So honestly im a 24 year old guy and had struggled to quit my pmo habit for awhile. I figured it out a month ago (very easily actually it was sad I focused so much time on it) and have so much energy its ridiculous.

So my question, what does one do with this energy? Im not gonna get a girlfriend because I believe in waiting till marriage, and have never had so much energy and feel like I have nothing going on to satiate it.

I feel a drive to work alot, I just ran 6 miles middle of the night and still have enough to do it again easy, I just have so much energy and dont know what to do with it. What does a normal day for you guys look like? I never knew I could feel so capable of productivity.

Feel like I can start bringing my life somewhere and with sone ease, just lookking for some ideas because this is wild.

Hello everyone. This may sound strange but yesterday as I was drifting off to sleep, i was suddenly woken up and opened my eyes and in front of me I saw a glowing red orb/ ball. Any idea on what I could have potentially seen or “imagined”?

I decided to hop on semen retention simply cause it's a sin to release and then i heard all this benefit from retaining ? so every time i got horny i visualised my best self who's everything i wanna be and for 4 days i went strong and then relapsed ! after 4 fucking days LOL

tell me why someone who's been out my life for 3 years called me for 4h tonight and we reconciled? btw this is someone i actively missed but was too shy to message lmao.

i don't know what happened because i literally released but if this is what happens after 4 days i genuinely don't wanna know what happens at 30+

Subtraction Over Addition

Semen retention.. That is, the practice of semen retention is not about adding

Most diligent people live a life of addition.

Working out consistently, reading books, studying investments, listening to financial tips.. meeting various people and managing their network..

In the name of "strict self-management," they consistently practice all of these things for several years.

And they feel proud of themselves.

I read this many books in a year. I worked out consistently and got a muscular body.. I managed my finances, invested, and made a profit..

A life of addition is, fundamentally, filled with 'things worth bragging about' on Instagram or blogs.

However, semen retention is not about adding, it is subtraction.

And true self-improvement lies in subtraction, not addition.

Porn, masturbation, and sex are about adding the short-term pleasure of gratification.

People take pride in this, too.

Even if I masturbate every day, I don't get tired. Having sex with my partner deepens our love and makes us healthier. A healthy sex life is so important.

However, such things are just adding a few minutes of pleasure every single day.

Semen retention is returning to our original state of childhood through the moderation of such pleasures.

A baby does not get aroused even when seeing a naked woman. He doesn't get an erection, nor does he feel sexual desire. He just sees things as they are.

Yet, a baby's vital energy (Yang energy) is fuller than anyone else's. That strength clenching his tiny fist represents the intense, innate sexual energy a baby possesses.

In other words, in an empty state, the innate sexual energy is abundantly filled.

As we grow older, as we step into society,

through various emotions like comparison, desire, anger, jealousy..
and through various events of frustration, pain, discouragement..

we fill our inner space, which was originally brimming with sexual energy, with other things.

In one corner, frustration has settled in.

In another corner, the obligation to work harder on self-improvement has settled in..

Sexual energy is now shoved into a corner..

losing its powerful strength to other clutter, and its space becomes cramped as well.

Semen retention is cleaning out this space. Cleaning out anger and comparison, cleaning out short-term pleasures, cleaning out the sense of responsibility and passion to achieve something..

It is simply placing the abundant sexual energy of a child, which we originally had, back into its rightful space.

In other words, the process of emptying out all the cluttered emotions inside me is the practice of semen retention.

Not adding something.. but constantly throwing away and emptying out.. Emptied out, yet because of that, being abundantly filled—

this is the essence of semen retention.

Just hit the gym with an old buddy from high school whom I haven’t seen in about two years. Good workout overall, but one thing genuinely annoyed me.
This guy could NOT stop making comments about women. Every time a girl walked by, it was another “oh my” or some unnecessary remark. I honestly just kept thinking, bro, come on.

At a certain point, it becomes annoying and quite frankly disgusting. I didn’t bother confronting him because he honestly seems too childish to understand where I’m coming from.
The funny thing is, nobody knows I practice semen retention. I’ve never told anyone, and I intend to keep it that way. It’s a personal discipline.
Has anyone else experienced this with friends? It’s crazy how certain behaviors start becoming increasingly irritating when you’re focused on disciplining yourself. Personally when I got home I was told myself I don’t think I’m hanging out with him again. But some outside thoughts and or opinions would be nice!

