Welcome to the Semen Retention General!
Ascension Edition!

>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.

>Why do it?
Reported benefits include: increased vitality, mental clarity, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy, improved focus, healthier hair/skin/eyes, deeper meditation, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, deeper voice, improved mood, greatly improved testosterone, improved physical strength and many more.

>Wet Dreams?
They happen because you had a sexual dream and you coomed. Learn to be conscious on your dreams and stop the succubus.

>What causes wet dreams?
The causes are many: Illnesses, telepathic bad actors fucking with your dreams, excess energy build up, watching too much sexually-inducing stuff, lusting during the day, lack of an adequate transmutation activity, eating too late at night, excess nutrients overall, stimulants like maca, ginseng, ginger, excess protein, excess carbs, tight clothes (pajamas) for bedtime, bad sleeping posture (this varies, find the one that suits you best), going to bed with full bladder, exposure to hormonal disruptors via food (pesticides...) or body care products (soap, deodorant etc)...

>In case of urges:
- https://imgur.com/a/nofap-anecdotal-evidence-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)
- Avoid stimulant drugs such as caffeine or adderall

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.

At day ~650 and a common thing for the past few months is getting tested spiritually, and getting rekt hard for failing. Not about cooming, but any kind of indulgence or act of self-discipline. For me it's about food, laziness, greed, and especially pride / ego.

the thread will never improve if you faggots keep leaving valuable information contributed out.

>>41014319
A lot of the posts on here are about people trying to struggle through or power through desires, there is another way.

I've been doing SR for a while now.. my longest streak is something like 150 days, I only break streaks with my GF, never on my own, it's probably been a decade since I've done that I can't remember.

Anyway recently I discovered a practice called "Returning fire to (it's) origin." It is a practice that monastics in the Chan and Taoist traditions use to calm their sexual energy, obtrusive thoughts etc. I've been playing around with it and it's sort of a game changer. I'm not sure if I am able to do it relatively easily because I have learned other qigong in the past, but it's not that complicated, for me anyway. There are several methods, none of them are over complicated, as far as qigong goes. One basic method is to massage the yong quan point (kindney 1) a few hundred times before bed. The feeling is that the sexual energy, rebellious qi, nervous energy, lustful thoughts, settle / sink into a sort of container where they don't cause problems, and instead generate a calm powerful energy. Give it a try.

Just dropping in to say that my life right now is actually UNBELIEVABLE due to retaining. The energy you can harness and the magnetism you have with not just people, life, animals and the world itself. The freedom you feel. The hot sizzling and buzzing feeling you will have in the pit of your stomach... the contentment, the yearning, the music, the colour. I'm not on top of the world, but I do feel the world. Thanks for reading and hope it made sense to you.

Chapter 12: Beware of Cutting Down

Many users resort to cutting down as a stepping-stone towards stopping, or as an attempt to control the little monster. Many recommend cutting down or a ‘porn diet’ as a pick-me-up. Using cutting down as a stepping stone to stopping is fatal. It’s these attempts to cut down that keep us trapped for the remainder of our lives. Generally, cutting down follows failed attempts to stop. After a few hours or days of abstinence the user says something like:

“I can’t face the thought of going to sleep without visiting my online harem, so from now on I’ll just use porn once in four days or purge my collection of ‘bad porn’. If I can follow this porn diet, I can either hold it there or cut down even further.”

Certain terrible things now happen:

1. They’re stuck with the worst of all worlds, still addicted to internet porn and keeping the monster alive not only in their body, but in their mind.
2. Wishing their life away waiting for the next session.
3. Prior to cutting down, whenever they wanted to visit their harem they’d fire up their browser and at least partially relieve their withdrawal pangs. Now in addition to the normal stresses of life, they’re causing themselves to suffer the withdrawal pangs for most of their lives, which makes them even more miserable and bad-tempered.
4. Whilst indulging, they neither enjoyed most of the sessions nor realized they were using a supernormal stimulus. It was automatic, the only harem visit that was enjoyed was one after a period of abstinence. Now that they wait an extra hour, day, or week for each visit, they ‘enjoy’ each one. The longer waited, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session appears to be, because the ‘enjoyment’ in a session isn’t the session itself — it’s the ending of the agitation caused by the craving — whether slight physical craving or mental moping. The longer the suffering, the more ‘enjoyable’ each session becomes.

>>41014541
The primary difficulty in stopping isn’t the neurological addiction, which is easy. Users will stop without difficulty on various occasions — the death of a loved one, family or work affairs, etc. They’ll go, say, ten days without access and it doesn’t bother them. But if they went the same ten days when they could’ve had access to porn, they’d be tearing their hair out.

Many users will get chances during their work day and abstain, or they’ll pass through Victoria’s Secret or swimming pools and so on without undue inconvenience. Many will abstain if they have to sleep on the couch temporarily to make space for a visitor, or are themselves visiting. Even in Go-Go bars or nudist beaches there have been no riots. Users are almost pleased for someone or something to say they cannot view porn. In fact, users who want to quit get a secret pleasure out of going for long periods without harem visits, giving them hope that perhaps one day they’ll never want it.

The real problem when stopping is brainwashing, an illusion of entitlement that internet porn is some sort of prop or reward and life will never be the same without it. Far from turning you off internet porn, all that cutting down accomplishes is leaving you feeling insecure and miserable, convincing you that the most precious thing on this earth is the new clip you missed, that there’s no way you’ll be happy again without seeing it.

There is nothing more pathetic than the user who’s been trying to cut down, suffering from the delusion that the less porn they watch, the less they’ll want to visit their online harem. The reverse is true — the less they watch porn, the longer they suffer withdrawal pangs and the more they ‘enjoy’ the relief of relieving them. However, they’ll notice their favourite genre isn’t hitting the spot. But that won’t stop them: if the tube sites were dedicated to only one star or one genre, no user would ever go more than once.

>>41014554
Difficult to believe? What’s the worst moment of self-control one feels? Waiting for four days and then having a climax. Then, what’s the most precious moment for most users on a four-day porn diet? That’s right, the same climax after waiting for four days! Do you really believe that you’re masturbating to enjoy the orgasm, or the more rational explanation that you need to relieve withdrawal pangs under the illusion that you’re entitled to?

Removal of the brainwashing is essential to remove illusions about porn before you extinguish that final session. Unless you’ve removed the illusion that you enjoy it before you close that window, there’s no way you can prove it afterwards without getting hooked again. When hovering over bookmarks and saved pictures, ask yourself where the glory in this action is. Perhaps you believe that only certain clips are of good taste, like ones on habitual or favourite themes. If so, why bother to watch other videos or themes? Because you got into the habit? Why would anyone habitually mess up their brain and waste themselves? Nothing is different after a month, so why should a porn clip be any different?

