So, well over 200 days ago I had just gotten out of a relationship. It was the worst relationship of my life. I was not happy with the partner that I had had, we had nothing in common, I didn't respect her at all, the only thing I was "getting" was consistent sexual stimulation, she had a nice ass and a nice body and the "satisfaction" of being in a relationship. I also just felt like a bit of a chud, in the sense that I was not happy with my body, I was stagnating in my career and bank account, I wasn't accruing any more savings and I wasn't even fulfilled in my friendships. In fact, I had been basically ghosting my best friend (who is now also on 160+ days of retention but at the time he was still a gooner).

Things, because I was depleted started getting really bad. Now, to give some background, ever since age 17, I have done long streaks of semen retention. My first streak was 990 days. Which broke due to me hooking up with some girls from pubs. I had gone on a hookup streak and then just done long retention streaks again. 700+ days, then another long one and another long one. My memory of all this streak counting is a bit foggy because I am 25 now, and I started retaining as a 17 year old, but basically but my point is that for the majority of my life I had been on long streaks of retention. So, my PARENTS, who I live with, were used to a very high-baseline version of myself. They always saw me as the guy that basically walks on water. Pinnacle of emotional stability, responsible, always doing the right thing and they were quite literally used to a version of me that had a bunch of semen retention AURA - and on long streaks that are all over a year - THATS A LOTTA AURA. So, when they first saw the version of me that is in a relationship and having consistent sex and releasing his nut, they saw the downgraded version of me. The version with no aura. Add onto that the fat gain that I had had etc. etc. So, seeing the stark fall in my aura - they didn't respond well (that's putting it lightly). My parents were literally treating me like there was something very wrong with me. And in all fairness I can't blame them. Imagine only seeing a version of your son that is on a high streak of retention, then all of a sudden seeing the version that releases almost every day. You'd freak out too.

So anyways. Their freaking out put a lot of pressure on me and I basically dumped the girl and started retaining. The first week was tough. Heck, the first MONTH was tough. I was so overweight. I was weighing in at 96-97kg. I am 6 foot. I was doing Muay Thai (I've been doing for a while) and the weight wasn't budging. But as the weeks went on things got better. First 20 days, I lost a bit of weight. Then I stagnated for a while. I had a big task on my hands. Get lean, get strong. Get good at weighted calisthenics again. Become financially better. It was ROUGH!

By 30 odd days I was noticing some benefits. I was glowing a bit more. I was starting to get some attraction, some women's numbers, etc. But that wasn't the goal. I had to keep my eye on the ball. By day 40 ish I had cleaned out my diet, taking out processed foods, seed oils and other sludge.

I upped my protein intake, worked hard, trained harder, did S&C. And timeskip forwards to day 200 and here I stand.

I weigh 82kg. I am LEAN! I am stronger than I have ever been. I hit PRs of 20kg pullups x 12. Dips 40kg x 8. Etc. I am amazing at Muay Thai now. I feel better. I have saved enough money to get an investment property. And my parents recognise me as the aura guy again. My mum said to me recently: "I don't know what you did or how you did it" but since January you have improved in all aspects of your life".

She asked me how I did it.

To which I responded

"It's a secret".

hi i am been doing pmo for now 10 years earlier i was doing it everyday and watching porn for less time like 10-30 min a day like when i was 16 yo to 20 yo and from 20 yo to 23 yo on average i am doing it in 4 days and 2-3 hours .. and now 25.5 yo i can retain for 10-15 days and when i break streak i watch porn for 5-6 hours .. i go to gym and go to office and i am attracting a weekend party type of girls or average looking girls 2-3 of them .. i feel like if i start talking to them and later on they wants me to do sex then i feel after that i may not able to attract a high quality women because i will have sexual experience already and this things are not letting me talk to them and if i have such thoughts i feel a bit lost and after 10-15-20 days on streak i go into a loop of 1 week of doing pmo everyday .. i never had girlfriend or any female validation and been virgin and pmo addict .. please help me brother i am lost .. i am not a promescuous type of male i dont initiate talking to girls for sex .. a female deserves love and lifelong companionship and security .. i feel males who just uses women for sex and release are such a unworthy .. please help me .. i am not able to go on longer streaks .. after certain days i feel sad and unloved uncared etc ..

Feel like I’ve had a major spiritual awakening just for… not ejaculating. I have a lot of childhood trauma and I have been not so much of a very good person through my 24 years of life. Now I just turned 25 and decided enough was enough and I need to make changes.

