Greetings! It's been a while since the last time I posted something. Lots of changes have been developing in my life. Well anyways.... Some years ago, when I was studying in a certain New Age group (they referred to themselves as Gnostics) the teacher recommended that, in order to obtain lucidity, we (the students at that time) should avoid having sex, even masturbation was forbidden... this was because of some certain strange theory that I will not explain because that would be outside of the purposes of this post. The thing is that, I remember having my first lucid dream during that period of abstinence, also I have to say that I was pretty nahive at that time and also very excited about entering in that kind of group so maybe it was just my psychological condition that helped me to attain lucidity. I LDed frequently during that time until I found out that that group in particular was a complete hoax, I was disappointed and left the group. I finished studying my carreer and got a job and completely forgot about sexual abstinence. Ld's decreased to the point of being unexistent.

So I just wanted to know if anyone thinks that abstinence has an influence in Lucidity or it has nothing to do with it at all. Please share your thoughts.

Thanks!
