>In case of urges:
- https://imgur.com/a/nofap-anecdotal-evidence-g4eGH
- 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)
- Avoid stimulant drugs such as caffeine or adderall

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).

It’s always good to remember why /x/ is the most accurate place for this topic: semen retention is one of the clearest paranormal inducing thing of all the other topics discussed on /x/. It’s a sacred practice that has been the one of the main focuses in every major religion or spiritual practices. The mystical side of it is what we try to focus on in here.

Semen retention can be political issue too and it would then belong to /pol/. The porn industry is a tool made by the jews to deterioate the societies and corrupt the people. The porn works in ways that program new sets of behaviour in its audience and the audience is hooked to it because of its strong addictive qualities. The most important goal for porn’s male audience was and is the releasing of their semen. As we now know, the disadvantages of cooming are heavy: a man becomes less of a man, he gets sick and weak, his mind numbed, he will have impotence issues etc. Also his spirit almost dies.

Semen retention is beneficial to make one healthier and stronger, more fit, if you will. So the topic could be discussed on /fit/. Anyone looking for more ways to get fitness gains would benefit hugely from the SR.

Also the SR has so many other benefits that it could be discussed in the /adv/ board. These would be topics how it improves one’s social life, mental state, makes more time to be more productive etc.

But I think the biggest benefits of SR are something mystical in nature and the whole practice is fundamentally something very close to spiritual side of things. All the other topics in here /x/ are left far behind and SR actually makes this board of any relevancy. This is also known by the enemy and they make strong efforts to suppress, hijack, twist and end this discussion.

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.

Just dropping in to say that my life right now is actually UNBELIEVABLE due to retaining. The energy you can harness and the magnetism you have with not just people, life, animals and the world itself. The freedom you feel. The hot sizzling and buzzing feeling you will have in the pit of your stomach... the contentment, the yearning, the music, the colour. I'm not on top of the world, but I do feel the world. Thanks for reading and hope it made sense to you.

Chapter 12: Beware of Cutting Down

Many users resort to cutting down as a stepping-stone towards stopping, or as an attempt to control the little monster. Many recommend cutting down or a ‘porn diet’ as a pick-me-up. Using cutting down as a stepping stone to stopping is fatal. It’s these attempts to cut down that keep us trapped for the remainder of our lives. Generally, cutting down follows failed attempts to stop. After a few hours or days of abstinence the user says something like:

“I can’t face the thought of going to sleep without visiting my online harem, so from now on I’ll just use porn once in four days or purge my collection of ‘bad porn’. If I can follow this porn diet, I can either hold it there or cut down even further.”

Certain terrible things now happen:

1. They’re stuck with the worst of all worlds, still addicted to internet porn and keeping the monster alive not only in their body, but in their mind.
2. Wishing their life away waiting for the next session.
3. Prior to cutting down, whenever they wanted to visit their harem they’d fire up their browser and at least partially relieve their withdrawal pangs. Now in addition to the normal stresses of life, they’re causing themselves to suffer the withdrawal pangs for most of their lives, which makes them even more miserable and bad-tempered.
4. Whilst indulging, they neither enjoyed most of the sessions nor realized they were using a supernormal stimulus. It was automatic, the only harem visit that was enjoyed was one after a period of abstinence. Now that they wait an extra hour, day, or week for each visit, they ‘enjoy’ each one. The longer waited, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session appears to be, because the ‘enjoyment’ in a session isn’t the session itself — it’s the ending of the agitation caused by the craving — whether slight physical craving or mental moping. The longer the suffering, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session becomes.

>>41014541
The primary difficulty in stopping isn’t the neurological addiction, which is easy. Users will stop without difficulty on various occasions — the death of a loved one, family or work affairs, etc. They’ll go, say, ten days without access and it doesn’t bother them. But if they went the same ten days when they could’ve had access to porn, they’d be tearing their hair out.