You can test this yourself. Find that hot clip from last month to prove it’s different. Then, set a reminder and watch the same clip after a month without porn. It will hit (almost) the same spots as it did last month. The same clip will be different after a social event where you’re turned down or tested by a potential partner. The reason being that the addict can never be fully happy if the little monster remains unsatisfied.

Where does satisfaction come into it? It’s just that they’re miserable if they can’t relieve their withdrawal symptoms. The difference between watching porn and not is the difference between being happy and miserable. That’s why internet porn appears to be better. Users who get on their sites first thing in the morning for porn are miserable whether watching it or not.

>>41014559
Cutting down not only doesn’t work, but is the worst form of torture. It doesn’t work because initially the user hopes that by getting into the habit less and less, they’ll reduce their desire to watch porn. It’s not a habit, it’s addiction. The nature of any addiction is wanting more and more, not less and less. Therefore in order to cut down, the user has to exercise willpower and discipline for the rest of their lives. So, cutting down means willpower and discipline forever. Stopping is far easier and less painful; there are literally tens of thousands of cases in which cutting down has failed.

The problem of stopping isn’t the dopamine addiction, which is easy to cope with. It’s the mistaken belief that porn gives you pleasure, brought about initially by brainwashing received before we started using, further reinforced by the actual addiction. All cutting down does is reinforce the fallacy further, to the extent that porn dominates their lives completely and convinces them that the most precious thing on earth is their addiction.

I'll add this to the 2nd post.
>>41014508
I'll add these to scientific evidence (5th).

Anyone else who wants to add shit, try and keep it short like this guy or put it all in a pastebin like others have done before.

>>41014565
The handful of cases that do succeed have been achieved by a relatively short period of cutting down, followed by going ‘cold turkey’. These users stopped in spite of cutting down, not because of it. All it did was prolong the agony, failed attempts leaving users nervous wrecks and even more convinced they’re hooked for life. This is usually enough to keep them reverting back to their online harem for pleasure and crutch, or at least for another stretch before the next attempt.

However, cutting down does help to illustrate the futility of porn, clearly demonstrating that visits to the harem are not enjoyable after periods of abstinence. You have to bang your head against a brick wall (suffer withdrawal pangs) in order to make it nice upon stopping. Therefore, the choices are:

Cutting down for life and suffering self-imposed torture, which you’ll be unable to do anyway.

Increasingly torturing yourself for life, which is pointless.

Being nice to yourself, and cutting porn out altogether.

The other aspect that cutting down demonstrates is that there’s no such thing as the odd or occasional harem visit. Internet porn is a chain reaction that will last the rest of your life unless you make a positive effort to break it.

Remember: Cutting down will drag you down.

I don't like how differently people treat you when you abstain. I imagine people who used to be chubby felt similar when they lost weight.

My soul is returning, ever so slowly

and I'm saying this - society SHOULD treat coomers and fats differently (poorly). they are disgusting slaves to lust and gluttony.

>>41015681
He's saying that people who lose weight are treated WORSE by others, because they see someone else improving themselves as a threat, and someone who is abstaining is likewise shunned by the coomer masses.

Day 82, thanks for the image

I'm trying. I went to the doctor, but they said this is a physiological need (like taking a piss), but prescribed me Naltrexone regardless, which is usually for alcohol/opioid addiction. It helped, since I've been doing it way less (lasted 8 days without it, which was a huge improvement) but relapsed eventually.
I don't wanna do this anymore, I hate it. It feels sad, it makes me miserable, but the body demands it most likely out of habit.
That week was the best I ever had in months, but I couldn't keep it like that. I'm so tired of this endless cycle.

Reposting from last thread, any help is appreciated.

Anons how do you really stop the desire to have friends and seek companionship? I just can't accept being utterly alone all the time. SR is right and it has helped me alot but it cannot erase the past. But my past is nothing for I didn't do anything other than being trapped in a mental cage full of brainfog. Clarity of SR has shown me the awful degenerate waste that I was.
What should I do with that information? How can I proceed basically knowing that I wasted the peak of my life daydreaming instead of working towards bettering myself? I am working on myself now so there is that, future isn't as bleak but when my brainfog was cleared because of SR, years of loneliness hit me like a truck. I coped through loneliness and isolation with jerking off and daydreaming. Now I can't do that. It was wrong of me to do it but I wasn't really conscious if you understand me. So while I was alone, I couldn't really feel the true heft of loneliness because of brainfog. Now that it is cleared, all of it is hitting me like a truck. I can literally feel the loneliness of highschool and university days just by closing my eyes. I couldn't understand it back then but I can now.

I really don't know if someone else has felt the same after SR. I will move on and I am doing much better than now so SR is the only way. But I just wanted to know how to deal with realization of what you used to be before SR

PSA to drink more water, it can help expedite your recovery. Be sure that when you piss your urine stream is crystal clear. If it isn't go get a glass of water and start hydrating. Also if you are a regular lurker of these threads and active retainer you are likely getting a DNA upgrade and so you should be drinking plenty of water for that reason alone. Many Arcturian channelers all recommend drinking lots of water.

What is brain fog?

women, especially the pretty ones, smell insanely better on retention. It's the first time I noticed this.

Maybe I am smelling better too? Women are talking to me more now. Anyone has experience with this

>>41016122
You can't and shouldn't stop the desire to make friends since it is a natural thing. Sometimes experiencing that yearning is what we are meant for in life. I think I am meant to experience that in some regards as well, though with different personal issues. It is painful but better than filling that hole with something bad. Part of not being an NPC is allowing yourself to feel the pain of that privation, whether or not it can be remedied.

Really what I'm saying is that it's a strong emotion that shouldn't be suppressed. If anything, try to capture it in some poetry.

I'm not, i get more boners on SR, he's either in flatline or doing something unhealthy. Exercise+SR+healthy food=morning wood
I was getting morning wood pretty rarely as a coomer, i can't believe how long i ruined my body and vril

>>41012410
This is relevant to my case. I think my biggest addiction is I can't leave my PC. So my attempts to be a better me feels like being obstructed because I still connected with it daily.

for some reason my current streak is tied to tons of financial success. gave up porn/peeking recently and suddenly one of my stock takes off. it's uncanny

>>41016871
And ever since I started injecting my body with florescent jellyfish girls see me more easily

Day 95

My ability to flirt and almost creepily approach women goes ballistic after a month if seamen retention. Would definitely lead to a gf or some kind of sexual thing if I stuck with it. But women are a fucking nightmare to deal with these days amd im not as corny as I was in my 30s

>>41017054
>corny
Beautiful freudian slip.
>creepily approach women goes ballistic
I feel myself drawn to beautiful women almost against my will on SR and have to catch myself from just following them around stores and stuff, kek.

I’m on day 40 or so and just had a shit ass sluggish day. Only day in my streak where I felt bad had no motivation to do shit and just mailed it in for the day. Hoping tomorrow is better!

Is caffeine actually bad for SR results like one of the threat posts near the top says? Why do you think so if you do?

