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)...

shills create threads without the important stuff so here you go

>In case of urges:
- imgur.com/gallery/g4eGH
- Don't peek and Hold your breath for as long as you possibly can. The urge usually pass after that. If not, repeat.
- Horse stance or chair pose: Do it while clenching the abdomen and all legs' muscles, raise arms for extra blood flow redirection. Works both for killing erections or urges.
- Any physical activity.

On long clean streaks many report benefits that transcend current science like a sort of "magnetism" or higher "vibration/aura" that attracts/appeals to other living beings, a higher perception, a stronger and intimidating "aura/presence", a deeper connection with nature, an attractive BO (people usually report it as "pheromones") and more.

>Advices:
- Mental Purity 1.1: Semen Retention acts as a bio-electromagnetic amplifier. Watch the quality of your thoughts because your inner state will get amplified and manifested. Lust is the Ojas killer. Do not engage with Lust.
- Mental Purity 1.2: Keep a journal as a tool for introspection.
- NEVER watch porn of any kind.
- Remove triggers from your life. Masturbation is a bad habit. Break that bad habit.
- Focus on achieving a goal. An art, a craft, competing, etc.
- Meditate and/or Pray Daily. Try a minimum of 5 minutes to start off.
- Exercise/Gym/Sports/Martial Arts. If it is something social even better.
- Good habits like healthy eating, water fasting, dry fasting, sun exposure and cold showers do seem to speed up the process.
- Sublimation: literally using the energy.
- Transmutation: changing the quality of energy to something different. (Surya Namaskara, 8 brocades, Tibetan rites)

Keep in mind that the efferent nerves attached to your testes necessarily means that any lustful thought, image, or sound is necessarily a command to your junk to produce sexual fluids and this is the reason why celibacy is first and foremost of the mind
The root of this entire matter is the mind - without conquering the mind, celibacy is a futile effort
The signals from the brain happen on the subconscious autonomic level
This is why any lustful thought, image, or sound is necessarily a command to the sexual organs to produce sexual fluids (the more intently you look, the higher amplitude of a signal gets sent: body > afferent nerves > brain > efferent nerves > body)
Therefore "Conversion of sexual energy to something" is necessarily a HORRIBLY inefficient process (Not to confuse with Sexual Transmutation)
Fluids will be reabsorbed, but the energy and materials cost to make it vs how much is "taken back" via reabsorption is SEVERELY unbalanced and super net negative
Sexual fluids are made from the cream of the crop of the body's resources - constantly generating them means that you are constantly draining away the cream of the crop of your resources.
Taoist writings said that the sexual organs will even take primacy over nourishing your other internal organs at some point. (Thus, doing a spiritual practice as a coomer is a surefire way to die faster).

It’s always good to remember why /x/ is the most accurate place for this topic: semen retention is one of the clearest paranormal inducing thing of all the other topics discussed on /x/. It’s a sacred practice that has been the one of the main focuses in every major religion or spiritual practices. The mystical side of it is what we try to focus on in here.

Semen retention can be political issue too and it would then belong to /pol/. The porn industry is a tool made by the jews to deterioate the societies and corrupt the people. The porn works in ways that program new sets of behaviour in its audience and the audience is hooked to it because of its strong addictive qualities. The most important goal for porn’s male audience was and is the releasing of their semen. As we now know, the disadvantages of cooming are heavy: a man becomes less of a man, he gets sick and weak, his mind numbed, he will have impotence issues etc. Also his spirit almost dies.

Semen retention is beneficial to make one healthier and stronger, more fit, if you will. So the topic could be discussed on /fit/. Anyone looking for more ways to get fitness gains would benefit hugely from the SR.

Also the SR has so many other benefits that it could be discussed in the /adv/ board. These would be topics how it improves one’s social life, mental state, makes more time to be more productive etc.

But I think the biggest benefits of SR are something mystical in nature and the whole practice is fundamentally something very close to spiritual side of things. All the other topics in here /x/ are left far behind and SR actually makes this board of any relevancy. This is also known by the enemy and they make strong efforts to suppress, hijack, twist and end this discussion.

Vril is a type of girlfriend from Antarctica, descended from nationalist socialist Germans in the 1940s

its amazing just 2 weeks ago I'd be looking at some really sordid shit and getting off to it, I feel full of energy and life again
yesterday I was super horny constantly fantasizing but now even those urges are gone
I'm able to think better
it feels good bros

>>40909443
You have to be a white man to understand.

I really need to get back on the wagon.
For a few years, from ~2018-2022, I slowly but surely got better about SR/nofap, culminating in what was a pretty impressive streak for me (60 days). Since, it's mostly been downhill, and I'm back to a point now where I do it pretty much every day and feel little remorse. Yet, I still know it's wrong, and fear the fact that I don't feel shame or guilt anymore. I think I'm just too busy all the time now to sit with that shame; I coom and then immediately forget about it. But I know things would be psychologically and spiritually healthier, perhaps close to idyllic, if I just stopped this habit. And unfortunately, I suspect that the even more ubiquitous and insidious habit of screen usage as a whole is more similar than many assume and needs to be the next to go. If I had a choice to use screens recreationally but never use porn or only use screens for porn and never any other recreational activity, I would choose the former in a heartbeat. But as with every addiction, the reason one succumbs to it is that he feels he can overcome the drawbacks, he feels he can have his vice and never have to pay for it, because he alone can handle it.

>>40909592
Abolish lust and deny the fantasy immediately. When you indulge in fantasy you seep energy out of your field.

>>40909367
That's retarded, so many other plant supplements/compounds can be called "pesticide toxins" to make them sound scary.

Also I've found that caffeine increases synchronicities, not killing magnetism.