Many users will get chances during their work day and abstain, or they’ll pass through Victoria’s Secret or swimming pools and so on without undue inconvenience. Many will abstain if they have to sleep on the couch temporarily to make space for a visitor, or are themselves visiting. Even in Go-Go bars or nudist beaches there have been no riots. Users are almost pleased for someone or something to say they cannot view porn. In fact, users who want to quit get a secret pleasure out of going for long periods without harem visits, giving them hope that perhaps one day they’ll never want it.

The real problem when stopping is brainwashing, an illusion of entitlement that internet porn is some sort of prop or reward and life will never be the same without it. Far from turning you off internet porn, all that cutting down accomplishes is leaving you feeling insecure and miserable, convincing you that the most precious thing on this earth is the new clip you missed, that there’s no way you’ll be happy again without seeing it.

There is nothing more pathetic than the user who’s been trying to cut down, suffering from the delusion that the less porn they watch, the less they’ll want to visit their online harem. The reverse is true — the less they watch porn, the longer they suffer withdrawal pangs and the more they ‘enjoy’ the relief of relieving them. However, they’ll notice their favourite genre isn’t hitting the spot. But that won’t stop them: if the tube sites were dedicated to only one star or one genre, no user would ever go more than once.

>>41014554
Difficult to believe? What’s the worst moment of self-control one feels? Waiting for four days and then having a climax. Then, what’s the most precious moment for most users on a four-day porn diet? That’s right, the same climax after waiting for four days! Do you really believe that you’re masturbating to enjoy the orgasm, or the more rational explanation that you need to relieve withdrawal pangs under the illusion that you’re entitled to?

Removal of the brainwashing is essential to remove illusions about porn before you extinguish that final session. Unless you’ve removed the illusion that you enjoy it before you close that window, there’s no way you can prove it afterwards without getting hooked again. When hovering over bookmarks and saved pictures, ask yourself where the glory in this action is. Perhaps you believe that only certain clips are of good taste, like ones on habitual or favourite themes. If so, why bother to watch other videos or themes? Because you got into the habit? Why would anyone habitually mess up their brain and waste themselves? Nothing is different after a month, so why should a porn clip be any different?

You can test this yourself. Find that hot clip from last month to prove it’s different. Then, set a reminder and watch the same clip after a month without porn. It will hit (almost) the same spots as it did last month. The same clip will be different after a social event where you’re turned down or tested by a potential partner. The reason being that the addict can never be fully happy if the little monster remains unsatisfied.

Where does satisfaction come into it? It’s just that they’re miserable if they can’t relieve their withdrawal symptoms. The difference between watching porn and not is the difference between being happy and miserable. That’s why internet porn appears to be better. Users who get on their sites first thing in the morning for porn are miserable whether watching it or not.

>>41014559
Cutting down not only doesn’t work, but is the worst form of torture. It doesn’t work because initially the user hopes that by getting into the habit less and less, they’ll reduce their desire to watch porn. It’s not a habit, it’s addiction. The nature of any addiction is wanting more and more, not less and less. Therefore in order to cut down, the user has to exercise willpower and discipline for the rest of their lives. So, cutting down means willpower and discipline forever. Stopping is far easier and less painful; there are literally tens of thousands of cases in which cutting down has failed.

The problem of stopping isn’t the dopamine addiction, which is easy to cope with. It’s the mistaken belief that porn gives you pleasure, brought about initially by brainwashing received before we started using, further reinforced by the actual addiction. All cutting down does is reinforce the fallacy further, to the extent that porn dominates their lives completely and convinces them that the most precious thing on earth is their addiction.

I'll add this to the 2nd post.
>>41014508
I'll add these to scientific evidence (5th).

Anyone else who wants to add shit, try and keep it short like this guy or put it all in a pastebin like others have done before.

>>41014565
The handful of cases that do succeed have been achieved by a relatively short period of cutting down, followed by going ‘cold turkey’. These users stopped in spite of cutting down, not because of it. All it did was prolong the agony, failed attempts leaving users nervous wrecks and even more convinced they’re hooked for life. This is usually enough to keep them reverting back to their online harem for pleasure and crutch, or at least for another stretch before the next attempt.