>>41016666
I was going to repost, but given these digits, you better give me a good answer.

>>41017304
Depends what your goals are. If you're in your 20s and trying to fix porn addiction, ED, anxiety depression, relationships with women, then you will probably benefit from reducing caffeine but it's not crucial.

If you want to advance your spiritual life then you really should quit because spiritual stuff is subtle and you will miss a lot of it with your nervous system overstimulated on caffeine.

Reminder that if you're struggling to get into the month long streak territory then it's okay to do structured on purpose faps (it's how I made it)
>3 days
>5 days
>1 week
>2 weeks
>etc
I should note though, this should only be used as a last resort, and if you can go for longer than your allocated days then go for it. This is ONLY for people who are really struggling, like desperately. Make sure you follow the rules though, for this to be effective you not only have to not look at porn, but also not touch yourself (not even a half fap), and do your absolute best to avoid dirty thoughts (these aren't so bad early on, but become a real problem during the longer streaks).
>You get a bonus if you decide not to use porn on your fap day, by the way.
I've found that by having a set goal day, it made me push forward where normally I would have given in and relapsed. After a while of doing this, you will naturally abandon the structure entirely and fledge into an SR chad where you don't even think about fapping anymore, because you'll find that you're enjoying your time more and more without it. You will find that the few times you do go to revisit porn you won't even be interested by it anymore (even disgusted in some cases), and if you do relapse your brain will realise the reward from cooming is not commensurate with the amount of shitness you feel afterwards, and associate that with a negative feeling. In essence, your brain will be tricked into thinking that fapping makes you feel bad, and the urge to do it will almost completely vanish given enough time.

There will be shills who instantly reply to this post trying to say this is a horrible idea, followed by some completely retarded baseless logic as to why. They don't want struggling people to make it, just ignore them. Take this arcane knowledge, and use it to defeat the demons. Godspeed

I'm in a similar boat, wherein I basically spent the last 5 years just jerking off, working, working out, playing counterstrike and music. I basically abandoned my social life and grew apart from my friends cause they're kinda normie-ish and smoke pot all the time. because of SR (2 years this month) I've been pushing myself back out into the world, and I've realized how boring and useless my life is. it's a deep, visceral painful realization. now when I reconnect with old friends from different circles, go to events, etc I'm seeing how socially active and connected and warm most people are. would I trade the knowledge and "awareness" gained from SR for an active and warm social life? probably not. but I really feel like I missed out on a lot of life while I went hard monk mode.
but now we're awake. and restarting to live when you're older is not easy, but it beats abandoning social plans and days in the sun to go to the goon cave and stroke the goon stick. never again.

anyone dealing with ocd and masturbation?
i dont actually have a problem with the self discipline, dealing with horny feelings, flatlines, etc
but i have developed some ocd like patterns where i'll masturbate to "cleanse" my energy or flush unwanted energy out of my system
such as if someone gives me a pat on the back i'll jerk off to "clear" that energy
if i was left on my own alone in a cabin i'd be fine, its the dealing with other people, someone tailgating in traffic, etc, that are my triggers

Reminder that if you're struggling to stop masturbating and releasing semen then it's okay to masturbate and release semen.
>masturbate for 3 days straight
This is ONLY for people who are really struggling, like desperately. Make sure you follow the rules though, for this to be effective you not only have to look at porn, but also touch yourself (even a half fap), and do your absolute best to have dirty thoughts.
>You etta bonus if you watch porn on your fap day, by the way.
I've found that by having a set goal day tp jerk off and then ejaculate, it made me relapse. After a while of doing this, you will naturally abandon any hopes of abstinence entirely and fledge into an masturbator where you don't even think about not fapping anymore, because you'll find that you're enjoying your time more and more with it. You will find that the many times you do go to revisit porn you will even be interested by it (even delighted in some cases), and if you do relapse your brain will realise the addiction to cooming is commensurate with the amount of shitness you feel afterwards, and associate that with a positive feeling anyway. In essence, your brain will be tricked into thinking that fapping makes you feel good, and the urge to do it will almost completely strengthen given enough time.

There will be goyim i mean shills who instantly reply to this post trying to say this is a horrible idea, followed by some completely retarded baseless logic as to why (such as using masturbating as a tool to stop masturbating is retarded gorilla nigger logic. Which it isn’t becsuse it just is ok??!) They don't want struggling people to masturbate, just ignore them. If you don’t masturbate you’ll get prostate cancer, goy. Just one little touch won’t hurt. If you go cold turkey you WILL die!! It is not possible to completely stop masturbating. Anyone who teels you otherwise is an antisemite. You are antisemtitic if you retain by the way.

5 days clean. Urges are starting to kick in. Wife's good moring kiss, with arms on my shoulders, made me want to put a baby in her womb right on the spot.

Somewhat, like if somebody or something stressed me out or gave me bad vibes then I would see jacking off as a stress relief. But the big gotcha is the tension would resurface later so it just temporarily delays it.
Like let's say somebody made me feel bad about myself, sometime later I'll mess something unrelated up then be like "wow you're such a fucking idiot can you DO ANYTHING right".
What really helped me is prayer and walking around in nature outside.

Nah that's cap, I drink tons of caffeine every day and I'm on Day 73. And before that I was gooning 4 times a day for 10 years straight.
Actually I don't know if I could have gotten through Day 7 through 28 without a good caffeine buzz to offset the constant headaches and feeling shitty and tired.

I spent my entire 20's masturbating to hentai and fucking prostitutes. Even caught multiple strains of herpes. So much shit I could've been doing.

I basically went crazy when I came upon the same realization of my life after doing SR. It’s also the cause of most of my relapses.
>run a solid streak without temptations

>all this because the dopamine induced brain fog lifts

>start peeking at lustful content and then eventually porn
>bargain with myself that a relapse is ok because all the scary feelings will be numbed out of my mind
>rinse and repeat
I just had another relapse tonight. I’ve stumbled majorly and my business is with God and His forgiveness tonight. I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep making the same mistakes because I can’t cope with the fear and loneliness. A life in stasis ruled by lust is not a worthy one.

>>41016122
My loneliness was never lessened or exacerbated by SR. But standard depression "helped".
I do not believe I will ever be understood or be able to have friends. And as such, why be sad about it anymore than I am sad that I can not fly in the sky like a bird. It is what it is.

If God permits it then so be it, and if not then so be it. The candle of desire has burned itself out.
>>41019014
>A life in stasis ruled by lust is not a worthy one.
What makes you worthy of life or friendship in the first place? What makes anyone for that matter. It simply happens, in my opinion. Some are "luckier" than others.
I don't think worth factors in. If God or other people deign fit to bless you with Grace or Mercy or companionship (respectively), you count yourself grateful, but not worthy.

I hope this question won't come across as weird but how often do you think the average person actually masturbates?

