Nikola Tesla And Semen Retention: Did Tesla Practice Semen Retention?

Last Updated on September 16, 2024 by The Unbounded Thinker

Nikola Tesla, mainly referred to as a genius who made the great discoveries that shaped the modern world, was a Serbian American inventor and engineer.

Many people claim that Nikola Tesla’s passion for learning, solitary lifestyle, and work ethic were responsible for his contributions. However, some people believe that semen retention was a key factor in his extraordinary contributions. This belief originated from the observation that semen retention boosts brain health and function.

Nikola Tesla’s lifestyle and his remarks on women and sex imply that he might have practiced semen retention. Nikola Tesla never got married and he had little interest in romantic relationships. He avoided romantic encounters and prevented himself from thinking about sex and romantic relationships with women.

His attitude toward sex and women worried his friends, who believed he compared women to the biblical Delilah, capable of stripping him of his intellectual power and focus. They feared that he was trapped in a mindset that perceived women as beings that must be avoided or resisted because they were a big threat to his intellectual strength.

Generally, it is agreed that Nikola Tesla avoided romantic relationships because he believed they would lead to marriage, which he considered a great impediment to making great inventions. His remark, ‘I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men,’ proves that he believed marriage could prevent him from devoting more time and energy to science: the love of his life.

When asked about sex, Nikola Tesla said; “I recognize the importance that sex plays in the life of man. Nature has made its attraction irresistible to insure the perpetuity of the race. As for myself, I have found that the thinker is confronted with the problem of perpetuating either the species or the mind. It is almost impossible, at least in certain realms of high endeavor, to do both. This has been recognized by the Hindus, whose adepts practise complete sexual abstinence, and by many of the great religions.”

This comment indicates that Nikola Tesla had studied the idea of semen retention so extensively that he discovered that it strengthens the mind. In other words, he realized that semen retention increases intellectual capacity. The comment shows that he had studied the idea of semen retention in many religions and stumbled upon the Hindu concept of Brahmacharya, which generally refers to a lifestyle characterized by the renunciation of sex and marriage.

Besides this comment, many other factors prove that Tesla loved Hinduism, a religion that highly promotes semen retention. For instance, he loved studying Buddhism, a philosophical tradition that emerged from Hinduism.

He also attended Swami Vivekananda’s lectures. Swami Vivekananda was a hindu monk who highly promoted semen retention in the 20th century. He believed semen retention resulted in gigantic intellectual power because seminal energy rises to the brain when not depleted through sex or masturbation.

Nikola Tesla believed this purpoted impact of seminal energy on the brain. He said, ‘Before I produced the rotating magnetic field, I concentrated all my powers upon my experiment. The strain would have killed a hundred oxen. I certainly could not have survived it if I had permitted my energies to be diverted into the channels of sex.’ He knew that sexual intercourse results in the massive loss of seminal energy, which rises to the brain and results in heightened mental abilities when conserved by avoiding ejaculation.

Nikola Tesla also knew that semen contains minerals that boost brain health and function. He knew that the brain’s abilities improve greatly when ejaculation is avoided because these minerals become available to it. For this reason, he denied himself sexual pleasure.

As you have seen, Nikola Tesla’s lifestyle and comments on sex and marriage imply that he practiced semen retention and understood its impact on the intellect. However, it is wrong to solely attribute his discoveries to semen retention since many factors such as destiny, a solitary lifestyle, and intense focus can result in extraordinary inventions. Besides, many geniuses have made extraordinary inventions despite marrying.

Nevertheless, it is safe to assume that semen retention played a huge role in making Nikola Tesla the genius who lit the world because several spiritual and scientific facts indicate that sexual abstinence enhances cognitive abilities.
