he should conserve his semen and increase his "hot" energy by
eating hot and warming and fortifying foods during winter, and

FOOD FOR SEXUAL ORGANS
During sexual intercourse a great deal of "hot chi" is released, and
anything that supplements this hot chi is considered a great help.
This means that foods that are extremely cold should be avoided
because they bring down the chi quotient of the body. On the other
hand, foods that are cold but stimulate the Kidneys can be eaten
since the Kidney is in charge of the sexual apparatus and is thus
stimulated. Examples of extremely cold foods to be avoided are:
coconut milk, mentholated wines, chrysanthemum tea, and ice
water.
Foods that provide nourishment to the entire organism are
adviseable after sexual activity, for example, muscle and organ
meats, ginger, red dates, sharks fin, swallow nest, and sea
cucumber. These are examples of tonic foods, in that they build the
energy of the body.
