Different types of men based on sexual strength:
Now, we shall explore the procedure which instantaneously produces strength in the person and enables him to have sexual intercourse with women in order to procreate children.
It is not that all men possessing strong physical strength are capable of procreating children.
There are persons having stout and strong physique who are sexually very week, there are physically lean and thin but they are very strong with women and procreate many children.
There are some persons who are weak by nature and there are others who have become weak due to diseases.
There are persons who indulge in women very frequently, like a sparrow.
There are others who, like an elephant, ejaculate lots of semen during sexual intercourse, but they do not indulge in sex too frequently.
There are persons who gain sexual vitality (only) at appropriate time (Kala Yoga).
There are others, who are capable of indulging in sex because of their regular habit and by taking aphrodisiacs
There are persons, who are divine by nature
Therefore, we shall now describe recipes which give strength to the weak, which help the strong enjoy the sex act and which add to their virility.

Vrushya definition

Definition of Vrushya – aphrodisiac, vigour enhancement:
यत् किञ्चिन्मधुरं स्निग्धं जीवनं बृंहणं गुरु|
हर्षणं मनसश्चैव सर्वं तद्वृष्यमुच्यते||३६||
द्रव्यैरेवंविधैस्तस्माद्भावितः प्रमदां व्रजेत्|
आत्मवेगेन चोदीर्णः स्त्रीगुणैश्च प्रहर्षितः||३७||

yat kiñcinmadhuraṃ snigdhaṃ jīvanaṃ bṛṃhaṇaṃ guru|
harṣaṇaṃ manasaścaiva sarvaṃ tadvṛṣyamucyate||36||
dravyairevaṃvidhaistasmādbhāvitaḥ pramadāṃ vrajet|
ātmavegena codīrṇaḥ strīguṇaiśca praharṣitaḥ||37||

Articles which are sweet, unctuous, Jivana (promoters of life), nourishing and heavy and which cause excitement of the mind- all these are called aphrodisiacs.
Therefore, a person is first of all is impregnated with these articles before sexual intercourse.
He thus, gets excited by his own urge and also by the erotic attributes of woman.

After sex regimen

गत्वा स्नात्वा पयः पीत्वा रसं वाऽनु शयीत ना|
तथाऽस्याप्यायते भूयः शुक्रं च बलमेव च||३८||
gatvā snātvā payaḥ pītvā rasaṃ vā’nu śayīta nā|
tathā’syāpyāyate bhūyaḥ śukraṃ ca balameva ca||38||
After sexual indulgence, one should take bath and drink milk or Rasa (juice or meat soup) before going to sleep.
By doing so, his semen and strength, both increase.

Right age for sex

यथा मुकुल पुष्पस्य सुगन्धो नोपलभ्यते|
लभ्यते तद्विकाशात्तु तथा शुक्रं हि देहिनाम्||३९||
नर्ते वै षोडशाद्वर्षात् सप्तत्याः परतो न च|

śuṣkaṃ rūkṣaṃ yathā kāṣṭhaṃ jantudagdhaṃ vijarjaram|
spṛṣṭamāśu viśīryeta tathā vṛddhaḥ striyo vrajan||42||

Right age for sex:
There is no fragrance in a bud. Fragrance appears only when the flower blossoms. Similarly,
A person desirous of longevity should not enter into sexual intercourse with women before the age of sixteen years and after the age of seventy years.
A young boy of very tender age does not possess all the tissue elements in their matured form. If he enters into sex act with a woman, his body gets dried up like a pond having very little water.
A piece of wood which is dried and unctuous, eaten away by insects and has become porous, gets broken immediately by a little pressure (of touch). Similarly, the body of the old man gets decayed by sexual intercourse with a woman.

