Are there any studies that sexual activities do affect chess? Or are y’all just making stuff up?

Is this only sex with someone else, or when you have “alone time”❓

Kundalini Yoga in its essence is the most dangerous form of yoga. I am saying dangerous because it is the most potent also. What is most potent is always the most dangerous if improperly handled. For example, there are various kinds of ways in which electricity is being produced. One of the ways we do it is through nuclear reactors. It is the most efficient way of producing energy that we know right now but it is also the most dangerous way, isn’t it? When things are going right, it is the easiest and best way to produce energy on the planet. When things go wrong, they go seriously wrong in ways that you can’t fix it. Similarly with Kundalini Yoga, it is the most potent and it is the most dangerous. Without the necessary preparation, without constant, expert guidance and observation, no one should ever attempt it. But the problem is books have been written about it and everybody wants to do the highest yoga. Nobody wants to start with "A", everybody wants to start the alphabet with "Z". This attitude itself is dangerous.- https://isha.sadhguru.org/yoga/yoga-articles-yoga/kundalini-yoga-beneficial-or-dangerous/ The same attitude is dangerous in chess.

Most of those posting here have no direct, personal knowledge of the subject. That is, their chess skills are quite weak.

In Hinduism, Kundalini (Sanskrit: कुण्डलिनी, romanized: kuṇḍalinī, lit. 'coiled snake', pronunciation (help·info)) is a form of divine feminine energy (or Shakti) believed to be located at the base of the spine, in the muladhara.


Why do you call it feminine energy? Hatha Yoga is a form of martial arts and if as you say, Kundalini Yoga is one of its bases, that would not make sense. The Osho (Rajneesh) sect my brother was connected with did two forms of yoga, one being Kundalini, I think, in the big warehouse at Chalk Farm. I used to go down for the Sunday meditation while my brother was abroad somewhere. 

I crossed Pakistan, part of the way travelling with an Israeli army officer, for company, in Jan 76. We went to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and I stayed there three days. In that time he taught me the basics of Hatha Yoga, before I went down to Goa and then on to Mysore City. Something happened to me and I transformed in the next few months and became more able to direct psychic energy as and how I wanted. But I was 24 and some of the change would just be growing up. There was a barrier I had to break through first. An impenetrable one, in the form of a bottomless chasm. I found that the way across was by self-sacrifice in its proper sense, as in forgetting the self entirely in giving my power to another who needed it most, in a dream.

Looking back, I had learned that the way is not to hoard anything (including survival) but to give it freely, which sets up a cycle or flow of energy, whereby one always attracts to oneself what one needs and in some cases, what one desires, through the initial act of giving. In this case, the giving was in a dream.


It is an important concept in Śhaiva Tantra, where it is believed to be a force or power associated with the divine feminine or the formless aspect of the Goddess. This energy in the body, when cultivated and awakened through tantric practice, is believed to lead to spiritual liberation. Kuṇḍalinī is associated with Parvati or Adi Parashakti, the supreme being in Shaktism; and with the goddesses Bhairavi and Kubjika. The term, along with practices associated with it, was adopted into Hatha yoga in the 9th century. It has since then been adopted into other forms of Hinduism as well as modern spirituality and New age thought.

Are you interested in Hinduism? Around 1998, I foiled a robbery in an antiques centre and in exchange was given a puja idol. I actually found the god it represents, after several years of trying. It's bronze, Nepalese and maybe very old indeed. I gave it to my wife and wherever it stands it's a kind of shrine. I wish I'd written down its name. Impossible to find it on the internet.

Doesn't need a study. It's bound to affect chess because it affects the way your brain is working and the way you think. So anyone who claims it doesn't has missed something. I won't say what they have missed.

Popular subject. Couldn't miss with this topic. Maybe we could get more people to play chess by calling tournaments orgies. I have a chess orgy this weekend. It's classical G90/5d. My friend would be like, "oh, how interesting, I think I have a toga in the back of my closet somewhere." Then he shows up and it's just chess.

Actually all the natural processes have nothing to do with brain activities but because of the myths that we here our brain thinks about it and puts us in a hypothetical situation. Therefore,there’s no affect according to me

Do sexual activities help someone write proper English?

Nope.

But, proper English helped when I was courting an English professor.

@Otimissed Be Here Now. I should have put quotes in because all of the words are from the article. There has been a great mixing of Eastern Philosophy in the West. Sounds like you had the ultimate spiritual trip in India. I never made it to the Ashram. I'm no expert, but yoga is a way of concentrating your energy into a single endevour, be it work, relaxation or a spiritual journey. If, through meditation and yoga, you can concentrate your energy into Chess you should be that much better of a player. What sex has to do with all of this is obviously complicated.

The Goddess Energy also threw me off a little bit and I'm a Pagan. Freya Rules! Definitely deserves a little study.

And I added the warning article because I had introduced a concept which could be harmful to someone that doesn't know what they're doing.

It also makes a good point that you don't start at 3000 and work your way down. You start at the bottom and work your way up.
