Stories of gender and sexuality abound throughout the Torah; the Zohar-Book of Secret and the Cabala key to the Zohar are explicit with sexual metaphor to explain creation–even the relationship between the essence of God and the Name of God is portrayed in as male and female.
Women who exemplifies the Cli/Vessel are receptor to the essential light from the source–in this way essence diffuses into light. The vessel and the angels are intertwined but the essential light connects directly to the source. The same is true of man and woman.
Woman is born with all the eggs she will have for a lifetime, a few ten of thousands; the man is able to continually bring forth sperm in the millions at any time for the entirety of his adult life–the light is infinite while the vessel is finite.
The Cabala describes men from the head directly connected to the soul while woman are of the heart directly connected to the Creator. Sperm is formed in the mind of man drawn down the spine and cooked in the testicles according to the Talmud-Book of Law. Male masturbation weakens man’s connection with his soul.
