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.

>What's the difference between a clean retention streak and a dirty retention streak?
A clean streak means no 'peeking' aka actively looking up porn or erotic images you usually use to fap. If you do that, it becomes a dirty streak. This also includes thinking to horny thoughts or past sexual experiences. In a dirty streak you peeked and might have even touched yourself but you did not ejaculate, thus the streak continues in that regard but becomes 'dirty' for those days. If you ejaculated the retention streak ends. You should always strive for a streak that is clean in both thoughts and actions.

>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)...

>>40889517 (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)

>>40889525
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.

>Time doesn't slow down or speed up; it just is. I get way more done in a day now than ever before. How? By slowing down my mind, by silencing my reactivity to things, by being okay with whatever the present moment offers. Do tasks in an orderly, methodical fashion. Don't take shortcuts and make sure all details are accounted for. Don't let the past or future overwhelm you. If you're building a house, don't daydream about the finished product while pouring your concrete slab or you're going to fuck up the slab. Just pour the slab and make it the best slab you've ever poured, then move onto the next. Absolute focus and intentionality. If you're filling out a form, don't rush to write in the blanks. Take your time to ensure each letter is written as neatly as you are capable of writing them. Take your time. The universe yields to those who reduce entropy and punishes those who increase it.

Reminder that jews never stopped engaging in human sacrifice and ritual sexual abuse

I like to remind you fellas (and myself) that relapse is more or less a conscious decision. There’s this split second decision that you make when you’re on the brink of giving in to the craving, you should know that at this point hesitation is defeat, your heart may waver and you may give in, even then you should try your best to pick yourself up and avoid slipping down the slippery slope that comes afterwards. Acknowledging and confronting the emotion of lust also helps, when you feel it, imagine as if it is presented to you, for example just like how someone may offer you an apple, you (the conscious you, who commands your body and makes decisions) are offered lust by your body as a reaction to a trigger, you can either bite into that apple and give and or reject that offer and go on your merry way. This of-course is a ridiculous oversimplification but the jist of what im trying to say is you have the capability to either give in or refrain from relapsing, if you relapse then you chose to relapse, obviously nobody likes to admit defeat but in doing this you’re affirming that you can be in control instead of being controlled by your emotion, this by itself can help you rebound from not being able to reject temptation, if you can’t say no to it, you can never reach high stretches of time without doing it.

I’m feeling very great right now, I wish you guys good luck. Wagmi and most importantly be strong

>>40889745
Thanks man, monday, if I dont slip up (I wont) will be day 60 for me. Last night for whatever reason was really difficult, maybe the full moon had something to do with it, God only knows. But yeah I didn’t give in. WAAGMI.

I cummed during a nap. It fucking sucks because I was feeling really contented the last few days and could feel a shift in me. Then I ate junk food and felt like shit. Well, hope I can get back into the groove despite that. Here's to another day tomorrow.

Keep moving forward.
Semper incessum.

With God on our side, who can stand against us? Do NOT let the LIES of satan find harbour in your hearts boys. This is the greatest challenge of your lives. Your very souls are the battlefield. The devil will work every kind of falsehood against you but you KNOW his lies. We ALL know them, let God give you strength... lean into His power... in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we will prevail. My prayers are with you. Now go forth and live.

A wet dream is not a relapse

>>40889879
We all have our own standards and journeys, to me, spilled semen is just that. And usually if we are honest with ourselves we know why the 'wet dream' happened.

>>40889871
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:1-4

Even women were able to entice angels to fall if im interpreting these verses correctly. This is a stronger battle than people many realize. Lust has caused many great men to fall like Solomon, David, Samson. These were very spiritually blessed men too. I believe being able to fight lust through the help of God brings a little bit of favor, but also opens you up to more spiritual attacks. Keep fighting anons. This stuff is very real.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!? I just peed out cum after going on a run. A few drops came out at the end. My mind has been fairly clean I'd say. Wat do?

>>40889567
The rest of the important stuff:
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.

