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)...

>>40745782 (OP)
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)

>>40745787
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.

Almost day 12. Feeling pretty good. Getting a lot done lately. Waking up earlier too before my alarm goes off.

Day 5 going strong, slowly regaining my energy.

day 2... dont fall bros i went 30 days clean i felt amazing, now im 2 weeks into relapsing, but I will hold myself

Day 47

I find having a healthy creative outlet for your vitality to be the best way to channel desires into action.
I make art for example, much more rewarding than cooming.

>>40745782 (OP)
yknow it's actually pretty easy to not cum if you're just a masturbator. harder when you have someone to have sex with/has their own sexual needs you usually fulfill but only a handful of anons itt have to worry about that really desu

An electromagnet, which uses a copper coil and a rod, is a temporary magnet created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire. The rod, often made of iron, is placed inside the coil to enhance the magnetic field. When electricity flows through the copper coil, it creates a magnetic field, and the iron rod inside concentrates and strengthens this field, making the coil behave like a bar magnet with distinct north and south poles.

I am trying to figure out the effects of having the hand(coil) self pump on my rod. Vs having a whole other kind of coil ( real pussy) around my rod. And seeing what kind of different magnetic ,biomagnetic or bioelectric and quantum effects it goes with...what kind of fields it creates and everything else

>>40745990
Orgasm is harmful for both men and women if your intent is monogamy.
With every orgasm you are causing habituation with your partner - lower dopamine response each time. This is why couples try to "spice things up" trying new things, because dopamine is all about novelty. It's a losing battle, however, which is why infidelity, porn use, etc. are the norm in marriages. After some years together nature intends for you to split and seek new partners to spread your genes - this is the evolutionary purpose of sexual habituation.

this practice is driving me insane, I'm feeling a whole new level of melancholy though somehow pleasant, and I keep seeing repeating numbers. I won't stop of course, I should probably add some form of fasting to hasten the descent into madness

holy shit wet dreams are infinitely fucking better than jerking off I don't care about the magnetism or superpower shit like this anymore I'm retaining so I can have sex in my dreams

>>40746047
Stop feeding the demons anon.

>>40745782 (OP)
Day 15. Feeling good. No urges. My life has been bad lately so I gave it a try to change and the only thing I had never changed was being a coomer. On my last streak a friend of the family asked for my CV (I'm unemployed). Weeks passed and I relapsed. I thought it was over but after 2 weeks of retaining the HR person contacted me on Tuesday. I want to say is synchronicity. Tomorrow I'm confident on my success. I need this job and it will take me from my safe space.

>>40746055
not like I can control wet dreams anyway

>>40746047
Those are demons stupid.

>>40746066
You can't control them because you don't really wish to.

>>40745782 (OP)
how do you maintain your sexual health while SR'ing? I don't want to sexually neuter myself (i know many anons do) but I also don't want to cum of course. I find that if I retain longer than a month it becomes increasingly hard to actually get aroused even when I want to, even with a woman. I wouldn't even say it was flatlining, at a certain point I just indefinitely become unable to feel anything without a great amount of forced effort and it's pretty unpleasant. Once that seal is broken it goes back to normal. I know the point of SR isn't to make yourself an asexual eunuch but instead to use that sexual energy in a more meaningful way but idk how to SR without becoming that.

>>40746078
truu, but it's still better than fapping to porn

>>40746090
That it is.

>>40746089
When you are on retention for a few weeks/months, every so often check if you still get erections. Ideally SR will steer you into finding a good woman, but do the shadow work first! If your goal for SR is improvement/spiritual enlightment to become a better person to create fulfilling bonds finding a good woman would be suggested dude. A lot of the retainers will shun you for this, but each person has their own objectives in life.

>>40746034
what if you and your partner agree to have less frequent sex, would that be a good solution?

>>40746089
Have sex with your woman and don't cum. Jacking off to porn is out of the question obviously.

I almost masturbated tonight, but I won't.
Maybe tomorrow.

>>40746089
By doing SR you are literally becoming a eunuch with no will and you are willingly castrating yourself. Stop masturbating to porn, and instead do it in moderation like every normal guy. Just jerk off 1-2times/day without porn.

>>40746158
Don't listen to this jew >>40746089

>>40746112
thanks. is morning wood enough of a confirmation? i've been doing kegels and bridges too just to work out the muscles at least.
my goal with SR is to use the energy elsewhere. i've felt what it's like in the past to transmutate that energy into creative pursuits like writing and music and i've also felt it when it comes to getting me focused on stuff like work and personal projects. learning to control it gives me a ton of focus. the thing is once i have it controlled it stays controlled, then i get complacent - sometimes i wish it would rattle around again just so i have something to fight against kek. i know it's powerful but i also worry and second guess the practice despite feeling some incredible highs when i manage to turn the "i need to cum" energy into "i just organised my entire week, read 60 pages and finished 2 songs"
>>40746119
yes, i have done that in the past. i'm single right now and not really looking to change that as of this moment, bit focused on other things. desu on the topic above about wanting to rattle the cage again that's when i usually break the streak, not really out of uncontrollable horniness but out of desire to get the sexual energy flowing again. i am starting to see my retention practice as cyclical. it's hard to really talk about this shit itt if you're not "i'm gonna monkmode for the rest of my life" so idk

>>40746235
Yeah you can see SR in two ways. Like two schools of thought. The materialistic one, meaning that scientifically not masturbating and specially not consuming porn changes your brain structurally to a healthier baseline. The other school of thought is that the energy you transmute is prana/ojas and that retention makes you inherently stronger in the sense of etheric body. It changes who you are dramatically if you do the work. Specially in terms of meditation, transmutation and jungian archetype of self kinda work. Others believe that manifestation/law of assumption is closely related to SR and the aforementioned activities. In my perspective, strange things happen on SR. Stuff that personally I can't explain logically.

>>40746235
>wanting to rattle the cage again that's when i usually break the streak, not really out of uncontrollable horniness but out of desire to get the sexual energy flowing again
You're "getting the sexual energy flowing again" through porn and masturbation? I'm not sure what you mean by flowing your sexual energy.
In my experience, energy is energy, you can use it towards whatever you want.
You say you are solo now, so that means arousal comes either from fantasy or porn. I see no benefits in aiming your energy in that direction. It's rather demonic and leads to a downward spiral.
Your dick gets enough action while unconscious in your sleep, so I would pay no mind about it atrophying if that's what you're worried about. I'd say go longer than a month since you're alone, until you find your next mate so you can practice good sex work and circulate your energy.
Focus everything on your pursuits for the time being. "sexually neutering yourself" by not masturbating is a jewish lie, its impossible. Many cases of people achieving that through frying themselves in porn though.

>>40746116
Better than having more frequent orgasmic sex.
But really all the benefits of sex (and more) can be had by changing technique from reproductive sex to bonding sex, called Karezza. (Unless of course you are trying to have kids.)
Anons in this thread should read the book "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow" which explains the neurochemistry of how orgasm drives partners apart, and also how ancient cultures understood this and developed methods to avoid it.