It only spikes your cortisol in a negative way if you're overdoing it, have an unhealthy metabolism, or you drink coffee black with no food like a retard. You're supposed to have it with food.

All this anti-sugar and caffeine sperging is retarded, just like the anti-red meat shills who inevitably pop up in these threads.

I spoiled a streak of around 2-3 weeks. I just had a mega boner that was itching and I gave in.
I didn't even look at porn or any stimulating images, so it was a relatively "clean" loss but I am still a little annoyed.

I am aiming to recover quickly and not let it get to me too hard and risk a relapse.

Day 53 here and I'm drinking as much caffeine as I want.
I think some of ya'll have some idea where you want to lock yourself in a room with no food, no water, no stimulation of any kind and whip yourself with that thing that Catholics use to atone.
Not everyone is gonna go to an extreme and fully deprive themself of everything to reach zen enlightenment.
We need caffeine to MAGA. If you disagree you're a LIBTARD.

NEED REPORTS

Have any of you experienced any hair regrowth with SR? I believe that all the coomin’ thinned my hair. Is it possible to at least partially reverse this

>>40910504
yes, at one point I had a couple months of terrible insomnia and was spilling seed every night to help me fall asleep. I noticed that hairline receded a bit around that that time, and it regrew after stopping the frequent cooming.

>>40910504
my facial hair started growing much faster and more of it

>>40910049
I'm just mostly annoyed that I just decided to rub one out because I couldn't bear it much longer.
I made a conscious choice to spoil the streak and that just doesn't sit right with me.

>>40910504
According to my bro science research.

When you coom , your testosterone SPIKES. If you have hair follicles that are sensitive to testosterone, cooming in THEORY can cause balding because of the daily testosterone spikes, now what else is part of testosterone? DHT, the hormone responsible for beard growth but too much of this hormone will cause severe balding. Prolactin also spikes up when you coom, what does prolactin do? Also cause balding! This is why, a tell tale sign of a chronic COOMER is the COOMER beard and receding hairline. Even with all this info, what you must FIRST do is look at your family tree for norwoods ASAP.

>>40910649
testosterone goes down when you coom, otherwise everyone would be jerking off 3 times right before working out

>>40910684
It spikes at the exact moment when you coom dumbass. All this info is out there. Like, there's legitimate studies backing my statement. I know you guys hate science but this is the truth.

testosterone spiking in serum, i.e. in the blood, means testosterone is NOT binding to receptors, which means less of the things associated with high testosterone/masculinity are happening.

Wsup retainers.
Tomorrow will be day 64 — My longest streak so far. before this one was 30 days on a dirty streak. Been feeling like I want to relapse lately. On day 59 I had pretty strong feelings of relapse but didn’t fap or peek. That full moon in the summer time had me feeling really randy.
I have read about “the flatline” guys on SR feel, like basically there is a time when the benefits dont feel so powerful once youre at a certain point. I dont know, I dont feel bad at all and I really dont want to relapse and go back to gooning because then I would feel like absolute shit. Honestly, ive never been a junkie or into hard drugs but I am absolutely an addict.
When I start smoking weed or eating weed edibles I literally do it whenever I am not on the clock at work. And when im back to gooning, im gooning, again, whenever I have the opportunity pretty much. Both addictions seem harmless to normie judaiized society. But I used to absolutely never get anything done except for the bare minimum. I would be tired all the time, have brain fog all the time. I dont want to go back to that. Fuck that. I quit weed over a year ago too but that was kinda against my will since I lost a job over weed because I failed a UA.

>>40910762
Yeah I made the previous thread and after I posted the copypasta I realized that link was broken. Felt like a real dumbass. If I make the next thread maybe I will remember to delete that link.

I’m 3 weeks into my streak and I’ve been trying to make a clean one. The dread of not having a soulmate partner is really starting to eat away at me. Someone please tell me it gets better eventually (without getting a gf I mean because I just don’t think that’s realistic anymore).

But I like coffee.

>>40911284
how? it's actually the most disgusting shit in the world, on par with dark chocolate if not worse. unless you mix it with 10 gallons of milk for each drop of coffee it's literally nausea inducing

>>40911280
>without getting a gf I mean because I just don’t think that’s realistic anymore

>>40911284
Coffee is so gross that it only becomes tolerable after you sugar bomb the ever living shit out of it.

>>40911320
Not him but it’s an acquired taste I guess. Some forms of black coffee can be quite pleasing when it’s not too bitter. I did quit coffee 2.5 months ago tho spite still enjoying it at the end. I’m still recovering from the withdrawal.

>>40911336
I’m 33 but it’s not even about the age as much. I want a non-tattoo’d, unvaxxed (for covid) virgin that is also reasonably attractive. These women were a dime a dozen for previous generations but are probably less than 1% of the population.

>>40911280
>The dread of not having a soulmate partner
If you cannot be content being single you will never have a woman fully commit to you. Women only respect a man who they know is willing and capable of walking away.

>>40911364
>33
yeah it's so fucking over, I would kill myself if I was you. 1% is still 1 in 100 people which is quite a lot, if you REALLY want to you can probably travel to some conservative area and you'll likely find girls there, but those kinds of girls usually get married young to other young men but if you do find someone who might seriously consider you it's absolutely not going to be a virgin

explain this one

>>40911394
My boomer friend married a 25 year old virgin when was in his 40s. I guess it was a different time.