Do you think chronic masturbation (every day to every three days) is only what constantly online people do, such as 4channers? Do non channers/chronlines fap way less frequently? I see lots of energetic outdoors type dudes on YT who seem like they don't fap at all given their level of pure motivation.
I wonder what type of people don't fap at all without even knowing about SR. Maybe some types of boomers? What do you guys think?

Hindsight is always 20/20, its brutal but realizing where you messed up in the past is a sign of growth.

Trigger warning-do not read if vulnerable:


I’ve refrained from masturbation for 6-7 months now, but I regularly have sex and receive fellatio to completion every other day (have a wife), is this essentially just as bad as masturbation or is the fellatio the bad one? I read that sex is okay because spiritually and physically you receive something from her which makes it okay (she is 7 months pregnant as well) but fellatio isn’t (understandably). Should I stop all ejaculation, even though I finish inside her every time?

Day 0

>>41017390
I'm not sure what you meant with spiritual life here. Here in my country people drink black coffee and still able to communicate with spirits. Shouldn't this not possible if caffeine blocked your system?

>>41016122
SR allows you to feel, to inhabit the world fully and not as a ghost like other people. The world is made of Light and Dark. Darkness is the primordial state, and it will become your default state if you allow yourself to truly feel the world without remembering to 'turn on the Light'. Watch an uplifting movie, go for a walk, listen to an album in full, read a book cover to cover, and use the power of your Will to choose thoughts that fill you with Light. There are also techniques that call down the Light, or summon it from within. These are commonly referred to as magic.

>>41019297
yeah. the spirits they're communicating with are demons.

>>41019442
DEMONS DEMONS DEMONS.
Why are people so obsessed with demons?

>>41019528
Cause they’re everywhere. Jews have built an entire industry just to summon as much demons in as much territory as possible throughout the world daily

My dreams are way more vivid and I remember them in much clearer detail. I started a dream journal 2 weeks ago and most of the time could only write half a page or so. Today I covered 2 pages and could have kept going

>>41019528
it's a scapegoat for taking responsibility of their own inner, mental, figurative demons. rather than be a grown adult that says "huh, guess I have some repressed mental chatter or emotional skeletons in the closet that I still have to deal with" some people manifest (and actually hallucinate) LE DEMONZ as these external "entities" that influence and harass them. tldr, children and scary monsters under the bed and all that. they will defend them with the typical wall of text with that classic snobbish undertone and some vague mentioning of their superiority.

Intrusive sexual thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

I figure I will contribute to the thread because I just got one week under my belt and I feel pretty good about that, as it is the longest streak I've had in a while. Something feels different about this one, it feels as though it is easier than the others, and I can't quite put my finger on why that is. I still browse 4chan and see what would normally be sexually stimulating images but now I don't react to them and simply hide them. For example yesterday some jerk posted a nude of this hot Asian lady flashing her pussy that looked almost perfect, it sent a shock throughout my nervous system, but i immediately hide the thread and forgot about it. That was probably the Devil testing me, and I passed. I also still drink caffeine (I am trying to cut down). It might be because I started taking L-Theanine supplements, that's the only difference I've noticed, and also I started meditating regularly again and praying to God, maybe the prayer is what is helping the most. I thank God for keeping lustful thoughts and deeds away and for protecting me when I sleep from encounters with succubi. As I am now on day 7 though, I wake up a little more aroused than usual. I anticipate this aroused feeling will strengthen as time goes on then hopefully diminish. People say the first 30 days are the most difficult, and in past longer streaks this seems to have been the case. My longest streak ever was last year and I got to about 5 months or so of no PMO or masturbation of any kind or peeking. During that streak though, nocturnal emissions were pretty frequent, sometimes multiple times per week even after being a few months into the streak. This time I am going to record my nocturnal emissions more diligently to track whether or not they are going away, and of course ideally I won't have any at all. I also started doing breathwork and transmuting sexual energy up my spine to my higher chakras. I can feel a tingling sensation at my third eye energy center and my crown chakra.

Reading through all the posts in these threads, everyone here seems miserable and depressed.

Ok for real, dripping what? what boys call precum? Yeah, it's a reflex, you have conditioned your body to do that, might take a while but it will go away on its on.
If by any chance you are older than 40, pay attention to that prostate, no, you won't get cancer because of SR but if it's enlarged, zinc depletion could be one cause, perhaps some changes in diet and nutrition are needed.
Not sure if you are the same person but I've seen another post in this on the last thread about urine and semen, you or that person needs to understand that super long term compulsive masturbation can fuck up the muscles and nerves of your pelvic floor, that needs to be taken care of, as usual this is not medical advise if symptoms persist consult your physician etc...

>>41019874
Yep, my life improved in many aspects. The 'depressed' are just stagnant, that's a better word. We all have our own catalysts. The happy ones are not posting ITT. For me, I'm not happy all the time, or energetic, or creative. I don't have all the answers. But I do feel like I'm taking ownership of my reality. I am living to accept the ups and downs I feel. I'm not attaching importance to anything that doesn't deserve it.
My advice is go easy on yourself. That means don't wrestle in your mind. Make time for yourself where you do nothing, just feel what it feels like to sit or lie in place without thinking about past or future. No screens, maybe a little music is good for relaxation. I recommend Brian Eno or Harold Budd. Or better, just be in quiet woods with natural sounds if possible. To be in complete solitude for an extended time is ideal, then return reborn with good wholesome food.

>>41019857
Who ignores those?

mentally ill people dressing up in drag is a trauma response. fags parading around and celebrating their debauchery is just gooners being gooners. there's unresolved (usually childhood) trauma manifesting through rebellion. that's not LE DEMONIC POSSESSION. not everything you don't like in life is a battle of the gods across time and space with supernatural elements stemming from servants of satan.

>>41020970
I'm talking about real people. I don't associate with normies.

>>41021179
I used to think like you until I went down the rabbit hole.
There's a reason ancient shamans used to dress up in masks and over-exaggerated costumes during their ceremonies.
They believed that by imitating the entity's likeness, they created a kind of sympathetic link with the it, thus allowing the entity to "possess" their body and work through them.

It creates a connection or "doorway"

Drag Queens (whether their aware of it or not) are doing the same thing.

I understand it can be frustration when Christfags are constantly calling things demonic, but the fact of the matter is that these people absolutely are a conduit for non-physical entities.

>>41021179
Sorry buddy, but you’re not convincing anyone but yourself. The testimonies of ritual abuse and possession/alters are in the thousands. Occultists practice rituals that open up portals, this is just a thing that exists and you can’t do anything about it, it’s been going on long before you’re retarded know it all ass and will happen long after you’re gone

>>41021157
You can learn it from books, or there may be groups you can contact. It's better for you to look into it yourself than for me to tell you. If you want it, you'll find it.

It’s definitely way better than masturbation, but I agree with this anon >>41019836 that fellatio does feel much more like masturbation than sex does. Not as bad, but doesn’t feel spiritually that good. Normal lovemaking does feel way way different especially after a while of no masturbation. But I’m gonna stop the fellatio from now on and let’s see what happens.