>>40745970
This is Κυνικός propaganda

>>40746235
>it's hard to really talk about this shit itt if you're not "i'm gonna monkmode for the rest of my life" so idk
That's what this thread is for.
You seem to be holding the common concept that "sexual health" is getting an erection plus discharging semen, while it's true that if absent it could be a sign of underlying health problems, it's also not true that you are supposed to spend your life doing that.
So you just want to seek out a balance, fine, regardless of what you do your sexual energy will still flow because your sexual energy is your life force.
>>40746285
>Yeah you can see SR in two ways. Like two schools of thought
IMO both are not mutually exclusive, I believe an anon can approach sr/nofap/abstinemce first from either side and eventually start questioning himself if there isn't something more to be achieved in life.

>>40746460
Κυνικός = Cynicism.

Biological interactions happen when people view porn, causing men to experience erections and women to experience dilated genitals and lubrication from the vaginal walls (NHS, 2016; NHS, 2016). However, psychological changes also occur. fMRIs revealed that when men watch porn, elevated activity in the ventral striatum can be observed where the brains reward-system releases dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasure (Hess, 2017; Simpson, 2017). The amygdala (the brain portion responsible emotional behaviour and motivation), also activates when viewing porn (Gola et al., 2015), both of which activates the brains reward-pathway which influences conditioning towards desiring a certain stimulus again - a process which can lead to pornography addictions (Hess, 2017). Furthermore, those who view greater amounts of porn also have lesser volumes of grey matter (The Guardian, 2014). Whilst this finding does not suggest causation, it is important to note that the average age of males who start viewing pornography for the first time is 10 years old – an age where critical brain-development is still in the process (Hess, 2017). Therefore structural brain differences/damage could reflect consequences of pornographic use.

>>40746116
Sex inside a healthy relationship/marriage is fine, correct, a good part of said partnership, while the other anon is totally right, too much sex is damaging in that one or both parts will eventually grow bored and maybe start looking for weird kinks, that dopamine factor.
Just be careful and aware of what are the needs of your partner, ideally they are the same and both will be interested in developing a deeper and more transcendent intimacy.

>>40746663
Blue balls aren't that bad compare to release, right? The occasional fantasy is hard to avoid, I guess it isn't a huge deal if you have the willpower to not relapse.

>>40746690
i always let my blue balls pass. in fact once i did breath work and visualizing and it totally cured my blue balls. i just imagined energy coming up from my balls to the rest of my body and my blue bells were "gone." pure mind word, yet it cured a physical ailment. weird huh?

>>40746089
The fact you can go back into the cycle again means you aren't castrating yourself. It's your body realizing it doesn't need to be aroused as much anymore and goes into a "sleep mode" in a way. You can still use this same energy to accomplish things that were hard before, things that require your newfound confidence. If you don't do anything though, your energy just sits there like an unused battery and you have no motivation. That's what "flatlining" is. You have to kickstart yourself, but this time in a good way.

4 days clean. 0 urges. Not a single relapse thought. Aphantasia is slowly waning.

I am seeing it through to the end bros.

Sex is a mental habit only full of structures and triggers you create to arouse yourself. When you abstain then these mental structures either go dormant or destroyed altogether. So you have to create the mental habits again which trigger arousal. There's nothing with your body and mind, quite the contrary.

Day 5.

Morning wood returned and sleep quality was better. Other than that? Don't notice much else.

is now more than 48 h that I didnt coom.
The temptation is insane

>>40746089
Sex is a mental habit full of structures and thought-triggers you create to arouse yourself. When you abstain these mental structures either go dormant or are destroyed altogether.

How do you guys deal with sick fetishes? Abstaining is one part, no doubt about it, but do you see your fetishes as a part of yourself? Would Shadow Work be effective?

>>40745782 (OP)
day 3 bros we're all gonna make it

>>40749177
What does abstaining have to do with fetishes?
How would you end up in a sick fetish situation while on the SR journey?

>>40749214
Oh no, I meant for those (like myself) who started this journey due to having sick fetishes. I don't want to be a slave to mine but even though I'm abstaining I still have to deal with the temptations, and I was wondering if people who are into weird things have to get to the root of the issue or the cause behind the fetish so the temptations lessen

Man I remember a while back when on one of my long streaks I jokingly said: "It will take more than images on the screen to take me down, they will need to send a real life succubus".

Well, fuck. I was doing so well, really developed a lot of self discipline and self worth, felt like I'm on a true path to something, developing both my mind and body, became super jacked.

And then, I randomly get messaged by this girl who ghosted me a while back. Long story short we end up being together, and her sex drive is... insane, she wants to do it 3 times a day, while literally being pretty insecure and overall empty on the inside, other than her looks and sex I gain nothing from this, but I am too much of a pussy to get out of it.

I'm tired most of the time, she drains my balls.

Hey God, I was only joking about sending a real life succubus man, I will not joke like that anymore if that is the lesson.

>>40746460

outright resistance, silent doldrums, and sneaky bribery. the three tests we must all pass. you were doing so well you DID get another form of the succubus, only this time it was in the very common form of the ex. you took the bribe, which is further than most people get, but...you're meant to ignore even the bribes. good luck in the future anon

>>40749317
Thanks man. I am in deep shit now. I never dealt with manipulative women who are driven completely by subconscious impulses, and even though I did my best to keep my guard up, my defenses were penetrated by the bombarbment of affection and inflation of my ego.

She went in, and now I am emotinally invested. Even though, I will fight my way out of this, with rightousness and virtue. Good luck to you too.

>>40749224
>>40749224
You deal with them the same way you'd deal with regular temptations. They will slowly fade away with time. Get busy 24/7 with wholesome and productive things. Eventually your will heal.

>>40749355
I hope so Anon, I've had a few wet dreams lately and I never had them before

>>40749029
I love you too anon.
Now go and defeat them.

>>40746285
I appreciate your perspectives. I think it's a bit of both for me but I stopped watching porn years ago and don't struggle with it. Nor do I really have issues with chronic masturbation in general, I haven't jerked off every day from even before I dropped porn. As of late when I'm not actively retaining i jerk maybe twice a week at most. The energy stuff is what was really profound for me, it changed my life because it made me much more more mindful of sexual energy specifically at first which then made me identify of all my different energy forces (much like how doing exercise helps make you aware of your body as a whole at all times). I really need to do more reading as I'm sure someone has named these forces.
>>40746353
I mean that when I'm feeling a complete lack of sexual energy to use or fight against (which happens for me, idk about other people) I'll set out to try and find it again. Once I find it and cum, the sexual energy starts to spike and make itself aware once more, and once more I can utilise it through transmutation. That's what I mean by the energy being cyclical for me, I am getting better at becoming aware of when the potential energy is peaking and and how to use it efficiently since it doesn't last forever. I have thought about whether or not I'm just doing this to justify cumming but I tell you with an honest heart that it's not for fun, it's the only thing that lets me benefit from transmutation once more. If I treat it methodically and schedule it (every full moon right now) it doesn't feel too bad and is easier to recover from. I guess right now I should find ways to get it going without intentionally releasing? Maybe you're right and I just need to find a woman who sexually excites me, much healthier than awkwardly forcing a wank kek. Thanks for the insight brother.
sorry for rambling

>>40746587
yeah, balance is what I should be looking for. And after all you're right, no matter how sexually disinterested I've been at times it comes back when I let it. Maybe I should take it as a win that I'm able to control it like this, I'm sure if I wasn't worried about "i'll never feel sexual life force ever again" it would happen organically. I guess as I said above when I meet women who bring it out of me. Only human after all, just don't wanna be a robot

>>40749811
What spiritual practices are you on right now?

