What’s the point of doing semen retention for a whole year? Like, what exactly are you trying to achieve here? If you have a girlfriend with whom you have sex, you obviously want to enjoy the experience and reach ejaculation sometimes, rather than always practising tantric sex or full-body orgasms without actually ejaculating.

If you want to have kids, that’s another thing. But what’s the point of retaining your semen for years on end?
Sexual health and  wellbeing are important too.  prolonged abstinence can lead to  sexual frustration or obsessive sexual thoughts, making it harder to concentrate.  So, what exactly are you hoping to achieve through long-term semen retention?

Exactly my thought.
I guess someone will answer you with “powers”

I’m not saying abstaining doesn’t give you a boot of confidence and clarity for like two weeks or three and that porn is bad but having a whole personality around semen retention is kinda stupid in my opinion.

I have practiced this in two separate retreats and I felt very clear headed the first time around, and a sense peace which lasted for a month or two but other than that, no mystical experiences. 

Edit: never mind, I didn't do Brahmacharya, I did Brahmavihara.
