Previous thread: >>40948836
Welcome to the Semen Retention General!

>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.

>What's the difference between a clean retention streak and a dirty retention streak?
A clean streak means no 'peeking' aka actively looking up porn or erotic images you usually use to fap. If you do that, it becomes a dirty streak. This also includes thinking to horny thoughts or past sexual experiences. In a dirty streak you peeked and might have even touched yourself but you did not ejaculate, thus the streak continues in that regard but becomes 'dirty' for those days. If you ejaculated the retention streak ends. You should always strive for a streak that is clean in both thoughts and actions.

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

>Wet Dreams?
They happen because you had a sexual dream and you coomed. Learn to be conscious on your dreams and stop the succubus.

>What causes wet dreams?
The causes are many: Illnesses, telepathic bad actors fucking with your dreams, excess energy build up, watching too much sexually-inducing stuff, lusting during the day, lack of an adequate transmutation activity, eating too late at night, excess nutrients overall, stimulants like maca, ginseng, ginger, excess protein, excess carbs, tight clothes (pajamas) for bedtime, bad sleeping posture (this varies, find the one that suits you best), going to bed with full bladder, exposure to hormonal disruptors via food (pesticides...) or body care products (soap, deodorant etc)...

shills create threads without the important stuff so here you go

>anecdotal evidence on SR:
https://imgur.com/a/nofap-anecdotal-evidence-g4eGH

>In case of urges:

- Don't peek and Hold your breath for as long as you possibly can. The urge usually pass after that. If not, repeat.
- Horse stance or chair pose: Do it while clenching the abdomen and all legs' muscles, raise arms for extra blood flow redirection. Works both for killing erections or urges.
- Any physical activity.

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") and more.

>Advices:
- Mental Purity 1.1: Semen Retention acts as a bio-electromagnetic amplifier. Watch the quality of your thoughts because your inner state will get amplified and manifested. Lust is the Ojas killer. Do not engage with Lust.
- Mental Purity 1.2: Keep a journal as a tool for introspection.
- NEVER watch porn of any kind.
- Remove triggers from your life. Masturbation is a bad habit. 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, water fasting, dry fasting, sun exposure and cold showers do seem to speed up the process.
- Sublimation: literally using the energy.
- Transmutation: changing the quality of energy to something different. (Surya Namaskara, 8 brocades, Tibetan rites)

Keep in mind that the efferent nerves attached to your testes necessarily means that any lustful thought, image, or sound is necessarily a command to your junk to produce sexual fluids and this is the reason why celibacy is first and foremost of the mind
The root of this entire matter is the mind - without conquering the mind, celibacy is a futile effort
The signals from the brain happen on the subconscious autonomic level
This is why any lustful thought, image, or sound is necessarily a command to the sexual organs to produce sexual fluids (the more intently you look, the higher amplitude of a signal gets sent: body > afferent nerves > brain > efferent nerves > body)
Therefore "Conversion of sexual energy to something" is necessarily a HORRIBLY inefficient process (Not to confuse with Sexual Transmutation)
Fluids will be reabsorbed, but the energy and materials cost to make it vs how much is "taken back" via reabsorption is SEVERELY unbalanced and super net negative
Sexual fluids are made from the cream of the crop of the body's resources - constantly generating them means that you are constantly draining away the cream of the crop of your resources.
Taoist writings said that the sexual organs will even take primacy over nourishing your other internal organs at some point. (Thus, doing a spiritual practice as a coomer is a surefire way to die faster).

great habit for this journey is to keep a journal and write down any event that happens in your life that you're pretty sure wouldn't have happened without SR. the longer your streak goes the more you see there's something to it. and yes you WILL forget many of these events if you don't write them down

i feel so stupid. school is about to start in a week for me, and I'm doing some preliminary revisions to get up to date and be prepared for the year, but in the midst of a video lecture, during when the teacher announces a break, which is usually three times during a lecture, I'd find myself using that time to coom. then, after the lecture is done, i do a quiz, and my grades absolutely suck, and that makes me feel low-iq, like, genetically, and im overwrought with this feeling of no confidence and no hope from escaping cooming. what can i do bros? Im 18, and have been addicted since 13.

Yo I've been doing this for almost a month now and I'm so healthy. Keep the goo bois! It's an addiction. You can live fine without it. Sure I get urges but it's a choice. Stay strong and don't touch it. You can tease the idea or push it off until later but realize you're just tricking yourself. Realize there are people much more successful with hot wives and great lives still struggling because they can't stop touching themselves. Be better. Do better. Know the difference. You won't die if you don't cum. It's all mental. If you nocturnal cum then accept it happens and keep going. don't worry. It took me about a year to reach this point of failing and returning to it. Ive jerked off on and off my entire life and now I can say with confidence it is terrible for you. My life is better without it. Find out for yourself. You will convince yourself you need it but trust me you don't. Our brains are prone to positive experiences and addictions. Trust me please it is an addiction. Im anon and I make no profit helping you but if maybe I help someone see past this garage then it is worth the effort. Glad to see this thread. You don't have to be perfect but you have the power to define yourself. I don't have to worry about getting caught, I don't have to worry about cleaning up my mess and I can see it for what it is. Knowing that big bouncy boobs still exist and ecchi is a real genre marketed to children is eye opening. Women are more than just objects, despite them being braindead sometimes but who doesn't make stupid decisions occasionally! Learn to appreciate the now and not chasing that high. Save your goo. If you get bullied and feel like a loser, take a break for a month and tell me how you feel now. It's mental prison that we get fed this crap telling ourselves it's natural. Now save that goo.

cont.

