The undeniable benefits of semen retention.

[Phil777]

Direct experience is king. I challenge you to abstain from cumming for 90 days and tell me you don't notice a difference. Go in expecting nothing, totally unbiased. let go of your ideas and expectations.

Benefits I can attest to:

Walk tall and proud with good posture.

Look people in the eye when I pass them.

Feel more "at ease" around everyone - lack of excessive self-consciousness.

I don't feel "inferior" or "superior" to anyone I interact with.

Feel happy and motivated to work on a daily basis.

Intrinsically motivated flow states of high productivity.

Less likely to put up with anyone's bullshit.

Straight forward and radically honest demeanour.

Genuinely more compassionate and merciful to others of all social classes.

Nearly complete fearlessness - consistently choose love over fear.

I feel more focused, calibrated and emotionally intelligent.

A feeling of authenticity and purity.

More intelligent, greater working and long term memory.

Way more charismatic and witty.

More loving and conscious.

   Yep, there are spiritual benefits to the practice, as long as spiritual practices are done alongside the celibacy.

One benefit I had after a few months of semen retention was that I started pissing out chunks of semen. I thought that if it continued to get more painful I was going to have to go to the hospital. I could really feel a strong alertness during this. 

Another benefit I got was not being able to sleep at night from being too horny. That and just being distracted during the day from not being able to ejaculate. 

I would also eye fuck basically any girl that was at a decent level of attractiveness. Having to restrain myself just for the sheer fact that the quality wasn't up to par. 

Also, if you want to up the effects of semen retention, then take some daily maca root.

You should try pushing the chunks back in to reduce energy loss.

Just punch yourself to stay focused.

Just punch yourself and or the women of interest. 

Violence and restraint is the way to go here.

In all seriousness, you need an energetic practice to transmute the energy.

For a lot of people, sexuality is a good way to cover up emotions so restraining that part of themselves can let them bubble up.

I am not against ejaculation nor am I against sex. But I think it actually isn't normal to not be able to relax, be tranquil and peaceful without sex.

Sex is a biological necessasity that controls you as long as you frame it that way.

What energetic practices have you done alongside semen retention? 

[Average Investor]

@Phil777 Your body would naturally just ejaculate in your sleep at some point though too. So I think that would have an effect on it. I think for mine I was still taking maca root during that round. I cannot recall now, but I had tried it with and without. The maca makes it quite intense. 

It doesn't seem to much of a hindrance to me to ejaculate. I could see some benefits for sure on abstaining, but I think there is a balance for sure. Takes a lot of focus to get there. 

[Phil777]

@Consilience I practice breathwork, spinal breath along the microcosmic orbit, Kriya Yoga techniques and of course meditation. I also want to get more into Qi Gong as some sexual mastery teachers recommend it.

Also Hatha Yoga and some functional weight training helps as posture is tightly linked to energetic flow.

I recommend you to figure out the best practise that works for you! There is no one size fits all

@Average Investor I actually don't have that many wet dreams anymore. I think it has something to do with energetic leakage. Again, losing a bit of semen or cumming once in a while is not a big deal.

Semen retention a messy process and progress is made best with a high level of self acceptance and open experimentation. In the beginning, I actually leaned into my masturbation habits consciously, integrating that perverted rascal with a loving heart. Now I just understand on a deep level what I want and why I want it. I lost my desire for pixel prostitutes.

wow! so many benefits!!!!! lmao

Not knocking your experience, but I have no need for this myself. I don't know how this is possible to do in a relationship either. Passion needs to be expressed somehow. Men who are able to master this practice are exceptionally talented people. If you are a man with a high sex drive it's kinda like eating. You can't be happy without eating some. You don't have to gorge McDonalds but you need to eat. To say you should be able to be peaceful and happy without sex is very much disowning one of your core needs. It's like saying you should be able to be peaceful and happy without food and water. "Food is a biological necessity that controls you as long as you frame it that way." It's an unrealistic, ridiculous litmus test and not the game of life.

@Lyubov Men need to eat pussy like they need to eat Big Macs.

Makes sense to me one of the core primal drives in any human's life is to reproduce.

@kag101 About 5 times a week.

@Knowledge Hoarder I do in fact think you are wrong. Mainly because you project some idea you have about the semen retention community, their motivations and ideology, onto me.

I am not against sex nor ejaculation on principle. Sex is beautiful and natural.  But that it's natural expression entails frequent porn, hook ups and ejaculatory masturbation habits, is an assumption. That the sex drive needs to always be expressed explicitly or it will be damaging is also an untested assumption.

I come to realize that I genuinely do not feel the urge to masturbate or fuck, if I don't have a compelling reason to do it. For example meeting someone who fits me and ticks all the boxes. I do in fact can get laid and have gotten laid lately, it's not that hard.

But I realized that the type of relationship and sexual encounter I am looking for cannot be found from this immature, porn conditioned sexual appetite I still have. I am happy focusing on other areas of my life and letting my sexuality rest, reset and heal. I even plan on masturbating again without ejaculation to my fantasies someday. The ulimate goal is to heal my traumas related to sex, meet someone I vibe with and love and then have conscious, awesome sex with full control over my ejaculations. That doesn't mean slow fucking or puritanical sex or that everything shown in porn is bad. I think their is some high consciousness, loving porn. Even BDSM can be a gateway to higher states of consciousness.

My goal is to become multi-orgasmic in the bedroom, pulling energy up the spine for cosmic full body orgasms without ejaculation. Those leave you envigourated and not drained and tired. I have had some successes a month ago before I decided to go full on celibacy for awhile to reset. it's awesome.

You guys make it really easy on yourself by creating a simply dichotomy of free and primal expression and regressive repression.

I am not trying hard, nor do I feel deprived. I feel content, focused on more important matters, healing and growing.

Regarding semen retention. Yeah, all that confidence talk and becoming legendary in every area of life is placebo imo. But there are some benefits to it for sure.

Ideally the end of f-aping should happen naturally as a consiquence of one's spiritual sadhana and refinement. If a person does a decent quality spiritual practice for 3-4 years. It should be enough to come out of it naturally for most people. It's not that big of a deal really. It's a basic step towards enlightenment work imo.

@Salvijus I would largely agree with that. One should be cognisant to not blow Semen Retentions effects out of proportion or attach to it as a new ego identity.

[Danioover9000]

@Phil777

   Another benefit from semen retention, is for some men they stop feeling like their dying every time they ejaculate. Regardless if it's fapping, or real sex, something about the ejaculation and loss of sperm causes some men to feel really sick, ranging from phantom pains to strange sore throats/colds. To me this part isn't a placebo for the most part, you actually physically feel like you're dying much less.
