Do not peek Edition

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)...

shills create threads without the important stuff so here you go

>In case of urges:
- https://imgur.com/gallery/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)

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.

Failed after 15 days, felt like shit in the morning but feeling better now after a run, removed what triggered my urge, we move forward and start again. click.

lost count on what day I am (around 10?) but yesterday I started the gateway tapes and robert monroes book journeys out of the body

>>40683691
this. you get up and do better this time thats the spirit

I'm 28 and its over for me. I need to know this.

Has any late 20s early 30s forever alon NEET virgin loser with no job education or friends managed to change his life thanks to Semen Retention / No Porn/ No Fap? Is it even worth abandoning porn if you are too far gone and this is the only thing you have ever known?

>>40683713
Yep, I was NEET, 26 Now I have friends that invite me to events and parties, I regularly meet with women but not found anyone I'm interested in yet but there has been a bunch interested in me, usually just whores though, I did fuck a couple to show myself I could.

>>40683745
Good for you anon, but did SR help you achieve all of that? Boost your confidence? Make it easier to deal with people? That is what I am asking.

>>40683713
SR will help but only by itself won't get you what you want.

>>40683754
>Yep
SR helped a lot, Boosted my confidence in myself and made it easier to talk to anyone even hot women if you care. SR isn't a magic cure all though, you have to put in effort along side SR, I think of SR as a powerful Steroid, you still need to workout but the gains are so much easier.

I started with being more social, working out 2-3 times a week and going for a run 2-3 times a week. Everything else just came naturally.

>>40683652
retaining the sex energy, the creative life force energy, is the most fundamental thing to personal improvement imo. It will help you to cut through the barriers of your personality, your beliefs about yourself and your life habits that prevent you from becoming what you know you should be. You will simultaneously cultivate your most ardent strength and your greatest sensitivity and compassion. you will understand the burdens of others around you more deeply and find the strength to do what is best for everyone. You will overcome identification with the imagined self and understand that when you act uprightly you benefit the whole reality and there is no reward that is required because the state of being is the reward itself

How can I deal with blue balls? My balls hurt and I can't sleep or study properly, it's driving me insane

>>40684213
dunk them in warm salty ketchup

Been retaining for 4 days now. Not comparable with my longest one but it feels right to be on track again.

>>40684213
Depends on personal preference but either a hot bath or cooling them with water should tame those rascals.
I have made good experiences with both methods but the hot bath has longer lasting results for me.

>>40684246
adding that blue balls typically stop after a day or two. Its the worst for me after 2 days of nofap but afterwards its pretty much nun-exsistant.

It is said that only the nofapper knows what nofap hides as prize to the true nofapper who endures in his nofapping journey towards the many nofapping prizes that nofap hides.

>>40684213
blue balls is not a thing if you dont edge or stimulate your dick, maybe stop edging

>>40684328
no it can happen without stimulation too. Goon too much and they will hurt without you doing anything.

What is a spiritual practice you guys do to enhance your positivity? I'm looking for something complimentary to semen retention

>>40683713
>Is it even worth abandoning porn if you are too far gone and this is the only thing you have ever known?
Being free from porn is a prize in itself

Has semen retention ever cured a fetish for anybody? I have a major foot/giantess/femdom fetish and I want to get rid of it.

I came into the wrong thread, thought this was semen explosion general :S

>>40683635 (OP)
Link the previous thread you stupid fucking newfag retard nigger

2 months since my last cigarette
didnt fap for like 4-5 months, but since my spine is broken (herniated discs) i regularly wake up with an orgasm losing my seed, because nerve signal is interrupted/overexcited/compressed.

so i read up on some tao and learned to physically lock the passage, so my seed is not released but only for the last month or so.
so im only actually 5-6 weeks in. and i already feel way more energised, get stuff done and learned some more things.
also the women are miring me already. it feels insane getting attention from all the females, i tell you anons.
just yesterday i was in the subway and minding my own biz when the train was overcrowded and a bottom heavy girl just positioned herself infront of me (too close for my comfort). i felt her body radiating with lust and energy, so i focused myself on her and she went instantly nervous; i got engorged and then i thought, "what if shes already taken, aka commanded via thought "show me a ring" and then i noticed her fidgeting with a ring on her left hand, so i instantly knew she was already taken or in a relationship.

i think i invocated some entity 2 or 3 months ago and my life turned for the better, in almost every way (or maybe it is the LOA and the positive affirmations im listening to)?
i tell you the RA°lity consciousness/sentience hacks are working and they are pretty wild

i just hope the MIB/arkons dont interfere aka what would be too severe reality-hacks/changes that they dont get a whiff of energy field/consciounsess manipulation?

Just stick to it brother, they do go away eventually. I used to get crippling blue balls. Now I just don't. Don't know why exactly, how far in are you?

>>40684246
longest I've gone is several months
the secret was that I left my computer at home while I was at college
porn is completely demonic and infests your mind long-term though, so this isn't enough
only thing that can get it out for good is a miracle sent from God.
>>40684553
I've long had a severe fetish with rape / corruption of innocence. Not sure where it comes from but it's been a thing since before I began watching porn where it was just in my masturbatory fantasies, and my imagination is still strong enough to the point where this is more satsifying than actual porn a lot of the time, though recently not
I think it is a demon and the only way to get rid of it is to go fasting and praying in a monastery for a year or something. As Jesus said
>some only come out through prayer and fasting
I think these demons are of that type
Maybe nofap will cure your fetish after a year but a month was not enough for me. The longer its been reinforced the more of a deep foothold it has in your mind.
>>40684576
I'm thinking of becoming I literal monk because I will do anything to be free.

>>40684815
nonsense
if this is true its because masturbation is coping for a larger depression, but then the solution is not to descend into unreality and escapism.

>>40685254
Roughly more than a week, not that much but I can't sleep or concentrate and my intrusive thoughts are going insane tempting me to give in, I know Semen Retention is the answer so I need to stick to it; I used to have an enlarged prostate for a while so idk if this had some to do with it

I’m almost on 9 weeks and feel like shit. I’ve had a headache for the past 3 days and 0 motivation to leave the house last few weeks. Idk wtf anymore

What you guys think of nosurf?

>>40685433
long as you keep the streaks going, even if you fail. You'll find it easier. I used to give in to try and help myself sleep but more often than not I found it didn't help at all. Had my own similar issues, developed a varicocele which caused me never-ending pain. Which has since completely gone away. The payoff is worth it.