>>40745782 (OP)
I have had two job related oportunities this week. This is after months of looking for anything and nothing working. They just appeared outta nowhere. This stuff is real. This is magic.

>>40750000
don't mind me just uhhhh

>>40749897
not much desu, mainly SR, meditation, breathwork and dreamwork/lucid dreaming. yoga if you count it as one but I try not to. reading stuff, started reading Tertium Organum and a book on Sufism called Living Presence. maximising sun, oxygen and human contact, praying to god here and there when it feels comfortable.
what do you recommend? i don't even know what counts as a "spiritual practice" anymore

>>40749942
I think that you are doing more than enough. [I personally think that SR is the basis for all other spiritual practice. I am doing a lot of jungian shadow/anima work right now added to meditation and making anima related pieces of art.

If you're not trying to conceive children, why are you having sex? Fuck your "needs"

>>40750014
do you have a wife?

>>40750074
No wife, no gf, no hookers. If you're scared your wifey will leave you because you won't fug her, that's a you problem. You picked a woman who fell for the "sexual needs" lie society told her.

Day 8 this is the farthest I've gotten but I've fucked up my sleep schedule so bad that I havent felt many benefits because ive just been so tired but luckily today I forced myself to wake up at 6:45 am and usually after like a week of forcing myself to wake up at the same early time every day my schedule gets fixed

It fucking sucks though the days you have to adjust your sleep the first days of this method are fucking terrible but its the only method for fixing my sleep that works for me

day 250+.

i'm able to prevent myself from watching porn, jerking off, or having sex with the wife, BUT...

My lust has been off the charts these days. I don't know if it's because it's summer and girls are wearing practically nothing, but I literally can't go out without having lustful thoughts. I even go for a walk at nighttime to avoid seeing women, but even my 55 year old neighbor walking her dog got me imagining lustful scenarios.

pray for me bros!

>>40745782 (OP)
fuck. Was on day like 250 SR streak.

A fucking girl enticed me over for sex

It was fucking incredible but I realised it's just not the path. I love god and just realised from all these 250 days of SR that I needed to get in out of my system for good. So there it is done god.

I have accepted your women and lay with her but I have decided I am above such meaningless sex. I left her house, windows down, fog in the road cool air and have decided. This time We retain again to 365.

The first attempt was grand but this will be grander. Boys I can confirm, not even the best demon succubus sex is worth it. She went full deepthroat mode and everything and said I could cum inside her. She said she is on birth control but I am slightly paranoid that I slipped up.

Regardless lads, it's just not worth it, the sex didn't fill any voids I was missing, it just strengthened my connection to them.

I should probably ask for advice but I think I am clear sight that I should continue the path of celibacy. For in here I stand ontop of the kingdom of heaven. and from there I am consumed by the demon.

I've never felt a more real demon encounter than this one. Not to make women the enemy but women that lust over you when you are trying to remain celibate do show a demonic side that is for sure.

I told her of my celibacy and her eyes lit up like nothing I've ever seen before.
Brothers can I get any prayers for me please. Amen

>>40745782 (OP)
I FUCKING NUTTED 3 TIMES YESTERDAY MAN FUCK I KEEP TELLING MYSELF ILL NEVER WATCH PORN AGAIN BUT IF I FEEL A LITTLE DOWN I START WATCHING PORN I SHOULD START SMOKING OR SOMETHING MY STRESS RELEASER IS LITERALLY PORN NO PUN INTENDED ITS NO GOOD

HELP

>>40750554
I apologized and prayed to god directly. I feel forgiven for this sin.
God almost reacted like "this was a gift for you" And yes I should not have taken it but it is okay for my intent is still pure and my drive to be close to god remains unwaivered from the gift.

It was a learning lesson and a warning of how much harder this SR might get with women now seeking me so hard.

Much appreciate any advice from some long SR users here this have encountered this in a long streak?

Come on dude don't be so extremist. Sex was created by god for a reason. Maybe fucking random sluts is not good on a weekly basis but it's better than gooning to porn. Just find a good woman and get it on with her. Making love not sensless sex.

The urge to coom is strong these last two days

>>40746047
I have been a gooner so long that I have never experienced one.
25 days in, can't wait til my succubus attack :3

>>40751828
25 days and still none? I started getting those 5 days in. I know I'll sound extremely jewish here, but if you want to increase your chances of getting a wet dream then sleep on your stomach or generally have something pressed up against your dick (also pro tip: wear a condom at night so you don't fuck up your bed sheets)

>>40751861
Why do you want a wet dream tho?
I've never had one, I've coomed in dreams and orgasmed but never ejaculated IRL

>>40751896
>Why do you want a wet dream tho?
because it feels better than jacking off. it feels extremely realistic like somehow my brain knows what sex and kissing feels like even though I never even talked to a woman before.
>I've never had one, I've coomed in dreams and orgasmed but never ejaculated IRL
that's extremely rare for me. I only had one sex dream where I came in-dream but woke up dry

>>40751861
>also pro tip: wear a condom at night
they sell condoms so small you can put them in your flaccid penis and remain in place all night? you folks even think your bs through before posting it?

this is not sr related, at all.

Day 69, this is the toughest day of all. I am steadfast on making it to 90 and from 90 to 180. The cleaner the streak the better. I’m now avoid all boards but x to stay clear of any lustful images. A clean streak amplifies urges beware. Today I feel particularly vulnerable so I am staying off the internet for the day after this post. The books recommended above suggest that a recovery starts around 6 months and significient spiritual benefits require about 2 years of celibacy of both mind and body. Is this true?

>>40751951
who the fuck asked you lol

I was on day 13 two days ago but lost.

>>40751951
well I put latex gloves on my dick, they're still too big but it works surprisingly well and it stays in place through the night

>>40751970
Too big for you?

>>40749816
>"i'll never feel sexual life force ever again"
you seem to have some weird structures around sex, sexual energy and life.
What is unnatural is to walk around in a permanent state of arousal or even lust.
You either feel it, or you don't, if you don't then it is ok, that is a natural state too, I'd even say it is the natural state if you look at every other living organism, excepting bonobos I guess.
So you will never stop feeling it as long as you are alive, you'd rather focus on dismounting said structures, and develop that art and social life, if it's your thing, it's your thing and you are free to do as you will.

>>40751984
Proud of you for making it that far. You were stuck just making it a couple days each time a few weeks ago.

>>40751951
25 days of SR you dumb cunt.
>Waaah 25 days!? That's not related to this at all because you said le wet dream.
Actual retard. Hang yourself.

>>40750554
>. Was on day like 250 SR streak. A fucking girl enticed me over for sex
So after your 250th day you had the chance to live a normal sexual experience, as opposed to plain masturbation and porn, and you are not celebrating?
>So there it is done god.I have accepted your women and lay with her but I have decided I am above such meaningless sex.
Try being a lil'bit less arrogant about it.
>She said she is on birth control
Apparently you are not intent in repeating your experience but, never, absolutely never, take a woman's word for that, much even less a semi-random one.
>celibacy, demons, girls
It shouldn't be out of fear but rather by choice. Until that moment you haven't really learned.

