There is indoor neigong, and there is some joking ribaldry in the terminology, but nothing like what has been described above. I've only been taught Wu style, so all my observations are style-specific. The approach is very natural, Wu Gongzao mentioned several times in his writing that if you focus on circulating qi with your mind it will have unhappy effects. The shen/jing/qi transformations happen anyway, but are amplified by the training naturally. The focus was on training thoroughly for many years to have enough spontaneous energy at your disposal to be able to fight on the battlefield for extended periods of time, a huge expenditure of energy. Any benefit to stamina in other areas is secondary. If we put viagra out of business with Taijiquan, all the better, but that's not the intent...
Great post and I wouldn't worry about putting viagra out of business, when a man boasts about "6 hours of sex" he is going by his "man watch" which when translated works like this:
6 hrs in deluded man = 10 min in real time = 5 min in woman time.
