Welcome to the Semen Retention General!
Father of Chads edition!

>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.

>Why do it?
Reported benefits include: increased vitality, mental clarity, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy, improved focus, healthier hair/skin/eyes, deeper voice, improved mood, greatly improved testosterone, improved physical strength and more.

On long clean streaks many report benefits that transcend current science like a sort of "magnetism" or higher "vibration/aura" that attracts/appeals to other living beings, a higher perception, a stronger and intimidating "aura/presence", a deeper connection with nature, an attractive BO (people usually report it as "pheromones"), deeper meditations, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, a closer "alignment" with God/Source and more.

>In case of urges:

https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/rebooting-accounts/rebooting-accounts-page-1/
Do ANYTHING else. go outside, do some push ups.. even gaming is far, FAR less damaging.
After a few minutes the urges ALWAYS passes.

>Advices:
- NEVER watch porn of ANY kind.
- Remove triggers from your life. Masturbation is a bad habit. Find how to Break that bad habit.
- Focus on achieving a goal. An art, a craft, competing, etc.
- Meditate and/or Pray Daily. Try a minimum of 5 minutes to start off.
- Exercise/Gym/Sports/Martial Arts. If it is something social even better.
- Good habits like healthy eating, HIIT training, dry fasting (like the holy texts advice), earthing, sun exposure and cold showers do seem to speed up the process.

I masturbate like 4 times a week and i just eat really healthy and i usually have all of these. I avoid porn and beat it to ecchi instead. Are you people like the opposite of /succgen/ ?

Humans can detect geosmin (rain smell compound) at concentrations as low as 5 to 100 parts per trillion. This is 200,000 times greater than a sharks ability to smell blood in the water.

If you think women cant subconsciously smell that you have that full sack stack, then you are out of your damn mind. They smell it on you. This is not even including the other markers. The parasite toxoplasmosis gondii which cat owners frequently get has an effect that changes the facial structure of the owner to make them more attractive.

When you have that full sack stack you literally walk around smelling better, looking better, and you are mentally and spiritually better. Keep going nevergoon truecels

Could the pent up sexual frustration that comes with SR make you a rapist?

Can you name someone worth raping? Because I haven't.

What do you mean by 'worth' raping?

In any form you can think of. Give it a try and convince me. I don't think anyone can.

>>43009265
I don't disagree, I just think that "no one deserves to be raped" is more fitting than "worth"

quite the opposite , excessive gooning and jerking makes you more and more deranged towards the opposite sex , where the only thing you can think about is "what do ive to do to fuck it ?"

hey anons, I'm interested in retaining my semen for God and Godly work but I have a single holdup that I need help getting rid of:

demons keep sexually assaulting me. They don't want me to retain my semen they want me to cave and coom. I've tried praying to Jesus and he just says that it's the unfortunate state that I'm in and that God doesn't scorn me for being raped and cooming. What do I do?

Dude, come on. Try harder.

How many times are you likely to bag a strong and independent big titty gamer girl who shares your hobbies and is obsessed doing things with you at all times, while also being chronically horny for you? Oh and she can also pick you up and work the farm with you too and really loves that you love boobs as much as she does.
>>
>>43007351
Im surprised this isn't a general on /fit/
>>
>>43009920
It used to be. You can be practicing SR without being fit, which is why I believe it had a lot of pushback over there. I personally believe it should be on both, but I don't think people are mentally mature enough for that.

Hey anons could you guys give me some advice? I usually lurk but have been dealing with some issues. I was exposed to porn at a young age, I’m mid twenties now but have been using it on and off for 14 years. I have tried to quit probably hundreds of times. Anyways I was normal before porn, and incest stuff was the first genre I was exposed to. I don’t know if it was morbid curiosity or just novelty/taboo/escalation, but I basically dabbled in every genre possible. (No illegal shit). When I was in my early twenties I was a drug addict and alcoholic, often high on those while watching porn. During my worst with this addiction I would often masturbate 4-6 times a day or more. When the vanilla stuff didn’t give me that “hit” anymore, that’s when I would have to escalate to crazy shit, for example (anal, cuck, humiliation, bi, gay, orgies, etc.) stuff I’m not proud of watching at all and would feel disgusted afterwards. Growing up I have always been attracted to girls, all my crushes were girls and still are. I have never and will never do anything with the same gender. It disgusts me irl, but I think I put myself in some kind of trance when watching porn. I recently tried nofap and white knuckled 23 days, longest I’ve done in years. I relapsed from seeing a cute girl at a party, and tried to watch porn when I got home but noticed it didn’t really do anything so I masturbated. Anyways I’m back on day 3. Lately the intrusive thoughts have been brutal, like intrusive thoughts of random shit like my brain telling me I’m gay or I’m into whatever other genre I watched but I’m not and I know I’m not. I’m still a virgin irl, my dream is to have a wife and kids. Surely if these fetishes were induced by porn, me quitting porn and masturbation should eventually make them go away right? Or I am fucking cooked bros? Wished I never watched this stuff. God help me.