I'm convinced the ridiculous timeframes are just a psyop to demoralize anons

>>40752480
>picrel
lmfao

>>40752480
It all depends on the indivisual, but if you treat it like a drug addiction the timeframe shouldn’t sound too surpising. Any streak is benefical but to significantly change ones behavior takes time and many anons hardwired their brains to do nothing but watch porn in an age oversaturated with lust. If a guy is only 90 days on the wagon you wouldn’t call him a recovered alcoholic. In buddhism it’s a 7 year period of abscence for a chance to reach enlightment. Moreso T level apparently only remain highened if you abstain for 6 months. SR is a process and that might take years to have control over which is fine, it’s not a race.

>>40751991
Keeping your penis in a non breathable enclosure overnight can't be healthy. You could develop a UTI or some fungus. Just tuck a cotton towel into your waist band like a loin cloth.

If I don’t coom my balls and prostate get irritated. I must be milked regularly.

31 day streak. Almost coomed today, i need to learn how to control lustful thoughts. it burns when pee. never coom never doom bros.

>>40750554
Damn are there really people on here that tell themselves they’ll never ejaculate in their lives again except to conceive a child?

That seems unnecessarily extreme and 99% of the people purporting to have that view will revise their opinion at some point or just keep failing.

I love retaining but I would never think in my heart that it’s meant to be everlasting

>>40753007

>It all depends on the individual
This, every person is different, every person has a different body and psychology, even a different history, I've no problem with an anon saying "hey I'm not really one for super long streaks", ok that's fine, depending on the context of my life some times it gets exponentially harder to maintain long streaks
How does that detract from somebody intending to live in a celibate manner for whatever reasons? It's their choice.

But also there is that factor of the actual physical and psychological damage porn and masturbation can do to an individual, that, just like you very well compare to other addiction recovery processes, takes time.
A real recovery addict will never settle to take a drink or get a shot every once in a while under any sort of excuse.
Why should or need this be different for anons looking for that while on SR?

>>40745782 (OP)
brutally tempted tonight, and then i went back and read an anon comment on one of these threads before about how if you pray with a pure heart, you're more likely to get an answer. I just prayed for help with the temptation and WHOOOSH it is gone in a way that is so complete I can tell it didn't come from me.

>>40753027
Retard did you even read, he says it only made things worse

>>40753007

>Ejaculation is often called "coming". The precise word for it should be "going", because everything-the erection, vital energy, millions of live sperms, hormones, nutrients, even a little of the man's personality-goes away. It is a great sacrifice for the man, spiritually, mentally, and physically.

We understand that there is no benefit to ejaculation, so the goal is to maximize the time between them. Nobody is under the illusion that it won't happen again, since nocturnal emission is a thing, and if enjoying intimacy with a partner while trying to retain, accidents can happen.

>>40753337
i'm almost half a year in, no sexual contact with anyone and no wet dreams. brutal

>>40747720
I'm the same, while doing daily porn/masturbation i didnt even think i dream now I remember them all so vividly and they often make me aware of areas of improvement or motivation irl

You are the retard,if you wanna talk about attracting succubuses and wet dreams go to succubus general or however is that place called succgen

>>40752060
Thanks for the words. The issue here was I fucked her because I was still craving something deep down. If I should engage women I think it must be those I would want to love? Not want for sex.

>>40753007
Yes, once you see the light from SR it's so difficult to go back. But I do believe the right women could potentially heighten the experience of life.

>>40753027
Lucky in that this taught me a lesson. Luck for the sex itself, no.

I had the same thing. Ex came back said she wanted to fix things, we fucked and I came ending my 7 day streak and then went cold the day after. Month before that we split, I went on an 11 day streak she came back, I wanked and she left again. This one woman seems to be the world's test for me and I keep failing. Currently on day 7 again.

>>40746158

>>40749311
dubs of truth, diogenes would also visit brothels with money he made criticizing them.

>>40753007
Considering that's literally the purpose of ejaculation, why is that so crazy?
Not to mention the downsides of orgasm/emission are actually so dramatic that it's really better to only be used for reproduction.

He’s right, sex solves nothing, is not part of the path, and make your attachments worse, he is not lucky for it. But you wouldn’t know.

>>40754127
>Not to mention the downsides of orgasm/emission are actually so dramatic that it's really better to only be used for reproduction.
You're body is designed to coom as much as possible. Sex is natural just like eating food is natural. The people go overboard with it get punished. The people who practice discipline like fasting and SR, get rewarded but you can't fast everyday can you? People shouldn't feel bad if they slip and make love to their significant other. This kind of behavior you're displaying is TOXIC and you should leave this thread immediately. Get the fuck outta here.

>>40754000
Checked. Baker here, I just thought it was a funny frog. I’m still not sold on the tales of Diogenes being a public masturbator not just being anti Diogenes propaganda but I will be more careful baking in the future

>>40754167
yea i never got to have sex so ill never know i guess hence why he's lucky.

>>40753945
> The issue here was I fucked her because I was still craving something deep down.
There is no issue, just learning.

>If I should engage women I think it must be those I would want to love? Not want for sex.
But of course anon, love, women, intimacy and sex are important parts of life, what you need to be always paying attention to is, make sure you are approaching said parts in a honest, positive and loving manner. Who knows, maybe eventually your path won't bring just a casual encounter but a potential partner, a good wife will always respect your will to retain your seed but even the best kind of woman will also need a good one every once in a while.
There is an anon recommending a book on the threads >>40746417 later on when you feel ready perhaps you can dyor on the subject.

>>40754204
>Baker here, I just thought it was a funny frog
Baker, you did a good job and I thought it was a nice frog, at first didn't even know he was a Diogenes. The guy was a cynic and among his mischief he is said to have engaged in such, but Diogenes also said

"bad people obey their lusts as servants obey their masters"

Fitting for the general so I guess there's always good and bad in everything.

>>40754180
>You're body is designed to coom as much as possible
>This kind of behavior you're displaying is TOXIC and you should leave this thread immediately. Get the fuck outta here.
Bro look what thread you're in. Take your own advice pal!

>>40753945
Luke 11:11 is about God only giving you good things. Sex with a woman who is not your wife before marriage is a snake not a fish. In the way you were tempted and lost, I too was tempted not too long after that post. There is a girl from my school who I knew had an onlyfans and I had been looking for it for years. Finally I found a lead and foolishly chased it and found it. It ended up being free and I made the wrong decision and ended up ruining a 13 day streak. Finding that account was a snake from Satan.

I have a bad habit of giving in to easy bait and I have gotten better at avoiding it. Now all of a sudden when I have long streaks im being tempted with people I know. Satan and demons will find a way to set a trap for you. When you are being obedient and not falling into sin, you will start to notice things happening to you that will test you. Theres a reason people on SR will get exes texting out of the blue etc. They are just a trap to keep you sinning.