However, cutting down does help to illustrate the futility of porn, clearly demonstrating that visits to the harem are not enjoyable after periods of abstinence. You have to bang your head against a brick wall (suffer withdrawal pangs) in order to make it nice upon stopping. Therefore, the choices are:

Cutting down for life and suffering self-imposed torture, which you’ll be unable to do anyway.

Increasingly torturing yourself for life, which is pointless.

Being nice to yourself, and cutting porn out altogether.

The other aspect that cutting down demonstrates is that there’s no such thing as the odd or occasional harem visit. Internet porn is a chain reaction that will last the rest of your life unless you make a positive effort to break it.

Remember: Cutting down will drag you down.

I'm trying. I went to the doctor, but they said this is a physiological need (like taking a piss), but prescribed me Naltrexone regardless, which is usually for alcohol/opioid addiction. It helped, since I've been doing it way less (lasted 8 days without it, which was a huge improvement) but relapsed eventually.
I don't wanna do this anymore, I hate it. It feels sad, it makes me miserable, but the body demands it most likely out of habit.
That week was the best I ever had in months, but I couldn't keep it like that. I'm so tired of this endless cycle.

Reposting from last thread, any help is appreciated.

Anons how do you really stop the desire to have friends and seek companionship? I just can't accept being utterly alone all the time. SR is right and it has helped me alot but it cannot erase the past. But my past is nothing for I didn't do anything other than being trapped in a mental cage full of brainfog. Clarity of SR has shown me the awful degenerate waste that I was.
What should I do with that information? How can I proceed basically knowing that I wasted the peak of my life daydreaming instead of working towards bettering myself? I am working on myself now so there is that, future isn't as bleak but when my brainfog was cleared because of SR, years of loneliness hit me like a truck. I coped through loneliness and isolation with jerking off and daydreaming. Now I can't do that. It was wrong of me to do it but I wasn't really conscious if you understand me. So while I was alone, I couldn't really feel the true heft of loneliness because of brainfog. Now that it is cleared, all of it is hitting me like a truck. I can literally feel the loneliness of highschool and university days just by closing my eyes. I couldn't understand it back then but I can now.

I really don't know if someone else has felt the same after SR. I will move on and I am doing much better than now so SR is the only way. But I just wanted to know how to deal with realization of what you used to be before SR

PSA to drink more water, it can help expedite your recovery. Be sure that when you piss your urine stream is crystal clear. If it isn't go get a glass of water and start hydrating. Also if you are a regular lurker of these threads and active retainer you are likely getting a DNA upgrade and so you should be drinking plenty of water for that reason alone. Many Arcturian channelers all recommend drinking lots of water.

What is brain fog?

women, especially the pretty ones, smell insanely better on retention. It's the first time I noticed this.

Maybe I am smelling better too? Women are talking to me more now. Anyone has experience with this

>>41016122
You can't and shouldn't stop the desire to make friends since it is a natural thing. Sometimes experiencing that yearning is what we are meant for in life. I think I am meant to experience that in some regards as well, though with different personal issues. It is painful but better than filling that hole with something bad. Part of not being an NPC is allowing yourself to feel the pain of that privation, whether or not it can be remedied.

Really what I'm saying is that it's a strong emotion that shouldn't be suppressed. If anything, try to capture it in some poetry.

Depends what your goals are. If you're in your 20s and trying to fix porn addiction, ED, anxiety depression, relationships with women, then you will probably benefit from reducing caffeine but it's not crucial.

If you want to advance your spiritual life then you really should quit because spiritual stuff is subtle and you will miss a lot of it with your nervous system overstimulated on caffeine.