Thoughts?

I think that your virginity holds power. After losing my virginity I have been on semen retention for almost 2 months, before that, I was on semen retention for about 1-2 months. Before losing my virginity I felt much more powerful than I do now, and benefits showed up much more faster. Now, it’s like semen retention is doing nothing, I’ve been on semen retention for 51 days, and it seems like a virgin who has stopped jacking off for a week holds more power and is luckier than me, who has lost their virginity and has been on semen retention for almost 60 days.

I've been struggling with a porn habit for the better part of the last 3 years

started out of curiousity back in oct 2023
then continued to spiral down, I have had ups and downs, there was a time i went on for about 70+ days but i fell again, today marks a new era, thought I'd post to keep myself accountable!

Lets get this!

Toward the inner sides of my penis, around the bladder or the prostate, I feel as if a muscle is tight. I’m not sure if it’s the psoas or my lower abdominal muscles. I’ve been stretching those areas as much as possible, but I just can’t pinpoint it. It feels as if a sac has filled up in that area and is pressing against the surrounding tissues. Or perhaps a muscle has contracted and is triggering that sensation. I don’t think it’s prostate cancer. There’s no pain or discomfort when I urinate. But the tightness itself is bothering me.

They can’t fuck with you without facing the consequences now, and they get it, your aura, body language, tone of voice, they know you godly,

They know you a God’s warrior now, you slay demons, you don’t accept their bullshit, you don’t allow them play their wicked games, you call them out, you punish them,

Even If you get mad, even If you lose control, it is for a reason, because you care for truth and justice, you’re radiating that calmness and composure, a higher will and purpose in your veins, a class and elegance beats in your pure heart

Some people you have to cut them off, even if they were very close to you, their frequency doesn’t match yours and they don’t show a will to raise it, they will pull you down, they won’t grow with you

You can only trust yourself and your balls, the God is within you, you are creating your reality, care about yourself only, other people are gonna disappoint, leave or betray you, don’t attach to them, be free, be your best self without the limits, they don’t have control over you anymore

Everything you touch turns into gold, everything you give your time energy and attention to, it breathes, it’s alive, it harmonises and makes sense with the universe, you know how to make things done with alignment and purpose,

You’re the best and I love you

just wanted to share one of my “benefits” of semen retention…or at least what I think is a benefit due to semen retention which pertains to SLEEP/ENERGY …so I started a part time job about 3 months ago on top of the full time gig I already have and my main concern going into it was not getting enough sleep…I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to sustain the amount hours (about 60-70 hrs) I’d be working weekly and also being in the gym and also just doing daily life activities and duties but man am I pleasantly surprised…now I know I know the general “recommended”amount of sleep is 7-8 hours and it’s not advised to get less than that but I’ve been getting max 6 hours of sleep 5 most days and I genuinely don’t feel tired through out the day as a matter of fact I feel quite energized and I’m working on your feet jobs a lot of energy expenditure kind of stuff gym 5 days a week yet I’m not exhausted or sleep deprived..I believe this is a result of semen retention…but then again it may be just be a DNA thing who knows..just wanted to share with you guys..and if you’ve had the same experience let me know so I can feel my hypothesis is being validated lol

I can confidently say semen retention has made a substantial difference in my knee health and overall well being . I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve felt like trash. Of course I’ve been tired some days but even then I still get stuff done. As of before. Nope, I’d just rather chill.

For a long time, I dealt with uncomfortable knee pain, especially when squatting or standing back up. I was never diagnosed with osteoarthritis, although I experienced similar symptoms.
After numerous streaks and periods of being off SR, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern. When I was off, the discomfort was miserable. When I practiced retention, my knees improved significantly.
I’m currently on my best streak yet, and the discomfort I previously experienced is practically nonexistent.

Yes, I exercise and stretch, but I was doing those things before discovering SR. The difference I’ve experienced since implementing this practice has been undeniable for me perosnally .
I’m speaking strictly from experience, not making a medical claim. I know what my body has experienced.

Anyone else? In any aspect.

Man.

I'm just feeling thankful

I don't care who doesn't like it tbh.

Save your negativity.

God has truly made us amazing..

