@Kshantivadin What do you do to relieve the insomnia?

@Call Me Whatever How are you doing? Any changes to your meditation?

@Parththakkar12 Ah ok. So a speculation is neither true nor false, until we do the investigation Is there a difference between old and fresh speculations? Is the conspiracy part like a speculation with fear attached to it?

Not the best time to date. Best time to be in solitude.

@Parththakkar12 Could you tell me the difference between conspiracy theories and speculating?

@FlowerNote As it is, it isn't imaginary, until the mind creates stories around non-duality love, which is most of the time. Yes, you're lost, I'm lost and everyone's lost in semantics.

It's not that good. There's a better book that goes much more in depth.

@Meta-Man Well said. What could offer more power than living like this? As soon as you go deep, nobody is needed anymore to satisfy you.

It's one thing to significantly reduce down masturbation and sex, but it's another level of difficulty to fully sustain abstinence of both physical and mental sex.

@Kshantivadin Of course, sometimes people remember little to nothing about wet dreams, other than the mess. About the conscious part, if you or anyone here ever had lucid dreams you'll get the gist of it, but it's a skill that often starts when you remember a dream about anything other than sex, or when you accidentally go lucid in a dream. Most cases, most people wake up from the excitement experienced. I've had varying experiences in cases like these, and I'll say without undergoing any mindfulness training or visualization training, it's difficult to apply consciousness into a sex dream that's occuring in your unconsciousness real-time. Takes some practice, but it's quite rewarding when you can sustain that.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker That's the hardest version, which most average males are not ready for.

@Jacob Morres Depends on your tolerance and sensitivity, usually better to go less than 100. Better date sober most times than psyched, otherwise it'll be a crutch, and could go much worse.

@Shir @Arcangelo It doesn't matter what the aquarium is called, it's the same aquarium you've been raised in. You say you are extremely liberal and secular, but that's how you've been brought up as inside the aquarium, just like how a person who's religious is brought up that way in a different themed aquarium. It's a household ideology or the culture you grew up in that programmed that belief into you. Here, we tend to try to deconstruct limiting beliefs so that we belief in better things, to progress at different areas of life or if you're into spirituality, to be able to experience mystical states or have enlightenment occur, this belief of a sacred marriage will be challenged by others, but also it is expected you challenge this belief you hold onto. If you're not comfortable ripping this belief to shreds, then that's ok. I'm trying to give a heads up with what will be in store for you if you want to go all the way to help yourself.

Also, most people don't realize that Nofap and semen retention has some health effects to it, and greater resilience to illness.

@Kshantivadin This is similar to how not retaining affects me physically. If people say relapsing has little effect on fitness, then even a moderate fap a day, or a binge would not effect me much, except it does lessen my energy and my need to hit the gym. While retaining, my recovery and my ability to exert more force and endurance is improved. My reaction times also went up. With wet dreams, it could vary, but mostly the fluids aren't seminal fluids, but mostly clear fluids with some semen. Dream sex, in most cases, lacks that extra conscious effort in real sex, when you're close to ejaculating you put effort into ejaculating, whereas in dreaming it's a different level of consciousness that whether or not you're lucid, you don't put as much into contracting into the ejaculation, hence most times not as draining.

Remove pornography and all virtual was of exploring sexuality, and you force the majority of the average males to physically explore all types of sexualities. Doesn't matter if you personally have great imagination, you can't speak for most people. Better regulation, not prohibition.

It's full of wisdom, but it's probably worth more to answer this yourself than pass it along to someone else expecting them to answer for you. At least you discover for yourself@Halcyon Iconoclast

I've had sex binges a few years back, probably a sexual shadow, if that's what you meant. It's normal when you pursue spirituality and contemplate deeper, you muddy the waters and you fish out a sea monster. Sometimes it happens and that's that.

@Shir I've seen enough of your posts to say that you are very similar to religious types, how religious types can't go beyond literal meanings and is very set on beliefs is very close to religious way of life.

@Schnaby Emotional abuse, classic gaslighting behavior. Either confront him with his behavior and draw a clear boundary that you will not compromise or leave that relationship quickly. Also, with styles of dress, is experimental, so

@K Ghoul I also agree. There are a few cases when it's extremely traumatic will there be 180 degree changes. However, it also depends on how fluid the personality and mind there other person has. I've met some people that have this flexibility of mind.

I just can't see how this will not be abused. Yes, you will have an edge against other average men without micro dosing before a date, but oh boy will your ego abuse this method easy. There are problems with working out exact dosages in particular for you, despite any recommended ranges. I think test at home first before in-field, because when you approach a woman with a more than higher state you haven't tested beforehand, and she's clearly not wanting anything to do with you, in that state is very easy to lose control of yourself.

@--George-- Osho, the tantra guras, Swami Vivekananda and Daoist priests have enlightenment occur to them while in an energetic state of being.

Don't let anyone tell you differently with this path. It's like going to the gym, you won't get stronger by letting the coaches do the workouts for you, you do the workouts.

How does your workouts feel while retaining? Noticed any changes with muscle contractions and recovery before/after semen retention?