Reminder that if you're struggling to get into the month long streak territory then it's okay to do structured on purpose faps (it's how I made it)
>3 days
>5 days
>1 week
>2 weeks
>etc
I should note though, this should only be used as a last resort, and if you can go for longer than your allocated days then go for it. This is ONLY for people who are really struggling, like desperately. Make sure you follow the rules though, for this to be effective you not only have to not look at porn, but also not touch yourself (not even a half fap), and do your absolute best to avoid dirty thoughts (these aren't so bad early on, but become a real problem during the longer streaks).
>You get a bonus if you decide not to use porn on your fap day, by the way.
I've found that by having a set goal day, it made me push forward where normally I would have given in and relapsed. After a while of doing this, you will naturally abandon the structure entirely and fledge into an SR chad where you don't even think about fapping anymore, because you'll find that you're enjoying your time more and more without it. You will find that the few times you do go to revisit porn you won't even be interested by it anymore (even disgusted in some cases), and if you do relapse your brain will realise the reward from cooming is not commensurate with the amount of shitness you feel afterwards, and associate that with a negative feeling. In essence, your brain will be tricked into thinking that fapping makes you feel bad, and the urge to do it will almost completely vanish given enough time.

There will be shills who instantly reply to this post trying to say this is a horrible idea, followed by some completely retarded baseless logic as to why. They don't want struggling people to make it, just ignore them. Take this arcane knowledge, and use it to defeat the demons. Godspeed

I'm in a similar boat, wherein I basically spent the last 5 years just jerking off, working, working out, playing counterstrike and music. I basically abandoned my social life and grew apart from my friends cause they're kinda normie-ish and smoke pot all the time. because of SR (2 years this month) I've been pushing myself back out into the world, and I've realized how boring and useless my life is. it's a deep, visceral painful realization. now when I reconnect with old friends from different circles, go to events, etc I'm seeing how socially active and connected and warm most people are. would I trade the knowledge and "awareness" gained from SR for an active and warm social life? probably not. but I really feel like I missed out on a lot of life while I went hard monk mode.
but now we're awake. and restarting to live when you're older is not easy, but it beats abandoning social plans and days in the sun to go to the goon cave and stroke the goon stick. never again.

anyone dealing with ocd and masturbation?
i dont actually have a problem with the self discipline, dealing with horny feelings, flatlines, etc
but i have developed some ocd like patterns where i'll masturbate to "cleanse" my energy or flush unwanted energy out of my system
such as if someone gives me a pat on the back i'll jerk off to "clear" that energy
if i was left on my own alone in a cabin i'd be fine, its the dealing with other people, someone tailgating in traffic, etc, that are my triggers

This is ONLY for people who are really struggling, like desperately. Make sure you follow the rules though, for this to be effective you not only have to look at porn, but also touch yourself (even a half fap), and do your absolute best to have dirty thoughts.
>You etta bonus if you watch porn on your fap day, by the way.
I've found that by having a set goal day tp jerk off and then ejaculate, it made me relapse. After a while of doing this, you will naturally abandon any hopes of abstinence entirely and fledge into an masturbator where you don't even think about not fapping anymore, because you'll find that you're enjoying your time more and more with it. You will find that the many times you do go to revisit porn you will even be interested by it (even delighted in some cases), and if you do relapse your brain will realise the addiction to cooming is commensurate with the amount of shitness you feel afterwards, and associate that with a positive feeling anyway. In essence, your brain will be tricked into thinking that fapping makes you feel good, and the urge to do it will almost completely strengthen given enough time.

There will be goyim i mean shills who instantly reply to this post trying to say this is a horrible idea, followed by some completely retarded baseless logic as to why (such as using masturbating as a tool to stop masturbating is retarded gorilla nigger logic. Which it isn’t becsuse it just is ok??!) They don't want struggling people to masturbate, just ignore them. If you don’t masturbate you’ll get prostate cancer, goy. Just one little touch won’t hurt. If you go cold turkey you WILL die!! It is not possible to completely stop masturbating. Anyone who teels you otherwise is an antisemite. You are antisemtitic if you retain by the way.