Day 42 I think
Lost all interest in fapping or viewing pornography. Not sexually inert (like some shills will say), I'm just not interested in being a perv. Still should be careful, evil strikes when you're unaware. Pray about this, ask God to protect you from Noct Emissions and sexual dreams. Have a good one lads.

>>40889517 (OP)
Has anyone else noticed that it kind of gets easier with each attempt

I'm on day 0 right now after relapsing on 18 days but a positive pattern I've noticed is that every time I relapse, i get a little bit farther the next time.

Like I used to be unable to get past day 1 or 2, and then I kept trying and eventually got to my record of 7 days. Then I failed at 7 days and tried again and made a new record at 12 days. Then I failed on the 12 day and tried again and then I got to my current best of 18 days, and now im on day 0. It seemingly gets easier every attempt I do.

It basically means that (eventually) I'm guaranteed to quit fapping all together based on the principle. Maybe not immediately but its inevitable.

>>40890479
Yes thats how its been for me. And you have the right attitude. Failing upwards is the key to success. I made it to 30 days of a dirty streak in march, which was my longest streak at that point. Between now and then I had a few short streaks, and tomorrow I will be at 60 days which is my longest streak so far, and this current streak has been so much easier than the 30 day one. At that 30 days in march I would have fucked ruth bader ginsberg I was so fucking bricked up. What I remind myself is that jerking off is literally like three seconds of a dopamine rush. But all of the benefits of nofap, easygoing demanor, more energy, more testosterone, more social more proactive. Those aren’t benefits I am willing to give up. Haven’t gotten any texts from any exes or women throwing pussy at me like others have reported but whatever, YMMV.

Day 71

>>40890630
king

>>40890555
Your story is soul fuel and also gives me more hope and also reaffirms my principle i came up with of it getting easier and your streak getting longer every time you try.

I also found something similar myself. On the 12 day streak I had on the 12th day it felt like my head was gonna explode, meanwhile the 12th day on the 18 day streak was calm and easy. Its almost like each streak I do, the capacity for me to withstand not ejaculating increases.

Gives me more positive hope and basically makes it guaranteed that I will eventually just never fap again. I’ve stopped hating on myself when I relapse and now instead I just have a mindset where i just get back up again and try my best to not dwell on my relapse and just continue life like it never happened.

It just hit me, that ancient meme with becoming a wizard if you didn't get laid past the age of 30, that should technically only be valid if you haven't been cooming at all during all that time, so how many actual wizards are out there? It's got to be a ridiculously low amount, literal monks and other hardcore practitioners..

>>40889567
Holy holy. Capped this. I’ve been thinking of all the people I’ve heard say that as you get older time moves faster because one minute of your time is a smaller percentage of your time compared to the amount of time you’ve lived. I don’t believe it. It’s a lie. That’s why it’s popular.

Sometimes at work my life feels like an eternity. I used to resent this and try to escape, but now that I embrace it and spend time with God through prayer, I’m thankful that this is true and not the “time is quickening” theory.

Take it from an actual practicing Catholic (not a larper) who has some connection to the higher levels of the Church. What you people are advocating for and practicing here is not righteous but based on misguided notions at best or pride at worst.
The charitable thing, at this time in history, is to "fap". Not only is it the Kali Yuga, in the Hindu sense, but the West itself (and therefore the world) is in it's winter phase as per Spengler. Add to this the end of the age of Pisces. That is at least three major cycles closing.
The temporal power is obligated to ensure as smooth a transition as possible through the no mans land between cycles. Sad to say, this means putting everyone to sleep. Think of it as a sort of cryogenic freezing while transporting from one world or time to another.
What this means in practical terms is distractions, bread and circuses, hypnos. Sure, a hundred or even fifty years ago sexual continence was useful, but now it only leads to disruption of the transition period. What, you think you're going to make some kind of difference in the world? Fate says otherwise. Cyclical laws say otherwise.
Part of doing Gods will means living in accordance with the reality of the times. So instead of engaging in disruptive practices that could potentially threaten this delicate period of transition, stop being so selfish. Think about it, you actually have permission to just have a wank, maybe do some drugs, whatever. The point is you don't have to worry, there's no need to "play the man". Especially at this time in history. God would prefer it if you got off your high horse and did your part by getting some rest and letting this all play out without interference by some would be hero.

