Anton,
Which Soul do you mean?

Higher soul don't need exercise, that is true
But animal soul do need.
And most people have not developed their higher soul.

Than  all have to do with PRANA
we live in prana and prana in us.

But one not cultivating him or herself
can do what he want, he never will 
reach developement.

You are right that no one can force the energies and prana 
in artificial way.Only nature will bring him and uplift him, if he is
ready for.

In the end of your story you wrote about the seual way, not the common
sexual, so easy it not that
.
If it was so easy 
all can stay living like dogs.
Happely not

greetings Christina