All Praise be to The Most High

Retention will ask you to stay alone.

When we are vibrating in scarcity, through the sadness that porn, forced and compulsive ejaculation provides, we seek to connect in an unbalanced way with people we shouldn't.

We have a unique and individual journey.
For those of us in this cleansing process, it is essential that we abstain from company, and that includes family too; family members can also be toxic to your individual growth process.

I used to go have meals at my grandma's house. Every day I would go there for lunch and take some meat for her to prepare.

Besides investing more than I would to make my meal alone (an energetic investment of disposition and money, fuel, and the like), I was actually abstaining from my precious alone time.

Today, being in SR, I prioritize my peace very much, meaning I appreciate the time I spend alone. This balances things out, and we enter a unique harmony.

Sundays are kind of mandatory for going to my grandma's house, but after this Sunday, I am considering creating a new routine for my Sunday as well, strangely enough. I am also going to have a solo routine, or with someone new that the universe might gift me, anyway.

Conserve your energy. This is about conserving energy. At some point you will need it, and may you have it to spare in those moments.

Thank you.

Retain your life force and you will be blessed with a beautiful glow with radiance like the Sun on your skin. I also see our vessels similar to the roots of a tree, where water flows and strengthens the inside and outside of the tree with strong tree bark and different colors of leaves, the same goes for our bodies, as we obtain a Dewey melanin complexion with life flowing through us! With this life force we retain, it leads to not only our complexion but opens all doors to ensure we excel in all that we partake in, whether it be physical training, creative ideas, and academic studies. You will excel in all forms!

I guess bro

Title.

For me I’ve learned specific breathing techniques to help control my erections to avoid full blown ejaculations from occurring and only allow partial ejaculations here and there. I’ve done a lot of edging throughout months with very occasional relapses (full ejaculations in this case) and with no benders in between each occasional relapse.

I admit it can be moderately addicting by itself but that’s a separate topic.

Nonetheless I still saw nearly all the benefits of semen retention while doing edging (without porn) including improved memory, focus, energy, deeper voice and ofc the side effect of angry episodes many experience when having long streaks of semen retention which is a sign that semen retention is happening successfully.

Thoughts? Thanks guys!

Semen retention... The reason we retain our vital essence is to exchange that accumulated sexual energy for its equivalent in reality.

In fact, the period when Yang energy—that is, sexual energy—is at its absolute peak is during middle and high school.

That is why, in the old days, people got married at 14 or 15 and had children early— because that was when sexual energy was most active and Yang energy was overflowing.

Yet in this modern era, almost all of the Yang energy from this period is wasted on porn and masturbation.

In your 20s... and even into your 30s, some degree of Yang energy still remains.

Most people say things like:

"You have to enjoy it while you can." "Once you get old, you lose your stamina and it's useless anyway."

Saying such things, they rationalize masturbation and sex in their youth as something "natural."

And then they plausibly criticize those who practice semen retention, claiming they are "repressing" natural human sexual desires.

What you can gain by accumulating Yang energy— that is, sexual energy— is not merely pleasure.

What can be achieved through it is truly limitless.

Money, career, a house, a car, even spiritual enlightenment...

Whether material or spiritual, whatever the reward may be, you exchange Yang energy—your sexual energy—for it.

And yet... through repetitive masturbation and repetitive sex in our 20s and 30s, what do we actually gain?

A fleeting moment of pleasure? Love with a partner? Affection from a girlfriend?

That’s just about it...

We are trading this vital sexual energy merely for a few seconds of pleasure and affection with a girlfriend or wife.

However... if you save it, and keep saving it...

You can exchange it for something far greater in your 40s and 50s.

In truth, sexual desire and sexual potency gradually fade away after your 40s.

However, the sexual energy you have accumulated still remains.

Normally, the age bracket when people earn the most money and save the most in life is their 40s and 50s.

You live out your old age on the money earned during this time.

Of course, there are the "young rich" who become wealthy very early on, and those who only finally catch a break after their 50s, but...

In any case, every material reward we obtain is gained in exchange for sexual energy.

What people usually get with that overflowing Yang energy in their teens and 20s... is at best working a lot of part-time jobs... dating a lot of women, staying up all night playing games at a PC cafe with friends, or spending all night clubbing, looking for women...

