Ancient Sex Scroll’s Guidance Might Boost Longevity, Experts Suggest

Specialists have suggested that an ancient ‘sex scroll’ may hold the secrets to a long life.

For most of us, living a long, healthy, and happy life is a common desire. This is especially true for Bryan Johnson, a biohacker who has invested over $2 million in his pursuit of immortality.

Away from unusual and expensive medical trials, researchers have recently uncovered a 1,000-year-old Japanese manuscript suggesting that certain bedroom intimacy practices might be key to promoting longevity.

The Imperial Family of Japan and their physicians have safeguarded the 30 sacred scrolls known as the Ishinhō, which translates to the ‘heart of medical prescription,’ as reported by The New York Post, for many generations. Current scientists believe these scrolls could contain valuable ancient knowledge.

The scrolls unveil a comprehensive lifestyle approach, emphasizing the importance of herbs and nutrition for a long life and a fulfilling sex life. Scroll 28, in particular, describes the creation and preservation of the life force, jingqi.

Scholar Denis Noble has highlighted that the texts focus on the idea that the human body operates as an ‘integrated communicative system’.

Contemporary research seems to support the notion of sex as medicine, having identified telomeres, which cap the end of DNA strands, as a reliable indicator of biological age.

Expanding telomeres is believed to potentially reverse the aging process.

Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan and co-founder of the Oxford Longevity Project, expressed to the outlet: “All we need to do is find something that activates telomeres.

“One of those things is sexual intimacy,” she noted. “And it’s that meditative state that couples can achieve by synchronizing their breath, heartbeat, and eye contact. This can actually increase the telomeres.”

Engaging in bedroom activities can also enhance the presence of the anti-inflammatory hormone, oxytocin, which Kenny states aids ‘wound healing and immune function’, contributing to a prolonged life.

Furthermore, she mentions that intimacy can act as a stress reliever and help ‘better regulate our emotions’.

“Physical affection triggers a release of endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, all of which contribute to emotional bonding, elevated mood, and reduced inflammation,” she highlighted.

A 1997 study involving 900 men aged 45 to 59 discovered that those with frequent sexual activity had a significantly lower premature mortality rate by 50 percent.

However, the Ishinhō Scroll 28 advises limiting ejaculation, suggesting that excessive sperm release could negatively impact a man’s life and potentially speed up aging.

Kenny concurs, advising men to be cautious about frequent ejaculation.

She clarified: “When a man ejaculates, he actually depletes his body of testosterone, which the Eastern sages have referred to as a ‘man’s essence.’ Studies have shown that immediately after ejaculation, a man’s testosterone levels decrease.

“The more this occurs, the more his testosterone levels drop. Additionally, he loses spermidine.”

She added: “Sperm also contains vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione, which is the body’s master antioxidant, and zinc,” Kenny explained. “There are many essential minerals and antioxidants that a man loses, so he must replenish with these other nutrients.”
