Why did Taoists develop this technique?
·        More than three thousand years ago the Chinese already made a distinction between orgasm and ejaculation. They believed men would be multi orgasmic if they learned how to come without ejaculating.
·        Their basic assumption was that every expulsion of semen from a man’s body was to weaken him and endanger his health. So they invented techniques to orgasm without ejaculating, thus improving their health and the chances of a longer life. There is however no evidence that ejaculation is unhealthy.
·        Guys who practise the finger lock often combine this with other ancient techniques (like special breathing exercises) to develop a more full-bodied, less genital centred sexuality.