1 year SR.

I'm so calm and feel so amazing in my body now. It's quite surreal...
I have full ascended to some new state of being and mind.
I've taken a week off gym to focus on meditating and feel myself at ease.

I decided to go on a hike in nature today and something different has happened. Women were coming near me, creating deep conversation and not just the regular hi/bye as you pass them. They were staring into my eyes with intense energy, they were creating conversation, One followed me around for some odd reason. I could feel a pressure from them like they wanted me to pursue. I do not know how else to describe it. My intuition just knew something felt very different.

I have chosen to abstain from lust/sex unless it is from love but I notice my "animal" drive is so intense now because of this. I can feel my inner demon licking it's lips but I hold it at bay. What is this and does anyone have advice, should be concerned?

I should illustrate it this way tldr; women are giving me sex stares and I can feel my urge to want their energy so much harder and stronger but I keep it at bay because I know it is not the path now. (I fell for this trap once on the journey of SR)

It is also not about sex at all (this is just the type of energy being felt), it is a far deeper energy and It's so strong it feels like it is boiling in my entire body. My entire body is saturated with this energy and meditation calms it energy and transmutes it from sexual to mental clarity and focus but I feel like a beast/demon. It is more latent energy now but it is wanting somewhere to go and it knows sex is an easy release for it.

I've been having this urge to get a punching bag lately, I think this is needed to release some of whatever this energy is. Qi at maximum capacity with nowhere to go?

>Anyone else had the same experiences when they reached 1 year SR? And advice? Thanks

>>40891355

Not a Christian. More likely just a delusional psuedointellectual who has huffed too many farts and decided that the entire world now conforms to his peculiar brand of nonsense and oh, by the way, his worldview just so happens to also justify mindless hendonism like fapping and drug taking, what a convenient self-rationalisation! Surely this isn't just a gigacope from a pathetic coomer, no, no, reality itself has descended from above and condensed into a giant infodrop directly into his brain and he is now The One, so all the sad lazy moments of his life spent jerking his little gherkin are actually him being united with the zeitgeist in perfect synchronisation like the megabrain smartypants generational hero he is.

What r u gonna do with all the cum if anything?
How do u resist the urges to fuck every single hot tight bitch that approaches u?
What tf would happen if u were to nut on some bitches face? Would it all come out weird or nah?

Does meditating daily accelerate SR benefits and make them come faster?

I have seen multiple people in earlier threads saying it does. I have also seen people saying fasting is good and accelerates benefits but im trying to gain weight and get bigger so fasting isnt an option for me. Does meditating like 5 or 10 minutes a day (I’ll do more each day later on, im just trying to build the habit of meditation first) make you get SR benefits faster

>>40890555
Check'd but hear me out:
Are there any proven benefits? All I hear is "more energy" or "I feel less of an autist", but those are clearly not enough to claim SR actually does something.

>>40892507
Just try it for yourself, there is literally no downside, you either feel the benefits or you don't.

Waaaa waaaa I can't touch my dick for 30 days waaaaa, who gives a fuck really? If you can't not do something for 30 days you're clearly addicted to that thing regardless of what it is.

>>40892507
honestly the more i do SR the more I feel like everyone is bullshitting me and that none of the “superpowers” shit is real and its just people being retarded, but I still do SR anyways simply so that I dont have the shame of fapping to degenerate porn anymore. Theres other benefits but not having the shame of fapping or looking at porn is the most proven one, which is enough for atleast me to do SR

>>40892490
>fasting
does nothing, will actively slow down any progress
>meditation
Helps channel thoughts and energy accelerating the SR timeline.

>>40892552
Shame is a root cause for a lot of social problems, Eye contact, Body posture, Anxiety, Brain fog etc etc

If doing SR gets rid of your shame it will also help with other things that shame will impact.

>>40892438
not a jew but wouldn't jerking off technically increase your dick size since you are stressing your dick muscles each time you do it, making them grow like it's a workout for your dick?

