    What is Semen Retention?
    Semen retention is the practice of abstaining from ejaculation for extended periods, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting sexual energy. It originates from various spiritual, philosophical, and cultural traditions. The idea is that abstaining from ejaculation can lead to increased vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. While there isn’t a lot of scientific research (hard topic to do studies on) on the topic*, there are tons of personal accounts. Therefore, the only sure way to find out is trying it out for yourself.
    Reported benefits include, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy*, improved focus, healthier hair/skin, deeper meditation, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, and more.

    * https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12659241/ - study that proves test levels are affected by SR. Average peak in test levels was 145%, one subjects test levels was raised 197%. However it has no data on what happens after week 3-4 and after that.
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17268169/ - study that explores how mating until satisfaction affects the brains of male rats and their sexual behavior. (coom =“numb”androgen receptors = body unable to “register” testosterone as effectively as it should)

    How to Practice It?
    >No porn – do not watch porn whatsoever.
    >Remove triggers from your life.
    >Productive acts - clean, cook
    >Creative acts: Art/Music/Writing/Crafts. It can be anything that makes you feel like you’re being creative.
    >Light meditation. Try minimum of 5 minutes to start off.
    >Walk everyday. 10-15 minute walks should be a good start.
    >Gym/Sports/Martial Arts

    >In case of urges:
    - https://imgur.com/a/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

    Going into day 4. Physical energy is slowly starting to come back. Depressive mood lightening. The first day after a goon is always the worst. The difference between day 1 and day 21 are pretty significant. Lets go boys! Keep going into the next month strong.

    NNN is two days away, but i will start now anyway. Any tips for urges late at night? The urges were so strong that I couldint sleep, I was aroused for hours, that's how I failed last time.
    >>
    Day 13

    I was on a 40+ day streak and I then I had a wet dream. The reason I had that dream and lost was because I did not believe fully enough in my own willpower. The purpose is not to attract women, or to have a higher testosterone, the purpose is to devote all energy into doing the work of God. That is what I was not fully aligned with. Remember that God loves you and believes in you.

    In any case, doing better now. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

    You must thug it out. The bed is a dangerous place.
    What helps me is getting into bed when I'm sufficiently tired. Like eyelids-getting-glued-together tired. Minimize awake time in bed and thug it out.

    You don't have to thug it out. It's one way to fight it, sure, but you can also exert much less effort. Try https://urgesurfing.com/audio-downloads/
    Download the mp3 and listen to it. It's an 8-minute-long guided meditation about urge surfing. Might provide some insight.

    lasted 10 days then got horny and couldn't get the stomach and kidney pain away, I very nearly had a wet dream (i literally saw myself climax in the dream) and succumbed later in the day.

    I immediately felt depressed afterwards, not out of guilt but just pure neurochemistry. A huge flood of dopamine followed by a crash, it's literally like doing fentanyl (from what I've heard, never done it myself).
    The day after was pretty bad, it was hard to keep my head high and my chest out and all other good habits began lacking. Now it's day 2 and I've learned my lesson.
    >>
    >>43147315
    I have done fentanyl (medically induced maximum dosage) and its nothing like you are describing. Fentanyl hits you literally the second it goes through the IV. You go from normal to what feels like you are floating outside of your body. If you have ever had Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) its very similar in feeling but a whole lot stronger and less like a floating head feeling and more of an escape from your body. You feel really good for about 30 minutes with the high wearing off rapidly. First couple minutes are the best and it gradually wears off until you are asking for more an hour in. Never had a crash feeling but definitely wanted more.

    I will say the dopamine is pretty similar though. If there was a drug that could mimic an orgasm with the half life like fentanyl has, every man in the world would fry their brains until they were retarded. Fentanyl wins because you get a crazy 5 minutes. Drag the peak of an orgasm out 5 minutes and our society would grind to a halt.

    I think one relapse sets you back at least 3 months.