After a month of a clean streak I relapsed and have been binging this past week

I feel stupid every time i do this, what reccomendations to get back on the horse

what brought me here was tony hinchcliff saying you need to jerk off and if you don't you'll get ball cancer

sO yoU meAN to tEll Me If I dOnT JerK ofF to PorN i"ll Die!!!!!!!???

>>40684815
yes yes yes spill your seed to our pixels or you are weird

>>40685491
Thank you for the encouragement Anon, I'm sorry that you have to endure that condition; what habits would you say helped you the most? Any advice would be appreciated

>>40685433
>Roughly more than a week
Just relapse and try it again. I did 7 > 14 > 21+ days now. It gets easier each time.

>>40685708
Ah it's nothing now. If anything the pain was a helpful motivator in getting me to stop. Aside from that my advice would be pretty generic, all my time now is spent on some form of self improvement. Be it exercise, reading. Doing some kind of self-care. Before all I did was vidya, drugs and coom. This self-improvement is part of what brought me back to /x/ after many years away. The desire to learn more. Don't know what exactly I'm learning from the schizos here but it sure is interesting. I fell off the wagon many, many times before this point and knowing me probably will again. But I've gotten to a point where I feel pretty confident I've beaten my demons. Though they may tempt me. Don't stop fighting them Anon.

>>40683635 (OP)
I'm on day seven. I know its not a lot but I have been addicted to masturbation for decades. Yesterday and the day before I had really vivid and fun dreams. Is this normal? Also even though my life is bad a lot of good things happened today.

You'll be astonished at how much heat you are actually generating down there. Usually you have to put some cloth over an ice pack for a regular injury. NOPE. Just straight ice in a ziploc and you'll still wonder why its not cold enough

>>40683635 (OP)
Guys. I have been trying for a long time. And I've reduced the frequency. I want to quit completely. What do I have to do? Somebody please tell me.

>>40684213
mantak chia testicle breathing. tldr you imagine a cold spot between your balls and take deep belly breaths and imagine the cold energy from your balls to move to your perineum and up your spine to your brain. then from your brain down to your tongue, while your tongue is ontop of your mouth/roof and then down to your throat and int oyour belly/sacral chakra, ez

>>40685798
I went through something similar, I used to be into many /x/ stuff when I was a kid but then I stopped because I was trying to fit in (I didn't). During Covid I fell down the self-improvement rabbithole and I ended up on /x/ and I know that I would have loved this had I found this when I was a kid back then. I don't know, it feels like home in here

>>40684328
>>40685254
>>40684213
This information should be in the OP. Lustful thoughts are enough to cause blue balls. Actual no fap happens on your mind.

>>40686013
I think you’re spot on. When I went nofap, my reality began to change for the better.

>>40686013
The world around is a reflection of your mind within and your perception changes your reality

I KEEP FAILING
WHY do I have to live in a world where I can fail so much and sin. I dont even like this shit but I do it anyways
I relapsed and now I cant even do my workout I feel weird and out of place when I used to feel alive

>>40686013
Fucking Anon Spotting To The ON! Boooooo Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>40683713
yes.

now go be that man that changes his stars.

>>40686118
Brother, I'm with you. I was asking a few posts up and got the reply from Gandalf. The only thing that keeps me going sometimes is the fact that with persistence it's possible to do difficult things even if it takes a long time. I relapsed from weed after four and a half months clean now I'm sober for like a year and a half. It is what it is, hopefully this principle applied to masturbating.
I want to quit for good so bad.

About a week in, hoping for good luck and fortune from the Retention in my investments. I'm meditating, reading, working out, eating fruits, vegetables, healthy meat protein like salmon, ect. I will report back later if I get my good fortune sometime in the future, I am committed.

Remember this guy from The Matrix? He died because despite being told he was living in a simulation, he chose to burrow deeper into the illusion of the simulation by interacting with "the girl in the red dress," the program he himself created but that ironically trapped his mind. He even tried to tempt others like Neo, "This doesn't have everything the body needs. I can make you spend time with her alone if you want." In his death scene, we see him holding two futuristic-looking, heavy machine guns. Even though he pulls the trigger, his weapons are too heavy to give him time to lift and aim properly. Now you tell me: what difference does it make if a weapon is heavy or light in the Matrix? He died because he chose to waste his life energy trapping his mind further with software of his own creation instead of using the hidden knowledge about the world that was given to him to break free from the limitations of the Matrix and reach the truth.

>>40684761
so i guess finland is sterile and will die out in 10 years?

>>40685137
No you misunderstood, you first goon for a while and then do SR. Your balls will hurt in SR with no stimulation. You actually feel fine at first but the balls still get blue after a day or two.

>>40685412
being in front of the computer really does make this hard.

Nobody mentioned porn you fuckface

bros... I've been in a daily masturbation vortex for like two months. I can barely even remember what it was like to be my true self. I'm such a zombie right now. I think back to how I was when I had two back-to-back month long streaks, back in spring, and I don't even recognize that person. He was motivated and happy and driven. I'm rotting away.
Willpower is a muscle and mine has atrophied. I don't know if I can pull myself out of this. I keep having fleeting moments of clarity like this that last for maybe a day at most, and then I fall back in. I'm drowning. When I was retaining I had everything I needed. I threw it all away for nothing.

>>40687180
>I'm drowning.
No you aren't, it's hard to stop doing it and even harder when your brain is hooked to all that juicy fap/porn dopamine stream, this is why I emphasize so much in the dopamine link.
Depending on how often you are doing it you'll need to set little goals at first, like for example, 72 hours without doing it, or something, and pay careful attention to what is triggering you, which doesn't necessarily needs to be erotic imagery or some similar shit, it can as well be a bout of depression or panic what is sending you to look for another dopamine discharge.

>>40685426
It's not so much this, but the fact that sex as a reward has become so ingrained in our culture since practically forever. And when you give that up, you lose your motivation for practically everything. Let's say you want to be a famous rockstar - do you know of any celibate rockstars? Prob not, because much of the motivation for rockstars to make good music and perform is in fact... do I even need to say it? If all premarital sex was banned to the fullest extent of the law would there be any rockstars, musicians, or DJs? Be honest

>>40687583
>you need to jerk off because rock stars wouldn't be motivated to make music if they couldn't coom
nta but what kind of argument is this? illegal drugs also motivate a lot of musicians and they do them regardless of health and legality so I don't know what your point is. i'm sorry if someone is addicted to and entirely motivated by sex but if anything that is an argument for sr not against it because they could be having a more fulfilling and satisfying life if they weren't enslaved to sex.