>>40892579
This anon thinks
>>40892555
>etc etc
Bro admit it, only losers believe SR actually helps with that. What you experience is you not being a little bitch and actually standing your fucking ground, has nothing to do with avoiding touching your wee wee

>>40892579
Wouldn't morning wood be enough for that?

>>40892612
Hmm this anon might be onto something, care to elaborate please?

>>40892612
When you cum your dick muscles do shit, idk exactly what happens, I think they're like pumping the cum out, but I know that it does happen. You won't really feel it on your first orgasm, but after like 3 orgasms in a row, my dick starts to really hurt and you can just tell from the type of pain that it's the muscles that are really exhausted and when I throb my dick it really feels like flexing my forearm muscles, but in my dick. Don't get me wrong, I think fapping is wrong and you shouldn't do it, but I'm a lifelong coomer of 10 years and my cock is 7.9 inches, but I can't say if that's genetics or if I really was gymmaxxing my dick.

>>40892624
Makes so much sense. I believe a mild form of SR (two weeks or so) followed by a series of strong jerks might be the key for natural efficient dick gymmaxxing

>Day 7
I'm energized, motivated, and kicking old habits such as PMOs, peeking at /e/ or /a/, and can jump out of bed when I wake up.
Perhaps not all of this is related to SR and just generally improving my own habits, but I think helps SR by giving me some energy to keep up with it all.

There's just one habit I can't seem to kick and its tulpa/servitor sex. I used to be involved with tulpamancy but stepped away because I believe it would interfere with relationships with other people, and now I'm stuck with the ability to impose near-orgasmic levels of touch on myself without cumming. This isn't even something I used to do in a long while, this just came back while doing SR. While its nice to have a middle ground between an outlet for sexual release while maintaining benefits of SR, I want to achieve mental purity as well. This feels like the final hurdle for me at this point, though perhaps its also the reason I haven't relapsed yet desu.

Any advice, anons?

Aren't you guys just talking about exercising with kegels? No, you don't need to jack off to do them, but I think they'll help you shoot further, not lengthen yourself.

>>40890555
Yea I did 40 day dirty streak and it was garbage I was edging the whole time and despite the benefits I wanted to break it constantly. I'm on a 20 day clean streak now and its so much less trouble

>>40890921
I had 5 years where I was depressed and gooning the whole time and it felt like life was just flashing by while I was just spectating. I saw everyone else around me moving on with their lives and thought I could never catch up. This year on SR it feels like time is slowing to a crawl and every day is like 3, and that each situation has significance for better or for worse. I have events that feel majorly meaningful or distressing but when I check the calendar its actually only been like a week. I watched a video recently about intrinsic motivation and how when you're addicting to porn or video games or social media you exhaust the dopamine available to deploy when you explore subjects you're actually interested in and I think that is the physical mechanism of the effect:

>I decided to go on a hike in nature today and something different has happened. Women were coming near me, creating deep conversation and not just the regular hi/bye as you pass them. They were staring into my eyes with intense energy, they were creating conversation, One followed me around for some odd reason. I could feel a pressure from them like they wanted me to pursue. I do not know how else to describe it. My intuition just knew something felt very different.
>I should illustrate it this way tldr; women are giving me sex stares and I can feel my urge to want their energy so much harder and stronger but I keep it at bay because I know it is not the path now. (I fell for this trap once on the journey of SR)

Thanks bro, you’re giving words to what I’ve felt and know is true. I recall an ex who confronted me saying I was losing interest in my passions (at the time we were making music together). That was years ago and the relationship crashed and burned. But since I’ve been breaking free of lust I’ve been rediscovering my hobbies and rediscovering myself. It’s a gift from God. The way you explained it is the scientific basis of it.

It's a logical fallacy, obviously

Anybody noticing any esoteric benefits? They need speaking about more than the physical benefits as the physical is proven by science.