i have a collection of nsfw webms i have collected over the past few days, like a hundred something. i had a collection before that, but i deleted it, and felt bad about it. i know it's wrong, but i find it so hard to let go.
i feel like the whole world is working against me. i had some bad break ups with friends that have left me scarred and afraid of people; my dad got fired and is stressed all the time and takes it out on me; my best friend thinks i stole this girl from him (it was platonic, never found her attractive, only shared my art with her) and doesn't talk to me as much, and i just feel so worthless and suicidal all the time.

i am, unfortunately, a thirdie, and in my country, governmental education is non-existent, especially for seniors (no school lmao, ur on ur own. one has to attend outside lectures, buy tons of books, book lots of lessons, very big money sink.) i feel like ill never attain the grades needed, and i won't be able to get into a private college, and that ill be a failure, the black sheep of the family, the person who had so much investment put in them for utterly zero return.

cooming is my only coping mechanism, and i hate that. please help me, anons.

i don't know how to continue this. please forgive this big blog post, anons.

Just stop doing it. That’s fundamentally what it comes down to. Feel the urge to look at porn? Try not doing that. Feel the temptation to coom? Try not doing that.
Keep trying and eventually you will succeed.
>>
Sometimes I'm really curious to know what it's like to be on retentive for years. I mean, it's actually impossible since your body periodically expels semen even if you don't use it. I guess we're just considering NOFAP.
>>
>>40966157
Nobody but you can find the golden path. It's inside you. You aren't special. You are shit. OP is shit. I am shit. We live in a shit world but you don't have to be addicted to jerking off. Snap out of it. Nobody here is tricking you. You are choosing to jerk off. Stop. Save your goo. It takes days to climb a mountain and the present is now or don't I don't care. You act like you're alone. Calm down and stop. Life isn't so serious. You need experience and knowledge. Whenever you feel like jerking off tell yourself you won't and just do something else. Being bored and jerking off is a luxury. Don't accept defeat. Pretend you're done with all the fluff and be better. I hope you can see life for what it is. Learn damnit. First step is deleting ur porn. When ur done realize it's over and u have more important shit to do in your life. Why do u want to release ur goo anyway? It's strength. I don't want to tear you down. Be strong. Save ur goo.

Three weeks or so right now. I discovered that quitting videogames helps a lot. The feeling of abstinence is very similar, and I believe experiencing one can trigger searching for other one during the day; looking for the same sensation but from a different source. In the same way, abstaining from vidya helps getting you comfortable with not doing something you find pleasurable.

This streak is the most comfortable I had so far, and the only thing different is that I literally uninstalled steam at the same time.

I have to say, for me, is trying to keep focus in the things that I find the most important.

Porn and games, even though one far worse than the other, are kinds the same to me: a thing I use to avoid thinking, to avoid bad feelings, to avoid looking at my problems. And the expenses of the being distracted, my passions and health pays a tolls. Some of them, long forgotten or too far already to keep.
I don't really believe in the semen magic and I'm not a "white" wizard like you call yourselves, but I do believe porn is negative for the mind. In any case, I write this here in the case someone can make sense of this poor writing and keep trying; not for jizz powers, but for living a life focusing on the things you value the most.

I've been doing semen retention for about a year but I've never managed to go more than a month at a time. I feel so worthless every time I relapse, it completely kills my will to live.
I just break too easily, one peek is usually all it takes to make me stumble and I fucking hate it. I hate feeling like I'm not in control of my own life and knowing that I've been addicted to this shit since before I had even reached puberty. I'm nearing 30 now and I wasted all the prime years of my life on fleeting pleasures.

The exact quote should be “all you have to do is not nofap today.”

Let me explain: you're all failing because what you're doing, even in this thread, is talking and thinking about PORN. Yes, man, talking about not watching porn is talking about porn.

Stop counting your fucking days, stop being miserable "yeah, it's been 10 days, 5 hours, and 12 minutes since I watched porn, all I have to do now is hold out for another 355 days,“ ”shit, I failed after 3 days, I have to start over again and again and again"... Your whole fucking life revolves around porn.

You want to quit drugs, so what do you do? You wallow in it and hang out with other junkies who are just as miserable as you are, and then you wonder why you can't get out of this downward spiral?
>>
I don't believe any of you last more than 2 weeks, especially since you are here where anyone can post ass to temp you or trigger urges.

Growing up, in my teens and twenties, when the topic of masturbating was brought up in conversation with friends, I would often say something like, "yeah it's great, I just don't like the shame I feel afterwords"

they'd look at me like I had two heads. it was inconceivable to them that you'd feel shame after jerking off.

how is this possible? do these people just not have souls?

are we the chosen ones?

anyone else with this experience?
>>
>>40967780
It's only shameful because as you were growing up it was basically imprinted onto you by society, telling you it was something weird/wrong and you shouldn't be doing, that's slowly changing these days though (on purpose). That isn't to say you should go full blown coomer and just fap every single day without remorse to the most vile shit imaginable like a mentally ill tranny/faggot though. What I'm about to say goes against the spirit of SR, but it's completely fine to fap. The problem is though, it's almost impossible to fap within the boundaries of what is "fine" because it is so easy to slip into degeneracy, especially with such easy access to porn these days. If you completely remove porn from the equation and just fap with your imagination (like you would have done at some point) 95% of the issues would go away, but that's extremely difficult because humans have an innate instinct to always go after what provides the highest dopamine release, or what the path of least resistance is, which in this case is ALWAYS porn. Imagine regular fapping as going to the gym, and watching porn is using steroids. Basically that.