>>40687583
You need to have sex, masturbation is for losers.

>>40683713
Being free from porn helped me with my sexual relationship with females and I was better in bed if that’s any motivation for yourself anon

>>40687627
Sex is a powerful motivator. Being celibate makes you depressed because you're denying a large part of who you are. Celibacy is for the very strong.

>>40687654
No shit sherlock. SR is about celibacy

>>40687665
Opposite for me. When I was on a 6 month SR streak and had sex, I could barely last. Was almost like a virgin again. Should've fapped like a day or two before

>>40683635 (OP)
the last time i jerked off was 3 years ago, so..... what now?

>>40683635 (OP)
4 weeks in. Don't feel any "benefits". The only reason I am still going is because I made a pact with myself that I will not nut again unless it is in a woman.

>>40688022
im 3 years into it and still no benefits, other than saving a few dollars on tissues.

I had no issue at all with SR and my dick even got tiny as if it knows it was not needed anymore. All leakage stopped too. But my dumbass peaked, got horny as fuck - felt like a demon attack. I stopped but the next few days when taking a piss a ton of sort of clear but a little cloudy too precum came out. It wasn't the worst but it's just a reminder to never peek.

>>40685082
>>40684815

You don't need a study on this. SR for 6 months CLEAN and come back here when you are a man and you see for your own eyes just how real this really is.

Or be in denial and think we are all just idiots and ignore the countless religious and spiritual retellings of practicing celibacy.

It's is practically told in every single ancient and modern religious practice. Like yeah, let me me listen to some small new study and ignore thousands of years of rich spiritual practice. AHUH? Makes sense to me "Adriana Diaz?"....

> I re-read the Bhagavad Gita today and again it mentions to be celibate. It's literally everywhere, you can't make this shit up. Everyone is in denial/cope or they are just that ignorant or weak minded to overcome the sex addiction.

>>40688149
its been years since the last time i jerked off, now what?

>>40688155
If you have genuinely done SR and mental celibacy, just move on, might not work for you, similar to how some drugs don't work on some people. Because the difference is tangible, even a week's effort of mental celibacy is reflected in improved clarity and mindset.

>>40688217
apparently its not working for anybody.

Went to confession last night and confessed by lust related sins. Felt really good, you all should try it. Then next time you try to look at porn you tell yourself "Crap, I'll have to confess this if I do it again and go through that whole embarrassment again".

>Total of 45 days doing SR this year
>1080 hours without wanking my dick
Now relapsed on day 24. Porn looked boring (and I love hentai art). A few more streaks, and it will be a thing of the past.
>>40688217
Yeah, SR won't work for everyone. I do this to stop wasting time looking for porn (30 to 1 hour every day, and through the years a mf would have thousand hours on it).

You are ensnared, my friend, not by flesh, but by a pattern—an echo in the very circuits of your mind. Ask thyself: is it truly thy loins that yearn... or is it the mind, ever-hungry for reward, that cries out?

When you surrender to the illusion, you believe you feel—but you feel naught. A shadow of sensation, no more real than smoke on the wind.

What is this craving, if not the mind deceiving itself?

Pornography and idle fantasy are but veils—crafted to hide a simple truth: that you feel... nothing. And so, the mind seeks to fill the void with phantoms.

But heed my words—only in stillness, in truth, may you find what is real.

If you engage in sexual pleasure you are no different to a heroin addict. I am sorry to put those in the same category but they are essentially the same failed action.

If you are not addicted to masturbating then be celibate for 1 year clean :) Prove you have control and don't need to.

The cycle of addiction is what causes the suffering to begin with. Retaining feels like suffering and you constantly fail because of your own actions.
When you retain for a long time, and sit in this stillness you no longer feel these desires and you realize, you are it.

>>40687051
cooming without porn is still addictive and bad for you

No, sex has a ton of positive benefits. The downsides are when you have unsafe sex resulting in STI or pregnancy. But safe sex with someone you trust is really good for you in a multitude of ways.

>If you are not addicted to masturbating then be celibate for 1 year clean :) Prove you have control and don't need to.
I agree with this. It's like smoking in a way - I struggled quitting smoking for years (since I was 13 brahs). Couldn't even pop an occasional cig without getting lost back in addiction. Then I took one year off and quit cold turkey. Now I can pop the occasional cigarette or cigar and not even think about having another one, not falling back into addictive habits. I think long term SR is really great for this reason.

>>40689093
NTA but porn sets off the same reactions in the brain as heroin, idk if orgasming does the same but theoretically it should because we are hardwired to breed so orgasming is meant to trigger the feel good chemicals in us, but yeah plapping your wife should probably not be compared to doing heroin

when this would happen before i would just do some stretching to try and release the physical tension but i also quit weed after my last coom approx two weeks ago, weed always helped me get the mind-body connection flowing and pay attention to where my energy is and what it is doing. i force it but it's not the same

Ejaculatory orgasm from sex or masturbation is equally bad.
4x the prolactin from sex vs masturbation, though there are some hormonal benefits during sex - those benefits are far higher with retaining seed rather than spilling.

>>40689199
Plapping your wife and spilling your seed is worse than doing heroin since with orgasm you are habituating yourself to her; humans (like most mammals) are programmed to impregnate multiple partners when possible. Habituation disrupts the pair bond, reduces your excitement for her while increasing your excitement for other women. The subtle effects increase the chances of fights/break-ups/infidelity dramatically. It works both ways - women habituate to their partner after their orgasms as well.

>>40690478

>Plapping your wife and spilling your seed is worse than doing heroin since with orgasm you are habituating yourself to her
Nigger are you fucking retarded? Never mind the fact that you think sex is just as bad as fapping, you are saying that getting habituated and "disrupting your pair bond" is worse than fucking doing fucking heroin? fucking kekkidy kekek

I've taken LCD enough to know there's another layer to reality, but just because some fucking bastard remixed a porn video with a million filters on top and it "looks" like a demon is in the frame, that's where I draw the line. That's fucking retarded. That cheapens spirituality and the ether. Fuck you, you dumb impressionable bastard.