Day 21. I've been waiting for a day that the benefits of SR don't make themselves extremely obvious, and today/yesterday it finally seems to be happening. Feeling pretty much normal, although I tend to work 10-12 hour days, so there's always a degree of fatigue. The feeling of getting this far yet still having so far to go is coupled with some insidious urges. I also need to stop looking for the benefits and just live my life.

>>41014315 (OP)
Is this REALLY how you have to teach zoomers an millennials how to abstain from porn? Telling them they'll gain superpowers? Jesus Christ.

>>41021818
Got their ass

17 day streak here. The benefits are really noticeable, especially the spiritual and social ones. I haven't felt a great rise in energy, buy maybe I am already transmuting all of it in prayer.

My dreams got a lot more spiritual and deeper. During Holy Mass and prayer God unveil its truths a lot more to me. Everything against me infuriate me less and everything against God bothers me more. I was attacked by demons on my sleep day 15.

Well done, brother. Stay the course and enter the Kingdom of Heaven on this Earthly plane. God-men ascend!

251 days sober

Day 350

While I haven't had the urge to look at porn in 100+ days, I have been recalling former sex experiences and lusting over those (until I catch myself and I immediately stop).

These days, I cannot stop recalling the night I lost my virginity. My GF and I were both virgins. I can recall it so vividly even though this happened almost 20 years ago.

My thinking is that this was the last "pure" sex I had. Everything else after that (100~ bodycount) was basically just me using the girl to masturbate into.

Maybe I'm just being sentimental and reminiscing, but this is the first time I remember actually recalling that night fondly. The sex itself was bad and really awkward. But for some reason, these days, it's all that springs into my mind

day 23. This is my longest streak ive ever been on. Am I going through a flatline because even though i get 8 hours of sleep every night and eat healthy and workout, i feel tired as hell all the time. Also i dont have that many urges at all, which is good but also makes me worried for my hormones

Its not all bad though because for the first time in years Im starting to actually like doing other things outside of instant gratification. Drawing feels genuinely fun to do now. I also feel like doing this has made my skin and eyebags a bit better in a way. I’m getting a lot of looks from girls but i cant tell if they think im attractive or if theyre looking at me in the same way people stare at disabled people. Ive also had some random interactions with girls but ive been ignored by women for so long that i cant tell if theyre doing the thing they sometimes do and are just trying to mess around with the ugly guy

Maybe you are, but be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking any unusual symptom or feeling is due to SR. We are governed by so many factors. In any case, always persevere, long-term there are only benefits.
>i cant tell if they think im attractive or if theyre looking at me in the same way people stare at disabled people
For some women these aren't mutually exclusive things.

>>41022259
Day 1 and thereafter.

Holy shit i think i just proved (to myself at least) that edging/cooming fucks with your digestion/stomach. I've had IBS symptoms for like a year now, and it was the worst when i started SR but was edging like a retard. Anyway i had one day where my stomach was hurting and i ended up cooming that day, after it happened i got one of the worst pains i've ever had. Slowly it got better cause i stopped being retarded and i almost have no symptoms, untill today i fucked up and edged for like 2-3 hours untill i gave myself blue balls. After i stopped i now started to have that same pain i remember back then(not as bad). Wtf bros how deep does this shit go?

>>41022316
2/2 Honestly edging fucks me up so bad i kinda feel like cooming in 2 minutes is less harmful, Which is fucked cause you dont wanna relapse, always leading to same knowledge ive had but too retarded to apply, never peek, never touch yourself

How bad is indulging in sexual thoughts, really? Like daydreaming without jerking.

I'm a fucking remtech not an undercover cop Jeff. I don't infiltrate "extremist groups". So either you contact me or I'm not doing jack shit but playing video games until your little operation fails.

>>41022333
I think its kinda natural to have more when on a streak and the urges hit in, just dont go too far, having them for like a minute is fine. I always feel like if you leak precum its too far

>>41022290
The correct answer is 4,380 days

>>41019528
Cause they're a legit problem, so people are obviously going to bring them up. Can't just ignore the reality of it because someone doesn't like hearing about it.

>>41022316

>I’m getting a lot of looks from girls but i cant tell if they think im attractive or if theyre looking at me in the same way people stare at disabled people

Gentleman, today is day 83. Currently at an 83 day streak on SR. Peeked once three weeks ago and otherwise it’s a clean streak. So I am one week away from being at 90 days. Feels pretty fucking good mates.

>>41022316
Yeah, SR cured my heartburn with zero change to my diet. I used to have heartburn every night.

>>41019874
>>41019969
So one thing I've noticed at least for myself, the goonism is a lot stronger on times where I tend neet myself away, staying inside too long, feeling caged and disconnected
on the other hand, in those times where I do get busy, from habit I feel a desperate longing for those neet brakes (and obviously gooning to death)

Be honest with yourself, are you attractive? Girls might be interested. Use it only for confidence boost and maintain the streak.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I get to uber jeet all day and each one is a chance to see and talk to a qt3.14. Honestly the reason for getting up in the morning is maybe a cute girl smiles at me, most likely she's a foreigner but who cares (I'm a tall handsome loser)

After how many days do I get powerful astral projection abilities

>>41022792
im tall and fit but i feel like my face is cucked so thats why i cant tell if they are attracted to me or not

Around day 10 now. Earlier this year went 4.5 months at the longest. I know it can really help and I want to go back to that.

Day 35

Scary how literally me this is

>>41022791
Gooning is the cause to down syndrome

Don't bask in the random female attention. Even more dangerous: don't fall into fantasies and plans when a female acquaintance shows sudden affective or sexual interest.

It might feel like a very positive validation or just a little "confidence boost", but it's actually Satan trying to blue ball you into submission through compound mini-frustrations. Don't let him! Acknowledge the attention, be friendly and move on. Save such intentions for your bride. You will feel like an absolute fool if you fail for this reason.

So as to evade my gangstalkers, I am refraining from posting my streak henceforth.

>>41023063
I laugh in the fucking face of my gang stalkers

i've now begun a new clean streak of zero peeking/porn. day 3 or so of that, day 215 overall. trying to puritymax

>>41022981
The ultimate goal is to have you commit to marriage and ultimately, keep you trapped in the material world by raising a child. It is not anyone’s fault though, just the way this evil system was designed.

>>41023183
>day 215 overall
Cope. You're at day 3. You shouldn't have peeked.

>>41023285
It’s called semen retention not porn ignoring. Although it is half the battle, which is why he’s back to day 107.5

At what point do I start seeing myself and other people's aura? I want to learn nen.

>>41023336
Noporn is just as important as the retaining part, if not more.

I don't want to have kids, but I also don't want to go monk mode.

