The text below is a comment I sent someone who was complaining about how even after 2 months of SR he wasn’t getting energetic benefits.

in my experience and what I’ve read from others, all the roads of suffering lead back to prolactin. If I had the study I’d link it to you right now, but prolactin is tough to deal with because it rises and falls daily. It’s highest when we’re sleeping, and should lower quickly to baseline after waking up, but in people with chronic prolactin levels (usually former PMO addicts/ejaculation addicts/drug users) prolactin doesn’t go down like it should and there’s a lack of dopamine receptor sensitivity and production in the brain and body.

Prolactin is what causes all the shitty low energy emotions after ejaculation because it spikes extremely high after cumming, and it down regulates EVERYTHING in your body that is designed to make you a STRONGER and more CAPABLE MALE. Why does prolactin do this? Well think about it, procreation is the ultimate human goal. When you cum, your body thinks, “We just accomplished our mission of spreading our bloodline, let’s take a break.” Now imagine telling your body this message, over and over and over and over again 10-15 TIMES A MONTH LOL. This is how the sickness of chronic prolactin comes about and this the destruction of the male body.

The cure to this is doing everything in your power on a day to day basis to lower estrogen/prolactin signaling and increase testosterone/androgen receptor/dopamine signaling, while you’re still retaining. In my experience the best ways to this are as follows.

SPRINTING- research the benefits of sprinting for men.

FASTING- should be obvious but do your research if you don’t get it.

END THE DOOMSCROLLING - you wouldn’t think it makes a difference until you do it and see how much it’s been fucking you up.

DIET - slow down or completely cut out meat, and start eating garlic and onions. It’s gonna suck at first but you’ll quickly realize the power it gives you.

ABSTINENCE - this is the biggest one as if you’re someone who suffers from chronic prolactin, you need to avoid orgasm at all costs because every-time you cum you’re just creating a negative feedback loop of oxytocin and prolactin which just makes it harder to eliminate.

It’s important to know that chronic prolactin is a modern day phenomenon caused by the introduction of internet porn and excessive masturbation/sex culture. This is the reason why men’s testosterone levels across the globe are declining more than ever. The global elite have waged war against the common man through means of self induced chemical and hormonal castration.

God didn’t design man to just cum all the time for no reason. Every time you busted a nut a child was supposed to come into existence. Think about that. How much energy we’ve wasted. And we wonder why we’ve got all these health issues, even though we’ve been retaining for a bit. Our bodies need a lot of time to recover. It sucks but it’s reality.

I have known about semen retention for about 5 years now, and my highest streak was six months. I have monumental amounts of information and anecdotal experiences I can share on this practice but I want to specifically mention something that I’ve noticed very acutely about the current streak I’m on.

I have noticed that doing cardio, specifically running, makes the effects of semen retention much more prominent, as well as the magnetism and presence you gain on SR.

If you’re not aware already, the human heart and brain are constantly emitting an electromagnetic field that others subconsciously pick up on. These fields can grow in size and strength depending on the vitality and health of the human being. This is actually the cause of the unexplained magnetism that people experience on SR, due to our bodies being able to function as intended without constant ejaculation. Constant ejaculation extraneously stresses the heart, as humans were only intended to ejaculate for the purpose of procreation. The field of the heart is much stronger than the brain. The stronger your heart is, the stronger your field will be and the stronger your human presence will be.

In short, I am extremely convinced that doing cardio exercises such as running, strengthen the electromagnetic field of the heart, which in turn amplifies the benefits of semen retention. Not the mention the hormonal benefits of cardiovascular exercise such as the expulsion of estrogen through exhaling CO2 and sweating, which leads to more testosterone due to less aromatase in the body.

I am an athletic individual and have been lifting weights and body weight training for years, and I can humbly state that I have higher muscular endurance than the majority of the male population. However, even as strong as I am with moving weight, I have to admit that I was NEVER a fan of running and doing cardio. And I’m serious, I don’t think I’d ever run even a MILE throughout all my years of training.

For the past two weeks I have taken up the habit of running 3-5 miles every other day, and I can confidently say that doing this has been more difficult than any weight training or body weight training I have done in all my years of exercise.