>>40911364
We are the same age and I have completely given up on that quest. I am literally going to fly to medellin colombia next year and become a complete passport bro sex tourist. I dont give two fucks about getting a girlfriend or marriage or kids. If I work 60 hour weeks for the rest of my life and my wife works too I still wouldn’t be able to provide my children a better life than what my parents gave me. The standard of living is that devastating.
Isn’t the point in having kids to provide them a better life than what your parents gave you? Or at least that was the intention before the boomer generation. I would be slaving away at some shit job, wife would be doing the same with her work husband boss. And my kids would become trans or worse, a soundcloud rapper. Yeah no thanks, it just makes logical sense to not go down that road. I literally just want to go to colombia to fuck big booty latinas I dont give a shit about having a girlfriend anymore, haven’t for like five years. I cant pretend to appreciate women anymore for anything other than something to stick my dick into.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk

>>40911440
Good luck bro. I think I’m just planning to not ejaculate at all and do a kind of monk mode lifestyle but to also grind for wealth at the same time. I want to build a successful business.

>>40911472
I mean yeah im at day #63 and SR has drastically improved my productivity as well as energy levels, discipline. So SR is in line with your goals. I want to go on vacation to Medellin and Buenos Aires next year and I want to break my streak inside of some paisa whores. Im taking zinc supplements every day so when I bust im going to brown super crazy ropes all over them h0ez

every time i get around 2 weeks in I get a shit load of anxiety 24/7 until i jack off, does this go away on its own eventually?

>>40911577

My mom put coffee in my bottle of milk when I was a baby and I've loved it ever since. Black coffee no sugar every. single. day. since as long as I can remember. I enjoy the fresh aroma of brewing coffee I enjoy the *blub* *blub* *blub* noise the coffee pot makes while brewing. The caffeine buzz is great too. If I go to a nice cafe or restaurant I will always get a cappuccino if they have them. I just like coffee simple as. Dark chocolate is tasty as well. I am new to /SRG/ (day 32) and haven't seen coffee hate posts until this thread so I will admit I had no idea about coffee AkShuAllY being le bad for you was a thing I always thought it was good for your metabolism and that was about it. I want the most benefits out of retaining as possible but the thought of giving up coffee makes me sad:( Perhaps on day 60 I will cut back on my caffeine consumption and maybe by day 90 quit caffeine all together and see how it goes. I will drink coffee tomorrow and I will drink coffee again in the future but I am open to the idea of experimenting with coffee abstinence soon.

>not having a soulmate partner
I'm same age as you, married with 2 kids. Just telling you honestly, a woman can NEVER be your soulmate partner outside of your imagination. Women are on a different level of consciousness. The reward for a virgin tradwife is lots of hard work, with no relief from the pressure to perform. Don't get any FOMO about soulmates because they really don't exist.

Discuss esoteric benefits you have experienced. Who gives a fuck about coffee this is the paranormal board not fit.

>>40910966
Most of what you said is pretty fucking retarded. Your testosterone levels and subsequent dht levels will be dramatically higher while retaining even if cooming causes a slight spike. The culprit of hair loss by means of cooming would probably be more linked to the loss of nutrients from cooming and taxative effect of producing more semen.

>>40911828
In the modern zog 35 bmi world, fitness is paranormal

>>40911783
Thanks, I agree and wanted to respond with the same thoughts on the “soulmate” psyop and I think its bullshit/disney/chick shit. But I dont know, I am just speaking from my experience and didn’t want to burst anon’s hopes and dreams. I dont believe in it and I have never heard any of my friends refer to their wives of girlfriends as their “soulmate” I dont know if that term soulmate has its origins in religion, I feel like its some 20th century term {{{hollywood writers}}} made up.

>>40911839
It's not a "slight spike", it's a ginormous spike. Semen retention in itself doesn't "raise" testosterone AT ALL, all it does is make the androgen receptors more sensitive.
>It's the nutrients bro
Dumbass. Why do you think they give finasteride to balding men? Because it nukes your androgen receptors COMPLETELY, basically nullifying DHT entirely. Aggressive norwood is a result of having hair follicles sensitive to DHT + continuously spiking your DHT and prolactin through cooming.

>>40911727
Not cumming at all will be our salvation you stupid fuck.

>>40911984
Again pretty much wrong on all accounts. The increase in testosterone during ejaculation is pretty slight, like ten percent. And yes your testosterone levels do go up while retaining. Your whole hypothesis about “the spike” causing an increase dht is absurd. The spike is momentary and like I said quite slight, like ten percent or so. The chance of it increasing dht is nonexistent.

I’m sure this question gets asked all the time but I’m 3 days into SR. I often get opportunities through work to fuck (bartender) can I? Or do I need to avoid all sex and cooming and just be celibate monk man. Or am I just trying to avoid porn and jerking?

In men at least, isn't a sexual activity linked to productivity and creativity? I feel like the semen retention is a PsyOp. But I mean, the dead internet theory has been around since 2016. If it's dead, why are they still trying?

>>40911739
There's another version of it where the years have been changed, a "hopecore" version if you will, where the waifu bots are only 2 decades away. Hopefully someone finds it

day 22. gonna see how long i can go. when is the magnetism supposed to start again? i'll let you boys know how it goes.

>>40911719
nice post and based apu
i like how 50% of the tread is about coffe
the rest of the tread is just disgusting dick talk.

What happens after 12 years of SR?

>>40912066
>increase in testosterone during ejaculation is pretty slight, like ten percent
Much larger than that, and this effect compounds over the years.
>And yes your testosterone levels do go up while retaining
Your fucking T levels mean absolutely fuck all if your androgen receptors aren't sensitive to it. T levels go down after 7 days of SR for a fucking reason. Dumbass. This statement alone shows you don't understand hormones at all.
>Your whole hypothesis about “the spike” causing an increase dht is absurd.
Much better than muh nutrient theory that a 12 year old could have come up with it.
>The chance of it increasing dht is nonexistent.
Why do retainers report their balding slowing down then? Because the marginal nutrients you lose while cooming to your scalp? Is that your fucking theory? Alright man. You wasted my time. Congrats.