No I'm sorry, that is not based, that is cringe asf

Im getting sick of the consequences of growing up with porn and masturbation. It was women who initially showed me hardcore porn videos as a kid and its been stuck with me to some degree ever since.

>>41023537

the point is to no get off track to just anyone's flimsy flirt

Going really strong. I broke my record, which was over 6 years ago,

where are you?

>>41023560
No, I'm sorry, you are the idiot here, an idiot with deeply rooted issues which you project into religious imagery.

Flirting does not get anybody off track if they are not willing to get off track, GROW THE FUCK UP

>>41017029
Wtf

A part of the explanation of why semen retention works is the dopamine receptor burnout. I dunno if that really is it but it kinda feels that way to me. I more easily find pleasure in ordinary things throughout the day. Porn will still trigger dopamine receptors hard even if you are not masturbating. Just don't look at porn.

>>41023581
Why do they get progressively taller only for the god tier human to be a manlet
Month here btw

>>41023654
because it's A.I. slop :P

I've noticed that whenever I retain for a week or two, a woman I know unblocks me and starts pretending to be very interested in me. This causes me to wank and spill my seed, she then blocks me a day or two later. This pattern, with the same woman who is also majorly mentally ill, has happened 4 times in the past 50 days.

>>41023756
Great you’re now self aware of a trigger. So if it happens again don’t slip up this time

6 days clean. It's alright. No sexual thought. Gonna pepare breakfast. Take care frens.

>>41023949
have a nice day!

>>41022346
In the same category is physical attention from women touching you and et cetera. This is why there are 300 monk rules in buddha teaching, most are this like don’t touch your gentials and eat with a spoon.

Except to clean it of course…

>>41022981
Me on the left

>>41023285
Bullshit, he's still on Day 215
>>41023491
So under your logic somebody that jacks off to their imagination and doesn't watch porn is better off than a guy on a 60+ day retaining streak who peeks at porn occasionally?
It's right there in the name, SEMEN RETENTION.
Getting anons tripped up about peeking is a psyop to demoralize people and try to disqualify them when they're actually doing great. Every day you keep retaining is another W.

Isn’t fully abstaining a bit extreme? I axed my addiction this year by none other than the grace of god. The urge to do it daily just…left me. Now I do it about once every 5 days on average. Is that not good enough? It doesn’t feel compulsive anymore, or like an addiction, just usually around a week I get the urge to wank so I do. I still keep all the “benefits” of no more compulsive daily wanking, clarity confidence etc. Does one *really* feel even more effects longer than a week on or is it just a meme?

You can easily find this out you dirty bum

>>41023528
Hello, friend. If you are feeling anxiety, I would say it's one of these two:
>if it's due to SR withdrawls
Simply understand that it's a symptom to be expected and that it will go away if you simply persevere.
>if it's due to something else
Deal with the underlying and understand that jacking off is your baby animal way of taking momentary refuge from the fear and anguish of human life. Understand that if you live for a higher purpose, these emptions are absolutely irrelevant and that jacking off will only make them worse anyway. Use your newfound courage, intelligence and vitality to finally solve your underlying problems.

>>41014315 (OP)
When ever I go on nofap, I get really aggressive and moody, to the point where I value other lives less then I usally would, and my general hatred towards women would grow as well. My record has been 2 months, and during that time my aggression never waned and horniness never passed, but only grow stronger. No I didn't not consume porn during this time either, and I was intermediate fasting as well.
Any advice to counteract this? I know I can go on for longer, I just don't want to act like a miserable chud while doing it.

Today marks one month without porn and masturbation for me. Week ago I was having a blast and had no cravings but this week I've craved porn so much it's unreal. I'm not even horny, I just want to watch some I don't know why.

>>41014315 (OP)
I literally cannot remember the last time I even had sexual thoughts, let alone touch myself or look at porn. It has been pretty close to a decade at this stage. So, when do the benefits start, hm?

The benefit is that you won't waste time on porn.

third

>>41025194
No legs?

Thoughts from an experienced retainer here, been on this for 5-6 years, had one 200+ and multiple 30+ streaks, yes all the benefits are real and it depends on your baseline, currently on 90 days monk mode (except 3 times where i purposefully tested myself with hard-core temptations) streak and this is where I can say finally I beat this monster, what helped me is mindfulness, this has eliminated my 90% of bad habits, it's been one month where I am eliminating all the addictions and attachments one by one, I feel so free and light, it seems so simple in hindsight i wonder why i couldn't achieve this in my 5 year journey, and there is no repression or suppression from my side just joyful acceptance. Guys just beat this and believe me there are lot of good things on other side and i believe a lot of our bad habits are connected to this addiction

On day 49 I woke up with massive morning wood and full of energy what does that mean????

>>41024122
You’re still an addict retard

Someone literally thought I was God...
I was so embarrassed.
This random guy just walks up to me while I’m waiting for my Chipotle order and goes:
“Hey… are you some kind of prophet?”
And I panicked. So I was like: "Oh gosh, no. I just haven’t ejaculated in 341 days."
He looked stunned and walked away. I think my vibration was too high for him to handle.
After, when I was leaving Chipotle, a beautiful woman was coming in. She looked at me like I was a snack. I almost broke. But I thought...'Not today, Whore of Babylon.' This body is a vessel. This flesh now houses my cum.
And for one brief second, I caught my reflection in the window. And I thought, 'Wow. Who… is that?'
And then I remembered that I haven’t nutted in 341 days. Of course I look divine.
Honestly, brothers… this path is so humbling. The Holy Reservoir remains unspilled.

>>41025180

Why is this thread on /x/, btw? Not judging . I just don't visit /x/ often and was surprised to find it here. /fit/ seems a more appropriate board for something like this, no?

>>41025455
/fit/ jannies delete it on sight

>>41025455
Because you get super powers when you retain

>>41025455
The fourth post of the thread explains why.

Brothers, this journey we are on. It can get kind of lonely. Communities like this one can help a little bit, but for those of you that also resonate with this. What helped you cope?

>>41025651
Prayer, Community and a general curiosity about SR. To constantly talk to God has helped me tremendously to deal with Anxiety about life's issues. Community is important so I advise finding a church or spiritual group to talk to. This can also be an accountability partner or friend who cares about you. The reason I'm currently on day 115 is because I just decided to stop in May because I wanted a breakthrough in my life. Soon months went past and I realized I have not watched porn the entirety of August and have no intention to do so for now. I recommend staying curious about SR and what could happen if you stay the course. I'm currently aiming for day 200.

>>41025651
I'm in the process of constructing a tulpa. I've realized I am more introspective when my inner monologue is geared towards a conversation. That, and a single friend I've kept close with over the years.

>>41025698
It's interesting you bring up a tulpa because i was talking to one yesterday, this tulpa though resembles a guide or entity I met in the astral a few months ago. I just adopted the appearance of the entity, i dont believe it is the same entity though. I think engaging with tulpas can be a good cope.