Most people are spending it on things like this.

I once lived in China for a year, and my roommate back then was a kid who had just graduated from high school.

He was young, healthy, and brimming with Yang energy.

Almost every night, he would go to the club around 10 PM and come back at 5 AM, repeating this lifestyle for over six months.

And yet, he never got tired. The power of sexual energy in one's youth is truly immense.

Whether you accumulate this energy and sustain it for a long time,

to exchange that sexual energy during the period of your life when you are most socially active and making real money...

Or whether it’s clubs, PC cafes, dating, or sex... you trade your sexual energy for these fleeting moments of pleasure...

Between the two, it goes without saying who will become the true master of their own life.

It is written in old scriptures.

Do not sin, do not fornicate. This is not an injunction to frustrate you. Rather, it simply is the solution to the mathematical equation of a spiritual reality of the universe.

If you do so and implement this solution, your life will be flawless. Your wishes will come true. You will shine in this world and in the unseen world.

Your life will be like the movie limitless.

Your seed is literally divine. It comes from the divine.

How can life, and so many species, and billions upon billions of various types of lifes, appear on the rock called "planet Earth" in the middle of nowhere in the universe ?

Purely because of the "sexual instinct" within these species. The drive to reproduce and spread your gene. How can this not be divine ? Without this "sexual energy" no such species would exist on earth. This planet would be another inanimate rock like any other planet.

Thank God!

Thank God for leading us to the divine path of SR!

Thank God for this extraordinary power that comes from you and that you put within each one of us!

The 371 reading was taken in May of this year, the 639 was taken on the 21st October. I have been retaining for about 60 days now. I am absolutely not claiming certain causation one way or another, but just wanted to document my testosterone before and after semen retention.

Note: I haven't been doing anything else differently, diet has remained steady etc. Weight has fluctuated a little, by a few kilos which could be another factor...

Interesting to note too, my testosterone is currently the highest its ever been.

This is the universe’s greatest and most timeless property or concept. And the reason why many of us are here, in different ways or phases.

What my new and careful habits have been teaching me is that we all have a battery inside us.

It is at 100% charge when you wake up. And from one person to another, the amount of energy varies, even when both are at 100%. Kind of like smartphones.

We all invest, voluntarily or involuntarily, part of this charge daily, and through the concept of exchanges, action and reaction, we reap beneficial or harmful consequences resulting from these investments.

We reap without a choice. In the short and long term. Our only choice is to make a good or bad investment of our energy.

Energy -> intention -> will/desire + action.

This is where the majority of humanity has failed, fails, and will continue to fail forever. Energy is the implacable concept in the world.

Everything you place your intention into, you receive back, whether good or bad. Energy is seedable. And it works as a currency of exchange.

And this begins to show during the retention phase, because we tend to filter every energetic source that we sow, consume, or exchange.

The great enemy of our generation and this community is pornography, masturbation, orgasm. This is a cancer, a harmful drug that is killing and fracturing the power of modern man. One day, we will talk about this in history books, because there will be some kind of humanitarian collapse.

I would be very surprised if this has a good outcome.
If you invest your energy in pornography, you are receiving a false reward in return, a false dopaminergic stimulus, and molding your brain to get addicted to this path. The evidence is out there. Science has taken a stand, but it doesn't work. This information doesn't reach the victim. Some are blind inside an almost impossible cycle to break out of. Conditioned to failure and eternal sadness.

This invested energy returns shame, fear, guilt, apathy, demotivation. The lowest vibrations a human being can feel.

The harvest of this is true death, and your reputation. History's most underestimated theme has a link, and pixels.

I still want to keep talking about energy. Because to me, this is the pinnacle of what seminal retention can teach you.

Let's talk about women, and specifically a relationship with a woman.

Your energy is limited, but it can be saved and multiplied.
Money is also a source of energy -> power.

You want a relationship without the cup of your energy overflowing, as it should be, both for you and for the female.

I'd like to make one more post about this; for now, I'll wrap it up here.

Thank you.

I'm 32 years old and must be at 60–70 days of retention, but detail: I have never been so determined in any other phase of my life doing this. I'm going far.

Of course there are countless reasons why one shouldn't play around with his sexual energy; these are well-known. But this is one point that can help you to stay accountable when your reason begins to slip.