There is also a sort of point of no return in your life, where once you discover what porn is and watch it for the first time then you can never go back. What I mean by that is you could choose to stop watching porn, but you will always know of its existence, and you will always feel the urge to go back to it. You can't unknow it, it will always be there in the back of your head no matter what. This is why the Jews have completely flooded society with it, they want as many people pushed over that point of no return as possible since almost everyone who partakes will inevitably fall down the slippery slope and turn into a dopamine fried husk (people are easier to control this way).

Pic related sort of encapsulates what I'm trying to explain, imagine the highest layer to be SR where you finally put yourself above the degenerate wasteland.

First time in this thread
I've been an addict since I was about 13. Im 25 now. Had a recent religious conversion. Haven't been counting the days but I know it's been around 20.

I'll be honest. I haven't seen really any of the changes anons describe. I don't know if it's too early to see or if I'm too late. I'd stop it anyway because I know it's wrong.

Actually there's one weird thing i've seen since then. I'm able to snatch flies out of the air now. I've done it about 6-7 times since I started. Wonder if there's an effect on reaction time with porn use.

dude 20 days will do jack shit against 12 years of compulsive use. it's great progress but don't expect anything but withdrawals in the following days. neurochemistry only changes when you resist the cravings time and time again, at least that's my experience and i've been addicted to porn since i was 9. good job though and congrats on the conversion
>>
>>40968014
correct on all fronts. i would probably fap a couple of times a week at most if there was no such thing as porn and feel no different than when abstaining completely, but sadly it's a gateway drug to porn and i know i'd cave in sooner or later which is why abstinence seems to be the only thing to work out. jews really are a base little people

>>40967780
At age 16 you have peak pure Yang energy. Your loss of energy from masturbation is negligible. I felt 0 shame at age 18 when I started, because I had surplus Yang energy. After age 16, you enter the Yin descension cycle. And if you masturbate too often, you take all your energy reserves.

I know some here are sick of hearing anons say they've relapsed but I've relapsed hard after 16 days. What I mean by that is I've tempted myself to be enticed by content that isn't pornographic in nature but features sexual characteristics which leads me to an increase in sexual thoughts & by extension going on a gooning spree.

For that reason, I've decided it's best to stay away from this website & other content that drags me down to a baser level. As much as I've gathered wisdom from this site, it has led me to being distracted from tasks that I need to be completing. Not to mention the amount of unnecessary content that pops up more frequently than usual.

Yes, it's true that this thread is one of few that are considered decent these days yet I still stumble upon sexual imagery unwillingly. Call it a weakness in me to fail to deny the flesh short term pleasures that lead nowhere however I find it more difficult to abstain when bombarded by sexual content that entices my thoughts to act on abusing my body, mind & spirit.

Very stupid post, but this is the stupidest part.
Coughing just gets you more coughing. A virus hijacks the cough mechanism (the only purpose of which is to expel something being choked on) to improve its reproductive success. You don't resist coughing you are the virus' bitch. You may end up with weeks, months, or even a permanent cough as a result.

I'm around day 12 or so, and I truly feel myself wanting to socialize more. Not to win women, I already have a gf -- just because it's more fun than being alone. I also generally feel tired unless I get 8 hours of sleep, but last night I got less than 7 hours and I woke up feeling fine. I've always found it hard to go on really long streaks; anons who talk about it getting easier after two weeks, or a month, I've never understood it. For me, for the most part, it's just gotten more and more difficult as it's gone along, because I've always treated porn and jerking off as a reward for myself. As a result, the longer my streak lasts, the more I feel I "deserve" the reward. But today was a nice, gentle but firm reminder that the rewards of SR are greater than the reward of cooming.

If you don't lose erection or can gain one shortly after that means that there has not been a flood of prolactin.

I have had many "wet dreams" with no emission at all, and seems like no harmful effect. I've done a few times dry orgasm while awake but I think it's not worth the risk of actually spilling.

im on day 14 and in the past few days i have been feeling like and also taking action in fixing my life

not going to dump it all, basically my life is a mess rn and has been for a while and whenever i was jerking off 2-3 times a day I wasnt doing shit to improve it. Im feeling more naturally inclined to do good stuff i wanna do like reading, drawing, working out, and other stuff related to my goals. Basically just feeling more attracted to doing something except for browsing my phone all day. Make no mistake though im not some super disciplined guy at all yet, im in a cycle where one day I do the stuff i gotta do for myself and then the next day i feel exhausted and dont do shit.

I dont know if this is because of SR at all but I have been trying to fix my general life and I seemingly get more inclined to do so the longer i do this
>>
20 days into this shit and a girl I thought was cute surprised me coming out of a door, looked at me right as I looked at her

it was like I had a mini stroke and tried to turn my head away while my eyes refused to look away

I am certain she thinks I am certified retarded now
FUCK

I did the math and when I was in peak goonbrain mode I was wasting 12-15 hours/week just watching pixels on a screen. Exiting that haze frees up a lot more time than you initially expect so the want of getting your shit together is normal. You're no longer falling back on indulgences of the flesh as a crutch.

Does the longing to engage with niche, fucked up fetishes ever go away? I don't want anything to do with femdom anymore. It does not benefit my life
>>
>>40970137
>I don't want anything to do with femdom anymore. It does not benefit my life

I feel like I've spent my entire adult life looking for femdom partners and never found any. I found a few FWB's who were in to it, but they were bat shit crazy and made things worse. Prostitutes/dominatrix just sucks.