>>40892555
nta, on a good clean streak right now, little over a week and basically no desires so far
I resolved myself to push for 60 days just to see what might happen

all I can say is the brain fog is clearing and its making way for the shame to really hit me
might just be mood swings or something like that but I dont think I have ever thought less of myself as a person at certain times

>>40893237
I have had some reconnections from my past. Much more vivid dreams, but they have become violent and sometimes very brutal. That's it for now. I'm on day 40.

>>40893248
Who reconnected?

>>40893261
An ex girlfriend, other people from the past have messaged me out of the blue.

>>40893276
That's wild. Did you get an answer from them about why they came back?

>>40893283
nothing. That GF was not a good ending and I was thinking about talking to her. Then on Friday she added me, we had not talked for years. That same day 3 other people messaged me over the span of 30 minutes. One told me that "she had been dreaming about me". I have zero logical explanation. The only thing that changed is the 40 day streak. The longest I have ever had. I haven't done any meditation or anything at all either. I'm in a very depressive rut but hey. SR has something else that we as humans cannot explain. That stuff is unexplainable.

>>40893294
I had similar especially the dreams thing but it was sooner to breakup than years ago merely weeks, she came back then took my seed and left. I was very silly ending my streak of 22 days. She said she dreamed of us having a kid.

>>40893314
Are you the gf anon who said the gf hated him ?

>>40893326
I haven't posted for like 6 weeks because I keep getting lured back into gooning.

>>40893350
hahah I knew it!!! Forget her god dammit!!!!

>>40893360
Oh I have. I was just bringing it up due to him, she reached back out anyway and I told her to fuck off.

>>40891888
Yes get a punching bag or sign up for martial arts at a real dojo that does not allow females, that will help use up some of the energy. Good luck and stay strong brother.

>why is it when people try to preach religion

He didn't even preach religion. He claimed Catholicism and then promoted indulging in various vice which are the opposite tenants of the religion. It was obviously some kind of shill or troll post.

That's how most things progress.

Im 29 now, I was half way there. I didnt masturbate until I was 14 back then I thought cooking was disgusting and pathetic until I started having my first wet dreams. I couldn't explain to my mom why there was so much semen in my sheets so I started masturbating and doing my own laundry

>>40892624
yeea like if you cum all the time your dick need to be very hard and pump to cum.. when your on sr you can cum without being hard .. this is why when you cum after a long streak its feellll like shit.. like you felll like nothing and are like why the fuck i do thaat

>dopamine availability

eat meat in the morning ..it have a lot of tyrosine in it .. tyrosine = dopamine

With day 10 nearing completion I am reflecting on the changes I have already noticed. When I speak I hear a well rounded and confident voice as though it were someone else's, even if I am not particularly confident in what i'm saying. In my coomer days I would speak and hear a reedy, stammering, weak voice, even if I felt confident about whatever I was saying. Another odd one, my handwriting has improved. I wrote a birthday card for someone today and my handwriting was much cleaner and better looking than the scrawl I produced as a coomer. No joke. It seems the bar has raised unilaterally for every little aspect of my life.
On the flipside I am under daily assault by the coomdemons tempting me to watch lewd feeds or stare at the ass of every girl I see.

>>40892553

can confirm, stammering nearly went away too.

>>40894351
I know and agree, but I was just thinking about it because some anons post about "peeking" at porn and then relapsing, as if they wanted to do semen retention more than they wanted to quit porn, kind of a "Putting the cart before the horse" situation

I'm on day 40 and there have been ups and downs. But I definitely am better and more powerful spiritually and mentally because I have gained control over myself. The rest will be easy,

>>40894302
You're like asking if edging is worse than cooming you can't coom without edging first and maybe psychologically the edging is more corrosive because the porn is training you to be a cuck. Whether you then go on to coom or goon it's just a lose-lose at that point, do you want to be rewarded and develop a Pavlovian habit of PMO or do you want to prolong the anticipatory high and make yourself mentally retarded.since you never have a post-nut temporary clarity.

>>40894302
I think that really depends on what "porn" you are looking at.
If it's lingerie models, it's way better than jerking off.
If it's degenerate/fetish shit you are damaging your brain, so just jerking off is better.