>>40690478
Anon... if after sex you're with a woman you love and she loves you too, you'll secrete a lot of dopamine if she hugs and kisses you... dopamine will block prolactin... also your wife will cook for you and that will give your body vitamins.

If you compare: yes, but porn gives you less prolactin... that's a stupid argument because afterward you're alone and drained from your gooning session with 0 dopamine, so your prolactin won't be blocked and that creates the vicious cycle of: no prolactin blocked = no new dopamine = no prolactin blocked.

It's not as bad as the heroin you abuse...but it's true about what you say about the loss of attraction...normally it's not a problem if you have a goal other than sex in the relationship...but most of the time people confuse love and attraction...

people forget about hormone sensitivity and receptivity. if you're picking up more testosterone, your serum T levels may be normal but you're getting beneficial effects. similarly if you overwhelm yourself with porn you may be so desensitized to the relevant hormones

I have also had good results with this. My small business basically has done like a 4x in like a month. Went from I think $3k a year profit and with the way sales are looking right now I might hit $12k if I dont change anything. Need to channel all the time I spent gooning into growing the business. Theres things I want that aren't necessarily material, but are better than wasting my life away being a coom zombie.

I have the power of the wise man who unravels mysteries.

I'll go and try for a 100 day long streak from 4chum, glutony and lust. Wish you all well, 'till the 18th of october.

Energy is a hand. "Sex drive" is a sock puppet.
Just change sock puppet for another one. Higher "chakras".
Hand remains the same.
Also checked.

>>40690714
>most of the time people confuse love and attraction
This anon has the right notions.
Marriage just for the sake of easy access to coochy will end, it will, fast and often badly, on the other hand a proper marriage has so many other elements in which sex is just one of them. Even so
if a proper marriage becomes purely carnal it will also eventually end, attraction will vanish interest will fade and one or both parties might start looking elsewhere. In a proper marriage *there needs to be balance*.
Problem is a man who has not reclaimed control of his sex drive will often right away fall on the pit of the first case, or will not have the will to not fall in the pit of the second case.

On the other hand, so to speak...
Sincerely this shit is well beyond nofap/sr and you fags are once again feeding the trolls.
Stick to avoiding porn and atm handjobs and everything will fall into place eventually.

>>40690714
Dopamine flatlines after orgasm. Dopamine is the reason porn addicts keep opening new images/videos rather than dwelling on the same one. Dopamine is all about anticipation and novelty. Every time you nut in your wife your dopamine response to her is lowered because novelty is reduced. Every time your wife has an orgasm with you her dopamine response to you is lowered for the same reason. That lowering of dopamine response is called habituation, and the logical conclusion to habituation is an unhappy marriage. It is nature's way of motivating you to seek new mates to spread your genes more widely.

What bonds people is oxytocin, that's what's released with hugs/kisses/cuddles and that's what causes most of the health benefits of sex. All the benefits and none of the drawbacks of sex can be had by avoiding orgasm. Of course, there needs to be a change of technique, shifting the focus from winding each other up to relaxation.

>>40691870
It makes sense since men already have to hold back.
But I'm not sure about women. They're designed to have multiple orgasms. They don't release as much prolactin as men. That's also why they can have multiple orgasms (unlike men, who can only edge a little). Women also release more oxytocin after an orgasm than men.

Remember to lift your lustful thoughts away brothers, we are made in the image and likeness of God. They want us weak in order to sacrifice our children to Baal... so who's gonna stop them? Porn users? Coomers? If you don't rise up there's no one left to save them

This day we fight!!

I went to my first SPAA 12 step meeting today which is Sex and Porn Addicts Anonymous. I dont know if anyone else here has been to one of these meetings but for me it really shed light on how porn can destroy so much more in your life as it has mine. Several older guys saying it has caused divorce and losing their jobs. They didn’t go into great detail on how you could lose your job from gooning, but anyways…


Keep up the good fight retainers. It is possible and it is WORTH IT!

Generally, people on this site think there are more shills than there really are. The anon who disagrees with your flat mars tartaria theory isn't on the fed payroll, he just thinks you're retarded.
But over and over, not as a fad but as a consistent trend, mainstream media and (((scientists))) keep putting out articles about how masturbation is good and you shouldn't dare stop. This seems targeted and done for more than some clicks. So I wouldn't be surprised if a glownigger stop be these threads every so often.

>>40686892
Demons. They feed off negative energy which degenerate sexual activity produces a LOT of. Also the seme itself has energy of its own they likewise consume.

how do you guys deal with rubbery, jelly like balls after SR

>>40686013
There's definitely something to this. Someone on here did a poll of a ton of anons who talked about their experiences after fapping and they said they had nothing but "bad luck" the days after, general clutz activity, people were harsher to them, etc.

Abstaining literally stops that and you can finally live normally, and people will eventually be drawn to you rather than just neutral towards you.

Now what what? Do whatever you want? I hope your not implying that because nothing is happening therefore you should jerk off. By the same logic we should all start injecting black tar heroin because we've not been doing that and nothing is happening.

I know how I was created. Condescending comments only make the self look bad.

I also apply the same logic. My parents were selfish and had a child. (Me). I do not want to be here and I was never asked to be here but I will chose to enjoy life regardless and not hold it against them.

But I disagree with their decision to give birth to me.

If someone knows: what is the correct spiritual path? I am currently practicing the non-religious spiritual path. A path with almost no restrictions, anything I believe or practice is based on my own understanding or that of others (such as the upanishads) if they are truthful. To my knowledge Hindus generally don't practice non-religious spirituality, they always stay part of their religion 'and' practice spirituality afaik. But do the texts actually say have no religion? I remember something like that. If having no religion yet being spiritual is a path, then that path is similar to sufism found in Islam. But I don't like to really dig into that religion right now. Buddhism is too freaky, especially tantra. So that's a hard no. The only religion which is an option would be the Hinduism where you're not supposed to have a religion, so basically only Hindu because you are a spiritual man and spirituality is Hinduism. Or, Islam, but I wouldn't go for sunni I would go for shia, if there's shia sufism very good. If not, then basically I'm lost. Please, tell me what you think about that. What is the correct path? The non-religious path could be but it's so goddamn tiring. You have nothing to hold on to.

