Semen Retention

_Trigglypuff_ · 2017-07-17T16:35:52+00:00

I think porn is just as big a problem as jerking off too much. Having so many images and videos available so easily can't be good. I think back to how many videos I would have going at the same time, how many different girls I would jerk it to in the same session. Pathetic. I know people say the science (dopamine etc) may not be that solid but if I jerk it to porn for an hour (and time flies) I certainly feel like my nervous system has been fried. Too much stimulation.

I don't think our minds have evolved so as to be able to watch modern porn without it having detrimental effects on other aspects of our lives and our mindsets as men. I don't buy into the conspiracy theory that it was designed to subordinate the masses, but it certainly has that effect. Some TV shows and films can at least expand your mind in the same way that some books do, and I know nothing about video games but I assume some of them can as well. But porn? It has no benefit at all. Even junk food gives you some nourishment ffs.

I don't think it's too bad to jerk off once in a while. If you've achieved a lot that day and feel like you might be getting a bit too "needy", why not? Jerking off doesn't give me any feelings of shame at all when its done in moderation.

There are some people who think no porn/no fap is a load of bullshit. Fair enough. If you watch porn and jerk off every day and feel like you're fulfiling your potential good for you. I know I definitely don't work like that though.

This needs to be addressed.

I love what nofap does to me. But I really hate that bluepill nofap sub. Filled with white knights and betas saying omg I got a hug today!!!!!!!

I'll be really down for a redpillnofap sub.

WolfofAnarchy · 2017-07-17T15:17:31+00:00

Honestly, NoFap has just turned my life around. I'm 21, and never could I figure out why since 12-13 I've been anxious, lazy, average and why I never really felt 'ALIVE'. I know now.

I've been watching other men fuck insanely hot girls I could never get for about 9 years now. My brain believes it's a rockstar, and believes I fucked at least twice a day for many years.

No wonder it didn't decide to improve and build strength. It didn't need to. It was cumming daily. I was fulfilling my biological duties, and thus I was complete.

But then it stopped. I found NoFap, saw the benefits and the science. I stopped masturbating completely. Or, tried to. 2 fucking years I've been trying to quit this shit and I'm on Day 14. Finally I've reached two weeks.

I feel more energetic (don't need as much sleep anymore), more confident, happier, more purposeful, stronger, and just better...

And I feel this way every time I quit PornMasturbationOrgasm. PMO is truly a fantastic tool to control men.

Have you seen what happens to a vicious, dominant and assertive dog/bull when they get their balls chopped the fuck off? Do they retain their strong sense of purpose / dominance and masculinity? No, they do not. Guess what happens when you cum daily to pixels. Same shit.

scarfox1 · 2017-07-17T17:37:33+00:00

It's impossible not to in 12 years. Wet dreams will force it out, it has to go somewhere.

NakedAndBehindYou · 2017-07-17T17:51:24+00:00

In my experience, sex doesn't drain me like masturbation does. I'm not sure what the biological difference is, but masturbation leaves me tired and out of willpower for the rest of the day, whilst sex doesn't.

HappySmaug · 2017-07-17T15:47:10+00:00

I'd like to add that having too much sex with women will have the same negative effects as jerking off all the time. It's fun at first but you will notice your energy level plummeting and your mind will become a haze. Moderation is very important when it comes to sex.

lieutenant-dan416 · 2017-07-17T21:30:45+00:00

I coupled the semen retention with a daily meditation practice and consistent workout regimen and noticed that my life began to seriously change for the better.

So you think it's the "semen retention" rather than the daily mediation or the workout regime that's giving you the results? You're cracking me up

2017-07-17T15:47:58+00:00

" Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires.

Desires? Yes, possibly it is. But typically 'sex' is over-represented as the driving force behind all human behaviour - generally because in our cushy Western world things more pressing like shelter, food, water and clothing are all readily available - and it skews the objectivity somewhat.

You've seen Maslow's Hierarchy of needs right? It's fluid, not to be taken as written, things move up and down depending on environment and severity of situation.

Just to be clear; you haven't made a mistake, you're right in what you're saying and the book is right to state it as is. But 'Needs' and 'Desires' get conflated by morons, so I thought I'd type this.