    >>43147404
    Yeah, the binding to human opioid receptors from these substances are the strongest known to man. That's why most people who develop an addiction to them would rather forego sex just to get their next hit, even absolute horndogs. It goes to show that you don't need sex like you think you do, just your body tricking you to reproduce

    I suddenly got an energy boost around day 30 and been using it to get shit done around here, I don't even need to eat anymore, But those aren't the real reason I'm nofapping. My dick resumed growing today from all my self-hypnosis and it'll only keep growing as long as I don't cum. Just a couple more months of semen retention and I'll finally reach 24" inches like I've always wanted.

    I'm a dad, 33, and pretty active. busy with work. but still have a bad porn habit. I want to be a better father and husband so i am going on noporn nofap.

    I think i went for 2 weeks. then i kept getting an antsy feeling, really weird. my wifes body held me in a trance once. i guess thats just normal attraction. but i ended up releasing cause of instagram reels.

    When I released it was like someone took a brand new bottle of shampoo and cut it in half with scissors and turned both ends upside down. everything was covered in semen, it just kept gooping out. i swept and shook what i could into the toilet and took a shower.

    I didn't feel as 'empty' as i did when i had my habitual goons but i won't do it again.

    What is really new to me is noporn. I have a nightly ritual where I look at boobs. And now when everyones asleep, wifes retired to the bedroom, and i have my computer time, i find myself with suddenly nothing to do. Games are kind of hollow, my old buddies are kinda dumb and we dont have much in common anymore. Shitposting also lost its lustre a long time ago. So I find myself just kind of playing a game by habit.

    But what I noticed is that when I played this game again, I started diving deeper into strategizing within it, and I caught on that this is actually an effect of giving up one of my giant vices. With no boobs to look at, I have energy, but since I have not honed it I devote it to this game.

    Anyways, I am old so games dont hold me so I already kind of walked away from it.

    To add ot this, one of my other big vices up until recently was online shopping. I have some hobbies but you can't really call it hobbies - I just buy parts and trinkets. Before I gave up porn I gave this up first, and the last couple paychecks have only been used on groceries and household necessities. I make a good amt of money so seeing the money stack up is kind of new to me.

    The thesis of it all is a kind of 'carefulness.' I started to see my resources as very finite.

    It helps but not necessarily. The problem with a lot of guys, especially here, who don't have much interaction with women is not knowing what they're actually attracted to. What makes a woman actually interested in a man. If you think that holding in your semen in any way makes you more attractive then just be honest with yourself - you don't know and you're lost. Physical appearance is one of those things, but men project what they find attractive onto women thinking women find the same things attractive in men. Newsflash: they don't. It helps if you have sisters, but if you don't have platonic female friends around you who talk openly about this kinda stuff you'll be lost and bet on holding your semen for years and still be single. sorry bros just honest

    Its funny how people think that pheremones aren't released or that your face cannot change.The cat parasite Toxoplasmosis Gondi which can infect cat owners has the ability to infect its host and alter facial muscles to the point people rate the host higher in looks of attractiveness. I dont think its too crazy to think that being a depleted gooner will alter your facial structure. For pheremones humans are approximately 200,000 times more sensitive to the smell of petrichor (rain compounds) than sharks are to blood. Women and men can probably subconsciously pick up on this stuff from the smell.

    These are just small examples. Your tonality probably changes, gait changes, eye contact and alertness, the eyes themselves, posture, etc etc. These are just some physical things. Spiritually God likes when his children are obedient and not giving into the desires of the flesh. Semen retention is a spiritual act of obedience, and a physical act of self control. There are benefits to not being a depleted gooner like 98% of men. At this point I think theres more evidence for this, than against this. Arguing against it is cope for people that know its one of the hardest habits they will ever try to break.

    The spiritual is much more than the physical, but both are a pretty brutal combo. When I was on dating apps I remember getting much more matches and conversations while retained. How would they know?

    How do I stop wet dreams? Every couple of weeks I wake up as I'm cumming in my pants and I have to clean everything up at fucking 3AM. I don't want to wear a fucking diaper because of SR. Any solution for this?
    >>
    >>43151556
    You’re absolutely right. I’ve never made it past a month without hooking up with someone. Only problem now is I don’t want to hook up with whores anymore and need to find a wife. I was also baptized recently and want to follow Jesus so I never want to watch porn again.