Not a chronic masturbator but the act is starting to make me feel ill and fatigued.
Also I'm 28, don't exercise at all, and am a wageslave. Haven't showered in 3-4 days.
My luster for life has been slowly dying as I just work and consooooooom.

>>40690067
See for yourself, do 20 days

>>40694140
the correct spiritual path is to not masturbate. there's the entire teaching. everything else is bullshit accessorizing

>Day 30 of SR, day 12 since the last nocturnal emission, day 11 since last peek.

Physical health benefits:
1. deeper voice, increased confidence, less social anxiety (after 2 days)
2. increased appetite, somewhat craving diary (after 20 days)
3. feeling energized after waking up, something that was foreign to me for a very long time I forgot how good it feels (after 27 days)

Not sure if #2 and #3 are related to SR, would like more experienced retainers to correct me if they aren't.

Spiritual health benefits:
Before SR, the only dreams I remembered followed about the same scenario, where I realize I'm in a dream and manifest my sexual fantasies. However most of the time I remembered none.
20 days in, started having more non-sexual dreams, as well as more dreams in general.
25 days in was the first time I consciously avoided a wet dream, which means my subconscious is catching up. But even when I do get wet dream scenarios, now since my subconscious is in on it, there is no spill. I've seen some high-streak anon describe it as "dry wet dreams".

To each their own. Some people use it to score. I for one think neutralizing sex drive is the best goal for SR, hindering the primate parts of our brains is a cheat code for life. But one has to embrace it without FOMO sex.

Is there any polite euphemism for saying that I'm so horny it's physically uncomfortable?

>>40692605
Don't aim for streaks, they're meaningless. Just keep on going and paying attention to yourself, how your overall mood changes, how social interactions feels less awkward, etc. Only the benefits you notice is what will make you want to keep going with the experiment ("what if I hold up for a year?").

Edging just delays the onset of benefits but the real danger is getting blue balls and of course, relapsing. True SR happens on the mind, don't lust. Good luck.

If you can do 1 day SR you can do it for 1 year. All you have to do is focus on the present, just focus doing SR today, every day and you will achieve 1 year before you know it.

Funny something similar happened to me a few days ago. I did not know I was dreaming, but I remember that when I penetrated the chick I thought to my self: "this is not right, I'm just imagining this, this is lame"; then I simply walked away and my dream moved on to another theme.

>>40694703
True, SR is not about long streaks. It is every day is day 1 and you aint gonna fail on day 1 :). You will make it with this mindset.

And if you think you are going to fail, just remember this is your day 1 and act in the now and just commit yourself to doing something else. If urges happen you can just walk away, walk around your house and it will lessen.

If you have ADHD how would medicine like Ritalin affect SR sucess? On one hand stimulants should make it harder but on the other hand in people who have ADHD its supposed to help with focusing on the task at hand.

>>40693959
not clicking that link but if you're talking about spending less time online then I think it's absolutely a good idea. I started blocking sites including 4chan for 23 hours a day and since then i have felt a lot better. It's hard when you're so online but just like retention you learn to embrace it.

>>40695218
Ritalin just makes you goon. It's so easy to get addicted and every single addiction story i've read involved excessive pmo, just watching more and degenerate porn while rubbing your limp dick. I suggest finding other ways to focus. Try pomodoro or something not fucking drugs

I have been suicidal. 3 weeks in. Falling in love in my dreams and getting bummed when I wake up. Stressed out and anxious about everything. Overwhelmed by my own possibilityand responsibilities.

>>40695282
I took SSRIs for a bit. Masturbated just as much, did not feel better, and at the same time basically just had giga-ADHD.


>>40695245
Through sheer will power i did manage about three days of insane focus, was never to get close to it. The main problem causing 90% of my issues is this ADHD. I even managed 9 months of SR without any meds or techniques. Its just that i have never been able to get any sort of sizable streak going since. Just lost my one of my longest (six days) and it got me wondering if the meds im going to get tomorrow are going to change anything.
Blood and heart were checked and everything is fine. Starting from tomorrow its 10mg and maybe 20mg one week later.
And what do you mean it makes you goon? It has the paradoxical effect of making you sorta mellow and focused, something i observed others also being after taking it.

>>40691044
it's how it feels to me. initially i thought i'd have to control the horniness and feel like i'm exploding to cum but once i set the intention of not cumming i just shut down. it doesn't feel good. it feels like i'm deleting an important biolgical system. and dare i say a lifeforce. maybe it feels different to other people. whenevr i cum and break a "streak" it's rarely ever cus i'm so horny i can't help myself but instead i just need to prove to myself i can still get hard and cum if i want to. honestly at this point i don't know why i keep trying. i haven't found an effective way to do SR and have it feel beneficial beyond not feeling like a sad coomer. idk how to transmute shit

>>40694504

if you have depression or anxiety just do sr and ride it out. your emotions while beating off are numbed down and colorless. do sr for a couple months and you can properly feel out and cognize your problems, ssris are another bandaid solution that works by how well it makes you avoid the problem

>>40695332
Yes. I never took any sort of stimulant before.
I know that others use it for "stimfapping" but i literately have ADHD. Im diagnosed.
I did SR before and once you get into it feels similar to the time i managed to get that focus going. So by that logic being in that state due to the meds should only make SR easier for me, right?

>>40695355
lol ok then i guess you'll find out how it works for you and your theses. i'm not even trying to scare you out of taking it since i know it's a big decision and i do genuinely hope it works out for you. keep us updated

>>40695387
I'll report back in around 5 days. That is when usually SR gets difficult for me. Also around that time the Ritalin should be well in effect so its perfect timing.

>>40695218
I think if you do SR, you won't have ADHD anymore. Avoid processed foods. Do cardio.

Stimulants don't help with SR.

take L-tyrosine in the morning in pill form otherwise eat eggs or steak.

So hindus believe we take the subtle body to a next life whereas buddhists believe we take the mind to the next life , IS this correct? Or are we just going to hell with our souls and thats it?

>if you do SR, you won't have ADHD anymore
Dunno if its confirmation bias but at the top of my streak it was a little better for me. Doing SR or breaking ADHD should have a similar effect and make the other easier. Its definitely connected and not fighting either of the issues makes a sort of runaway effect that only fuels even more issues but as i said i will document my experience in the coming days.