Nice work OP, on the post and your progress.

NeutralReiddHotel · 2017-07-18T16:11:05+00:00

Here's my observations;

I had done NoFap for 4 months. In those four months: - I ran a mile almost daily, 4-6 days a week.

I started doing body exercises, pushups, situps, etc. a month in.
I picked up reading, and read 3 books for the first time since forced reading in High School.
I re-wrote my project video game even though I had been dreading it for years. A lot of code needed touching up.
I got massively better at the video game I compete in.
I started cooking most of my meals.
The social anxiety I experienced at work was almost gone.

Here's me with my 8th month old girlfriend, having sex daily up until the past 2 months

Don't run. Go to the gym at most 2 times a week.
Work on my game as much as possible. Try to do 2 days a week at least.
Read daily. Have finished +10 books at this point. Most of them novels.
Video game life took a hit. This is not too bad as I'd rather be banging my chick.
Social anxiety isn't there but more of a numbness. I don't feel a reason to be talking to anyone.

Now I'm even posting this because I've gone 3 days without sex. I just came back from a trip to Vegas and have been exploring every part most of the day so when I came back to the hotel room with my gf I was too tired to have sex. I was thinking of watching porn right now but decided against it so I blow my load on my girl.

However, this post caught my eye because I saw you noticed something I did.

Blowing my load either on my chick or porn, BOTH sap my energy. You're not alone there. And after four months of not blowing my load vs. blowing my load almost daily for months (mind you the first 3 months were sex 2-3 a day... fuck knows how I kept up) I can definitely tell the difference. I might actually consider not having sex for a few months, but what concerns me is not having sex with a girl I have almost no problems with is in itself creating problems where there are none. Plus I don't really want to too much, but I definitely noticed I have gotten lazier.

I have definitely noticed man.

Sophrosyne100 · 2017-07-17T15:47:58+00:00

Semen retention is incredibly powerful. I remember reading a story about Steve Jobs having sex with pulitzer prize winner Jennifer Egan in college and he stopped before finishing and said "I can't ejaculate, I need that energy to gain wealth and power".

I've been sober off drugs and alcohol for two years but NoFap is what i've always struggled with. If I could beat it I know my life would be a lot better.

I'm curious as to how you stay in such rigorous monk mode? Whenever I feel like i'm doing well, women become much more interested. Then I end up dating and ruining my diet, sleep schedule, and everything. This crabs in a bucket thing is real.

iwasbornred · 2017-07-17T17:55:10+00:00

When you aren't blowing loads, your body is tricked into believing it needs to be more powerful in order to be able to blow a load.

So, ya, this shit works.

I don't think complete abstinence for long periods is necessary to reap the full benefits.

After you banged that chick, you felt drained. Duh- sex is exercise and if it isn't you aren't doing it right. But once you ate a good meal, slept, did your next workout, and ate again... you're pretty much back to normal.

If I go three days without busting, then bust, it's a giant fucking load. This is how it should be every time, and the pure ecstasy of these orgasms is far better than any orgasm you have when doing it regularly.

We are conditioned to seek instant gratification though, so, it is what it is.

nasil_boyle_superim · 2017-07-17T16:58:40+00:00

Totally agreed. Combining nofap and TRP is one of the greatest thing i had done for myself.

vengefully_yours · 2017-07-17T18:26:26+00:00

More religious bullshit. Confirmation bias too.

Why do you think you've got a problem with jerking off? Guilt. Why do you feel that useless shit? Because your religion tells you every sperm is sacred, and you shouldn't waste it. So you follow your religion closely then? Get married, have kids, happily ever after? Fucking right, as if. More like divorce because your religion is not making the fucking laws. That sacred sperm is now costing you thousands a month. Good luck with that, because the boat you're looking for sank a hundred years ago.

The fuckwit spreading this shit is a religious nut. He wants you to retain your guilt, buy his bullshit, follow his dogma. You guys are young and don't know any better. Porn is kinda boring when you don't have guilt and hang ups about sex. It's like drinking after you're 21. It's the illicit part of it that causes the roller coaster in your mind.

