“Wait… are you actually saying semen retention can be used as birth control?”
Yes. Yes, we are. And we’ve got the receipts to back it up.In this no-fluff, fully embodied episode of Tantra Talks, Devi Ward Erickson and Dr. Chris Erickson go deep (and get spicy) on what it really means to use semen retention & non-ejaculatory orgasms as a valid method of contraception—rooted in lineage, lived experience, and radical body wisdom.This isn’t some surface-level take on “pulling out.”

This is next-level sexual mastery.


What We’re Talking About:
  • Why semen retention is not the same as the pull-out method
  • How to separate orgasm from ejaculation (yes, it’s possible—and pleasurable)
  • Why tracking your fertility cycle is foundational (and feminist)
  • How ejaculation control can be a form of spiritual, sexual, and relational sovereignty
  • The myth of “toxic sperm build-up” and why it needs to die
  • 11+ different kinds of orgasms men can experience (and why climactic release is just one small slice of the buffet)
  • How semen retention can be practiced in partnership—not as a burden, but as a turn-on
Semen = Power
This episode is a fierce call-in for men to reclaim their sexual energy—not waste it.

You’ll hear why learning to choose when and if to ejaculate isn’t just birth control...
It’s soul-level empowerment.You’ll also hear Devi drop truths like:“I love semen. It’s the fountain of life. But if you’re telling me yours is toxic—don’t even come near my mouth.”
(Yes, it gets that real.)


Birth Control Isn’t Just a “Woman’s Responsibility”
We talk about how birth control has long been positioned as a “female burden”—but Tantra invites a paradigm shift. Men, you have agency. You have choice. And you have the capacity to take real responsibility for your reproductive energy.Together, we can shift the narrative from “Oops” to “Intentional.”

From “control” to co-creation.