>>40752480
Pretty much, yeah. For me, I receive a noticeable improvement in my physical and mental state as early as day 5.
Sure, everyone's different, but expecting godlike powers or focusing on timelines, counting days like a junkie and having relapse tantrums because "this doesn't work" is a foolish child's game.

>>40745782 (OP)
No peeking, but I started drawing my own pron art at this stage. Does this count as peeking or is that a form of sublimation? Should I monetize it?

>>40754982
I get "magnetism" as early as 2 days nowadays. Maybe our body acclimates better to semen retention? One thing is for sure, not everybody has the same timeline, some need to wait a whole month to see any magnetism.

OK hear me out guys.

What if you just gobble it all back up after you coom.

>>40755182
>our body acclimates better to semen retention
IMO this is true, my logic behind it is that it is impossible to lose all of your reserves in one shot, cooming once is a set back but it's just a small set back.

Lets say you're 30 days in at 100% SR, coom once you're now at 70% SR, you can build back to 100% faster than if you were at 0% SR, but if you coom 2-4 times the effect compounds and you will be closer to 0% SR leading it to take longer to regain control.

>>40755186

Alright Frends,

Three weeks ago I started spiritual allignment. Cold showers, physical activity, facing the self, kicking the PMO addiction.

The first to weeks of Sr were devilish, but I already flatlined at week three. Now I'm out of it, the urges are back again. What can I expect going forward, is this the new normal?

Seemed so easy for a bit on flatline.

>>40750554
Sorry that happened bro. I'm on day 90 and when I start making money I'm going go on vacations to the beach and play volleyball and frisbee with attractive women, i remember this story and deny them of their lust.

>>40755231
You will never stop having urges. Treat them like free boosts of energy and channel them into something great.

>>40755182
>>40755201
This is true, the energy snowballs and only staggers a bit upon ejaculation. However binging upon relapse and cooming like 10 times in a short span will really fuck you up.

>>40755182
i'm on day like 170 and my only magnetism is slightly better interactions. i guess it depends on what kind of personality you already are going into it

I kept trying to warn anons here about the dangers of SR, the increased in prostate cancer, the consequence of being an eunuch, lowering your willpower and being a slave, the consequence of repressing your sexuality ending up being dangerous. But i guess there's nothing you can say when facing a cult. This is my first time facing a cult like this and it's crazy how nothing you say has any effect. It's like people reject every modern discovery and think that people from 2000 years ago who didnt even wash hands and kept the animals in the center of their cities breeding diseases understand more about ejaculating than modern people with modern tools and ability to research like never before. I'm not sure how to approach cults anymore, this is my last post trying to help you.

>>40755662

the thing is that people get noticeable improvements on sr. even if it's all placebo should they really stop? does it really matter if it works?

>>40755662
I don't even do SR for the benefits. I only do it to make people like you desperate.

>>40755700
This is what i mean, i guess this is some kind of masochism or something, Imagine ruining your health and giving up pleasure just to spite someone on the internet

SO ironic it hurts

>>40755741
you don't understand a thing, because you're simply not on my level

had a dream where a virus locked my computer screen and was shwoing me random images like bridges, towns, flowers (like the stuff you get on default windows wallpapers) before it added porn which got increasingly more deranged starting at pretty clothed women to ending in violent hardcore - at a certain point a witch looking face said the words (verbatim) "you should have played red when you had black, now it's too late" and then it was just showing me liveleak type shit

>>40755779
>"you should have played red when you had black, now it's too late"
what do you guys think this means? It's obviously a gambling reference of some sort and a warning that I should have stopped looking when it started showing me porn but I'm wondering if there is more significance here. Btw oddly this is the second time I've had a demon speak to me through a pc in a dream, the first one was a few weeks ago but it wasn't pornographic, it was just another screen lock and a low poly digital demon that kinda looked the boxart for Fallout 2 whispering weird threats at me. I should really hop off the pc huh

>>40754180
>You're body is designed to coom as much as possible.
No it's not. Sperm takes like a month to fully mature and immature sperm lessens chances of conception.

>People shouldn't feel bad if they slip and make love to their significant other
Make love and ejaculate inside are two different things.

>>40755838
>takes a month
Then why do we have wet dreams to expel

>>40755182
The way I see it is like "shields" in a space shooter game.
Your shields regenerate with time, and when they're high you can take a significant hit (release) without your shields failing and ship taking damage.
2 hits in quick succession however can ruin you.

>>40755182
the more you retain the better you get at noticing and utilising the benefits. you should aim to retain as long as possible but let's be real for 95% of anons coom is inevitable. The thing is the more you try the more you learn and the more you adapt.

>>40755741
spite is one of my favorite motivations

>>40755843
Nocturnal emission is most common when a man stops ejaculating frequently and the body has yet to adjust to the lower level of fluid demand which takes a few months. Once the body adjusts it doesn't happen much. NE is most likely to happen if getting sexual wind-up shortly before sleep, or if there was a very long period of arousal/erection during day.

Also, nocturnal emission can be just prostate fluid without sperm. It's not hard to tell when that's the case since one wakes still with erection and feels invigorated rather than deflated - no flood of prolactin. The quality of the fluid is different as well - rinses easily and is not clingy. The body prefers recycling sperm cells which are past prime to ejecting them due to the high energetic/nutritional content.

Day 65 for me, had an awfully strange wet dream last night that wasn't really sexual, so I remain on the path that the Lord laid out for us. The dream involved a frat induction where I had to have intercourse with a vanilla cake, does anyone know what this means? Stay strong and joyful my friends.

>>40755940

I have been doing this for months now and I have never had any problems. If I came with a towel up against my waist, that would be disgusting and feel sticky-wet if I turned around whereas when I cum in the glove I can just leave my dick in the cum because I don't feel like getting up in the middle of the night just to clean myself, so I put it off till whenever I wake up and continue sleeping with my dick soaking in a cum filled glove.

>>40756075
Quite right, I tend to stay off the internet except to research watches and clothes, but still the pressure to conform can be deadly to this practice.

Just had a dream I came in my pants cause some hot girl sat down next to me and started seducing me, woke up hours later and no wet dream lmfaoo nice try satan

Why do SR when you can coom in a beautiful woman?

My last 5 wet dreams I knew were coming the night before. You get a weird sensation not a horny feeling but like a slight twinge for a minute randomly. Like clockwork every one to two weeks.

Did we all have wet dreams last night? wtf

>>40756351

It’s well documented that simultaneous applied effort, concentration, and thought can change global outcomes.

With that being said let me invoke the protection of the healing and protecting beings that are attracted to the high energy of this thread

>>40756320
i can't, never had a gf

>>40756320
Why coom in a beautiful woman, when you can enjoy her more without cooming?

>orgasms let out the lovely magical feeling you have built up during intercourse. Plus they are such an addictive thing; the next day annoying feelings of being in the mood for more kept interrupting my thoughts. Sex without orgasm leaves such a long-lasting satisfaction as compared to sex with orgasm that it is almost ironic.

>Making love is like inflating a balloon. Having an orgasm is like popping the balloon, but if you finish without an orgasm you are like a balloon that takes several days to gradually deflate, leaving you much longer to enjoy the inflated feeling.

>>40755186
I understand this is a funny shitpost, but the truth is you need it to stay in your balls so it gets absorbed by the spine.