    Hey, 23. 2 years ago I stopped porn for more than 7 months and did nofap for more than 1 month. But I fell ill and quit. Now im starting back. Im at week 2 now.

    >>43151764
    what works it speaking out loud (important to speak it), that you do not permit yourself to ejaculate or have a nocturnal emission. Since you're already on SR, your subconscious is more sensitive that a coomer's, and it would take your decree seriously even in sleep. Whenever you make the decree, you might find yourself saying "nope", in the dream when it wants to happen, you you simply wake

    I'm somewhere between 25-30 days in. With the grace of God I finally passed three weeks, something I've been struggling for years. Any advice?
    >>
    >>43151556
    98% of men aren't coomers. That's just you projecting. 24% of men have not masturbated in the last year and another 8% that have never masturbated at all:
    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9794105/

    >Arguing against it is cope for people that know its one of the hardest habits they will ever try to break.
    It's cope to think that you not getting women is due to your cooming habits. It's actually the other way around - the reason you coom is because you're not getting laid. And another reason you believe this is because you falsely attribute women to having a morally superior higher ground / authority, hence their supernatural ability to 'detect your energy and pheromones' and realize that you are indeed a high quality guy for not fapping. Chances are, if you think that your problem with not attracting women is that you masturbate too much, I can almost guarantee that the reason you don't get women is because you're shy and / or incredibly boring, not because you didn't retain for x amount of days. Ask yourself that question and be honest with yourself. You're the type of guy to freeze up when talking to a girl because you have absolutely no clue what to talk about, because you're boring.

    If you do SR you do it for you and / or God, not for attraction, period.
    >>
    >>43151566
    Can you smell retention on other men? Your intuitive senses are actually much sharper than a woman's, but you've been taught to believe otherwise and give up your perception of energy and spiritual acuity to believe the opposite. For instance, you can easily spot a bad dude but the woman won't. Or if you have a gf, and she goes out with her girlfriends wearing revealing clothing. You intuitively know that she's signaling sexual availability, whereas she'll gaslight you to believe that you are controlling and insecure. And in her conscious mind, she'll think she's not, but her subconscious is executing a mating strategy.

    On top of that, women also tend to clump all men in a singular category as some type of hivemind (unless you're Chad), whereas men see each woman as a separate entity with her own thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.

    not sure if it has anything to do with retention, but yesterday, just before going to bed, I was meditating for about 15 minutes, and halfway through the session, the resistance band on my desk just launched itself into the wall and fell down between the desk and the wall. could be because of Halloween and the veil supposedly being thinner around this time of year. it was frightening at first but also pretty interesting.

    I completely stopped watching watching porn many months ago. Now I started doing SR also and am 2 weeks in without too many problems. But now the urges to crossdress are coming back. I thought I was "cured" of that after I stopped watching porn. Advice?
    >>
    >>43153350
    You're doing good, but it's a (long) process.
    In my experience, after 3-4 months you don't get horny anymore, but the problem is social media, even if you don't watch porn, the world is so overly-sexualized you can't escape horny traps. Tiktok is easy to avoid, but even youtube and xitter are filled with goon content, and mainstream media is the same. Films, series, commercials, even sports, everything is so gay, sexualized and feminized (and anti-masculine) it's like poison
    The only thing that helps me is touching grass (literally, I love nature), reading and praying, if you don't believe in God you can meditate or something
    >>
    >>43153432
    The only reason I stopped crossdressing was because I thought God didn't want me doing it. But I don't think sexuality is inherently bad.

    >want to follow Jesus so I never want to watch porn again
    Porn is way better than even thinking real whores. Jesus never prohibited porn or masturbation. The verse about eye plucking referred to lusting other men's wives, i.e. adultery. Remember, human churches are full of liars, feminists and heretics, they want to trap you in a marriage with a satanic whore, who will lead you straight to Hell.

    We live in the End Times, so all women are whores now, you won't find a wife and you don't need one. What for? "Z" is the last generation before the Apocalypse. Prepare to die for Christ.
    Remember, fap is NOT a sin, never has been, never will be. Fornication (i.e. hookup with an unmarried slut) is a minor sin against your body, adultery (which includes marrying a divorced woman) is a sin against your spirit, so an eternal death.