Anyone else find the first week or so to be the hardest?
I find it's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking "I'm only on day 3 it doesn't matter if I break this streak I can just start again and it's not like I've lost any progress."

The problem is that I keep thinking this so I keep relapsing and never making it past the first few days.

Any tips for getting out of this cycle.

>>40895027
I try and push for day 5 rather than a week. For me day 5 is where I start to overcome the guilt and also I think its when I start to notice benefits. It also gets easier around day 5. If you are on day 3 and thinking of relapsing, knowing you just have two more days until things get better helps. The first 2-3 days are always the hardest. The devil likes you to be stuck in shame and guilt and thinking its easier to just stay where your at.

>>40894949
>>40894833
While I can see where you're coming from, I still think it's easier to go from turbo coomer to "no porn coomer" than to turbo nofapper or "nofapper looking at lingerie models"

>40894302
>Would you guys agree that watching/looking at porn is worse than jerking off?
Porn amplifies the process immensely, same process still happens with habitual masturbation. You aren't really interest in SR, right?
>40895156
> I still think it's easier to go from turbo coomer to "no porn coomer" than to turbo nofapper or "nofapper looking at lingerie models"
Yes, it's easier to quit heroin pumping synthetic opioids than to go cold turkey. A guaranteed relapse for the addict unless additional measures are taken. On the other hand, so to speak,I don't think I've seen anybody around this threads suggesting that you just stop masturbating one day after being addicted to it on top of porn for decades upon decades, although it should be enough for a person with enough will power.

>>40895027
Just try again, get mentally stronger and avoid getting bored. There is no easy solution, it's a mental/spiritual battle.
Ask yourself if it is worth it to cum, think of the disgust you will feel afterwards.

It personally took me several years to get to 60 days lol

>>40894359
Poor guy, I know from own experience that narcissists can be a challenge to break from, I guess when it is a women it's twice as hard because they feed both on your emotional and your sexual energies.

>>40891888
there's no point in doing Semen retention if you're still looking at porn. It's been 2 weeks since I went on gooning binge after completing 100 days. Sure, I experieced the high T benefits but I didnt really experience any supernatural crazy shit like early on in my other streaks.

I think it was easier for me because I had fairly vanilla turn ons and never went into the deep end of degenerate fetish content. What I was interested in was something that would be attainable in a healthy relationship. Maybe that sort of transition process would be easier for a hardcore porn addict, I'm not sure.

>>40892555

You don’t know shit retard, although I agree with some of the things you are saying. The next age is about truth and enlightenment and one of the best ways to get there is not chocking your cock in to oblivion.

wow, that was an all out succubus attack, day 50 clean streak, escaped at the end, such a confidence boost to successfully thwart their attacks in dreams

okay i'm that anon who's in SR for like half a year and complains about no benefits. and i'm super tempted, and what's keeping me from gooning right now is i'm afraid all the luck/good fortune i've had from investing will run dry. so that's weird. i guess there are benefits, i just can't prove them.

Your brain will tell itself anything to go down that dopamine pathway again, that's what addiction is. Either learn to reason with it or learn to ignore it.

>>40896131
For me, I usually flatline after the first month, sometimes all the way through month 6. Consider it withdrawal symptoms and brain rewiring of your fried dopamine circuits.

>>40893237

Day 2 was a great success boys, woowoo.

>>40895618
Hell yeah, same here. Let’s get it brother.

Day 27. Last night I was under demonic attack from a succubus, I'm over the target. It's nice how they remind me I'm doing something right. I was almost thinking nothing was gonna happen. They really don't want me to succeed, so I'll do my best just to spite them haha, fuck you demons. They can't even scare me anymore, they tormented me my whole life and I'm just numb to them now.

Masturbated to cuckold pornography again.
Disappointed. I try and fail so often, feels almost hopeless, but I will overcome, but arguably I've over come too much.

Day 11. Feels like a hell march. It's taking all I have just to stay on the path. God be with me. God be with us all.

>>40897118
Keep on marching brother, it's a mental path we are walking.

Now it's petplay hentai.