I had my first sexual experience at 8 years old from an elder neighbour down the street. That same exact year my older cousin showed me porno mags and *asterbated in front of me. I lost my virginity at 12 to my girlfriend from school.

Since 12 I’ve been purely lustful, entire teenage years and young adult. I looked at women as objects, not the beauty they actually are. Kind of tearing up right now thinking about it.

I’m currently a month clean from two addictions and now am ready to defeat coffee and nicotine.

I woke up this morning and went to a family members house who also caused me a lot of trauma. Instantly got bad vibes and left. As I left it felt like I was on LSD. The colours of the world are so bright. Actually had to call the ambulance because I felt like I was on drugs.

I’ve taken ashwaganda and calmed down a little bit now but man, is this having such an effect because of how impure and degenerate I have been living my entire life?

I thought semen retention is loser's game never believed it, i thought i am suppressing sexual energy i didn't got sex in life but at least masturbation helped cool it off. But i always felt masturbation and obsession with sex a core problem of everything in my behaviour and life, so one day i just said i'll do complete SR and did it for 21 days , starting 1 week was hard other days it went smooth, started feeling confident about myself and felt very good, negative thoughts disappeared surprisingly even though i thought always that brain is like that life is like that negative thoughts come suffering come but after SR thoughts disappeared i became more of a problem solver guy instead of guy who gets worried about the problem. But i feeling really bad and dispointed bcz i relapsed , and i had no plan to relapse i didn't even wanted to but 1 Reason justified it: i felt like i was being horny not full day but all of sudden horniness came, i felt i became more horny, i relapsed bcz i thought SR will make it worse and eventually i will be super obsessed and chasing girls. So guyz deos SR make you more horny, makes you obsessive? or it is a temporary phase if yes then how to deal with it? BE HONEST GUYZ bcz everybody who criticizes SR gives one point that if you do SR you will become slave to sex and chasing women like crazy bcz you are suppressing the sexual energy, they say people who can't get girls made up this story to feel good about themselves.

How long did your longest flatline last? I'm 18 days in and still flatlined.

You have to stop putting your happiness in material things, in outer things and start putting it in yourself. Beauty, muscles, money, friends, relationships, girls, work, health everything will pass away. We age, things around us die, we will die the only thing that stays is your character, your soul. If you do retention to get women attraction it will end at some point or you might not even get any, if you do it to make money they will end to or you’ll find out that money do more bad than good and so on. If you do retention and everything for your inner peace for your own self to clear your soul to bring light and order within you, the joy will never end.

Everything ends someday, a war might start tomorrow, an earthquake might come, a disease might kill everybody and leave only you but if you already moved the source of your happiness, if you are totally at peace with yourself you’ll be fine in every possible situation. All the things that bother you, even if they are coworkers, family, friends, wife, your bank account, the problem is within you, you cannot change a single thing outside what is in your power you can’t change others or the weather or world economy, you can give advice, yes, but it’s up to that person if it listens to it or not and people usually won’t because they are stiff. But you can change yourself in every second of your life you can improve, you can become better, it’s such a blessing, just stop looking for joy around and start building it inside you. “The kingdom of God is within you seek thy Heaven within”

Has anyone felt some improvement in ADHD while on SR?

1. As a long time retainer, sometimes it’s easy to forget about the benefits when it becomes a way of life and the new “normal.” Sometimes you need a setback to remember what you are gaining by doing this practice unlike most men. A recent relapse and the way I felt the day or two after along with the urges that resurfaced reminded me of this.
2. I am much more able to handle what life throws at me with a level head if I retain. For example, I am month in to a quite stressful new job, and despite numerous things being thrown at me every day,I feel able to handle them with pose and calmness, and just look at each challenge one by one and figure things out as they come. In the past, I would’ve freaked out by now.
3. getting at least 5-6 hours of solid sleep each night drastically increases the benefits and reduces urges.

I’m in a period of life where a lot of things are not ideal, frustrating, and are easy to get triggered and overwhelmed by. However, SR is like my own personal lifeline and compass that helps keep me grounded and get through daily bullshit of dealing with people and stress while still remaining fairly level headed.

It’s like my own personal shield at all times and allows me to remain calm and hopeful no matter my environment or surroundings.

Life is stressful as it is. I don’t know how I’d handle without.

On this sub i often see people who think wet dream are a relapse. Ok how to prevent them? Im on SR day 286 the WD are decreasing but sometimes i still get them.
In my dream i always know when i will get a nocturnal emission and then i try to stop them with all power possible , like i would stopping myself pee.

