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

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

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

Keep in mind that the efferent nerves attached to your testes means that any lustful thought, image, or sound is 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 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 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).

"Returning fire to (it's) origin." Used to calm sexual energy, obtrusive thoughts etc. 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.

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.

Bros.. theres been a lot of posts lately of people with long streaks and no benefits, post some hopium it is already hard enough to retain. Wheres the benefit posts?

self control is not a benefit?
if theres something you have complete control over, have the desire to do so, and still struggle with it, how is overcoming that not a benefit?

>>41032248 (OP)
Accurate graph.

first time hitting a 2 week streak, counting the days really makes a difference, at least on the beginning

>>41032461
the best hopium is to start your own benefits journal. day to day, you might just have normal days and forget the benefits because it becomes your new normal. but when you read back and you review experiences you know you wouldn't have had without SR, that's when it adds up. currently on 200 something days, now trying to puritymax with zero porn and zero online lust

>>41032461
Retaining helps you let go of attachments and naturally flow with the source energy of the world, God.
If you ever felt like a spirit trapped in a human body that wants to break free, or that there's something missing from your life, this is your chance to reconnect with the divine light and get out of the darkness.

>>41032461
When you start retaining, all the time you spend gooning and lusting is suddenly unnecessary leaving you with a lot of free time. The longer you wait to make use of it the more you get used to that habit (being lazy/non-productive/etc). People don't just randomly say that this practice energizes, fuel or even powers them up. Then you have to think the following: What does it power up?

When you level up you allocate your skill and attribute points. Same thing here. When you level up; life becomes easier, you try face harder challenges.

Anyone else have trouble sleeping on clean streak?

Also, full moon soon which makes it worse -_-

>Bros.. theres been a lot of posts lately of people with long streaks and no benefits, post some hopium it is already hard enough to retain. Wheres the benefit posts?

I've posted here and there in some of the past threads mostly from a couple months ago and am currently working on a write up so I can just copy paste everything once its finished detailing long term benefits, processes, and what is required beyond SR. Just have a little more patience. Its getting long though so I may have to edit some as well although I don't want to.

Tons of supernatural effects, experiences & benefits.

Christian Monk/Mystic Edition. I simply follow the way, the life, and the truth that is Lord Jesus Christ.

I've been practicing SR for almost just over 9.5 years and am nearing around 3 years on my current streak. I don't count the exact days. About a dozen total orgasms in that decade time frame mostly early on from nocturnal emissions which I have found remedy to now.

Those posts are either demoralization shills or people who are doing the bare minimum which is JUST physically refraining from orgasm/ejaculation.

>>41032593
>almost just over 9.5 years

Almost a decade, just over 9.5 years.* Probably 9 years and 8 or 9 months to pinpoint more

>>41032593
can you share your benefits?

I've commited a great sin against my partner. I finished the relationship and will pay for her therapy. I feel no longer human. She forgave me but I just let lust run wild and now she is gone. That event was on 5 days of retention, I know that if my streak was longer this would not have happened. We were drunk and high and we danced all night. I think I'm gonna become permanently celibate. May God have mercy on me

If anyone has any advice or help on permanent celibacy I would greatly appreciate it

>>41032704
lmao what on earth did you do?
sr shouldn't turn you into a demon

>>41032593
i see posts like this from time to time... but they never come back with their "write up".. never post their benefits, etc

>>41032738
We were having sex with no condom, she asked me to put one on and I told her to shut up while pinning her hands. Stopped at around 10 seconds I think. We went to sleep after that.

>>41032755
That doesn't seem like something that would cause a break-up plus therapy. Stuff like that happens in every relationship

Day 23. Had a great night's sleep, was the most productive at work by far amongst my coworkers, and made them all laugh throughout the whole day. I was in a complete flow state throughout the day. I just got past 2-3 days of flatline, expecting it to last longer but I'm clearly out of it now. The benefits are real.

>>41032746

I will. Its possible it was me who said that in a previous thread. I've been organizing the information for maybe 3 or 4 weeks roughly. Mostly in my mind and the last two weeks actually writing it out.

>>41032653
I can post an image though of some old replies with some decent information I tried to tag you can find in the archives

I tried to post the tags so people could easily read them and find the threads but it always says its spam no matter how I reformat. If you are willing type in the numbers from the reply on 4plebs archive and go through the thread. I think one was from end of june or so.

Otherwise the thread will be coming soon. Maybe a week or just a little more.

>>41032248 (OP)
there is nothing wrong about wet dreams

85 days on SR checking in. Only peeked once like 3 weeks ago, other than that has been a clean streak.