Crazy how you typed all that and the last 3-word sentence is your answer. Satan's greatest achievement is convincing the world he doesn't exist. He only bothers with those who stray away from degeneracy, as you decided to turn your life around. Keep trying. You fucked up, yes, but your path isn't easy, since you've dug yourself a pretty deep hole.
Your path is similar to mine, but I must admit mine was slightly milder. All I can say is that it will become easier eventually, but you have to persist and maintain your route. Addictions are like that.
>Or I am fucking cooked bros?
You can still make it. I believe you can even if you don't. Jesus Christ believes in me and that was good enough for me. You have 2 who believe in you now.
>>
>>43010008
Dude you just gotta stop watching porn and masturbation all together. Your brain has neural pathways, and can change (neuroplasticity). Imagine all the porn you watched as nature trails in your brain. Over time if you don’t use them anymore they will wither and overgrowth will make the path disappear. It just takes time. Replace PMO with hobbies like music, exercise, and art. Try to be outside the house as much as you can.
>>
Fuck. I'd typed out something long but it got cleared. Probably for the best.
I caved a few days ago and got an onahole. Now I hate it and myself and want to get a pair of scissors and cut it into shreds and throw it out, as well as quit PMO because I know this is not the person I want to be. I don't want to be a slave to my id. But I'm scared of failure, and I'm also scared that for anything to truly change I'll have to get rid of everything else: the time wasters, scrolling YouTube, useless 4chan threads, junk food as reward etc. So when I think about throwing it out and changing my life, self-actualizing etc, it's as though I become trapped in a prison cell, a lattice of my mind's making... but it's all artificial. I can reach out with my hand and my fingers go through the bars. I KNOW I can just walk out and free myself. But suddenly, thinking about the rest of my life without this crutch I've used and gotten used to for so long that doesn't even feel good and I know it makes me a worse person and yet I don't trust myself enough to hold myself to my word and UGH! It's all just a bunch of rationalizations and I cannot step away to think soberly about this. I know what to do, I KNOW the rest of my life, a good and true life, a sovereign life, is right around the corner, and yet I elect to stay in this cave as it were. I've made lists of things to do with the free time and energy I'll get when I'm no longer wasting my life like this. I'd study for a placement test for grad school, learn a language, work out, perhaps seriously learn to draw... and yet the uncertainty around that corner scares me. I don't know if it's the vastness of possibilities or whatever Evola would say, but I keep psyching myself out and continue to stay in my prison cell, in my cave. I'm such a fucking coward who won't take the leap.
How do I quit?

Thanks bro. I believe in Jesus Christ too. I got baptized recently and the spiritual attacks have been brutal. It’s funny how I was never attacked like this with intrusive thoughts etc until one day I decided I want out and I’m gonna quit for good and never stop trying. I went from an everyday gooner to going 23 days because I begged God to give me the strength. I relapsed but I’m back on the wagon again, I’m not gonna let this thing take me without a fight. Pray for me today anon.

Not much of a sex have but funny that it's almost the same thing with sex. It's all fun and games while doing it, but the moment it's over all I can think to myself is "eh, could've skipped that and done something better" and even slightly regret it. Then the countdown until I'm horny again begins.
Quite the battle. Must stay vigilant.

Sure thing. I hope you belong to a healthy church. If not, take a look at this podcast and observe: https://www.youtube.com/@9941ThePodcast/videos
I haven't ever found a Christian channel that resonated with my perspectives, but these guys just seem to have a strong connection with the Holy Spirit inside them. Pick one of the videos and judge for yourself, I'm sure you'll agree.
>>43010048
>How do I quit?
Take the leap and have faith. Like I said to the other anon: I believe you can, because I was able to by knowing Jesus Christ believes in me. Now you know there are 2 believing in you. You seem to worry a lot and that is for Satan the same as blood for a vampire. Pick some channel you can get lost in. Historic, religious, anything informative, yet safe for work. Persist consistently and you will make progress. Just like a man with acrophobia, you do not look down and keep walking. Before you know it you've crossed halfway the bridge without even realizing. I'll pray for you too.

How can I become who I was supposed to be before becoming this degenerate? I feel like I was meant to be someone else but maybe I was always this monster but I was just in denial about it

Successfully quit porn for a month, but relapsed this week literally thought whatever. However now I feel how it alters the brain chemistry profoundly. Porn is so fucking evil bros.
