Does experiencing kundalini energy deplete one's meditative energies during orgasm?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"In tantra, orgasm becomes a valley of relaxation, allowing the upward-moving energy to harmonize with love, while ordinary peak experiences only create conflict and depletion."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, kundalini rising does not deplete meditative energy during orgasm if the orgasm is tantric—a relaxed 'valley' experience. Upward-moving energy harmonizes with deep, unstrained lovemaking and is even helped to ascend. Depletion and inner conflict arise only with the ordinary 'peak' orgasm that forces energy downward, which yoga resists; tantra integrates sex and meditation.
No—if you relax and love gently, your energy moves up and helps meditation; only a tense, peak-type orgasm pulls it down and drains you.
Why this matters practically
- Choose relaxed, mindful lovemaking to support meditation.
- Avoid peak-chasing; let the sense of “other” dissolve so energy can rise.
- Align sexual energy with practice to prevent inner conflict and loss.