I tell myself it's healing, but I really don't think it is

Like anon said, it’s simply dopamine deficiency, the motivation hormone. They’re training future generations to be burn outs well before 30 so they can easily accept (or just not care about) whatever agendas they set forth
>>
>>40970137
Been on SR for a good while. Had many long streaks and developed a lot of self control. I was asking myself this same question today. I don't think it ever goes away. And I have a couple terrible niche fetishes. Extremely hard to fulfill, and even have dangerous consequences (no, not autoerotic asphyxiation). It's torture, really. Sometimes I lay awake at night and think about the guys in prison and think "you know what, maybe they were onto something. At least they fulfilled their dreams."

The best I have been able to manage so far is total loss of sex drive during long streaks. The worst part is, unavailable girls start showing me interest, but since my morals and discipline are so strong, I can't pursue the opportunities. Not only that, but my sex drive is gone so I only register their interest but don't even get much enjoyment from it. And that's the BEST I have managed. Occasionally my impulses feel WORSE, even more degenerate than usual.

Buy hey, this path brings you closer to God, right? Woo hoo...

I dated a girl for a while and she wasn't kinky at all, much less in to femdom. As we got closer, I asked her to be more dominant and she turned out to be really good at it, and enjoyed it.

I think when 2 people come together in a relationship, their energies meld and compliment each other. So if we ever find true love, our partner will eventually be interested in our kinks too. So the kinks will naturally be fulfilled.

So I think there is hope. I do feel like being dominated in bed allows my body to relax in ways, and therefore heal. I'm only on day 4 of a clean streak (dirty for 3 years) but I'm already tempted to make an app and look for kinky people to sleep with. I'm going to keep my faith in SR and God and see what comes up. In short, the "fulfilling kinks is healthy and healing" idea I have seems like a cope rn, so I won't give in to it.
>>
>>40970345
Well that's great for you. Some of us have much more challenging itches to scratch. Making an app seems like a lot of work when such things already exist.

This is obviously a shill lol They become more insidious and won't always tell you directly to coom but will frame the entire thing from a negative connotation as if its a massive burden they fight all the time.

Once you properly unlock the energy centers in the body, which is a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual process then not only do you get many benefits but you aren't even plagued by some kind of insatiable lust you are fighting daily. You are at peace & generally joyful.

I've been doing this for nearly a decade now. Probably 10-12 orgasms in 9.5 years almost all entirely due to wet dreams. Generally because of succubi/negative energy entities/demons. I know this because praying routinely for protection & and calling on the name of Lord Jesus Christ would both prevent it from happening or simply banish/end the attack while it was happening.

I've been lurking these threads for awhile and was active in some of them last month. I think I should compile so info and make one of these threads after it archives. I see lots of things that I either have answers to or angles of attack by shills that can be remedied with the truth to encourage participants. It may take a week or so.

I was making them on /pol 3 or 4 years ago but they would get hit hard with shills, disruption to conversation, slid to /bant, and then I'd be banned for 3 to 7 days.

Perhaps I'll at least tag some of my old replies from the archives or threads I made years ago if I can find them.

Also the shills will pretend to be organic and "talk" to each other. Always leading readers astray though.

fucking schizo, i'm not a shill. you've lost yourself into paranoia, i was just sharing my experience.

if your fetishes go away, that's great. they haven't for me and i've had years where i only had 2 orgasms in the whole year, preceded by years when it was 10 or less.

i never told anyone to stop doing SR, i just shared my experience. fucking cultist nutjob

The fucking dreams on SR are insane

SR makes me have more dreams and makes such dreams more vivid and last night I took magnesium because i heard it helps you sleep, and I had a extremely vivid dream which im not gonna go into detail here, but for atleast 45 minutes after i woke up today I had an existential crisis and didnt know who i was anymore. My dreams are so vivid and real now

I verbatim typed in that reply you get many benefits.

>>
>>40970469
look pal, i'm on a streak myself right now. i was just telling the truth that the guy doesn't need to waste his time making a degenerate app because such things already exist. and yeah, anyone on this journey for an extended period knows that one's relationship with God is not linear and always trending upward (or closer). you're taking my ironic phrasing to be some kind of twisted shill demoralization to fulfill your ego that you're some kind of intelligent super sleuth. i'm just another anon sharing my experiences that there are ups and downs on this path. it's not all sunshine and roses. sure, your mood is predominately a lot better on SR than not, especially on long streaks. but there are flat spots and even a few sharp dips every now and then, and that's just how it is for some of us. plus, that dude is the one that brought up some fetish apps. i don't even use such things or dating apps or any of it yet i still know about it.

Can a person not share negative experiences in these threads without being called a shill? What the fuck is your deal that you feel you have to police everything? Some anon isn't going to read my posts and be like "WELL, I guess I'll just give up on semen retention forever now! That anon really knows what he's talking about! He sounds so honest and legitimate, surely he knows better than all the other anons in the thread sharing positivity and encouragement! This short series of posts (and other "demoralizers" and actual shills in the thread) was the tipping point for me! Now the scales have tipped in my brain and I now think that SR isn't worth it and I'm going to go build degenerate sex apps or find the best one because he subtly hinted that apps already exist!"

Get a grip, bro. I would never tell someone to stop SR, and I have shared positive posts and experiences in past threads. You take one guy sharing a less than positive experience and zero in and build this narrative that just isn't there.

Once you hit your 30s and relapse about 4 or 5 times in a couple days then start SR over, the brain fog and depression doesn’t start going away until the 3rd week. I’ve relapsed 3 times this year and this has been the case every time, I have no motivation to do anything until week 3.

Day 5, Anon who keeps getting attacked by the demons here.

