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)...

>anecdotal evidence on SR:
https://imgur.com/a/nofap-anecdotal-evidence-g4eGH

>In case of urges:

- 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)

>>40980703
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).

Day 16 and ive gotten bored of fapping. Im not in a good place mentally which makes me have urges but I just dont do them because I know that shit wont make me feel better, it’ll only make things worse. Im not even able to get that 3 seconds of pleasure afterwards anymore cause the moment I bust I just feel immediate shame and regret. It doesnt solve anything and i dont wanna do it anymore. Its not really appealing i guess

magnetism is starting to be kicking in i guess, today my friends were really excited to see me even though it was a normal day and yesterday some girl started a full conversation with me for no reason which literally never happens.

the nigger troll bread baker is now:
1. Literally rushing to make a new thread before the old one hits even 315 messages, effectively splitting the conversation
2. Including less and less of the original OP that had to be spread, from 5-7 posts it's now 3
3. Keeps leaving the sacred PSA out
4. Is still a fag

I am OP and I made a new thread because once a thread on /x/ gets to 300 replies it’s reached it’s bump limit. Every other repeating threads I’ve followed on 4chan, the new thread is posted once the previous one reaches the bump limit. Yeah it splits up the conversation and that’s an issue but I am just doing what I have seen done for previous threads. As for the missing information in the OP posts, I didn’t know there was information missing. I have replaced a link that was broken and I thing the OP posts are pretty long winded and should be edited. If you have links or info that you feel should be included I will save them and post them in the future. Im really not trying to be annoying im just trying to keep the topic going on /X/.

not retaining makes me be scared like a little faggot of giving my opinions in public

>>40980698 (OP)
i like to release my semen and use it in my magick rituals

OP did nothing wrong.

>>40981392
shut the fuck up you niggerfagget. you trannies that whine about a new general being started cause the old one isn't at LE BUMP LIMIT are gayer than two hairy fat dudes buttfucking each other while making eye contact and sniffing their cumfarts. OH NO THE PREVIOUS GENERAL STILL HAS 2.481 MORE POSTS BEFORE IT REACHES BUMP LIMIT OH FUCK DON'T START A NEW ONE YET OH GOD fucking kys

You’re not yourself when you’re hungry.

I feel like I was visited by a succubus during my sleep.
I was having trouble sleeping, and then I kind of saw a dream within a dream with a figure of a woman floating above me. The details of the dream are hazy, I think I was exploring my school (from >10 years ago) with a freind(s?). And in one of the rooms the figure hovered over me and settled, I woke up from the inner dream and was in my room, and I saw my sister outside my room (which I realized later was impossible since she wasnt at home), and then I felt a female figure from under the bed.
I furiously chanted some mantras, even if I forgot some words at first, and even smiled anime style.
Not to mention I've been on streaks of nofap and while this one was longer than usual, I was still looking at porn and masturbating (but not cumming).

This general never changes and I like it. It's like a constant stream of water.

Remember: Testicle Breathing! Your doctor hates it. Less prostates for him to fondle.
Don't know? Find out and get your wet dreams and urges under control.

>>40981392
Oldfagbaker here, I was the OG in whining like a bitch to keep the sacred 7. Either you take the wheel or you hope they learn. (This guy didn't learn).

Some thoughts I've gathered about this. Curious as to other Anons views:

> benefits are likely due to the fact that nutrients consumed via food get to be used elsewhere (namely the brain) instead of semen production;

> A single relapse, whilst undesirable, demands a significantly smaller effort from the body to replenish semen reserves than the continual draining of chronic masturbation, hence not all progress is lost;

> It's akin to working out where effects take time but do compound;

> It's like trying to drop a heroine/cocaine habit with a dose on your person at all times (your phone);

> Chronic masturbation cannot be healthy for the simple fact that our ancestors (evolutionarily speaking) didn't do it (and had no access to porn), and of the other species who masturbate, none do it to this extent;

> One can maximize probability of success by both seeking the benefits and staying away from the negative post nut feelings;

> I theorize the reason so many of today's adults are baby faced, lack beards and have otherwise unmanly characteristics might be due to the constant testosterone depletion induced by chronic masturbation;

>>40980698 (OP)
I have a serious problem.

You see, I have an addiction to a character called Yukari Yakumo, a blonde Youkai from a franchise I like. And when she appears in my mind she makes me warch porn of her or related characters. My porn addiction could have dryed out if it not were for her.

I think she is a mental parasite of sorts, sporitual demon, succubus, you name it. Please, I want a good, working practical book about how to make a mental and spiritual cleansing. Maybe if it helps with porn addiction better. Something that leans into esoteric/spiritual or has working things to do, not self help unless it is another kind of book that can help with fixations/porn or etc.

>>40980698 (OP)
Alright /X/ I want to try this, but I want to hear some success stories. Has this helped any of you become more productive/active?