>>40755186
a lot of the benefit is dopamine resensitization, the lack of prolactin, and tons of other hormonal changes, and you only get that through not gooning

Raising dopamine causes massive neuro imbalances elsewhere. Too little prolactin causes ED and a plethora of other problems (balding). Injecting testosterone shuts off your natural testosterone production.

Its best to let nature do it's thing.

>>40756592
no. injecting yourself with T makes your body say "oh I've got T? I can stop making it" and has cascading effects on the complicated structure behind hormone regulation.
see: >>40756635. natural is best, and there's only one way to get the benefits of not fapping naturally, which is by not fapping

everyone wanna be a weight lifter but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weight

>>40755809
it means ur gay

>>40756764
so does this mean if I did the opposite and somehow found a way to drain my T, my body would start producing more? then I could stop draining it and I would have even more T left, but then it would stop producing more again beca- ooohhhhhhhh

>>40753007
>except to conceive a child
Kek that's what happened to me. 20 months SR now. My last coom conceived my last child, who is turning 1 next month. Before that, 2nd child was conceived on the first try. My wife re-tore after each birth and so I think after this one it's over for us. So now I'm a married incel, lol. I would still be doing SR just to have all energy possible to deal with 3 little kids. I cant imagine trying to manage the madhouse I created with even slightly lower energy levels.

>>40756825
Stop trying to justify yourself and just stop gooning man it's not complicated. I am 17 days after being addicted to PMO for fucking decades and it's not big fucking deal. Stop whining and take action.

>>40756858
That sounds awful anon. I am single and contemplate forming a family but stories like yours are quite common. Sexless marriages are abound. Do you have a good relationship with your wife at least?

>>40756825

>>40756867
>Sexless marriages are abound.
It is usually due to habituation.
Every time people orgasm with each other their dopamine response to each other is lowered (and increased to new potential mates)
After some years together nature intends for you to split and seek new partners to spread your genes - this is the evolutionary purpose of sexual habituation.
Nature's plan can be averted by avoiding orgasm during sex. In this way you are not riding the dopamine rollercoaster, but enjoying smooth sailing on the oxytocin boat. Oxytocin is the bonding hormone which can have amazing healing effects on people and their relationships.

>>40756944
Yeah I get it. It is evolutionary biology in action. I try to think that SR as at worst, very real scientific benefits. I am on a streak and I really want to challenge myself. I applied to a very uncomfortable job that will take me out of my comfort zone and I want more outta life. Do you experience supernatural benefits?

>>40756867
>good relationship with your wife
Yeah. When you have a kid, sex stops being the most important thing in life. Post partum recovery is a big deal, plus she is raising my kids! Imagine if I was also demanding sexy time...
I can still get aroused around her. There has been no loss in dick function. Hormones are all in normal range. That said, I have no desire to fug or coom.
If you're going to start a family, you should do SR before you pick your mate, because there is a phenotype of women who make good mothers and you don't notice them when you're on CoomBrain. If you just impregnate the hottest girl you'll end up with a nightmare.

>>40756867
>Sexless marriages
All these posts >>40746034 >>40746659 >>40756944 are correct.
Even if you want to be "childfree" DINKs, attraction will die off. For women there is a coolidge effect that's not only about sex but just being around you and noticing your small failures accumulate will lower her sex drive. Familiarity kills attraction in females.
When you have kids your relationship grows though.

>>40753007
they all set the intention and they all fail, they're all stuck in a constant cycle of
>I'm never gonna coom again!
>*cooms*
>AAA I WANNA KMS!!!!
>repeat
it's sad to see

Isn't it funny how no gay person practices SR or porn abstinence? Almost like porn images can program your dick to like whatever you want haha, what a crazy thought

>>40756825
T itself isn't even about how much is in the blood stream, but how sensitive your cells are to the T you do have. there is no way to change this except naturally

>>40757055
They're not correct btw, sexual relations have a neurological effect that promotes Love for both parties, especially the woman. It's called oxytocin release look it up, its also why sex before marriage is so dangerous for women, they form soul and mental bonds to whoever sexes them...also why in history many fell in love with the conquerors who murdered their husbands

>>40757042
You know, I'm only a few weeks in. But after being a coomer for so long I have been changing a lot lately. I have become much more grounded. I don't fantasize anymore about these big ideas or archetypes. I just want to work, live a normal life and have a regular normal life. You are totally right in the sense that regular married life should be about other things not just sex. I'm gonna follow your advice anon.

>>40757055
I have an older sister and the amount of couples divorcing after 40 is staggering. It's that why? I have never been married and maybe I idealize it too much and don't look it as something real and grounded.

>>40746089
You have sex you fucking tard

>>40757169
It's probably one reason. The sexual attraction will die off naturally, and especially after age 40 if they've been living unhealthy lifestyles. So if the relationship was based off sex then it's over.
The bigger reason is that so many modern women have shitty personalities, are too argumentative, and just abrasive to men in every way possible. When you're on CoomBrain you often overlook these traits, so SR will save you a lot of hassle in that regard.

>>40756858
Gooners produce gooner children, your wife should thank you

>>40757265
That shit is rough. I have married friends and some of them live fuckin rough lives. Makes me never want to get into a relationship again. Then again I should strive for doing something better than them.

>>40756858
Congrats anon, you are setting the ideal.

>>40757125
Oxytocin is released by touch, especially by intimate touch, but release of oxytocin is NOT contingent on orgasm.
Orgasm does cause satiation by dropping dopamine and raising prolactin, which is the very opposite of "love" it is signalling the body "I'm done with you" and initiates distancing behaviors in both men and women.

>>40757283
>I should strive for doing something better
Yes you already are. There are lots of women with kind souls who will actually make your life better and not bring unnecessary stress and these girls have a particular phenotype that you notice more once your head is clear from porn and lust.

>>40756230
Crazy. I also had a dream too on Thursday night that I was jerking off to a girl in my dream and I came everywhere (even in my face), which was disgusting. I woke up expecting the worst, but, luckily, no ejaculation whatsoever. I wonder what it means

>>40757325
>Orgasm does cause satiation by dropping dopamine and raising prolactin, which is the very opposite of "love" it is signalling the body "I'm done with you" and initiates distancing behaviors in both men and women.
Maybe that's the case for you, but my body can't confirm your statement in any way; I only have sex for the sake love and the orgasm is so intense that I still feel pleasant aftershocks in my body hours later. <3

>>40757333
Thanks man. SR has given me a lot of mental clarity and a desire to achieve realistic improvement goals in my life. I am getting much more grounded and less fantastic in my thinking. I used to daydream too much and self sabotage.

>>40757354
As a special snowflake, you shouldn't be advising people who are much more likely to be in the norm.
Pic related is the case for the vast majority of people (and other animals).

hello my fellow straight Christian males, are our balls full this fine day? How is the quest for your traditional Christian wife going? I think Jesus has been noticing the fulness of my balls recently, he sent a coffee shop employee to smile at me the other week.