I know it hasn't been long, but I can already feel myself ascending, and in fact I think my third eye is beginning to open. I tried to focus on "waking" myself up in the astral sense, then I began to vividly feel the shadowy presences that were around me. What was interesting is it wasn't just a singular entity, but ones that would come and go, some longer than others. It's like they were there just draining/sapping my energy. What's more is they seemed completely indifferent to it, like they were vultures and I was just a dead corpse on the side of the road they were feasting on. Once they knew I was aware of their presence though they immediately noticed and the tone shifted, almost shocked that knew they were finally caught out. I told them to leave me alone, but then they became extremely aggressive, trying to fill my head with dread and fear, trying to convince me that there was no winning against them and I had to "accept my fate". It was at this time I decided I had enough of them and tried to contact some angels, or god, or whatever to try and help me fend them off. For context, I am not the most religious person, I do believe in higher powers obviously and was baptized as a catholic at birth, but I never had too much involvement with going to churches or reading the bible etc. The one thing I did know though was angelic beings were real, as I have run into quite a few of them over the years. You can definitely feel the difference between a malicious spirit and an angel, you can sense the intent behind them if that makes sense. Anyway, I tried asking for help from one of these angels and got a response almost immediately. This must have been a higher up angel because the power I felt emanating from them was on a completely different level than usual.

I was having a sort of "dialogue" with them (it's hard to explain what it's like actually talking to them), and they basically told me that I have all the power I need to chase them off. They were basically saying that they can't directly make them go away, and I'd have to do it myself, but in a very empowering and supportive "you got this bro" kind of way. They then gestured towards one that was behind me and told me to "chase it off" and I did. It was like I was using my aura against them, making it glow so bright with so much positive energy it repelled them away from me. The lesson was basically to use the positive emotion within you in such a way, where you're not so much attacking them as you are scaring them away, cause the one thing they can't stand is the positivity you give off. tl;dr glow with so much brightness that the shadows disappear. After that they congratulated me, saying it's okay to struggle against these entities as the fight is never ending, then reassured me they would come back to help me again if I should ever need it. Then I pretty much realised what went down, the angel was above me, kind of channeling their positive energy into me, then I used that energy to ward the demons/entities off. So in reality they were actually helping me, but I had to be the one who chased them off. I then spoke with them about a few other personal things I won't go into too much detail with, but at the end I did ask if it was okay if they told me their name, then the name that instantly came to me was Raphael. Like, without any delay or anything, just straight away.

Anyway I looked up this name and found out that there's apparently an Archangel called Raphael, then I put two and two together and realised that's probably who I was talking to. That, coupled with the fact that the energy felt more "powerful" than the regular angels or spirit guides I usually would commune with. If anyone is wondering if I saw anything visually, I did in fact, and the form they took on is what I can only describe as one of those "biblically accurate angels" you see, where it's basically like a floating eyeball with wings and swirling energy around it.

Thought it was worth mentioning too, I did ask if the SR I was doing was actually having an effect and they more or less said it wasn't required, but it was a big help, and I quote "It makes it easier for you to find us"

Has anyone else has experiences like this with angels or higher beings?

Why do I seem to get more attraction from underage girls , adult women are attracted to
me ... but underage girls act like chimps in a banana farm
>>
>>40972593
Cause that's the actual age you're meant to bond with them, it's basic evolution. Trying to imprint yourself onto an 18+ girl let alone a 20-30 year old girl is unnatural and it's why so many relationships are trash these days. Go back in time and look at when older men dated underage girls, and see how the majority of them grew up living happy loving lives, it's because it's what's biologically right. It's also why Jews are gatekeeping sex with the ridiculous high age of consent barriers while keeping all the jailbait for themselves, they want anyone who isn't them to have a miserable life with unfulfilled love. You can't point out this obvious truth to anyone otherwise you get called a conspiracy theorist or pedo etc, even though it was how human society functioned for thousands upon thousands of years. By the time this error is corrected we will all be dead and gone, so we have to sit here and suffer through all of this shit now (because of Jews obviously)

Absolutely none of what I posted was "schizo babble". Honestly its usually a sign someone is over the mark when shills spam schizo on a post.

Everything I posted was clear, direct, & concise. Soon I'll make an SR General thread with what I've experienced and learned over the last nearly 10 years.

I think it will be incredibly informative and helpful for others currently on the journey.

I'll be focusing a lot more on the spiritual/supernatural benefits as I see this threads are lacking in that area as of late.

Bros I think I fucked up.
I got really heavily into femdom and started paying dominatrixes to humiliate me on camera for their amusement.
In a moment of horny retardation I gave one of them my contact list from my phone because in the heat of the moment, giving her the ability to blackmail me and ruin my life was so fucking hot.

Anyway a few days go by and I receive a text from her saying she's going to send the video of me jacking off to all my contact list if I don't pay her $5000.

What should I do?

>>40973076
Call her bluff and tell her to go get fucked. If she does send it, then tell them all it's an AI video someone made using your face/voice (people will believe it)

About your collection of webms, what I've done when I was in a similar situation is to select half of it and delete them without thinking about it, and then more later.

In the moment you might find many excuse to want to keep them but you just don't care the moment after, so that kind of compromise / tricks help.

Delete the stash.

So you call semen waste. Something that your body spends energy on creating, is waste to you. Poop is literally food you ate. Your body is trying to get it out. Semen is literally created by things that are as sensitive evolutionarily speaking from the pain significance, as your eyes, your balls. But yeah

>>40968646
Semen isn't waste your body is trying to "excrete" it is literally created using your body's energy/minerals. Constantly ejecting it out is like siphoning minerals directly out of your body, and every time you do it your body has to keep trying to replenish it. Also, you're completely skipping the fact that cooming all the time completely fucks with your dopamine receptors and fries your brain if you do it too much. Just because you get a sugar craving all the time does that mean you should keep stuffing your face full of sugar? No? Exactly.

