Yogis retain do not waste their semen, which, when retained in the body, raises up the
Sisumara, corresponding with the spine (therefore straight posture is a must). It's
difficult to preserve the semen without special physical exercises. After all, sages
of the past used to say that:
1. There is nothing more difficult in this world, than retaining semen
as long as one wishes.
2. The complexity is in the fact, that the body is generating semen
constantly...
3. It is only an advanced yogi that can live without sleep.
4. If sadhaka (practitioner) is able to retain semen even for three months, then his gray
hair will become black again, wrinkles will be gone, and even new teeth will
be growing and other miracles may happen. But not a single drop can be lost.
There are still that kind of yogis in the Himalayas (ashram of Sivananda Swami in
Hrishikesh is the example).
Nevertheless, even very advanced yogis encounter with this problem. Moreover, there is even a special Urdhvareta-yoga, consisting of certain asanas, kriyas and mudras. These are quite difficult things to do, but effective enough. All these methods help to retain the juice, but the longer you do it; the more difficult it becomes, up to the point of mental deviations; therefore even most determined sadhakas are not recommended to perform it in Kali-yuga. Yogis recognize this involuntary loss of semen, as normal function, and it is not considered a falldown, but! the less often it happens, the better.
