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)...>> I hereby bless this thread and all who come here with righteous intent. He who cometh with righteous intent will surely be blessed in this endeavor and all others.>> He who cometh with malicious intent will surely be cast out and held accountable for their trespasses against their fellow man.>> Godspeed my fellow retainers.Previous thread >>42472114
Getting a Physical Calendar has made SR so easy for me. I was already retaining and dirty streaking (edging 2-3 times a day) but once I got a calendar it got so much easier. I get to mark every day that I succeed and it just made something click on my brain. Get a calendar if you struggle to streak!Also, does anyone have personal experience with going from Dirty to Clean streaks?
>>42518582I'm experiment-minded, so after a mind-blowing but difficult first SR experience that lasted for 2 months or so and ended with a mental health episode, I decided to do the opposite. I literally forced myself to coom every single day for about 2 years. I missed a day here or there, I coomed twice now and then, but by the end of it I was in horrible physical shape, suffering mentally worse than on a bad SR mental health episode, and since then I've lasted over 2 months easily on SR and have already gotten in better shape and have noticed other improvements as well. I believe 2 years of SR will be easy compared to 2 years of intentional cooming.
Dreams are starting to get pretty nice, dreamt that hatsune miku was feeding me noodles telling me to say "aah". I used to goon to this character but I find her too pure to pervert now
>>42518519Day 75Bit of a shitshow for the last few days. Urges more intense than before, but we maintain. Earlier in the week, I was fasting (Wednesday) and that day in particular was strange cause I was "tested" multiple times throughout the day. Lots of little situations of people trying to get under my skin/rage-bait me. I passed all of those tests, found a couple of dollars on the ground. But ultimately broke my fast early, should've went straight home, but it happens.I recommend NOT taking any "testosterone" sups. IMO you don't need KSM-66/Ashwaghanda/Tongkat etc. Your semen will give you the energy that you need. I took KSM-66 in the form of one of those non-carbonated drinks that had some in it. My temperament was hair-thin, still is but not as much as before. Damn near bed-rotted until work cause I was so mad/sad, I didn't complete all of my daily habits for the last few days.I expect my temperament to return to normal in a day or two. Coming in on 90 days, god willing.Let's keep it pushing.
Warning to anyone considering this: Use it or lose it. You won't be able to get boners anymore if you do this for too long. That is not ro say uou should be a fornicator or a gooner. It's just not a young man's game. At least have kids first. If you're an incel and going for full wizard status that's up to you. Except for the incel part obviously.
>>42518694You are supposed to use it by meditating and refining the energy
>>42518694found the jew.
>>42518694"use it or lose it" is a fucking memeI have harder boners when I'm on a long SR streak.
>>42518694Hello rabbi
>>42518719Same. 100% a meme.
I feel like becoming a retainer. The universe decided for me to wait this long. What should i listen to on youtube?
On day 6, I haven’t drank caffeine for like 5 months and I accidentally just consumed like a 140 mg. Faurk bros.
I stopped NoFap back in November. my gym workouts have been intense. I picked up boxing which has been a huge plus, and my body has become much leaner and more muscular. I also stopped focusing on lifting heavy weights and started prioritizing movement conditioning Recently my niece passed away, and there was a lot of family drama surrounding it. I didn't really have a healthy way to cope out of frustration I ended up looking at porn. I didnt fap but I'm not sure if that counts as breaking my streak. I still say I haven't fapped since November.I thought NoFap wasn't anything magical. I wasn't expecting it to suddenly make women interested in me, and I was doing it for myself anyway. But I might have to take that back a little. Just recently, a girl at the gym came up and started talking to me because she recognized me from church and had seen me around the gym several times. She's beautiful great shape, dedicated to fitness. The only thing giving me pause is that she has a child.It has me wondering whether I should be asking God for a specific woman.
>>42518582I’ve been on SR for about 3 or 4 months and continue, but during this whole time, I’ve been having periods where I’d relapse into a so-called 'dirty streak' - specifically, texting with some hoes from dating apps. Honestly, it feels like a total failure to me. I manage to hold out for a while, but then it just hits me. Right now, im stuck at home, somewhat isolated, and unfortunately, i can’t change that situation at the moment. Sometimes it gets me down, and I end up relapsing into texting and fantasies. It’s unrelated and stupid, but that’s just how it happens. Still, im keeping at it and working to fix this
I'm noticing that my kinks are subsiding. /Gif/ is fucking gross, and the cruel femdom stuff I used to watch is just weird now. Anyone else notice this?
>>42519185You're really down on yourself for having come so far. You've gotten so far that a "relapse" is just texting while still retaining.Sounds like you are doing great.