>>40683635 (OP)
nigga i relapsed on day 8, should i rope

>>40695265
SR helps you recover your dopaminergic system, and the coomer pothead combo will definitively fuck up that system. Frequent dopamine hits (smoking/gooning) lowers your dopamine baseline which basically translates to depression symptoms. You might not like what I'm about to tell you, but one of the few things that can speed up the recovery of your dopaminergic system is doing things that you don't want to do like chores, exercises, socializing. Good for you nofap and noweed are among those things so keep it up and remember that the depressive mood is not real, you just fucked up your brain chemistry but now you know better and your body can heal itself if you hang on. Going back to weed or gooning will hide the symptoms but the underlying problem will grow bigger.

>>40695624

>>40695651
One thing that helped me through depression is coming in peace with the fact that life being pointless/meaningless might be a rational conclusion, however I also learned that being desperate or suicidal because of that is just a neurochemical issue. A healthy brain can flirt with the same thoughts of a depressive mind, the key difference is that a healthy brain will not obsess about it. Remember your bad thoughts and urges are just lie, the more you resist the easier it gets to notice that. Hang on.

No I mean, outside of the pharmaceutical bubble it is known that the vast majority of mild mental disorders don't need treatment with drugs. But if you're OK playing God with your neurobiology, you do you.

Had a dream last night I was at waterpark. This thicc mommy type woman approached me and demand I drop my swim trunks right then and there for a blowjob. Told her "Hell no" and walked away nice try loosh demons

>>40694369
is it ok if I fondle with my balls in a non sexual way

>>40695651
thanks for the input. i do try and find mundane things more rewarding. It's so hard though. I have a lot on my plate right now and busier than i've been in years and I thought i should commit to eliminating cheap rewards so i can focus on taking it seriously but i'm finding it harder to manage it all without any release including cumming, weed, games, internet. I do think weed was helping me through it because it made me think about and feel things deeply which stirred me on but i wanted to be able to get that without it so i stopped. Stopping weed madde my dreams returned, dreams are getting romantic and will probably get sexual soon. fuck

>>40696267
i know it's a trap but i do feel like i was able to regulatemy life better when i jerked off once a week (wasn't an addict so wasn't doing nofap for addiction, really thought it would boost my energy) and got high every now and then. I have done much longer SR streaks in the past but nothing has been as difficult in terms of low mood as this short 3 week break. Maybe it has nothing to with retaining at all but now i'm paranoid that the retaining is making things more difficult. Not gonna cum and see if helps since i don't want to and already feel like a fucking mutant today as it is.

>>40696298
Giving up several bad habits at once can make it unproductive and may backfire. Weed is great, but this high THC stuff that is sold nowadays (either legal or not) fucks your brain if you smoke too often. If you have the discipline to just smoke just a little bit on the weekends and then sleep a lot to recover you can try it. But if you notice you start smoking too much you got a problem, so stay away for a least 6 months to reset and then try again if you want to.

The "brain fuel" consumed and the disruption caused by weed can be harmless if smoking once in a while in small amounts ideally for meditative/contemplative purposes. Semen retention in the other hand has benefits that can only be achieved after months retaining and frankly, once you're there, restarting all hover just to jerk off a few more times will feel pointless. If you find someone that's another story, but even then you should take in consideration what this anon said which is very true >>40691870

>>40694813
uuuh what? What about it? I did shrooms, drank wyhuasca shit water, smoked it too. Did it all. I get it. So uuuuh what?

>40696962 (You)

>>40696507
appreciate the insight brother. i'll be honest this exchange is making me think i'll get the weed back, i did treat it with respect. small amounts, evenings only, and the only activities i made sure to do everytime was some yoga, pilates and stretching, breathing exercises and listen to music. i would try and make music, write journals, read and meditate but not always and I was ok with that. i was never the kind of person who could ever gorge on junk food, play vidya, watch tv etc. while high. in fact i actually posted itt about this a month or two ago on my last streak about how i got high and felt really horny, and instead of giving in and masturbating i loaded up my music software, got my keyboard out and just channeled it all into music and finished a full track in one sitting just focused for hours and in a real flow state, something i haven't done in years. it was a rare time i felt proud of myself. somebody replied and told me that this was transmutation and it actually helped me understand SR and alchemy so much better. if i wasn't retaining and paying attention to my energies at the time i wouldn't have done that.
that said, having typed all that i am now thinking that i should be content to take the lesson from that evening and just try it again without the weed since i'm probably capable of it. it might not work every time but all i can do is try. i have all the lessons from my last few periods of weed, SR and coomings but i guess it's up for me to take action.
thanks anon, i am feeling better now than i was then.

>>40696939
yes, usually at full moon I have trouble sleeping and often have nocturnal emission.

ok this is just straight up schizo

>>40697446
full moon increasing horniness and strange behaviour has been folklore in many parts of the world for hundreds of years. i'm not saying it's right or wrong, i'm just saying it's not a completely new or esoteric belief.

>>40697836
shit i'm pretty sure that the full moon is spiritually significant for a bunch of different faiths and belief systems stemming thousands of years. my point is if you think those anons talking about how the moon affects their behaviours is some mad schizo shit you must have a really low bar. you'd be shocked to read what else is posted on /x/ lol

>>40697836
Well I know parasites and your microbiota change behaviors on full moon. Most likely reason.

>>40695287
>just say you've turned into a bull
That's really fucking cringe and not at all what I was trying to imply.

>>40697836
>>40697846
>>40697865

Its not that surprising or schizo. Various celestial bodies like the Sun and the Moon put off serious amounts of electro-magnetic radiation.

Its also well known behaviors, moods, and emotions are highly susceptible to electro-magnetic stimulation.

So if you consider changing position of these bodies over time the EMFs they put off would be changed as well causing different effects on human cognition.

I wouldn't discount the parasites or micro-organisms in the body as well as the other poster mentioned. I think I remember reading that parasites have a breeding cycle that tracks moon phases and its known that they can affect mood through hormone stimulation in the body.

>>40698105
>electro-magnetic radiation
that's literally just a fancy word for light

honestly i was planning on cumming on the full moon and told myself i wasn't gonna cum unless it was on a full moon. but now that it's here i don't really feel like it at all. let's see how i feel next month.

>>40697446
Artificial lights and even fire are relatively recent inventions in terms of evolution. For a species that primarily relies on vision it makes sense that they would evolve to feel more active on nights with more light to see with.

