Semen Retention in Nature

N/B-THE INFORMATION SHARED IN THIS ARTICLE COMES WORD-FOR-WORD FROM MY BOOK, THE MAGIC OF SEMEN RETENTION. IF YOU WILL ENJOY THIS EXCERPT, YOU CAN GET THE COMPLETE BOOK ON LULU AT THIS LINK. I am willing to discuss semen retention and other topics for free (only through WhatsApp texts) with whoever supports my work by buying the book.

If you study male animals, you’ll realize that most of them practice semen retention. You’ll find that male animals desire sex only when their female counterparts are in heat. For instance, our best friend, the dog, only desires sex when female dogs are in heat. For this reason, dogs only have sex or mate a few times a year because many bitches or female dogs come into heat either once or twice a year. When the female dogs are not in heat, the male dogs only focus on eating, playing, protecting their territory, and asserting dominance. The male dogs even become aggressive toward unfamiliar female dogs that are not in heat.

Besides male dogs, bulls only desire sex and prefer to stay close to cows when they are in heat. Like many animals, cows and dogs only have sex a few times a year because they rarely mate when their female counterparts are pregnant. Bulls and dogs can have sex several times if they are used for breeding purposes and are exposed to many females in heat by humans. I have heard farmers claiming that their male animals become weak and even die when they are allowed to mate frequently with their female counterparts who are in heat. I think this is due to the fact that male animals only focus on mating and reduce food and water intake when they find a female in heat.

In the wild, many animals only have sex when their female counterparts are in heat. Furthermore, it is difficult for young or weak male animals to mate since they are always chased away by the strong dominant males who mate with several females. This is nature’s way of ensuring young and weak males accumulate the life force energy and focus on eating so that they grow into strong males that can protect females and resources, and can father healthy offspring.

It appears that nature designed animals to only have sex infrequently because it designed sex to be detrimental to their physical health. Sex is physically exhausting to animals and it diverts focus from other crucial survival activities such as hunting and foraging. This infrequent sexual activity ensures that animals’ life force energy is primarily utilized for survival, that is, guarding their territories, fighting off rivals, and looking for food.

Additionally, the infrequent mating prevents the possibility of overpopulation and ensures that offspring are born during times of abundance, increasing their chances of survival. This natural regulation of sexual activity shows the importance of conserving energy for essential survival functions and maintaining ecological balance.

The low frequency of mating activities in the animal kingdom also allows animals to remain vigilant and responsive to environmental threats. In the wild, where danger is ever-present, the distraction involved in looking for a mate, fighting for mates, and mating can lead to death. Many antelopes and wildebeests are easily killed by predators when they are focused on mating activities. Staying vigilant and having the physical and mental capacity to react swiftly can, therefore, mean the difference between life and death in the wild.

Nature really values semen retention so much that it designed some animals to mate only once in their lifetime. The Pacific Salmon, are an example of such animals. They avoid mating until they fully develop into adults. When they are fully developed, they return to their home stream where they die shortly after spawning due to the depletion of their life force energy. I think this strategy reduces the risk of predation and environmental challenges that could affect multiple reproductive attempts, ensuring that all available energy is devoted to the next generation.