    Every time i've relapsed my sleep paralysis demons come back and my prayer is weakened for a day or 2, it's still sexual immorality and a sin against your own flesh, i think God would rather i have no brain fog and a mind sharp like a serpent which are benefits of abstinence

    Following Jesus doesn't mean you will never fall for lust again but the Holy Spirit will be a great help in identifying patterns in which the enemy will get you to fall and will guide you through overcoming sins you struggle with, it's being like Paul and dying to your old self daily
    >>
    >>43154235
    >it's still sexual immorality and a sin against your own flesh
    I don't think so, it is not in the Bible. You know, there were and still are plenty of sick pseudochristian cults, their members call everything a sin, even using electricity for example. Try to judge objectively.
    >i think God would rather i have no brain fog and a mind sharp like a serpent which are benefits of abstinence
    For me it is exactly the opposite - nofap gives me insomnia, severe depression and brain fog which only gets worse until I am finally cured by a wet dream.

    I know for a fact that real women are evil whores and witches, all of them. That's why they fare so good in this satanic world - they are always happy and successful. So I can't even imagine binding myself to one of them. But porn is just pixels on the screen! The actress may already be dead and decomposed.

    On point.
    YouTube is especially sneaky in this regard. Whenever I search for something seemingly innocent, the search feed is littered with a few lustful thumbnails that I have to scroll quickly past.
    It shouldn't have to be this way but it is what it is.
    Hell, even on blue boards such as this you'll find lustful content out of nowhere which despite it not being porn, it still does bring me down to the baser impulses.

    This is why I'm cutting out all social media, including 4chan & messengers, for the whole of November as I know how sneaky the (((Algorithm))) can be, especially during November. It'll be difficult as I spend a good amount of time on YT, 4chan & messengers like Discord & Telegram but I reckon it'll be worth it to avoid possible traps & triggers.

The mods here are not only apathetic and lazy,but seem too be gooners themselves that regularly let softcore porn boards stay on /v/ untill 50p posts. It's nice to talk to you guys but I think I might have to abstain from here.

    Hi, /pol/tard tourist here. I'm going to try NNN and I think here its a nice way to start. I already blocked a bunch of easy pages to relapse, activated the "work" mode on 4chanXT and have the month planned and some "emergency" activities like burpees and pushups with handlers. Stress will be the hardest part to deal with but I have prayers and breathing exercises. First time that I'm going to do it with that much preparation btw.. Good luck for the anons who also going to do it.

    SR is just one part of it. Diet, spirituality, exercise, hobbies and sleep are all very important as well, you won't get much benefits from SR if you eat goyslop, go to sleep at 3am, don't drink enough water and get drunk on alcohol
    >>
    >>43155441
    So how do you know it isn't all those other things that are making you feel good and SR has nothing to do with it?
    Someone who eats healthy, has good sleep, exercises, meditates,etc, but also masturbates every single day will probably still feel good.
    I'm sorry but I think SR is one big cope and doesn't really do jack shit.

    >>43152917
    You may have read anons reporting increased luck which always seems like "I began getting X thing i've always wanted". It's because almost everyone wish good things for themselves, but SR bros is kinda a god, and gods easily wish things into existence. It's not limited to SR alone, but generally avoiding things that most men and animals can't avoid levels you up in the spiritual realm. It gets to a point where you can literally do anything...things men and animals will consider paranormal. Take it from me, when you begin to level up exponentially, you'd be tested by demons who what to pull you down the ladder. But always remember that there's a reason why the Chad in the new testament didn't turn stone to bread when the time wasn't right.

    I had a wet dream tonight. I had a wet dream Thursday and now another one? I tried the technique in >>43152302 and it seems it had the opposite effect (I usually don't have wet dreams this frequently). FUUUUUK. Fortunately it was a small amount of cum compared to last time. Maybe it was God punishing me for trying that technique instead of relying on him? Or maybe demons tried extra hard tonight?

    Btw, succubi and jezebels: you are literal niggers of the spiritual world "we wuz angels and shieeet", you are the kikes of the spiritual world stealing from the goym. Go fuck yourself nigger spirits.