>>40751263
>Maybe fucking random sluts is not good on a weekly basis
Lil' Bro did not read the bible. God literally says if you do this you are dead to him

>>40757055
every couple these days has to do everything together, too. it's like being overeducated just started making everyone start doing everything wrong. couples should have separate beds and rooms oftentimes, do errands separately, divide the labor, miss each other a little

>>40751263
the standard back in New Testament days was so high, many married couples would takes vows of celibacy for certain amounts of time, like fasting. adultery was considered an execution-worthy offense

How do I pray properly? Is it asking or is it as if I have received?

>>40757906
i wish i could help. some of my prayers are answered like instantly and some take a long time

>>40757999
If you think back, what style do you think is the beneficial one? Since you do get your prayers answered.

>>40758029
i really don't know. i think maybe the more i trust it will get answered the more likely maybe

>>40745782 (OP)

>>40758029
Just be straight up and tell him what you're worried about and what's on your mind. Be polite and respectful but at the same time real and transparent. Start off asking for forgiveness for your sins to sort of cleanse yourself before praying. For example
>God, forgive me for my sins. I'm sorry Lord.
>*pause for a bit*
>I'm really pissed off about blah blah blah because so-and-so keeps doing this or that thing.
>I wish that <specific good thing> will happen so I can accomplish <specific goal>. Please Lord give me the light and strength I need in order to <goal>. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Then the Lord's Prayer. Basically the meat and potatoes of it is you tell him what's going on in your life and what you want to accomplish. I think he honestly enjoys listening and dislikes people hiding things and being dishonest like Adam and Eve did.

I was going to SPAA (sex and porn addiction anonymous) 12-step meetings,


And on their excel chart of zoom meetings offered there was a SPAA meeting for gays. So at least some are practicing it.

>day 0

i've never seen a pussy irl

>>40757906
You're not supposed to ask God for things like he's some kind of santa clause daddy figure. The best you can do is:
>pray to see clearly and to know what God's purpose for you is in this life
>to be able to accept that purpose even if it sucks
If you're praying for things to get better in your material life, it will always come with a catch, or not in the way you thought it should be. In the end, your material comfort, accomplishments, etc. are all meaningless when you die, which you will. So better use of your time praying is to ask for spiritual development.

>>40758248
Congrats anon. You are an inspiration?

>>40755152
That definitely counts as peeking. And fuck off, the world doesn't need more gooner shit. Use your art for good.

>>40758462
If I can do it anyone can. I was a top gooner.

>>40758528
I agree but when I was a kid I used to go to those nude figure drawing classes and all of the models were absolutely disgusting looking.

>>40755779
>>40755809
In my opinion it is not healty to try and derivate meanings from dreams that came from satan, firstly he is not as intelligent as us, only cunning. Secondly he does not know about the future.
Satan will try to thwart you away from your goals, he will try anything, even will invade your dreams. Take care anon, god bless

>>40758340
If you're yet to be married, this is good.

Is this thread really full of consensus crackers trying to make SR look more extreme than it really is (the no orgasms with a wife posters) in an attempt to poison/divide the movement? Is SR THAT threatening to TPTB?

>>40758658
>no orgasms with a wife posters
in case you didn't notice, thread title is "Semen Retention" not "NoFap"
"Consensus cracking" is what you are doing. Everybody here knows that spilling seed is damaging whether with a partner or not.

>>40758658
I just embraced the shilling at this point and im just trolling as well, everything you need is in the op and common sense. SR is literally the easiest practice to explain ever, you just stop masturbating, if someone wants to have sex with someone he's in a relation with, good for him, if he wants to keep retaining, good for him. However you will get retards complaining about every single thing and having different views and often criticize the others, its probably shills combined with mentally ill people who make SR their entire personality. Literally just don't masturbate, you can take it further with complete celibacy or not. its not that hard

>>40758321
Would you rather be on day 0, and know you will make it to day 1, day 7, day 14. or would you rather be on day -1, knowing you will just give in and relapse. Stay strong anonymous user, your enemies want you weak.

>>40758570
Sometimes I think it's better to have been a massive gooner in the past and do a complete 180 as opposed to the guy who just jerks off once a week but never goes on multi-long streaks his entire life.

Today is day 7. Whats in store for me from this point on both mentally and spiritually

>>40758772
No major changes below 30 days

>>40758658
>consensus something something
You haven't been following the threads, eh?
> Is SR THAT threatening to TPTB?
Yes it is.
>>40758746
based level-headed anon

>>40758829
Bullshit I've had the same woman come back twice before on 2 separate streaks and ruin em

>>40758856
Why do you think that happens? When I'm retaining some stuff happens but I don't want to get to woo woo because I can become obsessive with that stuff. I try to get into the dopamine related aspects of SR rather than the esoteric stuff,

>>40758868
No idea, I'm trying it again for the same reason just to make sure I'm not mentally ill because I obsess over it too. Last time it happened on day 6 and day 8. I'm on day 7 now.

>>40757325
>Hugging releases the same chemicals has having sex with your wife
Ok bro.

>>40758884
One time I got stuff gifted and the person giving them to me said that she "had been dreaming about me". This week I got a reply for a job interview I thought would never come, and another person responded to me from a job search I did months ago. I know these can be easily thought as coincidences. Because I don't want to expect magical stuff to happen. But it's weird.

>>40758894
No, hugging does not drop your dopamine near zero and flood you with prolactin.

>>40758908
That same shit is how she came back to me last time brother, dreamt of us having a baby girl or some shit. Fuck knows if it's just because we've only been split 7 weeks or not but the fact it's happened twice both while retaining confuses me

>>40758919
Yeah that's weird. I mean it could have happened regardless because the split is very recent. Some people report getting contact from ex aquaintances or ex lovers from a very long time ago though. That has never happened to me.

>>40758929
Am blocked now anyway so dunno how she'd even sense my retention

>>40758951
Yeah I get that a lot of people get into SR after a breakup. I did recently too. I mean, she only came back during these streaks on the 7 months you are been apart? That is insane dude. That makes zero logical sense.

>>40758956
7 weeks bro but yeah the only times in those 7 weeks I've retained, when I've wanked I've heard nothing or she's been cold

40758700
>no u
low quality bait
>>40758746
>just put the heroin needle down bro
I mean... okay, sure, but then why even have a general. And based off of all the "lost my streak" posts it doesn't seem so easy for a lot of anons. I respect what you're saying though.
>>40758839
>Yes it is.
I can imagine

>>40758918
The massive amounts of oxytocin mitigate the effects of dopamine/prolactin.

>>40758988
Didn't say its easy to do SR, just that its not a complicated to understand what its about

>>40758988
what if I inject oxytocin into myself with a syringe, just hypothetically what if

>>40745782 (OP)
im on day 9 right now, this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten (before it was day 6) and for context before there used fo be these small pimple like things forming on my fingers, they werent pimples they were these odd brown growths just forming that hurt like hell if you even slightly poked them or applied any pressure. They were mainly at the left side on the top half of my left ring finger, but there were some that were forming on the other fingers. Today I just noticed that theyre now completely gone from my hands.

I have no idea if SR did this at all but the growth things have been there for several months and only now are they gone

>>40759061
Doesn't work that way. Oxytocin is a BONDING chemical, when there is nothing to bond with, it will just cause massive problems elsewhere. All the chemicals such as prolactin,dopamine,serotonin,oxytocin etc work as a TANDEM.