>>41032996

It can be an indication of spiritual attacks/succubi or a result of entertaining lust in the mind or heart both of which can lead to nocturnal emissions which set you back. Its a warning sign & problem.

>meditation
I never got this. I do perfectly fine without sitting somewhere for an extended period of time and thinking.

>>41033276
The same could be said for female attraction often reported by SR practicers. They usually try to find a scientific explanation but if the devil sees you walking away from sexual degeneracy he's going to send succubus after you. Usually, demonic influence begins with sexual degeneracy.

>>41033295
What happens if you're evil-aligned and do semen retention anyway? Does God come in and cleanse the person? Or do they just get an energy boost?

Day 10. Floating the thought of quitting vaping, but I worry that the withdrawal symptoms will make SR too difficult. I've quit several times in the past, for as long as 9 months. I'm not really sure how to describe it, I guess nicotine makes me feel more "grounded" in reality. I become more aware of my present surroundings and less impulsive.
I also go to the gym and practice cardio four days per week.
It appears that vaping (both nicotine and nicotine-free liquid) decereases the body's available testosterone, and lowers the total sperm count and longevity of it. No good for SR, huh?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10053939/

daily reminder to ignore the detractors and demoralisation attempts... the benefits from SR speak for themselves... nuff said.

>>41033311
No wonder vaping makes you feel grounded. Because, you are in a constant withdrawal and the nicotine makes you feel normal again. But please don't think about quitting. Either you don't vape or you do. Put yourself in one category and stick with it, there is no fence sitting allowed here.

>>41033311
>doing drugs

>>41033329
The people saying there aren’t any benefits likely never make it to 90 days+ or are engaging in other vices like drinking or drugs.

>>41033311
>Day 10
If you can make it 10 days without nicotine that is usually the turning point. Good luck, anon. Nobody needs nicotine, men were Jew'd into thinking it's good to take this. It's not, the guys who smoke at my work are cranky, scatter-brain, disappointing examples of men. Nicotine robs you of your ability to sit still in peace.

>>41032461
Recently had four month streak, benefits were profound. Had two wet dreams and coomed twice with a girl now gonna ride the wave again forever ideally

>>41032593
Image and post are insanely based. Hope you post it soon and I don’t miss it anon

>>41032941
Tagging the posts with a single > should work

Is caffeine okay?

>>41033329
The benefits: You get to live younger and healthier
The cons: No gooning
I don't doubt that semen retention does work for its intended purpose, but I find it hard for a hedonist pessimist like myself. Longest I've gone without jerking it is a month and that relapse was one of the most blissful orgasms of my life. Like a weight was lifted, and I just kept shooting out cum like crazy.

>>41033618
Caffeine is a drug. A stimulant so no. Quit drinking that crap

Gonna kick off my streak with a three day water fast

>>41033672
Stop saying what you plan on doing and just fucking do it

Been on some long streaks for the last couple years. I coomed like 5 times today, and I did last Friday as well. Feels pretty bad, of course. I was stressed out, in a lot of pain mentally and emotionally. I eventually caved, I wanted to feel good even if for a moment. It's the lethargy that lasts for days afterward that gets to me. I'm not as young as I used to be, I really notice it now. There is the shame, too. I'm not just your average fapper. I hate my predilections. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

>>41033709
He's not going to do it. He won't make it to three days. Water fasting is a meme, it's all bullshit. Just eat a well balanced diet.

Yeah, you are, right from the start you went on the defensive because you wanted validation.
I'm sorry if I touched a nerve as it's clear I did but it be like that even if you don't like it, you're free to live your life as you want though.

>>41033775
I'm not a fat boy like you. The key is to only eat when truly hungry and make sure you're only 80% of the way to feeling full. The more you try to restrict yourself, the less you will get accomplished.

Gonna take a break from the thread for a while, I'll post back when I'm at day 40 or 50. Between the demoralizer shills, the moralizer tryhards, and the off chance I click over to /gif/, it's just not worth it. Good luck to (you) retainers out there. I'll be back in two weeks or so.

>>41033618
Yes. Its called semen retention not caffeine retention.

>>41033905

>>41033750
I ignore if they are archons or not but it seems as more reditards infiltrate 4chan you see more and more retarded takes, the whole water/dry fasting doesn't work meme has been floating around /x/ for a while, which is like wtf isn't this place supposed to be about spiritual practices?