Here's what happens when i don't get off for too long, like deployments where pussy was not possible and being alone long enough to rub one out early happens. I got pissed, frustrated, short tempered, and my brain went sorta haywire. If I'm too fucking horny, I can't think. You guys seem to think that's a good thing, probably because all your life you've been inundated with stimuli, tv, movies, video games.. you're the rat ringing the bell to get a food pellet. The human version of Pavlov's dog. The guilt makes you want to jerk off more, because the endorphins alleviate it for a while, but then guilt comes back and fucks with your head.

How does this affect interactions with girls? It makes you desperate, horny as fuck, wound up like a spring, and thirsty. What the fuck does the sidebar say about being any and all of those? Oh, you haven't read the sidebar. If you get laid acting that way, I'd be amazed. So you're not getting laid, you feel guilty about jerking it, you're getting more desperate every day... That's called a negative feedback loop.

The religion is playing on that, using your human nature to make you feel guilty about wanting to fuck. They do the same thing with abstinence only. The teen pregnancy rates are far higher in states with abstinence only, lower where kids are taught how not to get knocked up. The effect, it keeps them poor, the poor rely on religion for hope, and are made to feel guilty about their lives, despite it being a setup from the start.

All you're doing is exacerbating the problem by putting too much emphasis on masturbating. It's not about jerking off, it's about the focus you put on it. All or nothing, black and white. A man who can't have just one drink a day, but has to drink every day all day is called an alcoholic. It's a mental thing, and there's always a root cause of addictions buried in your head.

Go ahead, limit yourself to absolutely no jerking, reinforce the idea in your head, create more guilt about being human. It works very well to control you.

LiveAFTSOV · 2017-07-17T17:17:22+00:00

In this thread: bunch of abstinent mgtows who are afraid of cumming in vaginas circle jerking through the screen since they can't do it in real life

Whatever works dude

illusiveab · 2017-07-17T15:25:33+00:00

You mean people have finally figured out that jerking off is instant gratification? And that there might be benefits to delayed gratification? This is nothing new. The same thing is true of porn, it's just gratification. Holding your seed and not getting laid is fucking retarded, but holding it to enhance your drive to have sex, to approach women, and to mitigate jerking off for the sensation are solid concepts.

Sarcasticus · 2017-07-17T18:55:15+00:00

Do you practice retrograde ejaculations or just abstain all together?

vandaalen · 2017-07-17T17:45:21+00:00

Fucking faggots of the pathetic church of NoFap with their mystical powers from blowing your load in the sheets instead of your hand.

Fucking bullshit and on top fucking annoying and provoking. The fuck you are doing is the same bullshit that society has done for a very long time:

Shame masculine sexuality which masturbation is a fucking part of.

Your spinal chord will not shrink, you will not grow seven tits on the back and there will be no disadvantages from regularly cleaning your pipeline by jacking off.

If you suffer from porn addiction, go and fix the underlying problems.

If you really believe that refraining from beating your meat once a day helps you to lead a successful life, you are not only not better than some random chinese retard, snorting pulverized gorilla balls to benefit his stamina, but you are also a lazy faggot who is looking for quick fixes to his life problems.

Pro tipp: Go fucking lift and jack off twice and learn that jacking off grows your muscles.

go fuck some bitches and you don't need to worry about this

2017-07-18T11:29:40+00:00

Yes to having some good sex with some retention, no to porn. Masturbation and porn is tricking your body and ressources into thinking that you're an apex fucker. It mess up your hormones and brain, makes you crave more dopamine to be happy and you become addicted to all kind of shit to get it off or up as time goes on.

The majority who suck at gaming on this sub would be better off if they didn't take porn and masturbation as an option. Just the fact that the body produce more pheromones when abstaining make gaming and attracting girls easy. You have to try it to see it. There's also a spiritual side to it. All the married ppl with drifting marriages or couples would be better off if they didn't cheat each others with porn. Clear correlation betwen the increase and the worsening of dating.