>>40912110
I often wonder this too, and it has me questioning the whole energy exchange aspect of this and more. My assumption is that cooming by yourself is inherently bad, unless done in a very specific and particular way, otherwise you're just ejecting your energy into the void, like stabbing yourself and letting a bunch of blood out. Or worse, you could be giving it to some form of entity or malicious spirit (succubus for example) that not only drains you, but will subsequently latch onto you and farm you. But is it completely different if you're with your partner or soulmate? As then you're kind of both exchanging each other's energy, melding it together. Like when you're kissing for example, you're exchanging your saliva, the same could be said about your energy. So assuming the exchange isn't swayed or one sided it should ultimately even out. This has led me to the conclusion that it's not about the cooming itself, but rather HOW you coom, and who you coom with that matters. This concerns me, as we all know there is a dark force destroying society and traditional relationships at the moment, making it almost impossible to find a partner to do this with. This makes me believe that this is all by design, and it is almost certainty done on purpose to ruin and corrupt us, and most importantly, isolate and divide us. Keeping your energy safe and guarded is always good, but I feel that's almost what they want us to do. Like, they want us all locked away in our own bubble and never interacting with anyone, like we're a threat to them if we're somehow not. Something very important is being denied and kept away from us.

Probably Jews, I'd say

>>40912110
When I break my streaks its always with a girl that I would start a relationship with. I avoid flings unless she's a 10/10.

>>40912300
Again wrong on all accounts.
>>Much larger than that, and this effect compounds over the years.

No it isn’t larger than that and no it doesn’t compound. Are you fucking retarded? In what way would it compound?
>>Your fucking T levels mean absolutely fuck all if your androgen receptors aren't sensitive to it. T levels go down after 7 days of SR for a fucking reason. Dumbass. This statement alone shows you don't understand hormones at all.

Your test levels can go up while simultaneously increasing androgen sensitivity. It’s been proven time and time again that t levels dramatically increase while retaining. You clearly don’t have any clue of what you’re talking about.
>>Much better than muh nutrient theory that a 12 year old could have come up with it.

Your hypothesis is absolutely retarded and has 0 validity or grounding in reality. At least my theory makes logical sense. Your theory is so fucking brain dead and so devoid of any logical sense that even a 12 year old would think that you’re dumber than sack of shit.

>tfw constant brain fog, irritability, and fatigue on day 2
I swear it wasn’t this bad when I was 20 and gooned out for hours on the daily. I should not be in my thirties and feel a strong urge to crawl back into bed just 6 hours after waking for the day. God help me for my lifetime of foolishness. I am repulsed that ~20 years of porn consumption have turned me into a shadow of a man. I pray it can truly be undone but I’m not confident it can. Best I seem to do is sixty days and that was when I had to leave the house to work. This year has been particularly difficult for SR. Biggest motivation for me is fear of never truly growing beyond being ruled by my lust. Do I want to be 40 and still blowing loads to pixels on a screen? 50? 60? Porn is as bad as any opiate. Worse even. It robs you of your ambition. It siphons your masculine drive. Just existing becomes permissible. It’s the most destructive numbing agent for a man out there. I don’t want to betray myself again but I know the temptation will present itself in time. Just like last time when I hit sixty days and a beautiful woman stumbled into my life. Satan sends his Jezebels. Be wary, frens.

Just want to let you know Satan you gay hell dwelling fucking retard that you will never be able to get me to stop retaining you fucking pussy no succubus no jezebel nothing you can throw at me will make me give in.

>>40912289
If you go for that long you'll become a "missing person"

It doesn't have to be exactly 12 years. However it does usually occur somewhere between the 10-13 year mark. Very few have ever accomplished this though.

not ejaculating regularly makes my urgency to urinate a problem, one which doesn't seem to be present when i do ejaculate regularly

60 year old men getting 18 year olds to marry them happens all the time.

bro, this is 4chan. these people spend all day every day telling themselves and each other that it's over. they spend all day spewing the most distorted blackpill views on women and life in general. all women are whores, you'll never find a good one unless you're rich, all my married friends are miserable, info graphics, statistics, yadda yadda yadda. it's exhausting, and they have it down to a science. don't waste your time on them.

>>40909285 (OP)
I'm sorta at the point where everyone at my jobs seems to hate me or distance themselves, men and women. Men secretly jealous of vitality(?) and women irritated I'm not acting like a simp and stopping everything I'm doing to talk to them(?) ... I'm not even bitter towards them, I smile their way, act like nothing happens, and always try to give them the benefit of the doubt, obviously the world doesn't revolve around me, forgive and forget blah blah blah. When I shut up and keep to myself still no one talks to me, I can go all day barely saying a word to anyone.

Idk anons it's pretty isolating. Is the juice worth the squeeze on this? EVERYONE doesn't like me, and I'm not supposed to be jaded and feel like they're all out to get me? please talk some sense to me anons it really doesn't make any sense

Anyone have any advice on how to really stop counting the days. I hear this a lot and every time I track the days it feels like it works against me, making it harder to resist it and also making the days go by slower. The benefits of counting the days dont outweigh the positives for me

Some anons here can just turn it off in their brain and not count the days just like that, but I can’t. My brain just automatically knows what exact day Im on by default. Is anyone else like me and is there any way I can turn this part of my brain off and just not count the days?

>>40913444
They all have egos, and can sense that you're better than them. OBJECTIVELY better than them, not just you thinking you're better than them. It all stems from jealousy and spite, they are simply vibrating at the lowest of frequencies and you are not, that's all it is. If they see someone who is higher than them they'll want to drag them down however possible, that way they stop feeling shit about themselves because you're in the pit with them. Seeing others acting this way towards you is unironically a good sign that you're on the right path, as strange as it sounds.

