I think the tantric side of Daoist mysticism/alchemy has semen retention as a way of preserving vital energy, but... as to whether that has its own terminology or not I am also not going to investigate.

I did read a few cultivation webnovels a while ago, and I recall a few jokes to the effect of "The great sage has been furiously seeking immortality in his cave for days now".