Like over a month in & reminded of how the Limbo phase is truly worse than being on a binge. Everything just sucks and you don’t want to do anything but be alone

I'm meditating 20 minutes a day (not super good at it but maybe i'll improve), taking only cold showers, letting go of/crushing any lustful thoughts when they arise instead of entertaining them. Eating several fruits a day, high protein, lots of vegetables and healthy fats sometimes with meat. No porn, no masturbation, no orgasm, no lustful thoughts causing erections.
What else should I add to increase my odds? I'm doing everything I can think of to make retention work for potential benefits, wanna make sure I'm not missing anything

>>41034497
You really can't half ass SR at all. You have to be fully committed. No excuses.

>>41033292
meditation has nothing to do with thinking

>>41033311
vaping is probably almost as gay as reddit or crypto

>didn't peek nor fantasize at all

AAAAAAAAA

Can someone post the wojak day tracker chart? The one with the yellow background.

Semen retention makes sense if you had your own house to take a women in. That isn't the case with the current economy. Nobody can afford anything these days.

semen retention makes sense if you have a race war to participate in

I'm on month 3. I feel happier. I don't get mad as much. I don't feel sad as often. I am overall better.
But there's this emptiness in my soul now. A feeling of no purpose. Is this normal?

>>41034900
your internal metals are prepared for the great change which is procreating if you have a wife or raiding adjacent and distant tribes to claim spoils and potentially a mate
unfortunately society is broken because of every variety of nigger being present everywhere with neo liberal values
so you are left idling with extremely dense metals and no way to use them aside from slavery to the great ancient evil which we are fortunately slowly destroying

semen retention makes sense if you're not a poor nigger

semen retention makes sense if you need to physically and psychologically dominate schizophrenic niggers

>>41033528

I love the image as well. Christ is the Lord. I will title the thread "Semen Retention General- Christian Mystic Edition" when I make it so you can either look for that in the near future or simply type that into the archives to search for it in the future if you think you missed it.

>>41033611

Thanks I'll test that with the tagged replies from that image in this thread tomorrow sometime to see if it works

8 days clean.
Something strange happened yesterday evening.
I played some video games (Landnama) while my daughter and wife were sleeping. Landnama games are short, so after 30 minutes or so I went to sleep.
When I laid down, I had an immediate rock-hard erection.
I really don't know why it happened. Can't be the game itself (look it up), and I had absolutely no sexual thought all day.
Is it the leisure itself ? How to prevent this from happening ?

>>41032584
Initially you could have some trouble. Three years ago I did a long streak of a few months. I had trouble but I also had to take into account that at the time I went through some personal things and I also drank a lot of coffee where I worked.

I'm currently on a long streak where I have to get up early for work and it shifted my sleep patterns drastically. I used to go to sleep past twelve but due to my job I'm so tired that I go to bed before ten.

I've also figured since coffee changes how tired you feel. I've made the rule: No coffee after twelve in the evening.

>>41035046
Your brain was busy during the videogame session, blood was rushing to your head, not your dick. It's common knowledge that the smarter you are, the less horny you are. Why? Because smarter people use more brain power, all the blood is continuously rushing to the brain. Stupid people behave like animals because they don't think. This also why they have more sex.

Also,
>random erections is le bad
This is simply a way of your body telling you "Hey, you alright? Go find a wife bro!!". It's perfectly normal. I have no idea why it's frowned upon in these threads. You fuckers can bitch about shills but you do sure make it easy with all these retarded statements huh? Anyway.

>>41035118
You are bad at this.
>the smarter you are, the less horny you are
I don't think so.
>>random erections is le bad
It"s not the erection itself but the blue balls that may follow, especially after months of retention.

>>41035118
>le bad

Or you could compile it in a text and post it as a link to some anonymous downloader, or both.
Tags might not work for everybody because a lot use the default 4chan ui, which will stop working when the thread gets pruned, and there's been cases of 4chan, or the archives, or both going offline at once.

God Bless, my brother in Christ.

Can't even complete 3 full days. Just lost on 2.5

there's interesting post in another thread:

>>41035388

>2. Semen retention crowd on /x/ is twisted and what was initially a care for moderation and reminder to pursue greater things rather than cheap dopamine hits, became - ironically enough - a circlejerk for spiritually and socially stunted people like >>41035292 to feel superior and delude themselves that the secret to greatness is merely a cheat of not stroking their penis, because it's easy compared to actual effort of lifelong practice and facing uncomfortable truths to refine one's own character and spirit.
what /srg/ thinks about it? it kinda hurts but anon is also kinda right - too many people are in it just greedily expecting superpowers with no other practice (>>41032461 mentions it) and too many anons became self-absorbed jerks about the whole thing.
i worry we went in the wrong direction, praising benefits too much, teaching no perspective and drawing scum to /srg/.

