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.>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)...>The only thing worth busting for is having children. Once you realize this you win SR.Previous >>42215060
>>42249832These retard threads have been going on for years now. Let's some before/after body pics or videos of people beating their PRs who directly attribute their success to nofap
>>42249832Thanks for baking. Not my particular flavor of bread, but the baker decides that.
>>42249832Been off of porn and cannabis for 3 months, and now I'm on day 20 of no fap. This is the longest I've been off of all these things. Wish me luck sirs.
When I fap I>get acne >dry skin>dry and dead looking hair>no bass in my voice>zone out all the time>brain fog>depression symptoms>no urgency or motivation >bad diet>nobody gravitates towards meI have no other choice but to practice SR. I don’t care if scientific faggot nerds say there’s no proof of any benefits but personally I am not a real human when i jerk off into a tissue
>>42250508I don't even care about women just about becoming normal human being again
Almost on day 8 after coming off a binge. Things arent as good as shorter streaks, but things seem like they are starting to look up. Urges haven't been very strong though so hopefully i can avoid the temptation when it comes and flee.
>>42249832I've made a sigil with the intent to not masturbate ever again and then charged it by masturbating. The next morning I still had very explicit images of a certain girl that I know, however I hadn't touched myself or even grinded against the bed sheets like I'd normally do. Am I doing this right? Did I just hack my reality?
>>42250744When you coom it's as if you are invisible.weird feeling
I never watch porn and never masturbate since 2 months already but I have sex with my gf like 7-8 times a week. Am I limiting my potential by having sex?
>>42251575Apparently yeah, maybe spiritually but I refuse to accept it affects you mentally (porn FUCKS YOU UP proper)I masterbated to porn about a week ago and I will be meeting my gf 3 weeks after no porn, do you think she will notice?I fucked up I know
Did 20 kegels today. 10th day of nofap.
>>42249832Day 45 and i was chatting up a cute girl at the gym and mid convo i asked her what music she is listening to and she took her right airpod out and gave it to me to listen to the song and before she left she grabbed my shoulder. I don't know if she is into me but i think it's a mire. Only downside is that she had small tattoo (some words beneath her elbow)
When you reach my level you can jack your dick to porn and not cum. You won't have blue balls either. I've done this for 2 years
>>42252400How would one reach your level?
>>42252400i am edging to hotblockchain rnFUCKIN SUCCUBUS OF A WOMAN I TELL YOU
>>42249845this is not reddit retard, if you want to see people post pictures of themselves go there
>>42251575You are still extremely depleted and have likely no ojas in your higher energy centers
>>42250744It's not so much the cooming itself that's bad, but more so where you're sending the sexual energy. Without a partner to bounce their energy back off to you, or turning the energy inward, you're essentially just shooting your life force away into nothingness, and using some hypothetical porn scenario to do it which just rots your soul and fuels fetishes further. It makes sense that you'd end up looking and feeling like a withered.>an illusion?>what are you hiding?Unless you can reliably cultivate the energy it's best kept inside, instead of endlessly feeding loosh to system. Use the loosh to break out of the system instead.There is some hypothetical scenario where you could technically still fap while also correctly sending the energy to where it needs to go, but that's extremely advanced shit that should be left until you have a good understanding of what you're even doing. You have to do AT LEAST a 1-2 month streak for the "full reset" (might be longer depending on severity) then go from there
Is the Christian femanon here? I have some questions for you
Lifting weights: yay or nay?
>>42252953eh mid
>>42253042LOL bruh... you have no idea what you're talking about
A couple months clean streak. Was pretty much monk mode. Actually just got really bored and felt like I was just doing things because I am supposed to be productive or something. Didn't pan out and started gooning again because life was so dull. How do I find something in life that I am genuinely stimulated by which can compete and hold interest?
>>42251575Have sex but don't cum that how do it.I actually prefer that over cumming
>>42253583>t. someone who hasn't made it past week 1Opinion discarded
I'm going back to retention this practice seem to give an odd sense of comfort and things just work out while whenever I'm not on retention things go to absolute abhorrent shit even though I do a lot of effortit's a weird equation ejaculating gives me the ability to be disciplined but no luck at all
Want to try this but got no self discipline - is wearing a chastity cage acceptable and still SR?
>>42254863The best part about SR is the eventual removal of all fetishes, so no. Don't be a faggot.
Did 20 kegels today. 11th day of nofap.
Day 8. Urges are strong, bored out of my mind and feeling depressed.