5 days clean. Urges are starting to kick in. Wife's good moring kiss, with arms on my shoulders, made me want to put a baby in her womb right on the spot.

Somewhat, like if somebody or something stressed me out or gave me bad vibes then I would see jacking off as a stress relief. But the big gotcha is the tension would resurface later so it just temporarily delays it.
Like let's say somebody made me feel bad about myself, sometime later I'll mess something unrelated up then be like "wow you're such a fucking idiot can you DO ANYTHING right".
What really helped me is prayer and walking around in nature outside.

Nah that's cap, I drink tons of caffeine every day and I'm on Day 73. And before that I was gooning 4 times a day for 10 years straight.
Actually I don't know if I could have gotten through Day 7 through 28 without a good caffeine buzz to offset the constant headaches and feeling shitty and tired.

“Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice…” At some point you have to learn from your mistakes. I don’t care about your method, but if you keep getting fooled, you have other more important issues. The following is from the 3rd post:

I basically went crazy when I came upon the same realization of my life after doing SR. It’s also the cause of most of my relapses.
>run a solid streak without temptations
>few weeks in start to bemoan my wasted lonely 20s, start feeling things much more deeply, even cry much more than usual
>all this because the dopamine induced brain fog lifts
>realize I need to take more risks, be more social, etc
>fear starts gripping me instead of the initial serenity from SR
>start peeking at lustful content and then eventually porn
>bargain with myself that a relapse is ok because all the scary feelings will be numbed out of my mind
>rinse and repeat
I just had another relapse tonight. I’ve stumbled majorly and my business is with God and His forgiveness tonight. I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep making the same mistakes because I can’t cope with the fear and loneliness. A life in stasis ruled by lust is not a worthy one.

>>41016122
My loneliness was never lessened or exacerbated by SR. But standard depression "helped".
I do not believe I will ever be understood or be able to have friends. And as such, why be sad about it anymore than I am sad that I can not fly in the sky like a bird. It is what it is.

If God permits it then so be it, and if not then so be it. The candle of desire has burned itself out.
>>41019014
>A life in stasis ruled by lust is not a worthy one.
What makes you worthy of life or friendship in the first place? What makes anyone for that matter. It simply happens, in my opinion. Some are "luckier" than others.
I don't think worth factors in. If God or other people deign fit to bless you with Grace or Mercy or companionship (respectively), you count yourself grateful, but not worthy.

I hope this question won't come across as weird but how often do you think the average person actually masturbates?

Do you think chronic masturbation (every day to every three days) is only what constantly online people do, such as 4channers? Do non channers/chronlines fap way less frequently? I see lots of energetic outdoors type dudes on YT who seem like they don't fap at all given their level of pure motivation.
I wonder what type of people don't fap at all without even knowing about SR. Maybe some types of boomers? What do you guys think?

>>41017659
Hindsight is always 20/20, its brutal but realizing where you messed up in the past is a sign of growth.

Trigger warning-do not read if vulnerable:


I’ve refrained from masturbation for 6-7 months now, but I regularly have sex and receive fellatio to completion every other day (have a wife), is this essentially just as bad as masturbation or is the fellatio the bad one? I read that sex is okay because spiritually and physically you receive something from her which makes it okay (she is 7 months pregnant as well) but fellatio isn’t (understandably). Should I stop all ejaculation, even though I finish inside her every time?

I'm not sure what you meant with spiritual life here. Here in my country people drink black coffee and still able to communicate with spirits. Shouldn't this not possible if caffeine blocked your system?

SR allows you to feel, to inhabit the world fully and not as a ghost like other people. The world is made of Light and Dark. Darkness is the primordial state, and it will become your default state if you allow yourself to truly feel the world without remembering to 'turn on the Light'. Watch an uplifting movie, go for a walk, listen to an album in full, read a book cover to cover, and use the power of your Will to choose thoughts that fill you with Light. There are also techniques that call down the Light, or summon it from within. These are commonly referred to as magic.