That shill knew what he was doing just as you are doing the same. As I've said I've been practicing SR for about a decade now, had some slight issues early on with wet dreams which I was able to remedy. I haven't watched porn since right around the time I began SR as well.

There are very few topics on 4Chan that I've seen more aggressively attacked than Semen Retention.

This is because keeping the average man in sin & vice makes him easier to enslave. If you can overcoming your primal urges then its incredibly difficult for any man or system to control you.

Also evil then heavily promotes said vice & sin to monetize it as well.

Tell her to go fuck herself. Preemptively send a message to your contact list warning you have been hacked and not to open anything weird they may get sent by you in the future. Other than that just don't let it bother you, no one really gives a shit anyway assuming you are out of school. If I got a video of one of my friends jacking off I'd just laugh and move on.

I have a puzzling dilemma for you all. I've been practicing SR for quite a while now, I've had phases with no wet dreams and frequent wet dreams alike. Now, whenever I approach or talk to a woman, things usually go well, conversation is nice, everything works, then I go to bed and get nightfall. Then the next day I find they lose interest, they ghost me, they lose the spark in their eyes, whatever. I'm not engaging in lustful thoughts, my goal is a celibate relationship, my intentions are clear beforehand. I have no idea why this is happening. Should I wait for the right woman to drop into my life? Am I to remain alone for the purposes of a higher power? I can't tell what it means. Help me anons.

P.S, the wet dreams themselves are not of a sexual nature.

I know you folks mean well, normies actually get taught that, I know because it is not the first time I've read semen is a waste that needs to be expelled from the body just like poop, and if you pay careful attention the current thing seems to be shill posts offering a more neutral view, like:

>but course SR is amazing, but...<

the Christian anon that said in the last thread that there is no way this is organic might be onto something, just ignore that kind of posts because it attracts more attention whoring making it harder on everyone. Rather if you find someone asking if such things are true or not, offer a counter point then.
>>
Become a Catholic. Confess to a priest every time you relapse. Trust me, having to confess your sins to a real person will help you stop in committing them as much. I slowly went from no porn, to no AI erotic text, to now where I only confess that I look at women's bodies in public sometimes, and even that I'm working on.

I am free of porn and fapping, and I thank God in part for it because I could not do this alone.

A lot of the posts on here are about people trying to struggle through or power through desires, there is another way.

I've been doing SR for a while now.. my longest streak is something like 150 days, I only break streaks with my GF, never on my own, it's probably been a decade since I've done that I can't remember.

Anyway recently I discovered a practice called "Returning fire to (it's) origin." It is a practice that monastics in the Chan and Taoist traditions use to calm their sexual energy, obtrusive thoughts etc. I've been playing around with it and it's sort of a game changer. I'm not sure if I am able to do it relatively easily because I have learned other qigong in the past, but it's not that complicated, for me anyway. There are several methods, none of them are over complicated, as far as qigong goes. One basic method is to massage the yong quan point (kindney 1) a few hundred times before bed. The feeling is that the sexual energy, rebellious qi, nervous energy, lustful thoughts, settle / sink into a sort of container where they don't cause problems, and instead generate a calm powerful energy. Give it a try.

Day 65 checking in.
My brain has tried all kinds of tricks and now it's trying to convince me that I've already relapsed so I might as well relapse.
It's circular logic but it's somewhat convincing because the last couple days, while not as shitty as the day 7 - 21 part, have felt really similar to back when I was gooning.
Like constantly angry, tense, afraid.
But I have been retaining and no wet dreams, so it's all in my head.

It is just me, or when you retain without feeling urges, there are virtually no benefits?
I've been going in and out on SR, sometimes mainly because I felt no urges. But now that is more "difficult" because of said urges, I'm starting to feel more benefits and quicker, and it actually makes a lot of sense obviously. No urges equals no energy.
Can someone confirm?

Yeah, one of the most immiedate benefits of semen retention I felt during the first 3 weeks of retaining was needing a minimal amount of sleep to feel well rested. When I was an addict, 12 hours of sleep felt like 4. Now, 6 hours of sleep feels like 12.

Christian brothers please pray for me, if you feel so inclined. Been going strong for weeks but stuff went down today with people I thought were my friends and now feeling socially alienated. It feels lonely to be rejected by others. I feel distraught but I’m going to keep going strong no matter what. The alternative is far worse.

The longer I go and the longer I pray, the more I can hear my conscience and realize ways I behaved poorly in the past. But I also realize I have been putting up with people who don’t respect me just to feel less alone.

I remember a year or so ago an anon said that you spent decades being a degen. so it's going to take years to dig out of that hole.

This year I've managed multiple month+ long streaks and at worst can go 16-20~ days in between ejaculations, as opposed to 2023 when I could barely go a week without release.

I started masturbating when I was in the first grade and became a coomer when I had satellite internet in 2004. After years spent being a complete degenerate (5 digit amount of money spent on pornography, daily edging sessions, weekly goon sessions that would last 12+ hours with usually 3 to 7 ejaculations, hard drives filled with all kinds of content).

