I only just found this thread, but I considered this whole thing myself nearly a couple of yrs back when I first found shaolin ( despite 12 yrs of qigong before and if that doesn't say something about other information............. ) and then a little more seriously as I went through falun gong theorizing , practice and trying to understand it from their point of view .
What I came up with is that ejaculation and orgasms are okay . You can even maintain your iron skills ( normally requiring 40 days abstinence from sex to be safe) but the key is, IMO to at climax not associate it to a sexual thought.
For example, we all know that sex and ejaculation does things to your energies and your qi and again we've all heard about creative visualisation. It might even work if you do satori style sex ( and if not , it's just going to be that much better anyway .....) .
Even with masturbation. I think when you're with a partner or fantasizing about someone at climax , you take some of their energy into your dantien ( which remains for a period and has consequences in that interaction) and it comprimises your own purity of qi by the unpredictability of intimately carrying the awareness of the other person's true spritual evoloutionary level and the differences in that to your own ( and deny you do it if you like but we all know you're human and this our nature .........it's healthful) then the negative consequences of what that means to you in personal contrast ( and the distraction that causes you when you should be reaching enlightments paths unfettered with these things for the kind of buddha nature and qi and insights and clarity that as buddhists we're meant to persue from time to time (and if we're "good" often do ) , that partner contributing negative jazz you only grapple with quietly and to yourself that their presence with yours produces.
If you could instead, direct your attention somewhere else, like a goal or an enlightenment, then I can almost guarantee you you'll be safe. Worked for me keeping my iron body strong anyway............... and as a bonus, you get clarity on how to get to your goals.
