The Truth About the Million Dollar Point in Tantra for Men

There’s a great deal of misinformation around the Million Dollar Point, particularly in how it’s used to prevent ejaculation when working with Tantra for men. Commonly referenced in Taoist traditions, the point lies between the anus and the scrotum, and when activated correctly, it can support ejaculation control and the redirection of sexual energy.

However, this isn’t just a mechanical trick. And it is not something to be casually experimented with—especially for men carrying unprocessed trauma, congestion, or blockages in the pelvic region.

Misunderstandings About Ejaculation Control

Popularised by Taoist master Mantak Chia in The Multi-Orgasmic Man, the Million Dollar Point is part of the “three-finger lock” technique used to inhibit ejaculation and redirect life force energy upward.

Yet for many beginners, forcing this practice without proper preparation can be harmful. The body may not yet be ready to circulate sexual energy beyond the base, and applying pressure to force that process can create even more energetic resistance. In some cases, it can even cause physical injury, like ruptured capillaries or haematuria (blood in the urine).

What Actually Happens When You Retain Semen?

Many fear the idea of "backflow" or stagnation when semen is not released. In truth, the body reabsorbs it—a view supported by both modern urologists and ancient Taoist understanding. That said, retention is not the end goal. It’s part of a wider, more profound process of energetic refinement.

One practice I recommend to all men—regardless of retention—is daily scrotum stretching, which supports healthy blood and energy flow through the area.

When Is It Safe to Use the Million Dollar Point?

In my personal and professional experience, the million-dollar point is not dangerous when approached correctly.

I have guided hundreds of men through deep energetic healing before introducing this point. The key is to first resolve trauma and stagnation in the lower chakras—often caused by guilt, shame, repression, or conditioning. Only once those roots have been gently tended to do I introduce this technique as a way to help the body experience the sensation of energy rising.

This Is Not Just Physical—It’s Emotional & Spiritual

Tantric work with men is not about controlling orgasm or suppressing ejaculation. It is about liberating energy. When used too early, pressing this point can actually cause more tension than freedom.

This is why I always begin with a trauma-informed approach:

• Listening to the body

• Restoring sensitivity and trust

• Allowing full emotional expression

• Rebuilding intimacy from the inside out

Only then do we explore techniques like the Million Dollar Point—not as a goal, but as a doorway into a deeper experience of self.

Working with the Central Channel

The ultimate aim is not to block energy but to open the Sushumna—the central energy channel through which Kundalini (life force) naturally ascends. When the lower energy centers are cleared and healed, the orgasm no longer explodes outward—it rises, expanding through the body, mind, and heart.

A Final Word on Tantra for Men

This is sacred work. It is not about performing a technique. It is about creating safety, surrender, and deep energetic remembrance in the masculine body.

I often support men through hands-on work, gently guiding them to the edge of ejaculation and showing their body a new way—one where energy is circulated, not expelled. This is a process. A tender journey of becoming.