>>41025695
Well done on your streak. I will seek out some community when i move next year to another state for work. I suppose also being at work and around others can alleviate loneliness also.

im depressed, I have herpes and semen retention raises your arginine levels and arginine causes outbreaks. everytime I do semen retention i start to experience prodome and herpes outbreaks. I take l lysine and valacyclovir to coutneract it but it doesnt help much. Seems to happen after maybe 5 days of semen retention. I went 100 days last time and it was doable but when im jerking off once a day i usually get no outbreaks even if i feel like shit

>>41025726
>when im jerking off once a day i usually get no outbreaks even if i feel like shit
its just a feeling of mine, but stopping this and sticking with SR even if it causes outbreaks might be good for you in the long run

>>41025698
>I've realized I am more introspective when my inner monologue is geared towards a conversation.
That’s a useless and never ending conversation, friend. Best to ignore the inner monologue.

The inner monologue is the ego talking. You can give it fuel (energy/attention) and it’ll talk more and more. Or you can not identify with it and observe as it dissipates.

>>41026792
do we have sources/good study or where is this meme coming from?

>>41014315 (OP)
My relationship with masturbating is kind of weird as it relates to my self esteem about my sexual life. For context I've always been a bit below average in looks and kind of short and skinny so women naturally do not see me as sexually attractive or as boyfriend material. However, I've had girls interested in the past but i consider them unicorns and many of them were mentally ill if I'm being honest about it.

Nowadays I pretty much see sex as unattainable and the only way to release the pent up sexual frustration is through masturbation and that leads up to porn use. If I don't masturbate I start getting all these thoughts that I will be an incel forever even though I'm 23 and have all my life ahead of me. So I want to ask all of you guys what tips do you guys have? Other than the basics of lift weights take care of yourself and to stop putting women on a pedestal but it's kind of hard to do so when they just don't want you and all your friends around you get girls no problem due to them being attractive, and I don't want to become an eunuch obviously, since I find relationships an essential part of life.

Even if I am logically aware that semen retention might possibly increase my chances, my emotions just go crazy when I get horny like my brain correlates horniness to hopelessness and that's when I break my streaks. I just feel like the outcome of SR just isn't worth me going crazy and seeing myself as a loser.

Do you guys experience this as well?

TL;DR my lizard brain thinks being horny = being a desperate loser who will never get the girls he truly desires.

>>41026980
Stop wacking it
Go to the gym
Girls will notice you

I want to ask question regarding "level of SR required to pick up X person" but it would include\involve mentioning IRL celebrities. I don't want to be a coomer, or tempt others to evil thoughts..I just NEED a real, tangible landmark as intense and brutal motivation.
Do I proceed?

Fuck the gym, there are other things to do than go to the gym. If you are SR to get gain then you’re a faggot. Faggotry is not going to get you anywhere. Read a book, get a job, do anything but go to the gym. Jesus didn’t talk how about how much he could squat, he couldn’t even lift a cross because he was based. He knew there were better things to retain and that it’s gay to look like a raisin

Obviously this terrible advice and basically everyone should do the opposite of what he is saying here. Proper circulation and physical health is a massive addition while doing SR. Resistance training is incredibly beneficial.

>>41027347
the mood improvement of SR + exercise alone is day-changing

>>41027113
Fag. I do all of that plus gym

>>41027358

Absolutely. Also doing dynamic & static stretching routines as well or even some light cardio with walking and to get your heart rate up a little.

Whatever stage someone is at currently at you will get tons of benefit with enhanced circulation and SR.

>>41025180
nah ur actually retarded holy shit

Finishing up day 25, had a realization that on the surface seems basic and obvious but at a deeper level it really has unlocked a massive insight into the kind of woman I'm looking for, rather how to filter the ones I don't want. To spare you the /r9k/ level detail, it boils down to the simple question of "do I even want to be friends with this woman?" Please spare me the christcuck/mgtow/redpill response that you shouldn't be friends with your wife.
Think of it like "would I even want to be around you?" This is a massive woman filter.
Anyway this only came to me due to the special powers gained through SR.

>>41016585
the wojaks are random but keep pushing, it's more of a feeling than an actual physical state, a lot of the physical benefits people mention are indirect (they're actual mental) imo.

>>41014315 (OP)
day 24
anyone else experiencing mood swings. One day i’ll go from feeling like im on top of the world and the very next day I will feel like its over and all blackpilled. I just wish there was some stability in my mood.

Today was the first day I really started to notice a change in my behavior. A little bit more energy than usual. But I noticed i'm really starting to act differently around women, and also the way I think about them. I'm also a LOT hornier. All the time.

Driving home there's usually people out walking/jogging and I saw this qt wearing orange yoga shorts with the most amazing big round booty i've ever seen in my life. I couldn't take my eyes off her as I rolled passed in my car. When I passed I could see she had a cute face too.

When I was a habitual coomer I could easily ignore it. But this is a totally different impulse than i'm used to.
I literally cannot get the image of her perfect fat tush out of my mind. Holy shit.

>>41027734
And this too shall pass anon. I'm grateful you're holding strong. In situations like this is the best time to build virtue, since it is only forged by fire and tests. Remind yourself that you are more than your emotions. Your body is just trying to stabilize after abusing it for some time. See it as your body purging all the bad stuff you've been doing, knowing that good things lay on the other side. I'm rooting for you anons :^)

>>41027786

Boys you need to workout to failure as often as possible. Bike 20 miles, lift 40lb weights, run, swim at the beach, you need to just keep moving. When confronted with a hot pussy just keep moving by god because it is akin to a mousetrap yes

>>41027879
I have a bi-weekly function I attend where I engage in some pretty intense physical activity. Other than that I don't really know how to fit it into my schedule where I work full-time.
I used to do pushups to failure during bathroom breaks, maybe ill try that again. I'll try anything, felt like I was going to bust at any moment today.

>>41027705
> the christcuck/mgtow/redpill response that you shouldn't be friends with your wife.
Can't speak for christcucks nor mgtows, but a true to life redpill is that you can't really be bff with your wife, it's not her place.
>Think of it like "would I even want to be around you?" This is a massive woman filter.

You speak too much about "sparing" btw

For me pic related works >>41018702, even right when orgasm hits during wet dream. Cancels it

>>41024980
Pretty much sums me up as well. Are you good looking? Girls ever talk to you? I find that people want to talk to me more on a streak but my autism spikes to where I don’t notice or care. It’s weird. I used to want a gf but now I just don’t care that much. I like sex and cuddles. It’s just that the ROI is literally zero once you’re committed to someone who sees you as a wallet. I don’t even like escorts now. Haven’t fucked in a year

>>41026253

Thats rough anon. Sorry.

Hey guys what would you consider pornographic or material that would cause a dirty streak? Just hardcore shit or anything you would consider to be arousing? I haven't gone out of my way to look for porn but I have been exposed to pictures of ladies in various states of undress recently. I'm an artist so I end up drawing lots of naked people too.