>>40980698 (OP)
day 4 or 5, not sure
i stopped but dunno if it was sunday

>>40982479
Apparently the solution to your problem is to go to some place called Hakurei Shrine

>>40982558
What do they do at Hakurei Shrine?

>>40982562
I don't know
anyways, if some character is making you problems, imagining another character to stop the other works most of the time
Just like the whispers of angels and devils

>>40982576
I already told this to some anons in /jp/, but I simply cannot stop thinking about her. Either romantically or sexually, she always comes back, is an addiction.

>>40982479
Be with her in lucid dreams, use it as fuel for the practice. Then when you're done with her, use the practice for more useful things.

>>40980698 (OP)
DAY 6 I HAVE BLUE BALLS IT HURTS SO MUCH I CAN FEEL IT IN MY ABDOMEN. I CANT LOSE THE STREAK THOUGH

>>40982611
Stop watching porn then numbskull

At this moment, I just relapsed. It felt pleasurable in the moment, but I know it was wrong, I inherently just gave in, I feel the tension of wanting to do it but resisting and I dont want to feel the tension, I just want to release it. Again this is inherent to me alone, If I feel an internal stressor I will just naturally be averse to it. Im sorry I just give in every single time it's just what happens.

>>40982938
I just I cant hear it, it's not loud enough, I want to hear a fucking loud booming voice that's so fucking in my face that it's staring into my soul to tell me to fucking stop it but I cant, I really just need it to be screaming fucking screaming at me to just fucking stop and I need it to be so constant and it doesn't even matter if it screams cause i would still do it, I just want it to watch and scream but no one is watching, why is no one watching me why won't anyone look at me, why was i never worth looking at

Daily reminder that if you don't use it, you lose it. If your schizo theories were right about sexual energy, chi ,vril etc. Then men like genghis khan wouldn't exist. There are plenty of chads spilling their seed 24/7 while being energized, meanwhile the SR bros reject life.They look at being high test, high sexdrive, spreading your genes as a bad thing, while they withdraw from everything and some go to such extremities to even avoid eating meat and doing anything that would increase their libido. Do you really want to be a chud monk your entire life?

>>40983061
The problem is masturbation. When you have sex you are sharing energies and making some sort of connection. I would even say that masturbation can help people relax, besides, men like the chads you mentioned usually have a healthy life style. Unless they are the thug type thought

>>40982479
You are over complicating things. Just stop gooning and looking at any types of porn or explicit images, whether it be photos or drawings. The first month will be extremely difficult but you need to power through it. If you relapse try again. It’s simple not easy. You don’t need to perform some elaborate rituals this is just a form of procrastination. SR is simple not easy. Good luck!

>>40982512
I am on day 77 and productive and active, yes I have become WAY MORE social and productive. If you look in the archives you will find many people reporting benefits.

>>40983061
Half-truth. Having a strong libido and fucking all the time is desirable but jerking off by yourself is retarded. And abstinence makes your dick and balls bigger but it's whatever haha. Though there is a whole bunch of chud monks in this general so you're kinda getting to the target audience lol.

>>40983061
Me personally i think if you jerk off too much you can get ED.

>>40983061
jerking off is the main issue though

>>40982512
Day ~900 here, I can attest to the fact that since I've quit fapping I have become way sharper/more energised throughout the day. Plus I feel much more spiritually healthy which gives me a charisma that people have commented on. It's not a fix-all but it certainly helps. Plus I now have way more free time to focus on my hobbies which is needed since I have become much more social since quitting, and that takes up a lot of my time now.

Clock just rolled over to 7 days, first time I've got this far in months. All I've done since April is jack off multiple times a day, sometimes edging for hours. I'm slipping a little though, I've peeked a few times at thots on instagram today. I'm just a bit miserable desu. I've been grinding on a project for months now without any real sense of accomplishment gained. I'm very close to a very real milestone but it's still been an near endless grind for months. I'm longing for a woman to cuddle and kiss, to feel her softness, for her to tell me she wants me. I have a woman that I care about but I barely ever see her due to her commitments. It's not enough. Either way, I know the only reason I'm craving women and porn so much is because I'm seeking the validation and feel good chemicals that come from that, as opposed to getting back on the endless grind. I'll keep going though. I hope.

>>40981613
can you give more details i wanna do some spellz too for the lolz

>>40983061
>Then men like genghis khan wouldn't exist
Genghis Khan wasn't bombarded with plastics,social media and 4K porn. He wasn't fapping like some subhuman covered by his own jizz and sweat.

>There are plenty of chads spilling their seed 24/7 while being energized, meanwhile the SR bros reject life.
>They look at being high test, high sexdrive, spreading your genes as a bad thing, while they withdraw from everything and some go to such extremities to even avoid eating meat and doing anything that would increase their libido.