>>41019297
yeah. the spirits they're communicating with are demons.

>>41019442

>>41019528
Cause they’re everywhere. Jews have built an entire industry just to summon as much demons in as much territory as possible throughout the world daily

why don't you tell us? 6-7 months no gooning, but sex play with wife, that's a great control experiment. how do you feel? notice any differences? this board isn't the gospel, you know best.

>>41019528
it's a scapegoat for taking responsibility of their own inner, mental, figurative demons. rather than be a grown adult that says "huh, guess I have some repressed mental chatter or emotional skeletons in the closet that I still have to deal with" some people manifest (and actually hallucinate) LE DEMONZ as these external "entities" that influence and harass them. tldr, children and scary monsters under the bed and all that. they will defend them with the typical wall of text with that classic snobbish undertone and some vague mentioning of their superiority.

Intrusive sexual thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

I figure I will contribute to the thread because I just got one week under my belt and I feel pretty good about that, as it is the longest streak I've had in a while. Something feels different about this one, it feels as though it is easier than the others, and I can't quite put my finger on why that is. I still browse 4chan and see what would normally be sexually stimulating images but now I don't react to them and simply hide them. For example yesterday some jerk posted a nude of this hot Asian lady flashing her pussy that looked almost perfect, it sent a shock throughout my nervous system, but i immediately hide the thread and forgot about it. That was probably the Devil testing me, and I passed. I also still drink caffeine (I am trying to cut down). It might be because I started taking L-Theanine supplements, that's the only difference I've noticed, and also I started meditating regularly again and praying to God, maybe the prayer is what is helping the most. I thank God for keeping lustful thoughts and deeds away and for protecting me when I sleep from encounters with succubi. As I am now on day 7 though, I wake up a little more aroused than usual. I anticipate this aroused feeling will strengthen as time goes on then hopefully diminish. People say the first 30 days are the most difficult, and in past longer streaks this seems to have been the case. My longest streak ever was last year and I got to about 5 months or so of no PMO or masturbation of any kind or peeking. During that streak though, nocturnal emissions were pretty frequent, sometimes multiple times per week even after being a few months into the streak. This time I am going to record my nocturnal emissions more diligently to track whether or not they are going away, and of course ideally I won't have any at all. I also started doing breathwork and transmuting sexual energy up my spine to my higher chakras. I can feel a tingling sensation at my third eye energy center and my crown chakra.

Has anyone here actually experienced a genuine improvement in their life by doing SR?

omg what is that!!! dripping what from what???? what's a stiffy??? THERE IS A DIRTY WORD ON THE THREAD

Ok for real, dripping what? what boys call precum? Yeah, it's a reflex, you have conditioned your body to do that, might take a while but it will go away on its on.
If by any chance you are older than 40, pay attention to that prostate, no, you won't get cancer because of SR but if it's enlarged, zinc depletion could be one cause, perhaps some changes in diet and nutrition are needed.
Not sure if you are the same person but I've seen another post in this on the last thread about urine and semen, you or that person needs to understand that super long term compulsive masturbation can fuck up the muscles and nerves of your pelvic floor, that needs to be taken care of, as usual this is not medical advise if symptoms persist consult your physician etc...

Yep, my life improved in many aspects. The 'depressed' are just stagnant, that's a better word. We all have our own catalysts. The happy ones are not posting ITT. For me, I'm not happy all the time, or energetic, or creative. I don't have all the answers. But I do feel like I'm taking ownership of my reality. I am living to accept the ups and downs I feel. I'm not attaching importance to anything that doesn't deserve it.
My advice is go easy on yourself. That means don't wrestle in your mind. Make time for yourself where you do nothing, just feel what it feels like to sit or lie in place without thinking about past or future. No screens, maybe a little music is good for relaxation. I recommend Brian Eno or Harold Budd. Or better, just be in quiet woods with natural sounds if possible. To be in complete solitude for an extended time is ideal, then return reborn with good wholesome food.