If you find an opportunity to humble them in some way then do it, it may even help them climb with you. If you remind these people of their place then they will either sink lower, or be disgusted by it and want to escape it, just like you. tl;dr keep being positive, even in the face of negativity

>>40913474
I wish I could say that the positivity would have an effect on them, but I can't remember how I got here. I do remember that this place has helped me.

>>40913436
hmm... my gf came over out of the blue... you think maybe it's related? maybe it isn't your fault. Or did somebody manipulate her to come over ala enkidu? If so, how can I free her?

>>40913474
Perfect response.

>>40913496
>I wish I could say that the positivity would have an effect on them
You'd be surprised, some people are not as much of a lost cause as you might think. I'm a bit of a hypocrite for saying this, as I am notoriously known for instantly giving up faith on people, but recently I've been trying to fix that. Even if it doesn't help them, it's still beneficial to be positive, as it will just push those negative people even further away from you (which is what you want). It's all part of the ascension, cutting ties with the bad and lifting yourself up with the good.

Will a moderate regimen of retention help with mild ED symptoms? My dick still works fine but often only gets 90% hard. Will things improve if I start resting the ol’ boy more? I’m thinking I’ll start with a week at a time. Thoughts?

>>40913474
While I appreciate your perspective; I really do try to restrain myself from assuming jealousy or any thoughts of being objectively better than.. i feel it's all inherently toxic. I'm really really trying to do the benefit of the doubt thing. I take it, they're all okay, I'm ok, everyone is in their own little bubble, I'm doing this weird thing called SEMEN RETENTION, we're all atomized, and I must have some blind spot, something that rubs some people the wrong way that I'm unable to take inquiry of. idk.

>>40913510
This is where you start going out of your way to deliberately take a chance and risk annoying people and just being yourself regardless of the outcome(?)

>>40913521
Annoying people for being yourself is just collateral damage. Being yourself should always come first, if those people don't like it then they can fuck right off. As long as you're not being obnoxious about it and shoving it in their face. Gravitate towards who YOU want to be, not want society or someone else wants you to be.

I hope you all get raped and killed

Do you guys think female attention is a strong motivator as long as it’s not your primary drive and reason for doing SR? Girl I’ve known for years sent me a cleavage pic earlier. I felt like my brain was screaming for porn before then but now it has calmed. Is this just a smaller dopamine hit or is energy exchange from a woman sincerely a good sign? It snapped me out of pornbrain completely. I think I’ve been so stuck on porn loops that receiving even some attention from a woman snaps me back on the strait and narrow path.

>>40913513
>I really do try to restrain myself from assuming jealousy or any thoughts of being objectively better than.. i feel it's all inherently toxic.
Well the difference is whether of not you're assuming. Refusing to partake in something is factual, and the resulting reaction that people have to your refusal to partake in said activity is also factual. You're not really assuming that they're feeling that way, as much as you are observing it, if that makes sense. What I mean is that if they can sense you're putting yourself above their degenerate behaviour by refusing to indulge in it with them, and they start being resentful towards you, then that's not assuming they're being resentful/jealous, they just are. YOU'RE the one who did that to them (not implying that's your fault), so the control is in your hands if you think about it.

I'm missing the context, but at first glance this could be seen as attention fishing and possibly looking to drain your energy. She could be sex starved and is looking for her next victim to drain, if she is looking for a casual relationship (just a fuckbuddy) this would be an even bigger red flag. Fuckbuddies are energy drainers, just like succubus. That's why the only real relationship you can have with a woman without it being energy draining is a trad one, which is basically impossible these days.

Whenever I relapse, it's not because of porn or even lustful thoughts. It's because i get this cosmic hardon at some point in the morning. The kind that feels like the nerf-covered handle of an aluminum baseball bat.

AI OVERVIEW
{
In Buddhism, stream entry (Sotapanna) is the first of the four stages of enlightenment. It signifies a profound shift in understanding, marking the beginning of one's journey towards liberation. This stage is characterized by the overcoming of the first three "fetters" that bind beings to the cycle of suffering.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

Overcoming the Fetters:
Stream entry involves the eradication of three fetters:

Self-view: The belief in a permanent, separate self.

Doubt: Uncertainty or skepticism about the Buddha, the Dhamma (teachings), and the Sangha (community).
Clinging to rites and rituals: Believing that external practices alone can lead to liberation.

Confidence and Trust:
Stream-enterers have unwavering confidence in the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha. They understand and trust the path to liberation.
Non-Regression:
Stream entry is considered irreversible. Once someone attains this stage, they are guaranteed to achieve full enlightenment within a limited number of lifetimes and will not be reborn into lower realms of suffering.
Not a Fixed Stage:
While a significant milestone, stream entry is not a static endpoint. It's a process of deepening understanding and dedication to the Dhamma.
Not Necessarily Monastic:
Stream entry is accessible to all, including lay practitioners, and does not require renouncing worldly life.
Psychological Perspective:
Stream entry involves a restructuring of one's understanding of self and a deep acceptance of the Buddhist path.
Deeper Insights:
In some traditions, stream entry is associated with a glimpse of Nibbana (Nirvana), the ultimate goal of Buddhism, leading to a profound shift in one's perception of reality.

I'm not your /b/ro, retard

As soon as I reach day 30 I relapse. Major triggers are stepping out of the home, seeing couples, girls while travelling and in college especially & then I become totally hopeless because I've been doing so much to self improve. Studying, meditating, eating healthy etc. What to do bro's? Recently relapsed upon day 30 and have been fapping daily since then

>>40913992
But why are you wanking?