>>40892670
Yes, vid is somewhat accurate

To illustrate my inner ideas as to why women are so drawn and engaging with me constantly now (I could be wrong, these are my honest thoughts trying to understand the phenomena):

Since my eyes/mind have changed from looking at women for lust/sex but instead my eyes have absolutely no problem staring a women down like a bull seeing red. The sexual tension and energy is still within and felt but because we have decided to only seek pure women, my eyes are not easily waivered by a woman. They have become piercing, perceiving, trying to reach maximum perception to not be fooled by deception.

My eyes feel intense but flip to love. I found god and love for all so there is this weird dichotomy of an intensity but it's not aggression or to be feared. It's from love and purity and perception, all my senses have changed like this, I listen to ever word very carefully, read body language, read signals. I can see the social games now and I suppose a women might find this demeanor highly desirable?

A man so sure of themselves they do not seek anything from the women, my eyes do not wander over their body parts, their sexual appearance (revealing clothes or w/e) is is not something that can control me now. They have no control so they want to probe me, entice me, test me. Maybe it's their own curiosity of being treated so different?

I have never experienced anything like this before so maybe what I describe is cringe and we could just boil it down to - Women like confident men? But this would be an over simplification, I've seen many women be put off by "confident men" some are confident in a gross way... You must come from love and be willing to reject the hottest women alive if she is not pure hearted. This is what the difference is. A confident man would fuck any girl still.

(I feel like I'm becoming a guru, people are coming to me, seeking me, I feel fulfilled and full but this might be too much to bare for my heart?)

Is anal sex (sodomy) far worse than we may have realized? I think in the past few months its been really starting to hit me. I admit though I have been an extremely degenerate coomer and it almost seems like age itself is making me naturally repent or be disgusted with this all? Can't say for sure though just a feeling. Won't get deeper into fetish talk since /x/ doesn't seem to be the board for that but just my thoughts here. My deeper reflecting on this in the past months is actually making nofap semen retention way easier than it has in a very long time for me.

Also this world is starting to feel very Silent Hillish to me. Not that its going to suddenly turn into a fog world with monsters but the way the better games in the series would handle psychology, subtlety and the shifts into the other world, I feel like our world actually does work this way with many of us starting to realize something has been off for a long time. The shift has been so slow though and we can only piece it together like a puzzle in hindsight. I think this is another reason why I have been losing interest in fapping lately.

>important points
I think we have been gaslit hard into lusting for female flesh guys. Especially the female ass in the past decades. I feel its all been a trick and its shifting our world into a very shitty one that we will regret and soon want to change very fast. No matter how horny a females butt makes us we need to remember an ass is still an ass and maybe we need to cringe if we become like horny dogs lusting so hard over female butts. Maybe celibacy wasn't such a bad thing after all. I really hope this isn't me coping but hopefully you guys understand my points.

>Day 38 or so
Had a few dirty days but this is the cleanest run I've ever had. Unfortunately I've been having wet dreams every 3-4 days for a few weeks now and I'm losing my mind, since I usually feel like shit for 3 days after I cum. Going to try lucid dreaming but I'm not sure how to do it, let alone how to do it consistently. Currently trying to create a trigger that will hopefully tell me when I'm dreaming. But I'm more and more convinced that there's an actual succubus attached to me. More research required on that, probably.

>>40897658
Yeah I have a trigger that I created, every day I repeat to myself "if I'm flying I'm dreaming" even if I don't become lucid I end up flying a lot in my dreams and at times I'll realize I'm dreaming because of it. Might be hard to do though if you've never flown, I find it helps to have a little tool that aids you like maybe a broomstick, that helps, broomstick is very fun, you just point the broom in the direction you wanna fly. Catholic demon banishment ritual will rid you of the succubus, I did that and mine was gone for months, recently came back tho, might be a different one I'm not sure, the prayers and the spraying of holy water definitely works tho I recommend it. Just look up the catholic ritual in pdf or whatever, will make you feel like you're Constantine, from that movie. It would be so cool to be a professional exorcist. They don't even scare me anymore.