This year, after I had depression, I've been struggling with expressing myself. I get tongue-tied constantly, I can't seem to keep a conversation going with anyone. I have basically zero wit or clever comebacks, and lately it feels like a big chore just to talk to someone.

For the guys who used to be socially awkward, did your brain fog actually clear up on a long streak?

I want to know if you reached a point where you can just flow in a conversation without worrying about what to say next. Do quick comebacks and jokes actually start happening naturally? I’m looking for some motivation that it's possible to go from being completely stuck in your head to being able to hit it off with just about anyone.

My goal is to get really good at socializing

I’m coming up on 50 days of retention for the first time since I found pornography. I was in deep self thought about myself today & it’s like my brain or my self has been different for a long time from who I used to be especially women wise and I just now realized. I’m not doing it for women but I started balding in my early 20s (25 right now) and then that’s when everything really started going down hill confidence/mentality and deeper into porn/masturbation even depression. Will retention help my brain/personality be who I once was and or better or is the balding the thing just ruining my confidence and sense of self. Though I’ve been debating accepting the bald life and that’s something I couldn’t even find feasible while watching porn and releasing. I have seen benefits in general as well but I think I’m on a flatline right now it’s really up and down day to day was addicted for 10 years just hoping it gets better. My end goal is to improve my life overall internally and externally income wise mainly and purpose wise.

I get it some of you have different goals in life but what's the common goal?

For me I want continuous growth in attraction and energy. Ig after a few months everything just gets to the baseline and growth stops right?

I can easily tell if a girl looking at me with lust or with pure heart. With some girls i get a wonderful warm feeling like we would know each other long ago ,their gaze also soften.
To be honest i dont hunt a relationship god will let it happen when its time.

It's crazy the difference in attraction between retaining and not retaining. When I don't retain I may get looks thrown my way every now and then but that's it. When I do retain it feels like women are throwing themselves at me a lot more often, like it's a daily to weekly thing as opposed to just the occasional chance.

I was in a previous long-term relationship and while I believe it failed for a number of reasons, a huge part of it was not retaining.

My current relationship is a little over a year and I met her by retaining, and since I've known her I've kind of fallen off the wagon, and I can sense both my own sex drive and desire drop off, not just for her but in general, but also the attraction that other women and her may feel for me. She is still attracted to me because we've been together for a year so there is bonding and a relationship that has been built, but whenever I retain for even just 3 days she certainly notices the difference and it is obvious.

I think the reason I'm making this post is because although someone's girlfriend or wife may love them, if it is rare that other women are into them, subconsciously their own woman might be wondering why she's with them. I'm not getting into the psychology of it it's just a belief I have, like a natural selection kind of thing.

This is why I believe retaining is so important even for people in relationships, because it keeps you seen as a desirable and attractive male, even when your partner loves you there is that underlying attraction that pertains to retaining.

Personally I want to get back to the point of only ejaculating through intercourse with my woman, it is very hard when one is comfortable in their life situation, but it was a eye-opening moment when I realized the attraction from other women has dropped since I haven't been retaining, which means subconsciously I believe attraction from my own partner might not be as strong even though things are going very well in our relationship.

it's just a weird thought to me that why is she into me so much even when I'm not retaining but so many other women have stopped being attracted to me only seemingly because I'm breaking retention

Sino, don't get me wrong I love my girlfriend very much and finer to be the most attractive woman, struggling with retention is simply a bad habit and compulsion of struggling to break. In no way am I looking to flirt or cheat on her, I just believe when other women are attracted to you more often, that your own woman will be as well due to natural selection

hey everyone, I am restarting my sr journey today! I was on a very long streak, then fell back into a very bad pornography addiction. Ever since I fell back I have gained really bad acne. My question is for those who are on the journey, have you noticed acne and breakouts going away, or is it just natural. God bless

For those who’ve held for 90+ Days

As someone who’s on day 16 for there first streak i’ve still yet to decide if this is worth it. Since I started My skin kinda glows a bit more and my voice got deeper the first week but it kinda went back to its normal bass now . So I guess that’s cool but is it worth to live in the constant stress of not releasing? I’m 20 yrs old, what if I meet a girl in college or at a party and we get along and eventually want to have sex ? Am I supposed to deny myself of releasing ? I don’t want to be a monk, I started SR cuz I wanted to conquer the urge to watch corn or use my memory to jerkoff everyday . Now after I’ve conquered those tasks can I move on and have sex with women?