>>40759071
Any esoteric or energy benefits yet brother

>>40758992
If that were true, habituation wouldn't happen, but it does and it's why half of marriages in the west fail.
Most divorces are initiated by women, and whatever reason they give for that is just a rationalization of their inner feelings.
Their inner feelings come from their hormonal response to you (or lack of it).
You made her cum for a few years and now her biology is telling her to move on to new and exciting partners since she has habituated to you.
The reality is that people usually fall in love for "no reason" (hormonal compulsion), and they fall out of love for "no reason" as well.
If you want to keep your partner you should practice bonding based sex rather than orgasm based sex.

>>40759061
Could probably work if you're severally deficient in that area

>lace food with oxytocin
>give food to girl
>eat together
>she falls in love with me
problem, cupid?

>>40746089
Sex is disgusting and unfulfilling unless you’re procreating with your wife. The whole point of SR is to strengthen your resolve. Think of it as spiritual gymnastics. The longer you retain the stronger your sperm becomes. Take care of yourself and get a woman to breed. It will feel 1000000000x more amazing to fill a fertile vagina with your seed anyway. So use this as your incentive to create strong offspring. They’ll thank you for it.

>>40759112
Yeah thats the thing really. Oxytocin isn't released in bunches when you just pump and dump. It's really the extended periods of skin to skin contact which boosts oxytocin exponentially. Not the orgasm itself. Meaningless sex with a whore you just met doesn't release any oxytocin, it only fucks up your dopamine. This also the reason for the "emptiness" feeling some men have after sex.

>>40759125
How has no one tried this yet? This is genius.

Semen Retention Chart, template.

For the anons that "found" God doing SR - how did that happen and what did you do?

I wonder if there is anything that combines the LOA (my background) with this.

Who here still drinks coffee?

I quit the daily habit, but I still have a cup every two weeks or so. The thing is? Every time I’m caffeinated, I’m super lustful. It’s like I get 5x the sexual thoughts after I drink a coffee.

Anyone else in the same boat as me? I’m debating going Mormon and never touching any caffeine the rest of my life.

>>40759296
Do you really believe in LoA anon? I mean. SR makes sense from a biological aspect. MEaning there is evidence than abstaining from PMO is possitive specially for an addict. But LoA is such a taboo complex subject. I would love to think it's real but it makes little sense. Specially the SP stuff. Don't get me wrong. I have had my share of weird stuff happening on SR. And in that sense it makes sense that it could be connected to LoA. But SR has made me much more grounded to the mundane realities of the world and that I need to make real change in my life if I want things to get better.

>>40757521
What is this now? Your 15th angle this month? Its not working shlomo pornstein

>>40759386
Still drink it, much much less than before though, it's possible that at some point you anchored the action of drinking coffee to some lustful activity.
>>40759406
loa as in haitian stuff? just asking.

>>40759515
Law of Assumption

>>40759386
Caffeine is good for brain health. I have admiration abstaining, but only when it is useful somehow. I suppose not drinking it is cheaper if you don't replace the habit with something worse.

>>40759107
Yes I have more enerrgy plus more motivation to actually do stuff but for some reason, atleast today atleast I feel like I’ve hit a kind of flatline, I know its not a complete flatline cause i still want to do things but i just feel barely any sexual drive whatsoever. Whats weird is that last night I got 8 hours of sleep because im actually fixing my sleep schedule which should mean im horny asf today since I technically have more testosterone but this week even on days where i got 4 hours of sleep I was horny all day and wanted to jerk off, so I have no idea why my sexual urges and lust just suddenly disappeared

>>40745782 (OP)
gentlemen, after much distress and impatience, i am pleased to report a woman shot me looks of interest. finally had my first "that was spookily unusual" interaction of semenretention. it is here. the benefits are here. never give up

>>40759521
ok, thanks for answering.

Lost a 13 day streak last night. Ended up sleeping longer this morning. I was waking up without an alarm rather than setting a new one. I feel a little beat down and demotivated, but not as bad as when I lost on a smaller streak or took a few times to get a streak started.

Reducing the frequency after relapses and extending the times between relapses seems like its an improvement compared to failing every 3-5 days. Feel like im able to get back on the horse quicker and with less shame and guilt. I want to go forward not back.

>>40759600
Checked and true
Remember we are fighting demons here. You need to be vigilant 100% of the time and come to the deep and subtle understandings of the evilness of porn and the uselessness of masturbatinv and orgasm

>>40759296
Started by noticing things like synchronicities, then getting clear signs show up IRL about what to do / not focus on. Then I got several experiences of prayers getting manifested, along with their consequences. I think SR opens you up to this because you're trying to conquer your animal impulses to indulge. When you evolve spiritually you get trusted to handle more etheric experiences. That said, I've also had experiences where I indulged (not in cooming, but with food), and everything just fell apart IRL, like some kind of punishment.

Is it actually real lol do women chase you, randomly message you, do exes who haven't spoken to you magically unblock you and sense your seed from miles and miles away? Seems sketchy to me that does

>>40759708
i'm a loser with no exes, but that one is constantly reported here. i've also personally had old people reach out to me during this streak that i haven't talked to in decades

i highly encourage anyone who doesn't do it to keep a "benefits/synchronicities" journal during your streak. i just looked at mine and there were what felt like significant events that i completely blanked on and maybe would have forgotten if i hadn't written them down.

>>40753945
>what's the shutin pill
i'm just having a laugh and poking fun at myself. i do not recommend being a shutin

>>40758208
a better way is to do the Lord's Prayer first since someone asked God how to pray and God said: here is how to pray. and then the Lord's prayer goes:

-acknowledgement of God's holiness
-acquiescence to God's will and kingdom
-asking for what you want (daily bread)
-asking for forgiveness/forgiving others
-asking not for help not messing up again

>>40759515
"it's possible that at some point you anchored the action of drinking coffee to some lustful activity. "

wow. never thought about it like that. so, back in my 20s, I would just sit at the coffee shop all day in NYC and swipe dating apps.

>>40759522
"Caffeine is good for brain health"
Idk about that. It's a neurotoxin and decreases blood flow to the brain

>>40759824
You're mostly right but apparently it's complicated
>Gemini: Caffeine's impact on cerebral blood flow is multifaceted. While it can act as a vasoconstrictor and decrease blood flow, it can also lead to increased blood flow in certain situations, and its effects can vary from person to person and depend on various factors.

The medieval unicorn is widely accepted as a symbol for Jesus Christ. In the Hebrew Scriptures we find images of the “monoceros” ("one-horned mammal") that are associated with power: “But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil,” sings the psalmist David, blessing God for His continued support and blessings. The horn is the symbol for masculine power and virility, celebrated in ancient rites of anointing of a lingham stone representing the Life Force. Anointing of the “horn” is found also in Psalm 23: “Thou has anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows.” This assertion echoes ancient pagan rites of the “sacred marriage” uniting the king with the princess/priestess who represented her land and people. It was the role of the “Bride” to anoint the Sacred King and to be united with him in the bridal chamber, where the consummation of their marriage brought blessings of life and fertility to the people, crops, and herds of the realm.