Cause for diminishing sexual strength

जरया चिन्तया शुक्रं व्याधिभिः कर्म कर्षणात्|
क्षयं गच्छत्यनशनात् स्त्रीणां चातिनिषेवणात्||४३||
क्षयाद्भयादविश्रम्भाच्छोकात् स्त्रीदोष दर्शनात्|
नारीणामरसज्ञत्वाद विचारादसेवनात्||४४||
तृप्तस्यापि स्त्रियो गन्तुं न शक्तिरुपजायते|
देह सत्त्व बलापेक्षी हर्षः शक्तिश्च हर्षजा||४५||
jarayā cintayā śukraṃ vyādhibhiḥ karma karṣaṇāt|
kṣayaṃ gacchatyanaśanāt strīṇāṃ cātiniṣevaṇāt||43||
kṣayādbhayādaviśrambhācchokāt strīdoṣa darśanāt|
nārīṇāmarasajñatvāda vicārādasevanāt||44||
tṛptasyāpi striyo gantuṃ na śaktirupajāyate|
deha sattva balāpekṣī harṣaḥ śaktiśca harṣajā||45||

The sex power gets reduced b:
Jaraya – old age,
Chintya – worry, stress
Vyadhibhihi – due to diseases,
Karma Karshanaat – excessive hard work, exertion, exhaustion
Anashana – continuous fasting,
Streenam cha ati nishevanaat – excessive sexual indulgence,
Kshayat – due to depleted body tissues,
Bhayaat – fear,
Avishrambha – suspicion
Shoka – grief,
Stri Dosha Darshanaat – finding faults in women,
non-excitation and complete avoidance of sexual acts
A person, who is satisfied after sex act, does not possess power of entering into sex with the woman again. Because, this power is dependent upon excitement and excitement, in turn is dependent upon the strength of the body and the mind.

Omnipresent Shukra Dhatu

रस इक्षौ यथा दध्नि सर्पिस्तैलं तिले यथा|
सर्वत्रानुगतं देहे शुक्रं संस्पर्शने तथा||४६||
तत् स्त्रीपुरुषसंयोगे चेष्टासङ्कल्पपीडनात्|
शुक्रं प्रच्यवते स्थानाज्जलमार्द्रात् पटादिव||४७||

rasa ikṣau yathā dadhni sarpistailaṃ tile yathā|
sarvatrānugataṃ dehe śukraṃ saṃsparśane tathā||46||
tat strīpuruṣasaṃyoge ceṣṭāsaṅkalpapīḍanāt|
śukraṃ pracyavate sthānājjalamārdrāt paṭādiva||47||

Omnipresent Shukra Dhatu:
The entire sugarcane plant is filled with its sweet juice. Ghee is available in the whole of curd and oil is available in all parts of the sesame seed. Similarly, semen pervades the entire body which has the sensation of touch.
As water comes out of a wet cloth when squeezed, similarly, the semen trickles out from its site during copulation, because of sexual act (Chesta), determination (Sankalpa) and physical pressure (Peedana).

Factors contributing to ejaculation

हर्षात्तर्षात् सरत्वाच्च पैच्छिल्याद्गौरवादपि|
अणुप्रवणभावाच्च द्रुतत्वान्मारुतस्य च||४८||
अष्टाभ्य एभ्यो हेतुभ्यः शुक्रं देहात् प्रसिच्यते|
चरतो विश्वरूपस्य रूपद्रव्यं यदुच्यते||४९||
harṣāttarṣāt saratvācca paicchilyādgauravādapi|
aṇupravaṇabhāvācca drutatvānmārutasya ca||48||
aṣṭābhya ebhyo hetubhyaḥ śukraṃ dehāt prasicyate|
carato viśvarūpasya rūpadravyaṃ yaducyate||49||

The semen is ejaculated because of 8 factors, namely,
Harshaat – excitement
Tarshaat – passionate desire
Saratvaat – fluidity
Paicchillya – sliminess
Gaurava – heaviness
Anu Bhava (Atomicity)
Pravana Bhava(the tendency to flow out) and
The force of Vata Dosha.
The unmanifested soul which takes different forms in this world, manifest itself in the form of semen. [46-49]

बहलं मधुरं स्निग्धमविस्रं गुरु पिच्छिलम्|
शुक्लं बहु च यच्छुक्रं फलवत्तदसंशयम्||५०||
bahalaṃ madhuraṃ snigdhamavisraṃ guru picchilam|
śuklaṃ bahu ca yacchukraṃ phalavattadasaṃśayam||50||

व्रजेच्चाभ्यधिकं येन वाजीकरणमेव तत्||५१||
yena nārīṣu sāmarthyaṃ vājīvallabhate naraḥ|
