Pythagoras

  • Pythagoras advocated continence as a practice of utmost physiological value both to body and brain, for he considered the semen as 'the flower of the purest blood,'1

  • Pythagoras taught that there was a direct connection between the semen and the brain and that loss of semen weakens the brain, while its conservation improves brain's nutrition, since the substances thus conserved act as brain nutrients 2