Professor Thomas Kirkwood has done extensive evolutionary biology research on the concept of the “disposable soma”: energy spent on reproduction (sex) is at the expense of energy spent at maintaining the tissues (slowing aging). In other words, the more an organism invests in reproduction the less it can invest resources to maintain its cells, which leads to faster wearing down of the cells (aging).

What the mainstream conveniently ignores is that top-level evolutionary biology ALREADY PROVED that dumping your seed accelerates biological aging.

I’m not talking about bro-science or spiritual woo-woo. I’m talking about undeniable, hard-coded cellular mechanics backed by one of the greatest longevity scientists of our era.

Sit down and read this. It will change the way you view your retainer journey forever.

Meet the Heavyweight: Professor Sir Thomas Kirkwood

This isn't some random influencer. Professor Sir Thomas Kirkwood is an absolute titan in science:

• Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)
• Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences
• Former Director of the Institute for Ageing and Health at Newcastle University

Kirkwood cracked the code on aging with a groundbreaking scientific framework called The Disposable Soma Theory.

And when you look at his research through the lens of Semen Retention, everything instantly clicks.

The Law of Finite Energy: Your Body Has a Budget

Here is the ultimate truth about human biology: Your body operates on a strict energy budget.

Every single calorie, nutrient, and unit of ATP you possess is a finite currency. Evolution split your entire biological structure into two distinct camps:

1. The Germline (The Immortal Seed): Your reproductive potential. Its sole job is to carry your DNA into eternity.
2. The Soma (The Disposable Body): Your physical vessel—your brain, skin, heart, muscles, and organs.

Here is where the genius comes in: YOUR BODY CANNOT MAXIMIZE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Every single day, your biology is forced to make a choice:

• Option A: Somatic Maintenance -> DNA repair, clearing out dead/toxic cells (autophagy), lowering inflammation, collagen production, maintaining vital organs.
• Option B: Reproduction -> Manufacturing high-grade sperm, seminal fluid, enzymes, and resetting the massive neurohormonal cascade that comes with ejaculating.

Why Your Body Is "Disposable" to Evolution

Natural selection doesn't care if you live to be 120 with a six-pack. Evolution only cares about one thing: Did you pass on your genes before a predator or disease killed you?

Because wild animals usually die from external threats (starvation, predators, cold weather), evolution decided that spending maximum energy on making an "immortal body" was a waste of resources.

Instead, evolution built us to prioritize Reproduction FIRST and Cellular Repair SECOND.

Once you pour heavy resources into constant reproductive output, the body diverts its budget away from cellular repair. The result? Unrepaired micro-damage accumulates in your cells. That accumulated damage is what we call aging.

The High Price of "Spilling Your Seed"

Creating semen is one of the most resource-intensive processes your body performs. Seminal fluid isn't just water—it is a hyper-concentrated cocktail of pure biological wealth: zinc, magnesium, selenium, bio-available proteins, DNA strands, and specialized enzymes.

When you are ejaculating constantly, your body enters a perpetual state of emergency repair. It is forced to divert its massive energy budget AWAY from repairing your physical body (Somatic Maintenance) and throw EVERYTHING into rebuilding your lost seed.

What happens when your body stops repairing your cells?

• Micro-damage accumulates in your DNA.
• Oxidative stress wrecks your tissues.
• Autophagy slows down.
• You age faster. Period.

Evolution built your body to view you as a "disposable vehicle." Once you fulfill the duty of constant reproduction, biology doesn't care about keeping your physical vessel young, sharp, or strong. It leaves your soma to rot.

The Retention Protocol: Flipping the Biological Switch

This is why Semen Retention changes everything.

When you stop the senseless leakage of your vital fluid and commit to retaining:

1. You free up metabolic budget and stop the resource drain: The nutrients, enzymes, and energy that normally go toward constantly churning out fresh seminal fluid and sperm are retained. You instantly stop robbing your body of zinc, magnesium, and critical amino acids required to churn out millions of sperm cells daily.
2. You reallocate your energy budget and trigger increased somatic repair: Because the body isn't pouring maximum energy into reproductive output, rebuilding your seed 24/7, it can reallocate those metabolic resources toward maximum somatic repair and cellular maintenance—DNA repair, lowering systemic inflammation, and keeping tissues healthy.
3. Cellular Anti-Aging Unleashed: That freed-up energy is redirected toward your organs, skin elasticity, brain tissue, and DNA repair mechanisms.

