One day, just after my 20th birthday, I decided to stop. My mum was into spiritual stuff and I’d started sneakily perusing her bookshelf. I’d just got into meditation and that’s where I first discovered the idea of using sexual abstinence as a way of boosting my energy and self-confidence. The idea is part of an ancient belief system called 'Kundalini'. I was too embarrassed to ask my mum about it, but I decided to find out more. That’s how it all started.