So yeah some retention and nofap has been of huge good for me. I've practiced it for years instinctively before all that reddit stuff for attraction and it always proved right. Now i'm trying to kick it for good and life is good.

yes_we_can_t · 2017-07-17T18:52:51+00:00

I'm curious to know if you guys think this is BS

I think it's complete BS and placebo. You can achieve the same while fucking plates left and right. I only agree with NoFap if it's getting you out of the house and approaching women instead of just jacking it all day.

One of my favorite red pill books is The Way of The Superior Man, and he unfortunately ends the book with this crap.

I absolutely love to come in my gf's mouth. I find it incredibly intimate and hot. Do I lose my energy? No!

I'm cuddling with her because she loves it and deserves it, but my mind is already racing around about how to proceed with my passions and projects.

Right now I'm in a different country, and she sends photos and videos for me. I jack it to that or porn so I don't need to think about sex or women. I don't lose any energy, it just removes the need for sexual release. Far less distracting to spend 10 minutes doing that every day.

ap426 · 2017-07-17T15:26:34+00:00

Literally just started nofap a few weeks ago! I'm a 23yr old virgin btw and I was on it nearly everyday after I broke up. Primarily because I was so stressed because of work and needed a release.

That breakup was after oneitis. Now I'm on track secured another top job earning well above what people are earning at my age. If it comes to it i'll just blow my load in to some stranger. However, I've realized I've started to dominate like I used to in terms of shutting people down in meetings.

I've also realized I'm more happier and there definitely is a glow. I'm getting more looks from girls too!

Going on 4 months of semen retention. It's the greatest thing I've ever done.

NeoreactionSafe · 2017-07-18T15:19:36+00:00

There was this one Yogic text I'd read that stated that, if a man in adulthood can retain his semen for 12 years straight, he'll reach an elevated, enlightened state.

Why stop at 12 years?

Go for the gold man... never release your semen and you will become like a god.

Imagine... you would have superpowers better than cartoon heroes.

And think of the bright colors is such a world as well as the clearly defined edges... no more confusing situations where you are faced with choices which are difficult to understand.

Reduce choice... retain semen forever !!!

Recent study suggests your gonna get prostate cancer. Good prostate health requires regular use.

Crapaslinger · 2017-07-17T15:16:40+00:00

I've been doing no fap and I'm on 6 week streak right now. The results are ridiculous, but I'll share one quick anecdote. I was at a family picnic 4th of July weekend at my aunt's house where they've got a basketball hoop on the side of the pool so you can shoot baskets while your swimming. I was always a terrible shot, but I was draining shot after shot from 20-25 feet away (4 in a row from that range at one point). All my cousins were amazed.

Now, this did not happen just because of sperm retention, though I do believe it makes you more powerful. I'm also working out regularly and intensely, watching my diet, practicing tai chi and adhering to my mindset.

Gimleyx · 2017-07-17T17:52:23+00:00

The book "Tao of Love and Sex" talks about this among other things. Good read.

Expectations1 · 2017-07-17T20:05:55+00:00

Experimented with nofap and have been on and off porn nd tried it pornfree and nofap style.

Personally if you were addicted to porn, nofap is the way to go to rewire your brain.

Once youve rewired however, i think masturbation when youre not getting regular sex is fine, as long as the masturbation too doesnt become a bad habit.

Peter_B_Long · 2017-07-17T23:50:42+00:00

I also do NoFap but now I won't go go more than 2 weeks without doing a healthy masturbation (no porn, no fantasizing).

This is true, but it takes more than semen retention. You need to also do meditation to acquire supernatural abilities.

Semen retention are for plebs. Ankhing is the way to go.

SunAsRock · 2017-07-18T03:05:03+00:00

I've trying semen retention but the biggest problem I have are the wet dreams... Occasionally start to happen past the 2 weeks without fap... I tried focusing on not thinking anything sexual before go to bed, and even sometimes when I was into one dream and one sexy girl started to touch me I repeat myself "no, don't do that... I can, just don't cum" and I woke up without cum...

But that's just a few occasions compared to all those times I couldn't make it... Someone knows how to deal with wet dreams?

sniffdat · 2017-07-18T10:01:31+00:00

i can't believe how retarded some posts here are (from both sides).

the truth is nofap is a good thing for social retards and complete beta losers to get a step into the door of self-improvement. its the catalyst to becoming disciplined and get some initial energy to improve your life.

it doesn't give magical powers but neither is it complete BS.