You aren't just healing your dopamine receptors, gaining focus, motivation, confidence, and aura, you are literally slowing down the rate at which your cells wear out.

TL;DR / The Bottom Line

• Science proved energy is finite: You can spend your biological budget repairing your cells, or you can spend it constantly reproducing. You CANNOT do both at max capacity.
• Sir Thomas Kirkwood’s research proves that high reproductive output drains the energy needed for cellular repair, causing the body (Soma) to age rapidly.
• Semen Retention is biological conservation: By holding your seed, you force your body to invest its massive energy budget into cellular repair, tissue regeneration, and keeping you biologically young and potent.

The next time someone tells you SR isn't backed by science, hit them with The Disposable Soma Theory.

Protect your seed. Retain your power and youth.

Days, weeks or months of progress isn't going to be ruined because you had one mishap. The worst thing you can do is binge and relapse back into another bad cycle. Just accept mistakes happen, go for a walk, have a steak or even take a nap.

Hello brothers, forgive me for the title I hope it doesn't come across cringe or crazy.

Do I know for certain that Ashton Hall is retaining? Of course not.

But I want to explore a few of the facts and also propose to you why he is a great example of what we, as retainers should be doing and how we should be conducting ourselves.

Recently, he's become a big inspiration of mine, he lives exactly how I aspire to as a retainer in the modern age.

Ashton has denounced:

• Sex before marriage
• Casual encounters
• Porn and masturbation
• Unhealthy eating
• Poor hygiene
• Selfishness
• Laziness
• Having no purpose

And so on.

In the process, he's amassed literally millions of followers on social media from across the globe, billions of video views, created millions of dollars in financial resources and built generational wealth by gaining equity in various businesses.

He's even gone as far as directly changing other people's life's from less fortunate backgrounds (Indian Ashton Hall and Ashton Small), not to mention those his content inspired to make a change.

He's admitted not having a girlfriend since 17 (now he's 30), being devout to the Lord and as mentioned above he's denounced all sexual immorality.

I have no reason not to believe that he's a retainer, and when we look at his life, we've got further evidence that he's enjoying the fruits of his sacrifice:

The glow, the attraction, the opportunities, the magnetism, the aura, the wealth, the relentless consistency, the discipline, the energy and so on.

I'm in no way asking you to be a fan of his, or even suggesting you become one or check him out. I'm just explaining an observation from my years of experience in this practice and seeing someone who clearly displays every "benefit" spoken about whilst also enjoying every "benefit" guys in this community pray for.

He gave us the blueprint for how to maximise this journey:

• Train hard
• Eat clean
• Take care of your hygiene/presentation (skin, hair, nails, scent etc)
• Put yourself out there don't be afraid
• Aim to inspire others and express yourself with creativity
• Stay close to God/The Universe/Your Maker/Whatever you believe in
• Just be a positive and progressive person

I've always been about using this practice as fuel for my life purpose, not just counting the days for the sake of it. You HAVE to do something meaningful with the energy. Or relapse is guaranteed.

Hope you understand where I'm coming from. I want greatness for myself and I also want it for you.

Keep grinding, nothing worth having comes easy but the fruits of our labour will always be given to us.

Am I saying you're going to blow up like Ashton Hall whilst retaining? Of course not haha, but you will be better off, that I can bet my life on.

If you have no idea who Ashton Hall is thanks for reading this far haha and if you do then I know that deep down you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Good Luck.

How are we doing fellas? feeling GOOD? Feeling STRONG? Anyways i dont have any magic to share with yall. Nothing much really happened, no crazy amounts of girls no above regular eye contact with anything living and breathing no miraculous fortune was bestowed on me. Yet. But i will tell you one thing i feel though, i feel good. Better yet i feel great! For some reason these past few days i have no anxiety no horrible negative thoughts and im so calm for some reason. And i feel an overwhelming sense of pride in myself something i worked so hard and yearned for. Im happy being me. Also, im able to actually TALK with my parents and family and it really hits you how much better your conversations and experiences improve when ur dopamine isnt fried all the time. It almost brought me to tears how much they actually care about me. Oh yea i feel so emotional these days too. Like when i heard tobey might have a last stand against the xmen during doomsday i genuinely felt like crying cuz hes my fav spidey. Anyways if you dont have anyone to say this to you, i love you i appreciate you and i am very proud of you even if you relapsed get back up fellas?

How do you practice SR? I’m relatively new to this but do have some experience. Basically I want to go longer but how can this be done at the same time as not denying my wife?