I have managed to find Semen Retention and did a complete 180 on my behavior. I deleted all porn and installed website blockers (Distract Me Not on Firefox)

>No Anime/Manga
>no Hentai or Doujins
>No Television/Films
>No Music
>Essentially no media created by humans who aren't me
>I only read books written by myself
>No erotic stories
>No AI erotic audio
>No AI chatbots (Luckily I stopped before they became popular)
>No video games
>No more alcohol or Cannabis
>My Tulpa isn't a lewd anime girl anymore

Now a days I focus on cultivating physical and mental strength, such as lifting weights or squats. I also walk daily, usually 45 minutes at a minimum. Meditation, focusing on the breath. Qigong exercises (I suggest Lee Holden on YouTube). Digital Visualization (The ability to recall any image I have seen on a computer screen), Reality Visualization (I can recall any physical 3d space I have existed in since the year 1999), Audio Recall (I can hear any voice I have heard in my life, from my family to fictional characters, say any phrase I want) [These are related to Tulpamancy, by the way]. I practice respecting life itself, by not ejaculating (Semen is Life) and by refusing to eat animals or animal products. Dream recall leading into Lucid Dreaming (even the worst lucid dreams are better than the best vidya).

If a complete failure like myself can accomplish all of this, I'm convinced any else can.

See it as lifting. Your willpower in regards to overcoming temptation is like a muscle. Simply train it to failure. If you fail. Get back up and try again.

If you fail take a break then begin again.

Yes, that is it exactly. The thing with this point, (also the other "1" points,) is that it needs a lot of stimulation before it releases/opens/activates. So you need to press it a lot, like between 100 and 500 times, and you need to go a little deep with a somewhat firm press. Have you ever pressed a rubber diaphram on a lawnmower to get it started? Think of it as a really old lawnmower that hasn't started in years....

It would be hard to illustrate.

The returning fire to origin practice, is something like guiding all the uncontrolled energy that is being generated from SR, and manifests as in newbs as lust, obtrusive thoughts, nervous energy, insomnia, ADHD etc, you guide it back to it's place of origin, which is sort of a containment zone. I guess you could think of it as the core in a nuclear reactor maybe. I can't really describe the feeling but you will know when you hit on it.

You don't even need to massage the kidney point, the source that I have for this says that it can be done with the mind only by a master.

Another thing, other anons have noted the behavior of people and women around them changes on long streaks. I have noticed that after practicing this method some women become like mosquitoes.

An enlightened, contemporary Chan monk. I'm being sent his discourses by one of his students and am just running them through a translator.
The student helps me with the material.I've spent hours and hours reading through them over the last 2 years. Nothing exists in english, and he is not known in the west.

The media likes to have this weird double think dynamic when it comes to masturbation:
If you don't masturbate, people think you're a weird sexless celibate monk loner or something, but if you do masturbate then they see you as a filthy pervert. This keeps you in a constant shame cycle which feeds evil spirits your loosh, even more than just masturbating normally. Now do I think you should feel shame? Yes, it's wrong. But you shouldn't be fapping at all, because then the "negative energy cycle" aspect of it all won't happen. Embrace the idea of "sexless celibate" that people will inevitably push onto you, that's a good thing to be honestly

>>40977734
He will just drop a mention to a practice or exercise like this in a long discourse once in a while without much explanation or referenced an archaic practice. His students have to connect a lot of dots. Over time I've realized that this method seems to be central in his teaching.

exactly. "wanker" is a term of derision and masturbating is loserdom, to be shamed, and yet everyone encourages it and says it's healthy. which is it? they need to go with their shaming instincts, they were right the first time

Something interesting happened.

Overnight, I suddenly am able to get rock hard and stay hard for hours on end. I'm in my mid-30s and this was unthinkable a few months ago. I have the libido of an 18 year old again. And not only that, but my visualization improved overnight as well. I can close my eyes and envision any scenario and see it pretty clearly in my mind's eye.

About to hit month 8 on semen retention. Maybe this is what happens when you reach month 8. I dont know. But it is fucking fantastic
>>
>>40978304
Yes, and? Low and behold, that all these thousands of years, men just so happened to coincidentally fuck girls who were under 18 all the time, completely naturally with no complications and nothing going wrong, and in some cases providing ever better results than today's standards. It's almost like that's what humans EVOLVED to do, until a bunch of SJW karens and Jews came onto the scene and made it illegal because muh reasons. Now a 19 year old can't fuck a 17 year old because you need third party consent from some demonic overlord.

You're a human and have the privilege of elevated thoughts where as feral demons are not limited by such things. You have inhibitions and a deeper sense of being which manifests in your shame of having a sexual experience. If you would trade your human privilege for an animalistic lifestyle just act like them. Take your shirt off and spend all day outside for maximum vitamin D exposure, swinging from lamp posts, raping, running away with stolen items and fighting police. Try limiting your thoughts and words to bragging about how you're better than others and how you're basically a god that can do anything you want, with power over everyone else who are cucks.

I used to visit these threads daily for motivation, it's been a month I left because I knew that was it, I can't masturbate without my will from now, i have overcome this addiction, it's like I have crossed that autopilot barrier. little backstory, I started reading books on spirituality, addiction, neurology, psychology 3 months back, I have read dense books and that propelled me to mindfulness, so I started meditating, I have around 30 hours, very simple meditation, notice the breath and bring back the awareness if it moves away, now i can control my mind and guide to where it is needed, i started to notice the source of many of my problems, i used to overthink and ruminate on negative thoughts, now whenever I started chaining negative thoughts, i caught it & brought it back to breath, i applied this to lustful images & porn, it was difficult at first, but with repetitions it became so easy, i entirely overcome this but I had other addictions, i used to browse web, watch youtube, read books, in total i used to spend 12+ hours daily on smartphones, i guess this was my escapism, i applied the same process here, but this took longer time, i uninstalled reddit and installed back 3-4 times, but I am at that point where these things don't even bother me, i don't even need to apply my willpower, these all happened naturally that i didn't even notice when it changed, yesterday was the first day in maybe last10 years, where I sat and studied for 10+ hours without zero mental resistance, I was fully present in my learning, I had no anxiety, my memory was so good it was 10x than usual, i think I can finally say I am the controller of my life. (1/2)
>>
I have lost interest in things I used to enjoy, i used to be jealous, envious now I am compassionate, empathetic, news and some posts here would trigger me but now I observe them in an objective way, there is a space between me and them, they don't affect me directly, lustful images and porn don't even arouse me, if I see a beautiful woman in media, I just enjoy seeing them like i would see a beautiful flower or an art, makes me very happy, unlike before where my mind used to fantasize, then get depressed knowing i can't have it. I'm on 65 days clean streak if that matters (2/2)

