Semen retention

[Fortune_favors_the_bold]

Hello. I didn't find such a thread, so I decided to create one.

Is anyone else here practicing semen retention? Or do you guys even know about it?

As far as I know it has roots in Taoism and Tantra, but now has made a comeback recently in western society.

What it comes down to is not ejaculating. You don't waste your life force energy, and as a result you are more healthy, more masculine and grounded.

My experience with this practice: 9 months was my longest period of semen retention. This was in 2022. Now I am on a 5 month streak.

I can definitely say it has positive effects for me. Testosterone levels are probably higher, compared to when jacking off everyday. As a result, I have much more energy. And a major thing I notice is the groundedness and presence "strength". Nowadays kids refer to this as "aura". People (and women) also sense it.

I recommend everyone trying this as a self-discipline challenge or just for to see if you feel better. Most likely you will.

If we think about it, the seed we have is meant to procreate. Not to be wasted on watching other people have s3x through a screen. You see how wild this sounds?

And when you don't waste your seed, you have all this extra energy to put it in whatever you chose - self development, career, sports, art, whatever...

And since we are on a forum, which mostly revolves around getting women - it definitely helps with that too, as they feel your energy in a different way.

P.S. - It is also possible to have s3x, not ejaculate, and still enjoy it. There are techniques about that (Mantak Chia). Also, edging sometimes is probably okay, as long as you don't relapse. And if you do it, you'll probably regret it. Or at least that's my experience.

I cut porn and masturbation from my life, not even that hard once tried seriously since apparently my libido is lower than the average guy..I could also stop mid sex and move to other things if a good enough reason exists.

Anyway back to the point, the benefits I get are a better mindset which means higher self control, bigger tolerance to stress, lower anxiety, increased appetite for calculated risks given a potential good reward and most of all like you said my "aura".

I notice both men and women tend to be more friendly and respectful and even willing to help me in minor things like giving me a lift or paying for my coffee.

The biggest difference however is at the gym where I can go on much harder to exercises that require mental fortitute prolonged in time or are uncomfortable to do once tired.

Lunges with big weights while keeping great form or 3 minutes plansk for example.

Gas and catching back my breath too.

What if that’s what they want you to think?

What if you're wrong and you get prostate cancer?

There is nothing more sobering then post nut clarity.

Post nut clarity puts pvssy back from focus into its place somewhere in the periphery of your life.

Good for you Bro, now go work on your spiritual life, - meditate, pray and read, study the scriptures for a solid foundation when it comes to this stuff.

Maintain your positive results.

the golden rule:

Your age minus 7, divided by 4.

That's how often for max potency without diminishing returns.

Fapface is real. You can always tell a fapper when you see one. Probably it's a combo of excessive blue light and loss of vitamins/minerals.

Semen retention works for me , however I stop porn as well , I don’t see any value in porn . However I do read adult manga from here and there ! There are girls who freaking read these kind of shxt so I need to stay on same page . Turns me on lol. But in all honesty it’s not good .
The best I am when I am active , doing my own things , and planing stuff .

That's not true with T levels.

It's been found that T levels will rise when you don't ejaculate for a period of 7 or 8 days (in an attenpt to spur you into action) and then if nothing happens by then they will subsequently decline.

Why? The body doesn't waste resources when something isn't being used, it diverts the resources elsewhere. This happens in pretty much every aspect regarding bodily functions.

In terms of your body, the rule is "Use it or lose it" essentially.

Lol, I don't know what the heck you got this information from. But Storing up semen rises your testosterone as you can see from Boxers and MMA fighters practice who practices this thing and soldiers in the battlefields who has gone weeks without sex. Combine semen retention with a chosen holistic practice that relaxes your mood such as meditation, tai chi, reading the scriptures and prayer and you've got something going here.

It definitely works. Becoming a millionaire or an athlete is easily possible for anyone. It is THE technique to elevate you far past the average person in whatever your focus is in life.

After Day 30 my determination was about SonGoku/Superman level. So far I haven't managed to get past day 60. What I can say is productivity rises exponentially for me after day 13-14.

I think the main feature is anyone can get the ability to see and also follow a clear path with consistency to whatever one desires.

But I argue it won't help with getting women as much. Otherwise, I would have had some success already.

Vain material pursuits can only get you so far. What you need is trust and faith in a greater power to get you through the difficult times, not just with semen retention. I find the several ways to have helped me greatly with this, they are: God centered meditation, prayer, Chanting God’s holy names, reading the scriptures and living a holy life and giving/ serving your community according to your talents and natural abilities. In addition, watching what you eat, fasting, taking brisk walks, yoga and cold showers are all an added benefit.

I agree with everything else, other than material pursuits being vain. To be magnanimous requires wealth. To inspire and ultimately make the world a better place requires either physical or intellectual capability.

The spiritual side of things can't be objectively measured. It is too subjective to use in an argument in my opinion. But again, I still agree with this.

In either case, practicing semen retention seems to be like a boost in every aspect of life. I wonder if these advantages also happen if someone doesn't fap or watch porn but regularly manages to get in bed with women he is strongly attracted to ...

I don't have the experience to answer this question.

One definitely needs to separate quitting porn from abstaining from masturbation. Quitting porn is healthy on a physical, mental and spiritual level. Abstaining otherwise is far more specific to the individual. There are mental benefits to not masturbating daily for me with regards to mental clarity, focus and primal urges. Sort of a vibe that people around me seem to resonate with but nothing quantifiable.

Porn is bad
Jack off less often

Been on Semen Retention for 150 days now. Went to my Dr’s appointment the other day and I lost weight and body fat and I wasn’t even exercising that much, just moderately plus drinking diet sodas. I also experienced more hair growth which is great because I have a receding hairline.