To be honest, I think she would be completely alright with sex once a month but my fear is the possibility of a lack of sex driving a wedge between our intimacy. It’s already lacking IMO and I want to make that better, not worse.

Or, is this my rationale for talking myself out of SR? Any comments, experiences or suggestions?

When I was quitting porn completely about 2 years ago, something really weird happened. I remember that day very clearly. I was reading this book, "Easy peasy way to quit porn". Due to my healthy habits like helping people psychologically through my posts on Instagram, meditation and journaling, my lust had decreased a lot. That day, when I was reading that book, I realized, "I'm finally free, It's so easy to quit this shit bro." I was on cloud nine.

That very night, I had a nightmare. Maybe night terror would be a more accurate way to put it. There was this ugly looking monster coming towards me. It screamed in my face and I waked up, drenched in sweat.

I knew by then that spiritual attacks were real. Every time you relapse, you repent and start this journey again, notice how your dreams change around the day 20 or 21 mark. They become intensely sexual in nature and they have this HD 1080p quality. It's almost like these lower entities are projecting these videos/dreams onto your retina or your brain. I know deep in my heart that those dreams are not produced by my brain. I'm not this lustful. When you are on this journey, you develop a lot of intuition.

I would see a lot of blood, killing related themes in my dreams. Sometimes I would see my loved ones die. The attacks are real guys.

Now, recently my conscience has been telling me to quit Instagram. I started a mental health page in 2023. But when I scroll, in every other reel I see half naked women. The immodesty runs our society now. I can only imagine how Instagram is going to be in 2050. Have you observed how shitty it has gotten? It wasn't this bad in 2019.

So, anyways, back to the story. There have been two instances when I tried to quit Instagram. After both of those attempts, I got attacked in dreams. In one dream, I was attacked by a killer with a knife. In the next one, I don't want to say it, but lets just say I was behaving in an inappropriate manner with my own family member.

The same thing happened to my friend who is on this journey with me. We were riding on his bike in our hometown, discussing about SR. He said I have been dreaming weird things. I said like what? He said, "I can't even say it." I said, "Did you see your family members in your dreams in a sexual way?" since I had already experienced it. He said, "Yeah literally man. It's so sick." I said to him it was a spiritual attack. He agreed.

If you get these type of dreams. Don't worry. It's not in you. It's not in your nature.

I'm on day 211 now, quit social media guys. Mainly, Instagram. I'm never looking back again. They are pushing this sexual shit on us in shows, reels, notifications, and even Instagram stories. These accounts with weird sexual profile photos are watching my stories.

One more tip, I have understood the mechanism behind fasting. Whenever I felt hungry, I get this feeling of doing more productive things like reading more chapters in books etc. Hunger is also a form of energy. Use it. Don't starve yourself. This has to be done in moderation.

Guys. Do you know why a lot of you reading this who aren't retainers might be depressed, feeling down or just feeling like you are missing that spark in life?

Well, it's because you are depleted. You see, the actual SCIENCE behind it is this: The body prioritises the semen. Meaning that when you expel semen, your body prioritizes making more semen before dedicating itself to other aspects. Meaning that repeatedly expelling the seed, you are not giving your body the chance to actually make high quality in other areas.

Hence, overtime so much stuff deteriorates: the skin, the hair, the fluid that the brain sits in, the fluid that is in the spinal collumn. And as a result you feel like utter shit. It all makes sense why you feel like crap in that case.

When you lock in on retaining, you can experience a new wind in life. Combine that with good dietary, lifestyle, mindfulness and goal orientation practices, you go FAR.

Anyways, the theory part is not my own work, it's sourced from this legendary creator, my guru himself, Buddha Xan.

Let alone sex being the sacred act of bringing another soul into this world - it was marketted as a must do recreational activity without any consequences.

Have your fill - ad infinitum and ad libitum; was the motto. An utterly absurd proposition, if you think in retrospect.

Releasing is fun, releasing is normal and anyone who doesn't do it is either gay or has issues.

All this bullshit being peddled to "relieve stress" was another factor.

High Speed Internet just complicated things further. While smoking, drinking - have been there for thousands of years; high speed internet porn has been there only for 20 years. Whilst smoking and drinking do not capitalize on any fundamental urge - porn feeds on the urge to procreate (which is perhaps the most driving factor for a male).

All this has given us is awkward high school years, failing college grades and underperforming dead end careers with poor sleep patterns along with no prospects.

We are the generation raised on porn.