I know this a somewhat common symptom, But after a while I'm just procrastinating for a long time,
I feel like I can't concentrate on anything, and even though I'm not horny, there is that urge in the back of my mind, like wanting to high off feeling horny
normally I would just jack off be done with it, but instead I'm wasting around

>>41035422 goal is to have control your emotions like you have over your hands and fingers, of course when you have such a control over your mind (responsible for lust), you will have lot of powers, it's not beneficial if you reach a year but you are repressing and can relapse at any moment. I'm learning, this is my understanding of this at this moment

>>41035422
adding to that, majority of posts in here and reddit subreddits are made by midwits, they will midwitise any topic, I bet majority here have not even read a single book recommended in the threads. If you are little intelligent you'll gather all the information needed and start your own journey of research and experiments and you don't need others opinions

>>41035451
>goal is to have control your emotions like you have over your hands and fingers
You won't get that from semen retention. Lust is a small and often not even very prominent part of various peoplr's lives.
>of course when you have such a control over your mind (responsible for lust), you will have lot of powers
Holding back from indulging lust will train basic discipline. It's beneficial but on its own it won't give you too much control over your own mind nor give you any powers. You overestimate yourself and how far-reaching the effects of semen retention are.

Which makes >>41035422 right - too many anons just praised it to high heavens to convince as many anons as they could and created unrealistic expectations for semeb retention alone. Even OP's "Why do it?" benefits random anons reported others take as guaranteed benefits if they'll just abstain long enough - even if they'll do nothing else with their lives.

Without it being part of greater self-refinement practice, semen retention won't give you any spiritual development. It may still be healthy, but people saying it'll give them powers are coping - if it'd be this easy, any asexual, libidoless or observing celibacy for whatever reason person (and there's quite a feq of those, due to religious or ideological reasons) would be a magical superhuman. They aren't.

>>41035474
>adding to that, majority of posts in here and reddit subreddits are made by midwits
Sometimes it saddens me how common that is (and worried how much I may be responsible for it myself).

I had the worst urges on day 4 today and I relapsed. I hate this.
I've been working out daily as well but it looks like I am not pushing myself enough.
I'm gonna push even further working out.

>>41034859
Sure.

>>41034703
If you still drink caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol, STOP.

Also, you might want to give microcosmic orbit a try for sexual transmutation.

Pray.. go on long walks

It's crazy how when you're on a flatline,
All these negative posts really speak to you... and tempt you to quit

Be gone, Satan!

>>41033723
Nah. Fasting is good for you, it resets your body so it can actually rest from constantly digesting food and finally heal itself. Also makes parasites seethe and die lol

>>41034900
>there's this emptiness in my soul now. A feeling of no purpose.
With this newfound potential that has formed from SR you naturally long for a use of this potential but have no outlet. Find one, I suggest serving the Lord. He will definitely make the best use of any potential you have. Accept him today, he loves you very much!

>>41035427
You just put in to words something I've experienced a lot. The longer a streak goes, the more it can consume your life, and because there are constant urges, the only thing that keeps you from relapsing is focusing on how long your streak is and reading SR posts, etc. Like, watching a movie or whatever, that just starts to bore me. I think the issue is not being truly distracted. If you're THINKING about SR too much, and about how you're not using porn, is there really no porn in your life?

>>41035118
lmao holy fuck this can't be a real person
you are so fucking dumb

SRG general is for beginners. the reading list gets your feet moving in the right direction. if you spend 7 minutes using google you can find some more advanced resources. these generals barely scratch the surface. they've also gone dramatically downhill in the last 6 months. but everyone has to start somewhere. the 4chan arrogance is unfortunate however, most people here are spiritually corrupt and live toxic lives.

I broke after a month. I didn't notice anything really durring the time, but the orgasim alone was a billion times fucking better than when I was constantly jacking off so I'm still counting it as win.

>>41036122
So go for another 30 days

Is there such a thing as SR-induced Mania?

>>41036117
got any reading recommendations?

With porn you get massive hits of Dopamine - the reward neurochemical - for doing basically nothing.
Dopamine is supposed to motivate you to do productive things, but the reward you feel for doing those things is greatly eclipsed by the porn Dopamine hit, so they don't feel worth doing.

It takes a couple months of clean streak to reset, and you will start to regain sensitivity to those smaller Dopamine doses and regain motivation.

>>41036172
accurate. and what people don't realize is that a normal dopamine pathway should motivate you to take risks (like asking a woman out), because we need the concept of great reward to take great risks.

in essence, porn ruins your entire life through this mechanism alone.