>>42519382Thanks for the support, anon.Continuing to work on correcting my mindset and breaking that stupid habit.Wishing everyone the best of luck! I hope everyone gets the results they’re aiming for.
>>42518618based science chad proving sr empirically so we don't have to
>>42518852This nigga wants something to listen to on youtube
>>42518694What's fucked up about these demon posts is that they actually work. I used to believe this fearmongering nonsense. Of course general addiction made it so I wasn't gonna test it out for myself anyway, but it certainly made it mentally harder to stop when filled with these delusions.I wouldn't normally quote such demon posts but feel I should share my experience for anyone who even has the slightest uncertainty or fear that it is true; it is not, and this is a post bourne of the lowest vibrations and designed to drag others down too so your lost peace of mind can be harvested in the form of loosh
any advice for doing SR and not becoming neurotic as fuck about it ? especially regarding anything sexual. I've been doing it for like a decade and I think I've repressed my sexuality too much instead of fully transmuting
>>42519730I personally do not understand this, nothing is repressed for me anymore, it just isn't interesting. try understanding sex for what it is, a dangerous and forceful action only made pleasurable through an artificial desire fulfillment (as its not necessary for survival). desire for it naturally fades leaving nothing behind
The reason you see women as objects is because they're shallow whores with no substance behind them, fucking them would be no different than fucking an animal (like an object). You're tapping into animal behaviour because they themselves are unevolved animals, it's literally their fault. Don't let whores drag you down to their level.
Lets peak our spirits up gang,
>>42519376/Gif/ is the hell of this website.
>>42518694this simply isn't true. i retained for months and literally went through doubt such as "oh no, maybe my cock doesn't work anymore, maybe my balls are non-functional now" and then guess what I still pumped out massive load of cum and another massive load of cum and another massive load of cum.
>>42519730view it as life force energy, not inherently 'sexual energy' in the modern concept of sex. What I mean is view it as something more than mere pleasure, mere hedonism. Hopefully that helps you re-frame the energy and better utilize it rather than totally nuking your libido via suppression of 'lust'.
>>42518694It's not true you won't get boners. I woke up with some rock-hard erections. Yeah, you go through periods where not a lot is happening down there.I had a girl throwing herself at me and I was so nervous about sex that I blew it. I hadn't even touched my dick in like a month at that point. You may argue sex anxiety is a seperate issue. I never really enjoyed sex, because it always felt more like pressure than fun. Thinking about it, if I hadn't retained, I probably wouldn't have been in that situation anyway. So, you get yourself in some weird situations doing this. I guess it's a learning experience.Just as an aside, I just spent 7 days in a sunny country where the sun was blazing ALL the time. I live in Northern Europe, so I wasn't used to that. My general health improved so much and my sex-drive sky-rocketed to levels I hadn't felt in probably years. Just something to think about.
>All of a sudden, out of no where>One day, just don't want to fap anymore>I'm not less horny, just don't really care about fapping>Like its not going to satisfy the lustful desires I have so why bother?>This after probably my entire life of nearly daily fapping with dry edging done a lot too>Didn't even read these threads or anything when it happenedI never really believe in the stuff in these threads and wasn't reading it at all when this happened. Just thought you guys might no what it means. Its about 2 weeks now I think and I didn't really think this would happen.
>when male salmon spawn, their bodies start to deteriorate and fall apart, only living long enough to reach the end of their migration.>salmon reproducing quite literally causes their body to rapidly die and they start becoming zombie-like as a result.>now as humans, this doesn't happen when we "spawn", partner or not, due to the fact our reproduction is slower and more singular in nature, as well humans being longer lived in general. However this effect is still present in minute ways.>after ejaculation, men will become weaker, both body and mind, and will become less coordinated because of this. Awful odors will emerge as well (usually from the mouth)>in a spiritual sense, this is sin and explains why it weakens your connection to the Lord. Although this in particular seems worse in a lot of ways, since it also causes so many other problems, many that run much deeper; it changes your brain chemistry too, but that's another topic for another post.Don't coom unless it's for reproduction bros, don't be a dying salmon.
>>42519376>/Gif/ is fucking grossPossibly one of the most vile parts of this site. I truly wonder what the minds of the regular users of that board are like. That, and /d/ as well.
Day 5.
>>42521294These threads are necessarily debased and its embarrassing to post in them, and are but a pale reflection of the truth that you just awakened to. but are nonetheless important for discussion of such
Day 0. Longest I've gone was over 2 weeks years ago. Trying to do ~30 days did 10 days last month.
Sr purifies your astral body.