It's all over the animal kingdom, I don't see why humans shouldn't have some vestige of it.

Is it true that you can change your circunstances during SR. My life is fucked up right now.

Several days after relapse I always have the following symptoms:
>low energy, feel like shit in the morning
>social anxiety, sweaty hands
>horrible armpit stench
>empty balls feeling
>red eyes
>weak knees
>weaker voice
>virtually no libido

Even if there aren’t benefits to retention (there are), it’s fully worth it just to avoid the negatives of relapse

>>40698119

Sure. Nonetheless everything I said is true.

>>40698257
I stopped using 4chan a few months back to help with SR, to avoid all the tranny posters posting nigger porn and to stop my chronic nigger fatigue syndrome. I spent my browsing time on Pinterest, looking at food recipes, furniture, home design, tech, etc. Then suddenly I was seeing hundreds of porn pins and thousands of pictures of niggers. It was a deluge of everything I didn't want to see and ended up relapsing because I wasn't prepared to resist it. Pinterest is owned by Google which is owned by kikes which are owned by the devil.

Interestingly you can click the option button of something you don't like and select "Don't show me this again" and it should technically reduce all related content from appearing in your feed. However, I was hiding hundreds of pics of them one by one and they were only appearing more. "They" had followed me there and specifically tuned my feed to disgust me and lure me into lust. There's literally no other explanation, unless you think looking at casserole recipes, garden furniture and gym equipment made Google AI think "this person needs 600 AI generated niggers ASAP".

The moral of this story is that SR/nofap is spiritual and the devil is your enemy.

>>40698359
>Then suddenly I was seeing hundreds of porn pins and thousands of pictures of niggers. It was a deluge of everything I didn't want to see and ended up relapsing
Wait a minute.. lmao so seeing niggers is making you relapse?

>>40698452
No, they are the seed of lucifer, the spirit of depravity follows them. All the porn was being posted intermittently between all the AI slop.

If you report blatant porn there, it seems the mouthbreathing DEI retards don't have any reason to remove it, despite it being against the rules. I think they've probably replaced their moderation staff with AI at this point. They just mark porn as "advisory warning" content now.

A naked woman bouncing around so her tits jiggle? That's fine even though sexual content and nudity isn't allowed.

2 people in a large bath separated by a barrier, submerged so you can see only their heads, non-sexual image? That gets removed.

But keep scrolling, there's some nigger brushing his teeth in a bathroom nigger with its dick hanging out. Report it and watch it get marked as "not a violation of terms & service".

Kikes deserve their fate and I'll never recant that.

>>40695305
>uncontrollable horniness
And i still won't fap. I'm done

Women will release a shit ton more of that hormones during pregnancy and during the two first years of bearing her child. Don't let porn fool you. The natural value of women will always be to have children first, and having sex/fucking second

i've been at this for approaching six months with varying degrees of success. then i gave up porn/peeking in july.

it's night and day. i feel wholesome. i'm experiencing tons of good luck. i have tons of mental and physical energy. i'm rearranging my life to stop all the video games and attack my IRL problems. i have realizations and insights all the time. i can feel myself smiling more. people are treating me better.

Christianity is a religion but the Bible doesn’t say you should go to church. It says you should pray in private and not even bother concerning anyone else with your relationship with God. Rather, let the work speak for itself. The religion and the church are a manifestation of misunderstanding this. Jesus doesn’t care what you call him, as long as you call him. Reality is alive and will guide you if you don’t sell out your intuition.
>>40694346

>>40694140
in my opinion:
>correct spiritual path
the one you go for yourself and feel that it is correct for you.

probably esoteric/universal Truths, maybe syncretic esoterical christianity. (which is seen as ebil by every mainstream christian branch, smiled at by orthodox ppl but they remain silent, maybe they know but dont want to say)

i myself research this kind of topic/question. but it would seem, from an objective, logical and rationale standpoint, so called (greek or eastern-russian orthodox) christianity is the way (and maybe some parts of buddhism) most accurate.
i say so called, because christianity has nothing to do with churches or going to church or the pope or money or anything that you can think of that is mainstrream and or touted as christian.

as others ITT said, you should listen to what Jesus Christ says/does. that is christianity and not, a ralegion.

hinduism should be researched AFTER you have balanced your mind and body, have a grounded being and enough knowledge yourself. for example, i dont like it at all, because it is subservient/obedient (to some one or thing that is perceived by whom as an authority). as in "xyz is true because the personification/emanation at the time in that situation said it was so" and the fact that they actually talk/debate unsanitary subjects like cow poop

>>40697383
You sound like a woman talking about is periode

stop this psyop now

>>40698913
True, I've been on a clean streak I think on my 10th day now. Today the urges started to kick up but I was squashing them as they arose. A bit annoying in a workplace full of women, but I feel like I'm interacting with people well. Investments went good today with crypto, I'll see if my fortune keeps going up on retention. Remember anons, no peeking, purge the mind of lust when it arises. We've got this

Read some good nuggets here about how this will help give you spiritual energy to become your true self and reach your full potential.
I wanted to toss in some experiences so far.
>OCD symptoms going away, I don't obsess as much over germs or carefully washing my hands
>Resentment towards family members going away
>I used to have to calculate every word or action in my head because of overthinking, so situations were tense and nervous. Now I just kind of glide through conversations or tasks without needing to think about every single thing.
>Better resilience to unexpected curveballs. Say a family member needs help with a random task like lifting something heavy or fixing something, or an errand. I don't get as upset as I used to where I feel like they're ruining my day.
>While it comes and goes, generally my energy level is higher. I used to be completely exhausted all the time. Now there's waves of strong energy coming in. But there's still spots where I feel tired.
>One of my fears was running into someone I know at the store because my old normie friends from high school are probably doing well and I'm yet to launch, now I can confidently go in and out without caring what people think about me. And if they're uncomfortable with me being a "loser" or whatever then that's their problem.
The only thing getting me through is prayer (google "Jesus icon" and look at those pictures) and I downloaded a picture of a calendar and mark a big red X on each day in paint. It sounds stupid but I legitimately look forward to marking the X at the end of each night.
Also there's this feeling that I'm doing something crazy that I'm not supposed to. Like I'm some daredevil doing a stunt that 90% of people couldn't do, so it has this excitement to it.

t. Day 15

>>40698611
they need to fuck first to have children
what you say is dumb

>>40699174
My point was that the amount of hormones and chemicals released by men during and after sex is nothing compared to the amount of those same hormones and chemicals released by women during pregnancy and the first few years of childbearing. Let that sink in... that's why women typically lose interest in sex with their partners during this time. Motherhood gives her brains an amount of pleasure that can't be compared to regular sex. So it makes sense that the negative effects of sex are particularly more dangerous for men than for women. After all, women naturally have a higher threshold and tolerance for pain than men, a greater capacity for multiple orgasms, etc.

