our bodies and stimulate production of new healthy cells. So what makes the healing power of orgasms stronger than just positive thinking? It is the intensity, focus and passion during an orgasm that has such healing powers. It is often one of the very few times that most of us are completely present and in the moment. We are not worried about bills, what we need to get from the store, how we look and all those little or big things that weigh on us in our day to day lives. You might have sex with some of those thoughts on your mind, but once you reach orgasm I doubt you are thinking anything else other then how it feels. Then for that moment there is nothing but pure pleasure, joy and often ecstasy running though every cell in our body. It only takes a moment when the energy is that pure, focused and passionate to make positive changes in the body. In fact that ability alone to be completely present 'in moment' has amazing power to change every part of your life for the better. The main goal of meditation is to be completely present. It is referred to as falling into or finding the gap. There are all kinds of books on being in present moment or being in the now, how it can shift every aspect of your life.The more often we can be completely in the now and make it last longer, the more we shift our cells into completely healthy and a youthful body.
Now I hope you understand that having a quickie is not going to cure your chronic conditions. To have the most affect the love making or even just sex needs to involve the mind, body, spirit and all of our senses. It should be relaxed with no time or agenda other than to give and receive pleasure and joy. Tantra is an excellent way to enhance and prolong the feeling of orgasms. In fact that is one of the main focuses of Tantra. Another focus is to bring in the Devine and sacredness into sex making it a celebration and merger of the physical and the Devine with our partner, ourselves and God. Practicing these principles of Tantra can truly help you reach ecstasy and maintain that feeling over longer periods from hours, days, weeks and longer. If we accomplish this our body will be as healthy as it can be. In addition, Tantra also works with specifically building the sexual energy (Kundalini) and releasing it up our spine and all 7 Chakras, filling the entire body. This is called a full body orgasm and has it's own positive and healing effect on the body. There is so much more to discuss about Tantra and its practices that I cannot go any further into it here. If you have not already, please read my page on Tantra when you are finished with this page, come to one of my workshops or ask me questions on my blog.
Aside from Tantra I can suggest that when you have an orgasm try to relax your body and let that feeling flow though you. Imagine it flowing in waves up your spine and though every cell. Imagine that feeling going from your pelvis to your toes and to the top of your head. It is common for people to tighten and tense their body because the feeling is so intense, but that constricts the flow of the energy and circulation, just try to relax, let your body move freely and enjoy feeling it fill your body and savor it like fine food and wine lingering on your taste buds. As you are savoring it, know that every cell is celebrating with joy and vibrating at its highest vibration and shifting into completely healthy cells. Massage can also assist your body in relaxing and allowing the blood and energy to flow freely. The more relaxed and open your body and mind is, the more easily you can achieve orgasm and the more intense the experience will be. This will also allow you to maintain that feeling for longer periods. So now we know that sex not only feels good and can be a good stress relief, but it also has the ability to shift your physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual state of being too.
Here is an interesting fact that I didn’t mention earlier because I could not find any records describing actual results. In the 1800’s mid to late Victorian era doctors would massage the clitoris of women who suffered from depression, anxiety, PMS, fainting spells, fatigue, and any emotions or mental stress or conditions. In fact, some doctors used this for any condition between the neck and knees. The doctors would massage the women’s clitoris until they reached orgasm. I tried to find something that listed results of these treatments but wasn’t able to find any. But, I did find a few articles that stated doctors were so busy doing clitoral massages that the doctors started getting carpal tunnel and were not able to see all of their patients because they were so busy. This is actually how the vibrator was invented. A doctor invented the vibrator as a way to relieve the stress on his hands and to help the women achieve orgasm quicker. Even though I cannot find records of the results of these treatments, though it makes you think that there had to be good results for there to be such a demand for such treatments. These were extremely conservative times, especially for women. The treatments were not considered sexual because there was no penetration, but the women would not have been allowed to go for regular treatments if there was not an improvement in their conditions. It makes me wonder; if Tantra and Sex Therapy were part of the medical system and gave treatments of pleasure to those who needed them, would this be a healthier and happier world?
Before going into this any further let me state that there is a difference between ejaculation and orgasm. Ejaculating for men is the release of sperm and seminal fluid. Ejaculating for women is the release of prostate fluid. Yes women have a prostate, it is more commonly called the G-Spot.

So now we know that sex not only feels good and can be a good stress relief, but it also has the ability to shift your physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual state of being too.
Here is an interesting fact that I didn’t mention earlier because I could not find any records describing actual results. In the 1800’s mid to late Victorian era doctors would massage the clitoris of women who suffered from depression, anxiety, PMS, fainting spells, fatigue, and any emotions or mental stress or conditions. In fact, some doctors used this for any condition between the neck and knees. The doctors would massage the women’s clitoris until they reached orgasm. I tried to find something that listed results of these treatments but wasn’t able to find any. But, I did find a few articles that stated doctors were so busy doing clitoral massages that the doctors started getting carpal tunnel and were not able to see all of their patients because they were so busy. This is actually how the vibrator was invented. A doctor invented the vibrator as a way to relieve the stress on his hands and to help the women achieve orgasm quicker. Even though I cannot find records of the results of these treatments, though it makes you think that there had to be good results for there to be such a demand for such treatments. These were extremely conservative times, especially for women. The treatments were not considered sexual because there was no penetration, but the women would not have been allowed to go for regular treatments if there was not an improvement in their conditions. It makes me wonder; if Tantra and Sex Therapy were part of the medical system and gave treatments of pleasure to those who needed them, would this be a healthier and happier world?