Cooming is a sedative. It lowers your testosterone and dopamine, this is how men become pussies after a while. SR fixes all this. SR will fix the whole world. These fucking pussies you call "men" nowadays would actually grow some balls and stop acting like babies for once.
>B-b-but chad cooms 6 times a day!!
You are not chad. And even then, if chad practiced SR he would ascend EVEN MORE.

Reminder to become a Catholic and confess your sins to a priest any time you relapse. You will slowly confess less and less often as you sin less often until you completely quit porn/fapping like I did.

>>40983450
NTA but Grant Morrison's tapes are probably what you're looking for. Tried it a while back and nothing happened but it was also for the l0lz

>>40983385
Delete Instagram if only for a weekend of something. It's too easy to go for instant dopamine hits by scrolling, and what is your algorithm going to be filled with if you've been looking at this? Even more thots. This is by design anon. Resist it.

>>40983532
*Or something not of something

>>40983061
guess I'll stop pissing too.

>>40983061
post nose, bait faggot

>>40981392
LEAVE OP ALONE!!

When I get to a week of nofap it is very clear that my spirit is breaking free, but it all collapses in a single moment of weakness. every. damn. time.

>>40982478
> benefit is from you not being a retard ..you can do sr and fasting (no nutriment) and still feells good.

> the first relaps feells like shit cause you dont even need to be hard to cum a lot.. the same and guilt is bigger + is feel bad .. 0 dopamine effect..cause more depression after. so the body feels like shit and its bad.

> you need to workout ever day no matter how you feellss

> you dont need phone to live just turn it off.

> our ancestors are watching and protect you.. but they leave if you goon.

> idk

> yeah also plastic and soap and blue light.. if you fap you T production is shut down for 2-3 hours.. if you do it multiple time a day.. you dont produce T at all .. also T is made during sleep.. and if you jerk off right before it bad

>>40982611
you have to much blood in you ball cause you thinking about sex..

Day 26. Think i'm in a flatline. I've got all the usual benefits such as increased social ability, emotional resiliance, attraction, clarity of speech and thought, etc... but i'm also utterly drained all day long. I'm so exhausted I've got giant dark rings around my eyes and all I want to do all day is sleep, sleep, sleep. Wtf is going on?

>>40983985
Is it possible you've just hit the bottom of cold turkey and the only way from here is up? The night is always darkest before the dawn kinda thing.

>>40984026
Also same anon I forgot to add, are you exercising and drinking plenty of water?

>>40983493
This is a truth nuke. I hate confessing so much that it is probably 90% of why I’m able to resist the coom demon.

>>40983385
> And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.
Delete instagram. Cut off whatever causes you to sin. Enough with this half assed bs “oh i wanna stop doing this but im gonna continue to put myself in situations where i know im gonna give in”

>>40984074
This is the way. You think those e-thots don't know exactly what they are doing when they appear in your algorithm? Their goal is to make you subscribe to their onlyfans. They know they've got hundreds of mindless coomers jerking to them, it's a form of power for these women to be worshipped like that. They'll drain your wallet and your soul.

Haven't been tracking but I know I'm around day 20. Feel pretty much the same.
Noticed i've been performing better in an athletic activity i participate in. Better reaction time and decision making.
I used to be terribly indecisive and would freeze up.

I broke the streak at day 4. But I noticed something that I hadn't before. It always felt like day 3/4 was always the hardest for me. I think this is a result of naturally increasing testosterone after 3-ish days. I don't have raw data but I definitely felt different today during the day, like I had energy.
So starting on day 3/4, I need to up the exercise, because that's going to help tremendously.
I've quit porn but masturbation is still keeping up. I don't think there's a one quick fix for this but I hope I find it.

Day 67 here.
I am experiencing what is like a "dream creep" where random dreams from the last 4 years or so are creeping back into my memory. Like flashes of specific landscapes and scenes from them, from twenty different dreams.

>>40984291
>I've quit porn but masturbation is still keeping up. I don't think there's a one quick fix for this but I hope I find it.
you're on the path - keep putting one foot in front of the other

Day 26
Broke my streak last night and had sex with this girl I'm seeing. back to square one I guess.
Sex was really good tho, we cuddle for the rest of the night, not that it matters anyways.

genghis khan isn't real. Do you believe in Santa Claus too?

>>40984499
High dopamine levels can cause schizophrenia. Try consulting with a doctor or COOM now.

>>40983168
>Half-truth. Having a strong libido and fucking all the time is desirable
It isn't. Spilling seed is harmful either way. 4x more prolactin with sex vs masturbation. This is what causes guys to get "pussy-whipped".
The collapse of our society started with the normalization of casual sex.

>>40983385
>I've been grinding on a project for months now without any real sense of accomplishment gained. I'm very close to a very real milestone but it's still been an near endless grind for months.
You can't feel a sense of accomplishment because you're draining your dopamine with your porn activities