Guys why do shithead redditors constantly try to dispute this. Every fucking thread for SR on Reddit is "UMMM AKTUALLY THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC BASIS!" And "ITS MORE UNHEALTHY TO LET SEMEN BUILD"

Only thing I can think is that they're just retarded hedonists. A lot of the accounts as well are women so I also theorize they don't like men actually learning discipline and restraint.

I know from experience it makes me more productive and even if I do coom after a month or two the orgasm is like I've ascended so it's a fucking win-win.

>>41036188
desu I wouldn't be surprised if they were all bots working for specific agendas you know

>>41036188
there is something about reddit that is inescapably NPCish. it doesn't matter which community I go to, they just instantly default to whatever the hivemind says. must be the public downvotes/upvotes.

why does abstaining from cooming make me want to lift weights? i don't get it

>>41036237
the noncoomer yearns for the struggle

>>41036188
There is no scientific evidence that sr and nofap work. You will have to accept that and in general it has always been more spiritual and mental than a physical journey. They also have a large overlap with more conservative values so you have nu-nazis treating sr and nofap as puritan movements and use it as more proof to hyper deamonize sexuality and sex when both are mainly about not being addicted to porn and sex and tryinf to get back to a normal life style.

>>41036188
>Only thing I can think is that they're just retarded hedonists.
well yeah, they're redditors

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

said about 2,000 years ago

>>41036315
This alone should prove to anyone that watching porn is satanic and antichrist

I have a high body count (80+), and now, as I approach one year on SR, I'm trying to make sense of what those girls meant to me.

Were they just tools I used for masturbation? Or am I spiritually connected to them now?

>>41036205
to be fair there is also plenty of bots on 4chan now

>>41036050
>The longer a streak goes, the more it can consume your life, and because there are constant urges, the only thing that keeps you from relapsing is focusing on how long your streak is and reading SR posts
That does not happen though, the longer the streak the less intensity the urges have and the easier it becomes to keep focused on something else. If after a 6 months or 1 year streak you are still spending the whole day in your bed looking at the roof that's a situation you need to take care of.

SR is cool but the constant use of wojak infographics make me feel like these threads are made by brown people.

>>41036764
there are no white people on 4chan anymore.
this entire site is brown people

>>41035422
>a circlejerk for spiritually and socially stunted people like >>41035292(Cross-thread) to feel superior and delude themselves
That anon is right, it attracts a lot of bizarre characters, all sorts of relicucks that take it as a platform for preaching, shady ones trying to mislead anons genuinely interested in seeing if there is something more to life that wasting it away in a pmo binge, it's become cultish also because you see a lot of people using it to feel better about themselves and even superior amongst the rest.
What can you do? That is the nature of every single frigging human agglomeration.
>>41035516
>too many anons just praised it to high heavens to convince as many anons as they could and created unrealistic expectations for semeb retention alone.
I've been consistently attacked on this threads for trying to keep it grounded and realistic and for insisting it has nothing to do with religion or cults, who knew there was something to it, and a lot of the shit is not organic either.
In the end the best thing every person can do is what this anon suggests >>41035474 and just gather the most valuable information and start their own journeys, and that applies to pretty much all things in life.

Are you all enjoying your fake CIA mysticism?

>>41036833
>the CIA wants you to stop watching porn
lol good one

Nice frog picture, you really tricked me. Retard

Currently just caffeine, I stopped drinking alcohol many months ago and feel much better for it. I'll think about caffeine, I've heard bad stuff about consuming it for blood flow to the brain. Never smoked or did any nicotine stuff before.

>>41032248 (OP)
Had a thought today. The devil has such an easy job. All it takes is a few glances from women to bribe retainers into staying obsessed with the material. Make yourselves more expensive to possess at the very least.

>>41036794
Guys feeling powerful for the first time in their lives with only one place to release their autis-manic thoughts will make these threads very retarded. I don’t judge. There’s a reason the successful among us only stop by from time to time. You can only get joy out of this place by having it already and giving the site enough space for it to remain novel.

>>41035643
Thanks fren

>>41035643
7 days a level is more in tune with the calendar

>>41037592
I know this chart can be a bit discouraging because after two whole weeks of not jerking off you are still well with the depraved coomer stage. This is not inaccurate though because in reality the first 30 days ain’t shit in terms of SR. It also shows you how steep the climb back up can be after you fall, so it reminds one not to relapse.

>>41037654
just add more levels

>>41037661
no my point is that the levels aren’t wrong.