>>40913992
I don’t get it why does going outside trigger you? My advice is try your best to not let seeing people trigger you. Possibly talk to a therapist if the problem is that deep

Just took the dog for a walk through a relatively busy area. It's beautiful sunny weather recently and many roasties are out in their thottiest, revealing, attention whoring outfits. Whenever I felt my gaze drawn by their vulgar displays I purposefully kept my eyes forward and refused to allow the smallest bit of my attention go towards them. Instead I kept watch for every other woman who was dressed modestly, old or young, purposefully caught eye contact with them and I gave my warmest, most loving smiles each time. They all smiled back. I'm doing my small part with these anti-thot measures, what are you doing for the war effort, anons?

around 2 months now and i don't think i'll be able to carry on for much longer. the vigor is unparalleled but the raging hot ball of incessant horniness in my crotch is becoming impossible to handle... got 1 week until i leave my part time job and then i'm painting myself snow white
worst part is that it doesn't matter how much i keep myself occupied throughout the day when the night comes... all day i'll be out and about doing shit and feeling my best but my libido is beyond skyhigh. maybe it was just never meant to be. though i will try to limit myself to once a week. sorry if this comes across as demoralizing, i wholeheartedly suggest to everyone to keep going if they can. i'm just too weak

Bros... Idk what's going on, i need help, i need prayer and i need you to send words of encouragement. Last year around July i began what would be my longest streak ever, reaching about 6 months or so. In January i relapsed cause i smoked weed again and did that on and off, and have only been getting like 7 day to 10 day streaks with frequent binging in between. Im not smoking weed anymore and have been off it since may, but now i am trying to quit coffee/caffeine because i know that is definitely a huge trigger. So, i am now going to start tappering off coffee, im not going to go above 3 cups today, tomorrow two, etc. Welp wish me luck. I felt really amazing on my longest streak and want to get that feeling back.

>>40913100

Same as above, also helps with ED.

>>40912311
By this logic even if you're doing it with your partner but if you cummed outside, that's redirecting your energy elsewhere. So you have to cum inside her without anything blocking it such as condom for energy transfer requirement. That means sex is only for procreation.

>>40911984
leave shilll

>>40914255
Well that depends, is the cum getting shot out into nothing, or is it being shot out onto her, or in her mouth etc, because then that would certainty change the dynamic of the energy sharing, but I think it would still ultimately be the same as shooting inside. This is all assuming the cum itself contains the energy, and it's not the buildup itself which contains the majority of energy transfer, with the cumshot being something that just happens at the end of it.

Here an interesting thought, would her driving you to orgasm count as her giving you energy, even if you were the one who came? I personally think so, if you think of her using her vagina to drive you to orgasm (sounds retarded when you say it like that) she's basically giving you her energy when you think about it. Like if you're lying down motionless and she's just going to town on you, she's the one actually giving her energy to you, since she's the one moving. So even though you'd cum inside, in this scenario she probably ended up giving you more energy than you did to her

If you didn't indirectly brought it forward by binging porn, edging, or some other shit gooners come up with to cope, pay no attention to it, it was a natural, avoiding drinking liquids at night specially junk ones plus emptying your bladder well before going to sleep goes a long way in avoiding wet dreams.

How much of the decline of men in society due to porn addiction? I'm on day 28 and I feel more energized than ever and want to make concrete plans for things that were formerly only inclinations. Did PMO destroy men's ability to dream and to dare?

Mixed-race antifa drug addict with herpes.

>>40914952
Huh? They're just sparkling water, non-sugar sweeteners, vitamins, taurine and caffeine. Unironically less unhealthy than coke (the drink)
How are you even comparing that to weed + alcohol + cigarettes

Antifa isn't a thing, chud

>>40914785
>but I'd say about 3 years in I realized I'm not ever getting reciprocal unconditional love back from a woman
I think the only people women can give that kind of love to might be charismatic cult leader sorts. Devotion isn't a thing that is reasoned into but stirred up, in order for people to be truly bound together for a lifetime they both have to be a bit insane.

Also you don’t have friends here nobody even knows your name dude friends are people you can call up irl and hang out with or call if you get into trouble. If you’ve never had a friend then do SOMETHING and talk to someone and make a friend somewhere, you have nothing to lose

>>40915146
I don't really mind having no friends, I actually don't want any lasting friendships at all I prefer talking/doing stuff with people and then when we're done be completely forgotten. The only thing I really want is to find love. I know I won't get it by not talking to girls that's why I'm here trying to quit being a coomer because I read it'll increase confidence and get rid of my anxiety and social retardation.

How much of that “information” (it’s actually diarrhea) goes in one ear and out the other? How much of it do you employ to improve your situation or work toward your goals? How does any of it help you?
I was where you are a few years ago and decided to stop aimlessly drifting about on the computer to assuage my boredom. First I started by not ever doing it when I was bored, then I stopped listening to podcasts/videos in the background when I do chores/eat, now I only use the internet for specific things like research or shopping, but it’s never my “thing to do” outside of that now. Internet addiction is actually strikingly similar to porn addiction the more you think about it. Whenever you have 5 unoccupied seconds, you grab your phone and look at some stupid shit. We only do it so we don’t have to reflect and examine.

>>40915051
What happened??

