The Value of Not Passing Semen
Srila Prabhupada explains as follows in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 3, Chapter 26, Text 57:
"It is understood herewith that the faculty to discharge semen is the cause of death. Therefore, yogīs and transcendentalists who want to live for greater spans of life voluntarily restrain themselves from discharging semen. The more one can restrain the discharge of semen, the more one can be aloof from the problem of death. There are many yogīs living up to three hundred or seven hundred years by this process, and in the Bhāgavatam it is clearly stated that discharging semen is the cause of horrible death. The more one is addicted to sexual enjoyment, the more susceptible he is to a quick death."
This is why those in Krishna consciousness very wisely never pass semen except in the case when they want to make their wife pregnant. This regulated passing of semen is allowed once in a month 4-6 days after the woman's menstrual cycle, that time when she is most likely to become pregnant, and is only allowed after the husband and wife have both chanted at least fifty founds of Hare Krishna mantra to purify the act of attempted impregnation.

You have to fully surrender to Krishna under the expert guidance of the bona fide spiritual master.
This is confirmed in Srimad Bhagavatam,Third Canto, Chapter 7, Text 19 as follows:
yat-sevayā bhagavataḥ
kūṭa-sthasya madhu-dviṣaḥ
rati-rāso bhavet tīvraḥ
pādayor vyasanārdanaḥ
.
TRANSLATION
"By serving the feet of the spiritual master, one is enabled to develop transcendental ecstasy in the service of the Personality of Godhead, who is the unchangeable enemy of the Madhu demon and whose service vanquishes one's material distresses."
I hope this meets you in the best of health.

Words "fifty founds" should be corrected by "fifty rounds".
