Taoist Sexual Practices
First of all, let me state that there is virtually no Western medical research into this topic, other than several studies which link improved health and well being in a general way to non-tantric sex on a regular basis, with a partner. There are some physicians who still do not believe that there is such a thing as female ejaculation!
Tantrism and Taoism have recognized the reality of the female ejaculation for many centuries. It is a result of a very high-energy g-spot orgasm and is a tremendous generation and release of energy. This is both a great blissful joy, and perhaps a bit of a potential problem.
Taoist practices assert that 1 drop of semen is equivalent to 100 drops of blood in terms of vital life force. It is likely that something similar is true for the female ejaculate. While the analogue in men is the blood, I have heard some Sifus state that for women it may be related more to certain secretions in the brain. There is a somewhat coarse colloquialism that describes this energetic and hormonal or neurotransmitter loss!
On the other hand, these Eastern traditions assert that non-ejaculatory sex strengthens the chakric energy system and the endocrine glands 
associated with them. There are probably two main pathways for this. One is directly through the Tumo channel, and the other through spinal channels. The spinal route is more indirect, stimulating the hypothalamus, which then stimulates the endocrine glands, and can be quite powerful. There are several Kundalini practices which facilitate this, two of the most powerful are the Transmuting breath (with golden nectar) and the Cobra Breath. These are oral traditions and must be received by initiation.
There are systems in Tantra for devitalizing or withdrawing the energy from the ejaculate. There are other Tantric practices which can recycle the energy of the ejaculate such as soixante-neuf (Congress of the Crow), forms of Vajroli, and the famous Tantric Milkshake. Some of these require a partner, others do not.
Of the techniques that you are familiar with, I feel that T’ai Chi (yang long form, 2x a day) and the sexual application of the microcosmic orbit may be most helpful. The Taoist bone washing may help also. Copyright 2006, Keith E. Hall Inner-Tranquility.com . All rights reserved
Some Western medical references:
Sex…has been known to relieve the symptoms of specific medical conditions, such as menstrual problems, osteoporosis and arthritis.
–Dr. Barbara Keesling
Post-menopausal females who are sexually active have a lower risk of osteoporosis because they produce more estrogen.
– Patricia Birch, a psycho-sexual and relationship therapist for the NHS
Sex also improves the production of estrogens – good for skin and hair and for the prevention of osteoporosis.