>>40699103
When I finally do fall asleep I usually wake in the early morning exactly facing the moon with a raging hard-on.

>>40699138
>Also there's this feeling that I'm doing something crazy that I'm not supposed to. Like I'm some daredevil doing a stunt that 90% of people couldn't do, so it has this excitement to it.

>>40699806
>Are superpowers real?

>>40699576
Identity the exact cause of the relapse then cut it short. If it was because of peeking, stop doing that, if it was because the sensation builds up, ignore it and focus on other things. Kill it at the source.

>>40699302
Basically not getting mindfucked by the constant onslaught of sex through technology makes me feel like I'm breaking out of prison or something. Like we're all slaves on some dystopian plantation and there's evil agent smiths wanting to keep us trapped in the same cycle. But by tapping into my own internal power I have the keys to just drive away from the prison and hit the highway where there's fresh air and freedom to go wherever.
That's big picture, even if it sounds kinda schizo. And on the day to day whenever urges or bad thoughts come to me, sometimes very strong and convincing, the only thing that keeps me grounded in my strength is almost laughing it off and thinking "I'm so fucking crazy I'm just gonna keep plowing through anyways".
Even if the wave of negativity is really strong I just pioneer on through just because. It's a hard feeling to describe, it's like you know you're being attacked by a strong urge, you know how your old self would react, then your new dissociated observer self just kind of laughs it off. So I somehow broke the old connection and embraced my inner craziness.
I've always been considered a little weird and eccentric, kind of like a Kramer.

>>40683635 (OP)
any thoughts on full moons? i keep seeing spiritual shit online talking about "things are changing this week, especially because of the full moon"

>>40699806
in two weeks social anxiety dissipates because shame is no longer fueling it, and your voice resonates a little better

>>40700301
Im surprised its not common knowledge by now, but full moons have an "exciting" effect on things. It heightens your emotions and that includes sexual ones. It usually just makes people more agitated but it also makes the "mating response" in humans a bit heightened too.

Any good books on tantra, sexual transmutation that include also exercises, meditations?

I've come across a following idea:
Stopping masturbation/sexual activities is akin to animal conditioning if the person that does it is unable to actually feel and direct the sexual energy for other purposes. In other words, if you simply quit with sex and masturbation, you may be in a situation where you simply repress yourself until you either involuntarily release at night, or you simply go back to masturbating and having sex without much of an achievement.

The goal of sexual transmutation is to be a spiritual goal. For that goal to be achieved, you need to have an idea of what can even be achieved and have a sense of these energies in order to monitor any sort of progress.

-------------------------------------------------------------

What I think is mostly mentioned on the internet is quitting porn and masturbation in order to reset the overstimulated body and get it back to somewhat normal organic functioning. That is the biological sense in doing this. However, I want to know if anyone has experience with actually using sexual energies for spiritual purposes, and how you went about it.
I admit that what I observe in myself is what I described above - I can condition myself to get away from porn and sex for a bit, but then it just builds up and comes back. I don't have a sense of ability to redirect such energy. Seeking to find out more.

>>40700530
ive mentally linked my goals to success with women, and i think that's what gives you a ridiculous amount of energy and focus and purpose. if i believe that my time in the gym is going to help me get a hot gf, suddenly i am attacking it like arnold

>>40700932
>if i believe that my time in the gym is going to help me get a hot gf, suddenly i am attacking it like arnold
That's just animal conditioning which you do because you are wired a certain way. It is not a goal per se because human goal involves being ability to step outside of these conditioned mechanisms. What you're describing is a sort of sexual edging, waiting for that big orgasm with hot gf.

weird and incorrect take

sup guys

What's your goal?

>>40701202

I don't have a clear goal. I am in a somewhat confused and seeking stage of my life rn.
you could say I am looking for something real and transformative

I got the feeling this SR stuff may be real
So I decided to ask the guys who are ACTUAL doing the work and are committed to this for a while(not just a month or two), how they are faring with this

so I can decide if it's something for me to do

>>40701190
For my my life has always been kinda shitty. Or the circunstances are bad or my choices are bad. Right now I'm on a bad rut. The only thing I have ever maintained constant in my life is PMO. Since I was a kid. For me is a double whammy. At worst, it will rewire my brain and it will become less sensitive to dopamine. On the other hand, the supernatural elements related to SR are very enticing. I have had streaks before, and weird things have happened, mainly new oportunities and old people reaching out, or receiving stuff I needed for free. I am doing what I can to rebuild my life right now and it was logical that I should stop doing what I have doing the longest. It is a small change but paradoxically, the only thing I have never changed.

I'm in my early 20s. At day 0, I had porn-induced ED for 1+ year. By day 80-90, I finally start having RBAs (just see urban dictionary) like my teenage days.

I highly recommend Soaring Eagle posts, who is 6 years celibate. Also, this SR thread very useful for me day 0-60, but I stop visiting after that :) I'm roughly day 110

SRG is a LARP created by homosexuals from /fit/ who have a semen retention fetish. This shit is not real, and you're actually helping to get off some norotious homos on this site by following their retarded advice. This has been outlined on /pol/ several times, but people in this thread want to cover up the truth.

>>40705920
>This has been outlined on /pol/ several times,

No its definitely real.

I made many threads on /pol/ over the years about it and my positive experiences.

One of the few topics that was shut down quickly. If shills couldn't derail constructive conversation then usually within 100-150 replies I'd be slid to bant, the thread deleted, and then I'd be banned for 3-7 days. Meanwhile the most vile off topic threads saturate the board but a thread about self improvement must go? They have to censor it and by virtue of doing so they highlight the importance and effectiveness.

Beyond the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits the power structures of the world are terrified of men who can overcome their most primal urges. Its difficult if not near impossible to control those types of men.
