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 (kidney 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.
