Welcome to the Semen Retention General!
NO NUT NOVEMBER IS UPON US!!!!
>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.

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

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

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

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

my urges to relapse are stronger when I fail at something, never when I succeed.

>>41467655
That’s because your using masturbation to deal with negative emotions.

I had a wet dream and ejaculated a really tiny amount. Is my streak over?

>>41467655
I've noticed that while retaining luck is generally true, you can't, and shouldn't "win them all". SR does however affect my tenacity and my ability to bounce back and actually learn and improve from failure, which is it's purpose as designed by God.

Technically yes, as you had a release of semen. But some people will say no because you can't control what your body does. Its up to you if you choose to restart your timer, but you did release semen no matter how you look at it. You have to learn to take control of your dreams. When the dream starts turning sexual either tell the dream you to lock in or wake up, anything is better than ruining your streak

i didnt coom for 5 days in total, till all of a sudden i became too concious of my balls and then someone posted a random hoe in a thread, i just had to do it.
afterwards i gooned for 12 hours since i ruined my streak and there was no need to hold back
somehow the porn that i was gooning off was the most deranged than it ever was.

SR is demonic because by depraving yourself, you begin overflowing with passion.
if you dont release your semen to porn, you would be forced to have sex with some aids infested whore

maybe its healthy to release your semen when the urges arise
cooming also lowers your stress and its good for your hair

That other anon is accurate, but don't worry about it too much. I'm on a long streak and even with pretty clean thoughts all day, I have had a couple nocturnal emissions.
One of the main goals in SR is to break out of the thought loops/demonic influence that is the consumption of pornography and masturbation, and these thought forms bury themselves deeply in your subconscious.
It's something that needs to work it's way out of there, slowly. Relapsing because you are frustrated will just prolong, if not stop, this process.
My most difficult urges as of lately, (20+ days) are when I have an emission. It is, in my opinion, a demonic attack tempting me to throw away my progress made by making it seem pointless/hopeless.

As for streak counting, there are basically two schools of thought broadly: counting or not counting and from there it can be tailored to your liking. Discussion of these topics can be found many times in the archive.
Generally, make your process work for you, don't work for it. Figure out if it feels right for you to consider your streak over or not. Other anons do many different things that work for them individually.