>>40915183
>I don't really mind having no friends
Ok well the first thing you said when you were advised to leave this website was
>I can't imagine leaving this site for good this is the only place where I have friends
so that’s why I said you need to get over that and make real friends. If there’s no obstacle to you leaving the doomer threads then that is my advice to you, it sounds like you’ve engaged their ideas for long enough and whatever knowledge there is to gain from entertaining their perspective is surely already known to you

>>40915272
I lost on day 16 and have been struggling since then.

well, i have a weird case of porn addiction that includes downloading so many videos then keeping them in a folder without watching them, and if i watched them, i skip through the scenes, i find specific shots arousing but most of the video ends up forgotten then deleted afterwards and the cycle continues.
i have a job online so i just download my porn in the background, consuming so much data, for nothing.
i end up fantasizing about some hot actress in some scenario in my head and jerking off to it.

this habit of downloading porn became less and less now, as i'm too busy, but my mind always turned on by any passing idea, turning it sexual.
i have the dertiest mind actually, i can be a porn director lol.

I'm trying and i've tried to abstain from masturbation, succeeded in this for days but fallen back again into the habit.
i'm trying to do it now seriously, to abstain entirely, cause of weird shit happening in the world, gotta be prepared, but i end up falling again.
my conclusion is: the god/source or whatever, don't care if you did it or not, you want to get back to him, you'll do eventually, so i guess we're overthinking shit...

>>40915285
I don't go on doomer threads I just kinda go on schizo threads and on /vg/

I am on day 5

The scariest thing is not dealing with the urges to masturbate watching hsrdcore vile stuff.

No, the sa riest thing is that I feel nothing was changed. I have no clarity, no energy boost, no atraction from females for me, no hyperfocus mode, nothing.

>>40915222
checked, thanks, i have toned down my usage 80%, but there are times where i waste a full day if something bothers or upsets me, i guess i have to apply the same tactics that I use for SR, thankfully I never consumed absolute slop, I was always interested in psychology, spirituality, death, NDEs, psychedelics and conspiracies, I have started reading books now, they are better, even an author who has written a great book sounds like midwit when they are in youtube videos or podcasts, idk why, also i learn so much more and retain better when I read books

Thank you, I had an anger outburst this morning when I thought my laptop had died but it was just the power outlet that was loose. I guess that counts unless you mean "anger" in the sense of focusing my anger in positive things like exercise or good habits.

>>40915408
I guess you are right, I am being impatient. It's just that I am easy to be discouraged when I try something related to my health and that stings. But I won't relapse soon.

>thankfully I never consumed absolute slop, I was always interested in psychology, spirituality, death, NDEs, psychedelics and conspiracies
Yea that’s the line that’s tough to draw when you decide to voluntarily restrict your own internet usage- how interested in this am I really, is this actually helping me, do I need to be watching this- I still find myself wandering into shit I don’t NEED to be consuming just because I’m bored. The parallel to jerking off is clear in my mind, the only distinction is that this is not sexual. I also went through a phase where I started reading a lot, like hours a day, and now I’m moving on from even that and just meditating. I would rather suffer boredom in thoughtful contemplation than numb my mind with empty “pleasure”. I don’t miss wasting my time on the internet, it does nothing for me

I have been trying to wean off of porn by listening to audio only, and when I do masturbate I force myself to do it with imagination or to non-nude. Usually just a video of a random girl on instagram. Either way, it seems like it's helping. My brain feels better at least. My highest streak is 9 days, and it was because I went on a date with someone and was excited about it.

For me, it's the porn I'm addicted to. If it weren't for it I would have no problems.

>>40914961
look how fast a good chunk of people became sensitive pussies/faggots/trannies/bleeding heart leftists that sperg out everytime someone tells them to not bend over since 2010, and how metoric the downfall got between 2012-14, you'd think they were all hiding in the bushes waiting to come out at the exact moment after millenias of humanity from how many popped out, but no, those people were just mangling their brains with high speed pornography, specifically through cellphones.
them usual suspects have been pushing this shit since the beginning of time yet it got really, really mental worldwide only in the last 15 years, it has to be close to 95%

>>40914815
>has anyone overcame their smartphones addiction?
sure thing, easy asf.
uninstall ALL social media apps>>>power button off.
>I have stopped PMO but this one seems tougher
bollocks, and you are addicted to the dopamine rush social media gives you, which is high but nowhere near as bad as PMO

>>40913992
>Major triggers are stepping out of the home, seeing couples, girls while travelling and in college especially
>Major triggers are social anxiety, feeling lonely, putting too much value in women and relationships, unconsciously displacing porn situations and images to real life.
Of course I might be wrong, point being though, triggers do no have to be sexual, you need to spend time discovering what's up with yourself and from there work on deactivating triggers. It's hard work and takes time, yes.

Just to give you a personal example, some years ago every single time I interacted with a particular someone I immediately took it to masturbation as escapism. I had to look in the mirror with all the honesty I could muster until I could start to realize, it was not a particular someone, it was a particular kind of someone, one that reminded me of other situations and experiences in the past, such things made me incredibly frustrated at myself and life, so, feelings of frustration were that particular trigger.
See? Only then when I knew what was up I could start working on abating those feelings of frustration, inside me, because that is the only place you can change bro, not the world outside.
>What to do bro's? Recently relapsed upon day 30 and have been fapping daily since then
Nothing else to do but starting over again and over again man, if you really want it that's just the way it is.

>>40915449
>For me, it's the porn I'm addicted to. If it weren't for it I would have no problems.
Ok it's time to bring in the porn posts the OP insists in leaving out.

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.

2 more week science shit.

If prolactin is elevated for two weeks, how can you still get an erection during that time?

If it's only slightly elevated afterward, why is that a problem? If it's at the same level your body naturally produces when you sleep...
how can you see the difference

How does your study work?

>>40914744
It’s actually easy as fuck faggot.

Sr is really more of an accelerant I’d say, in regards to spirituality. If you don’t practice esoteric or spiritual practices then you probably won’t obtain esoteric or spiritual gifts.