>>40978068
Not if I keep doing it. Might be better off doing it once a week but not even because that one will make me even more exhausted because I am getting not used to it, tried it. I want to go 30 days and on my 25th birthday have the best fap ever and go celibate fully. Fun fact I am over 48 hours without doing it and without having even a beer and I am literally disgusted by porn. I peeked at some and it made me nauseous and made me sick, insane the way porn can become attractive to us again once the ojas and semen build up. If I could maintain this asexual state I am right now in, nothing bothering me, I would be very happy and content.

Started from "William Walker Atkinson"s The Master Mind" last year December, from then to "RAW's Prometheus Rising", "You are the placebo by Joe Dispenza", Few Osho books, "The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle", Short Ken Wilber Book, "My Big TOE by Thomas Campbell", "The Untetherd Soul by Michael Singer", "Awakening to The Natural State by John Wheeler", "Andrew Holecek Dream of Light" these books were all good but one book that stopped my seeking journey and forced me to work on praxis was "The Matter with Things by Iain McGilchrist", it's a 1000 page highly dense scientific book, it's main point is proving spiritual right hemisphere of our brain is hijacked by inferior left hemisphere and that's the reason for many of our modern issues but in proving this it covers lot of philosophy, spirituality etc, it took me one month to finish it. Besides I'm searching spirituality related posts from last 3 years on reddit & 4chan /x/ archives.
>>
>>40978723
of his teaching, yes.

Just occupy yourself with other shit beyond sitting in front of a pc/scrolling phone.
Even during my teenage years when I was fapping several times a day I would sometimes go without a fap for days if I was busy with something. So my advice start a couple of hobbies like cooking or excercizing and do it on a schedule instead of a whim.

Daily reminder that if you don't use it, you lose it. If your schizo theories were right about sexual energy, chi ,vril etc. Then men like genghis khan wouldn't exist. There are plenty of chads spilling their seed 24/7 while being energized, meanwhile the SR bros reject life.They look at being high test, high sexdrive, spreading your genes as a bad thing, while they withdraw from everything and some go to such extremities to even avoid eating meat and doing anything that would increase their libido. Do you really want to be a chud monk your entire life?

Genghis Khan didn't have a porn addiction. We are born with a finite amount of life force. For Mozart or Jesus offspring, celibacy is key. I bet his parents were retainers

Does anybody believe the parasite theory
I took the wormwood,cloves,black walnut trio and it helped a lot
I dont how long im clean but my anxiety and general feeling of lust towards porn is almost gone.

It is fucking beautiful how Semen Retention brought me back to life! For real, I am again myself, my deepest self that was hidden for way too long!!

How the hell does it work, I don’t know, but retaining my semen, cutting lust and porn, worked for me, I am simply grateful, fucking happy that I got something that is so sublime and powerful at the same time, it feels so easy now, living feels easy, the creativity, the charm, the confidence, whole aura, you are becoming your best self, your sharpest self, it’s ridiculous.

When I thought I’m already better at day 16, now at the day 22 I feel like it’s just getting started, I am rearranging myself in the way I always should have been, it’s insane how automatic and in tact it becomes on SR, it’s like the universe is by your side again, like there’s some source of energy that is cheering for your success and progress, I love you all

I don't get it. Why do these and LoA threads always have people posting actively against the core ideas? No one is pushing for scams like buing candles or crystals here, no one is pushing for rejecting your family or anything of sorts.

Even paranormal part aside one thread is about having positive perception of self and the other one is about controlling your urges. Where's the harm? And why so many people get mad by this?
>>
>>40979664
You have strong energy anon. But be very careful with your excitement. On early streaks when I get excited, in hindsight that's why I fail.

I'm on a series of long streaks now. Maybe you'll be different - just felt I should warn you to be forever vigilant.

>parasite theory
You mean the theory that parasites are the cause for extreme lustful activity to the point of sodomy? then yes. I’ve seen fags take the parasite pill and become straight

They can't last a week and/or don't see benefits within a week. People get mad at those they have no chance of obtaining. 90 days of SR is as hard if not harder than having 2 girlfriends at the same time. As usual it's the people in the middle that get fucked.

>>40965515
We are living in the hyperbolic time chamber. All the major institutions (Media, education, government, entertainment) are the 10X gravity that pushes us down.

Hella respect to any1 who practices semen retention in this 10X gravity world. We are doing some serious lifting and going to come out of here unimaginably strong.

This is why you keep failing. You don’t actually want to quit. Do you think an alcoholic would be able to quit alcohol when they don’t actually have any desire to do that?

the nigger troll bread baker is now:
1. Literally rushing to make a new thread before the old one hits even 315 messages, effectively splitting the conversation
2. Including less and less of the original OP that had to be spread, from 5-7 posts it's now 3
3. Keeps leaving the sacred PSA out
4. Is still a fag