Are any of you wife guys? SR has placed a doubt in me. I dont know If I want to have a family. I want to achieve great things, I see stuff others cant.

Hitler didnt persue a regular job and this is hitting me hard. I am in the process of making a shit load of money. I can spend it to start a family or to do something else. Any insights? anything

>>41028314
Cool, your insights were on point btw, I just found it funny you didn't want to hear opinions that potentially aligned with your realizations. Realizing shit by yourself is immensely more valuable than all the books in the world btw. Godspeed anon.

>>41026980
Embrace your doom. Fall onto the sword. Let it tear you apart and feel what it's like to have your dreams and view of the world shattered exactly as you've always feared.

This is growing up and realizing that any panicking you've wasted on this subject was foolish and not worth it.

Idk where you got the idea that Christians think you shouldn't be friends with your spouse? At the mission where I volunteer there are multiple older couples on the days I go and they are clearly best friends. Its probably a prerequisite to be married for successfully & happily for 50+ years.

One couple the woman was 89 and the guy 91 and then still came in to prep vegetables twice a month. Married in their early 20s. Together for 70 years or so. They were surprisingly mobile and watching them work together & help each other was legit adorable no homo.

Truly in union with each other and the Holy Spirit. Both incredibly warm, friendly, and you could tell at peace.

>>41028304
Hitler had a gf though

>>41028302
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it

>>41028564
It's more of a trad meme, X/Twitter take that the man has a role and the woman has a role in a marriage. Sort of logical continuation of the idea that the husband is the leader and the wife follows, so your not really friends, since friends would imply some give and take when it comes to important decisions. It's based on the idea that she is your wife, not your friend. I get the logic, but it's not what I'm after.
I would genuinely want to spend time with her because I liked her, and enjoyed the time together.
I'm not against Christians here, just against the social media influencer christians.

With this new way of thinking I've tested it on some of the videos I see on YT, or tik tok clips with women, and the clarity it brings is surprising me. Would I even want to be around you? So far its been 95% no.

Day 14, though I haven't voluntarily viewed porn since high school. Honestly I think I'm too retarded to gain spiritual insight from abstinence; I've always deemed myself dull and unaware. Maybe a step above normalfags, if that.
Anyways, increases in energy (mental and physical) are about it. I guess less social anxiety too. I'll keep the streak up for now; reaffirming control over my animalistic desires is liberating.

The urge for sexual gratification:
Ever fed, never satisfied.
Never fed, ever satisfied.

But that is correct, has been correct for hundreds and hundreds of years and will remain so for hundreds of years to come.

That's called a partnership, anon, not a friendship

You obviously don't, and I'm not even Christian but you are super confused about relationships and marriage.

>>41028771
No

Then it's normal, your body is auto-regulating itself.
If it makes you feel better restart your streak but the accepted concept in the thread is that when it is spontaneous it does not count as a relapse.

But Jesus is our friend and also our Lord

Some sexual thought during the night, but shooed them like you would drive smoke away.
Kid is awake, gotta go.
Have a nice day everyone. Stay strong.

Being around others is the primary way. You can't look at porn around others. Others also keep you accountable. You don't feel the need to gap all the time because your social needs are being met. I think the primary reason for PMO is loneliness. The Bible calls celibacy a gift but also states that it is not good for a man to be alone.

They do, hell onr even showed interest. Thing is I'm in college, and my college has the incredible skill of collecting every girl under a 5. Majority of them look, act and dress like Mable Pines from Gravity Falls. The college is rural and on the peak of a mountain, so what girls attend here is all I get, and i don't have a car cause I paid for a few semesters out of pocket (Fasfa was late). Its a Christian college too, so every woman that isn't a 5 and/or doesn't act like Mable Pines is married by the end of sophomore year (we have a joke of the three nines: 9 months dating, 9 months engagement, 9 months till child.) Basically I'm in a really bad spot to try to find someone. I wish I can deactivate my desire for someone until I leave this place, but alas.

I am not confused and what you wrote is exactly what ive seen a hundred times before. You are not correct, what you wrote is not original and its exactly what I was trying to avoid getting into. An edgy teenager could have written this.

1 year, 3 months. Some advice:

This site is awful due to the rampant usage of pornography and sexual images to attract people into threads. One of the best things anyone can do here is to leave this forum.

You can’t entertain thoughts of sexual activity, or day dream about sex, and then act surprised when you still have wet dreams at night. You have to take control back from your mind. Govern it at all times. Don’t give it fuel to think about degenerate things during the day. Don't DESIRE sex during the day and you won’t during the night either.

Finally, I vividly recall my last relapse before this streak started because it was so bad. I drank a ton, gooned, didn’t eat well, became dehydrated, and in the morning my mind and body were both completely fucked, but I want to focus on the damage to the mind.

My mind was FRAGMENTED. Everything I had ever heard or seen in life was whirling around in my head without any control or logic to it. A hurricane of thoughts, feelings and pure fear. I was extremely agitated, uncomfortable and I couldn’t even lay in bed comfortably to recover.

That wasn’t just the alcohol. I had lost my vital essence which must be the grounding force for the mind. SR results in a calm, quiet mind with a strong shield around it against negative thoughts and illogical worrying. I don’t know how else to describe this but it is what it is.

True. Chronic fapping is probably one of the worst things anyone can do, it's literally like malware for your brain or something

day 5 of nofap september and still no gf. You lied to me, /x/. But on day one me and my crush wore matching band tshirts, I didn't even know she liked iron maiden or ate at the snack store I went that day. I also went there later than the usual because I was on foot

Honestly sounds like you're in a great situation. Make the most of it.

1 year of SR

Last night, I had a sex dream that I can't stop thinking about. Was so hot.

This is what triggered it (I think) - I had a late-night pizza and beer with friends. Usually I eat light at night time and sleep like a baby. Last night I was tossing and turning and kept waking up with dry-mouth (from the sodium).

Always essential to watch what you eat, friends.

You don't have to reset your streak if you have a full on wet dream. It's not as bad as masturbating to lustful thoughts and porn in terms of the ojas that's given up.

Not always, but it does a good job of doing that.

Part of the problem with porn and the media in general is that it blows out beauty standards by exposing people to extremely attractive people they wouldn't be exposed to otherwise.

Unrealistic expectations cause men to be unwilling to settle - that's just as big a problem as women being unwilling to settle.

There's a hack, though. Oxytocin can morph your perception of beauty. Just find a girl you actually enjoy talking to. When touch starts happening Oxytocin - the bonding hormone is released. Oxytocin is what causes a new mother to see her baby as the most beautiful thing in the world, even if it's an objectively ugly baby. Oxytocin escalates with more intimate touch, peaking with intercourse, BUT orgasm should be avoided since it dispels the effects of Oxytocin, as well the dopamine level gets lower every time you orgasm with a woman.