Fell again after a week. I feel so worthless, pretty sure the demons/energy parasites are laughing at me right now. I turned back to God immediately, prayed and asked for forgiveness and help but I feel like I am abusing grace at this point considering how I am not improving.
Can any Christian anons relate?

bross i am in such a weird boat right now. My streak started from 24 july so it's been 51 days of noporn and nofap BUT on 5th August idk how but i woke up with a puddle of cum in the morning (i can tell my dick wasn't even erect so this was different from any previous nightfall). So now even though it's my 51st day of not touching dick it feels like it's just 10 days. At the same time i feel like shit mentally. I even thought of watching porn so visited a site but I didn't even feel like it, it doesn't excite me, not that my libido is gone because i do get erection when i see someone outside and start imagining stuff(have to stop immediately don't wanna build a chain of thoughts). I even try to think about degen porn stuff that used to excite me but i feel nothing inside. This has happened to me few times in the past short lived streak and i had to force myself and got the excitement back and I don't want to do this again. i want to break my streak but in the inside i don't have interest in porn but i feel so shit i want to feel that excitement again.

Wet dreams. There are a lot of tests in this journey, that people have experienced for thousands of years. When you get a wet dream it can be because of many things, eating too much food, drinking too much water, thinking lustfully.

You can eventually control wet dreams inside the dreams themselves though it's difficult.

The answer is to keep going, usually what happens is you'll get a wet dream your first month in retaining, then again in 1.5 months, then it spreads out longer over time until your body starts understanding you are retaining.

Keep going

>>40916519
In the past I would get a wet dream around 10-15 days if not in this range then by 20-25th but this time i got it on 41st day. There was so dream this time I don't remember anything.
>You can eventually control wet dreams inside
i actually did that a year ago. In my dream I stopped myself from pressing the girl's boobies. I was conscious that I don't want to do this but since then i have relapsed and had multiple dreams where I give in to the girl's temptation in the dream and have no control over myself

>>40916554
You'll be fine, less than 5% of an ejaculation is sperm anyways, you usually get the feelings back within a week, for you maybe 2 weeks, maybe 3.

If you relapse it's over if you have a wet dream it's a slight backstep instead of going back to the begginning

Caffeine causes wet dreams.
Caffeine is a diuretic, that means it flushes fluids out of your body (including semen)

No caffeine = no wet dreams

>>40915823
Scared of trannies, are you fucking stupid?

>>40916081
Fasting, prayer, meditation, earthing, getting sunlight everyday, sun gazing, breath work.

Agree with all of these >>40916682
Also add being sober & NoCaffeine. You have to mute your material senses if you want to connect to your soul / source / God / Supreme consciousness whatever you want to call it, because those things are subtle and you don't experience them as much if your material life is dominating.

I don't get, one look while my guard was down was all it took. It's like I just change completely once lust takes over, I fucking hate this shit. I hate that I've been addicted to this shit since I was a kid and that I'm actually fucking brain damaged as a result of it.
I'm beginning to think that I'll never be able to free myself from the yoke of lust, it's just a fight that I cannot win no matter what and it fucking sucks.

>>40916799
I actually identify as right, so that means you’re wrong. So how about you get off x and go gargle tranny cum.

bros sometimes it feels like im about to piss by accident
like the tip burns for a second

is this something to do with the buildup? its happening even like 30 minutes after taking a leak

2 weeks so far its going well

From the moment of cooming, how long does it take for the first sign of superpowers to appear?

>>40916807
Sometimes I think about how alcoholics can't have a sip of beer or a degenerate gambler can't watch sports because if they do their lives will inevitably go off the rails. We all have our crosses to bear- some people can't look at porn. People with addictive personalities are usually more interesting and often have some hidden superpower anyway.

Hey fellas. I"m back and I would like to help you all retain your semens.
I will save it all your semens in my hot tight man hole.
It doesn't cound if you bust your thick white loads in a dude butt, right? Only if you put it in a womens virgina, right?
So I will bend over and you can pump it into my man ass bung hole. Okay?
What do you say, fellow dudes?

Do the effects begin to get noticeable around the fifth day?
My best record is ten 10 days. On day 3, I'd say I'd start to feel a little sharper, definitely less groggy, but around day 5 is when the horniness really starts to kick in, and I can never seem to get past that. Any suggestions?

>>40916876
Hell yeah dude, we can all retain are semen in this dudes fucking hella sexy butthole. I call first.

>>40916830
Whenever I see posts like this describing some weird physiological anomaly that presents after one stops constantly jerking off I wonder- are you edging or peeking at porn? Do you get boners and just kind of nurse them while thinking horny thoughts lol? Because when I used to do that, weird shit would happen like you're describing. I would sometimes piss out like a teaspoon of weird jellied cum very slowly. It makes for a good hors d'oeuvre. Stop looking at porn and stop edging. If it's still happening, you might be getting boners in your sleep.

>>40916831
the second you stop being impatient is the second you will gain your new powers

>>40916894
i can be 100% with you, I havent peeked or edged
at most nursing my dick in the morning after waking up 1 time around the week mark when I was hornier than ever before

Its not like this is constant its just kind of random through my day
I have basically 0 sexual thoughts now and porn/fucking my hand repulses me and I'm having no issues maintaining that side of things

>>40916890
Fuckin-A right you will, dudes! I will bend over and take it like a man ffr the team! Right in my ban hole. You all can retain your semens in my bunghole dudes! That way your semen can be retained and you can still get all the benefits because I am a dude just like all of you. I will be your back door butt bud. Heck yeah!

>>40915828
does prolacin is more high from sleep and stress for 2-3 week after cum?? is what you try to say ??

cause im just not sure..maybe prolacin is causing the flatline cause stress increase after a weeks of retaining.. but idk the body do so many things ist hard to follow ..