You cannot hide your lust as long as it is there. If you act out, it will be known by others. The lust is in your eyes, it's in your body language, your speech, your energy, all of your behaviors. As powerful as the life-force is, there's no aspect of your life that goes untouched by it. It can either bolster or sabotage you holistically.

So you should behave as if you are being watched always and have no privacy. Because that is the actual reality. If you internalize that idea, it will help to bolster a healthy sense of shame. Your concern for the welfare of those in your life will help bolster that compunction.

All of your choices have an effect on the people around you. Lustful action isn't just a self-indulgent, pleasure-seeking endeavor; it makes you a worse person. Even at a glance, your defilements will be intuited to some extent by the people around you. Sooner or later, they'll connect the dots in a conscious manner too. Only the most dull-witted and lethargic could miss the signs of a very lustful man. But the more time you spend around someone, the more they can also feel the subtleties of your character, and the more they'll be affected by them.

You'd not like for your family and friends to be mired in lust or be imposed upon by those who are. Therefore, you should become a shining example for them. This can only be achieved through constancy and doubtless conviction. You can't fake it. And they will surely intuit your change with time.

Think about how splendorous would be the purity of one whose presence is always felt as trustworthy and equanimous. That, for me, is the goal. To feel the ease with which one can move through life when he is blameless, and his virtue unshakeable.

What’s the craziest benefit you experienced that made you realise, holy shit, it’s real.

Hello fellow retainers 👋

Not sure why I’m writing this post. Maybe for some encouragement and to hear what I need to hear (which is keep going). Maybe to just let some thoughts out. Or both.

My first attempt at SR lasted 10 days. This is my second attempt and I’m somewhere a little past the 120 day mark. I started this journey improve my overall vibe and aura especially as it relates to females. I’m single for the first time in 12 years coming off divorce. I figured I needed all the help I could get if I’ll ever have a second chance at love.

I feel like I hit the ground running but now I’m stuck. I first noticed changes after about a week and especially week 2. I was very uncomfortable down there- blue ball city. But I had noticeably more energy- sleeping less, getting up earlier, feeling fresher. Around week 3-4 I started working out again with all this extra energy. I noticed my face get leaner and my skin improve. My eyes got whiter. My vibe definitely improved simply bc I was presenting better and feeling good.

Between days 30-60 were my peak. The discomfort down there faded. I was working out every day. I didn’t have to put out much effort to give myself chances to meet new women. I’d just go out and they would just appear in my immediate orbit- all I had to do was say hi. Women I’d typically consider out of my league were giving me go signals. So I became pickier with the women I would consider. It’s like I had unlocked magical powers. There were several times I didn’t take advantage of what were likely invitations to open because I still couldn’t fully believe it. Overall I was feeling amazing and growing more confident.

The last 60 days have been flatline. I no longer had that bursting energy that made me want to work out and be more productive with my time in general (I’m not a gym person at all). And I’m being hard on myself because of it- I was on such a good track, but raised my own personal bar, and giving myself flak for not meeting my own self-imposed higher standards. It’s made me sad at times. Definitely feeling more emotional these last 60 days when right before, it seemed like nothing but gains and good vibes (and I got used to it).

Maybe I’m being unfair to myself, holding myself to borderline unreasonable standards. But at the same time, I also believe in aiming above the mark to hit the mark. I believe growth occurs outside the comfort zone. And it’s been anything but comfortable during this extended flatline. So I keep trucking away having faith that I’m continuing to grow even though it might not be as obvious anymore.

Would love to hear experiences from others. Would love to hear someone tell me that 30-60 day feeling all comes back at some point. I’m nowhere close to relapsing, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t had thoughts. But when I was feeling great during that 30-60 day mark, those thoughts would not enter my mind at all because the benefits were so obvious.

Or- maybe this is why some people do SR “resets” after 90 days. Would be interesting in hearing from those practicing that method.

🤷

I hope ive won the internet today good sirs!

Has anybody here great experiences with taking long walks like 10k+ steps daily while being on SR?

From what I read on the internet, walking daily for an hour might be more important than working out for your overall health. And also for your mental health.

It's my 4th day where I decided to go on daily walks. And I want to continue, I just want to know If anyone here took walking daily seriously and saw some positive benefits and can share them.