Rakosnik · 2017-07-18T20:23:08+00:00

i cant believe none of you jerkoffs mentioned "taoists secrets of love"

theres more to semen retention if used correctly thats why it never was thaught to the plebs through out millenias

"Chinese aristocrats and adepts seeking the deepest level of fulfillment have long had the capacity to return the energy of the seminal fluid to the brain and vital bodily centers. But ordinary people in our society have, until now, had no technique for recycling this great life power to the body. Most men have found the sexual lure irresistibly attractive and have happily lost their seed when succumbing to it, unaware of the consequences to their health or that there was even an alternative available to them. With frequent ejaculation of sperm vitality ultimately plummets. The big spender loses stamina, his vision begins to weaken, hair tumbles from his skull: he grows old before his time. At first he will not feel drained, but after years of abuse his capacities will begin to drop alarmingly. When the hormonal secretions of the sexual glands are regularly leached out, the body is sapped at its root. Within a period of time that will range from months to decades depending on the endowment of the individual, creative and sexual abilities are halved, and the ability to withstand disease and the frailties of old age is diminished. To regain failing powers, the desperate big spender of vital seed sometimes tries to borrow well-being from hormone injections, "uppers," "downers," intoxicants, megavitamins, hallucinogens, and aphrodisiacs. These substances frantically stuffed into the body may appear to help temporarily. He may seek to regain his dwindling sexual powers with personal power purchased with money or political influence. If he is on a spiritual path, or is surrounded by a loving community of family and friends, this feeling of a failing life power will be slowed.

But so long as the prodigious energy waste continues, decline is inevitable. The organs of digestion will be unable to assimilate sufficient nutritional energies to replace those irrecoverable life energies lost by ejaculation. The Taoist method of cultivating sexual energy recirculates to the body the hormones, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, minerals and electrical energies of the semen. When they are conserved and transformed, one enjoys a marvelous sexual life, improved health, deep inner balance, and rising spiritual consciousness. The Taoist method of love actually stimulates the production of hormonal substances of unusually high quality. One can learn to focus energy on the endocrine glands during the act of love. When the glands are bathed in energy, the quantity of their secretions increases; more importantly, their quality improves. At higher stages in the practice the hormones develop extraordinary properties. The Sexual Kung Fu method allows one to generate and conserve more nervous and hormonal energy than are necessary for ordinary functioning. This excess vitality may be channeled to strengthen the body and to raise mental and spiritual abilities. When lovers are in close embrace subtle Yin and Yang energies are concentrated into vortexes from the sexual region to the head and eventually remain in the head at all times."

Nofap = infertility.

If you want to do this fine, but there is a reason why evolution and mother nature punishes people that go against what is natural and healthy

LordThunderbolt · 2017-07-18T17:12:14+00:00

I firmly believe in it too. Although 2 years is pretty fucking wild if we're being honest. For me, after a while it starts to feel like I have a rock in between my eyebrows. I feel dark af. Its good to reset it once in a while. But semen retention makes me stronger and the gym, better posture, better looking pumps, more focus, deeper voice etc.

Mouthpiece · 2017-07-18T21:18:52+00:00

This is BS. You felt sharper when you quit drugs, of course. Then you got depressed when you nailed some other chick because you realized you were giving up on the girl you'd been wanting for so long.

Do you think successful men practice semen retention? No. Think of Genghis Khan, the ancestor of nearly all of Asia. Think of American presidents like Kennedy and Clinton. Think of athletes like Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain. Think of entertainers like Mick Jagger and Johnny Carson.

The fact is, nearly any man who is successful in life is a notorious pussy hound. I don't think that slaying pussy causes success, but it certainly correlates with it. So yes, the idea of semen retention is just self-abusive bullshit.

Edit: did you notice one name I didn't list to be successful? Napoleon Hill, that's who. He died a penniless failure. The book we now know him for was written by his girlfriend, and most of his accounts of meeting and interview and famous people are completely fabricated. If he actually knew any secret to success, he didn't actually followed.
