Had my first accupuncture session

I went for my first session of accupuncture yesterday.

I have a feeling that the woman who’s treating me leans toward a ‘go lightly’ approach.

As has been mentioned before, in Chinese medicinal theory, premature ejaculation is associated with weak kidneys. Other manifestations of weak kidneys can be a lack of ambition, lack of rootedness, and other things that I can’t remember right now.

She says that she’s going to do her bit, but that I have to work myself on being rooted. Being more present in conversations, writing things down, not running away as soon as I feel uncomfortable in a situation.

I was a little annoyed because I feel that surely if the kidneys are strengthened by accupuncture, I will start to do those things naturally.

She stuck two needles in a line below my belly button. A couple in my shins, and a couple in my feet. It tickled a little bit, but that was about it.

She told me not to jerk off for at least a couple of days, and to try not to think about sex too much. I hope this works. It’s costing me £40 a pop.

I’ve got my next session next week.

Fantastic! At least somebody here in this forum appreciated Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) of accupuncturing!

Zig good luck with the treatments. How many did she say you have to have? I dont remember how many RWG said but it worked great for him.

I’m surprised she didn’t add that cumming too soon will interfere with her treatment!

My experience with acupunture is this…get a good doc…fantastic!

Get a mediocre one…worthless!

How did you pick this doc?

I met a guy who was a friend of a friend’s. He was a hodd carrier until recently. A hodd carrier is the guy on a building site who carrys bricks in a big cube over his shoulder.

He said that his back was fucked, and this woman who was a friend of his mother was a miracle worker.

It seemed serendipitous, that I should meet someone who could reccomend an accupuncturist at the time I was thinking about it.

I don’t know how to judge. :-k

Thanks 789!

She didn’t say how many treatments she recomended, but from what I’ve heard, the usual is about 5 initial treatments. A monthly treatment is usually recommended to maintain balance.

I think you need to ask that woman where she learned how to do acupuncture. I went for a ten days treatment to Belgrade, Serbia a month ago. There are no results at all! It turned out that my “acupuncturist” was a regular doctor of classic, “western” medicine who attended a short course on acupuncture, for maybe a few weeks. And he calls himself an acupuncturist. He doesn’t have a clue. Certainly, even a doctor like that can help sometimes if he’s doing a simple treatment he was told how to do.

I have now found a doctor who has graduated as a master of acupuncture in the USA. But I won’t have the time to go to Belgrade again before November. So, I have wasted time and money.

That’s true, find someone that was preferably trained in China or Taiwan. There are a lot of quacks out there when it comes to TCM.

I just had my second appointment today. The acupuncturist said that the problem is due to a weakness of energy in the kidneys. She mentioned that the body draws energy from different areas depending on the function, and ejaculation draws from the kidneys. The liver is also in the balance somehow, where a strong liver affects weaker kidneys. I’m not sure I picked it all up, as she was speaking heavily accented English. The gist of it was that my kidney energy is low due to both external factors and my body type.

The first session she placed three needles in my right ear, one in my left arm, one in my right arm, two in my legs (one apiece, below the knee) and one in my right ankle.

Today she placed 10 needles up and down the sides of my spine, then put some sort of heavy suction cup over 6 of the sites after she took the needles out.

I’m not entirely sure how many sessions she plans to have me there for, since she said it really depends on how I respond to the acupuncture and that most people respond differently. I’m going to go for at least five though, and see how things are by then. If that doesn’t work, I can always try calling another one. I’ll let you all know how it goes.

EDIT: She also gave me two bags of small pills to take everyday. She mentioned that they had some sort of potency herbs or something, that should hopefully help out a bit.

Sounds good to me.

The next thing is results…give her a month, if you don’t see significant movement in the right direction…move on.

That doesn’t mean cured in one month, but you should at least see some definite positive changes.

Great Zigga! Hope this does the trick. Looking forward to hearing the good news.

Weak kidneys= too much sex!

Well, not too much sex…too much ejaculation!

She was just too polite to tell you that. (then again, I may be wrong).

Wow, that’s kinda cool. I’ve always been interested in acupuncture. I might give it a shot some time.

Hmm, I don’t really think so. She was pretty straightforward, and said that too much sex can throw your body out of whack. She did say that some people were born that way, and others became that way as they grew older. I’m going to give her another few sessions, and if I don’t notice any difference I’ll try finding another.

Keep us updated, betastas!