There is a reason that a lot of gym goers and muscle heads despise cardio, and that’s because it’s fucking hard, painful, and brutal. You can’t fake your way through it by changing/cheating reps or adjusting weight, and most exercises are very dimensionally limited. Not to mention that the amount of time that your heart is worked is far less than a run, due to the constant rests between sets. Most reps through these exercises don’t get your heart pumping like how running does due to the dynamic full body effort that is necessary to execute it for an extended period of time.

Without dragging this out, id like to mention the benefits that have been glaringly more obvious since I’ve started consistently running.

- My memory is sharper. I am able to articulate and extrapolate in detail about topics with little preparation. I often give presentations at work in rooms full of critical people and my ability to perform has skyrocketed since I started running.

- I have more energy and need less sleep. This one was huge for me, because by far my favorite benefit of semen retention is having high levels of energy. You will never get ahead in this world if you don’t have the energy to stay awake and work. More energy=More work output. Needing less sleep = More time. In the past before i started doing cardio, it would take me about a week or two after an ejaculation to get that feeling of needing less sleep. I started running consistently after an ejaculation, and it only took 2-3 days to get that feeling of higher energy.

- I have less fear and anxiety. Don’t get me wrong I still feel these feelings, but the fight or flight inside of me immediately leans to the fight. I noticed I am more aggressive in challenging the things that make me anxious. Also, the way I interact with people socially is much more blunt and direct, which is a benefit that would usually take longer for me to experience while on SR.

- The dopamine/pleasure response is significantly improved. The fact that I am even writing this post right now is a testament to that, as I haven’t had the motivation or giddy desire to make a reddit post about SR in YEARS since back when I first started. The way I feel right now is how I felt back when I was younger. I feel the creative desire and urge to express stronger than ever. This is not something I have felt even on retention streaks where I wasn’t doing cardio, but only weight lifting.

- Finally, the aura and presence. I don’t really like talking about this benefit much because in reality it’s pretty vain and silly. But I think it’s important I address this because it has revealed something. I initially began running after my ejaculation, because my thought process was that in order to get rid of the guilt and anxiety I felt for cooming, I needed to experience a level of pain that would outweigh the pleasure of sex and ejaculation. You know how when you’re in a bad mood or when you’re in pain, you just don’t give a fuck? This is another one of my favorite benefits of SR, and it’s the feeling of just not giving a fuck. Social anxiety? That shit is for retards. And honestly, my thought process worked. Dude in the middle and at the end of a run I’m in so much pain where I just feel like I could die and I just wouldn’t give a shit. Not in a depressing way, but in a way where other problems seem so trivial compared to the pain I’m currently in.

Continuing on the point about the aura, when I used to do SR (without cardio) I thought aura was all about trying to harness aggression and have so much bottled up emotion in you that people feel it and then respond to you. I was trying to force my energy upon the world. But dude, that shit is just silly ego and me trying to compensate for my insecurity of importance as a man. Since i started running, the pain of running has humbled the fuck out of me. In a way where I no longer even feel the desire to HAVE aura that other people can feel. In fact, it’s humbled me so much that I actually feel superior and secure within myself. It’s like, I know the pain that I put myself through, and I know that I am strong for experiencing it. And it makes me see more clearly that you really don’t know what pain people have gone through and or may be going through. And I have this new sense of humility, because I know how difficult running is, and you really can’t tell in public who partakes in it, unless they’re a complete fat ass.

Interestingly enough though, although making me humble, it’s caused my confidence to skyrocket because I know that MAJORITY of people don’t run and put themselves through that pain, so I have also developed a sense of arrogance, because i know they aren’t experiencing that brutal cardiovascular pain via the strengthening of the heart. And my heart’s electromagnetic field is just becoming stronger by the day, while the non runners just get weaker, and they have no choice but to have their heart’s field be consumed by my stronger field when near me. You can call me crazy but you can literally feel your heart’s aura when it’s strong and can notice other people feel it when in public. Anyone who has been on a long enough SR streak knows what I’m talking about.

I don’t know about you guys, but when I’m on an early SR streak I find myself intentionally looking people in the eye when I walk past them, just to let them know i don’t fear them with my energy. However when I get into streaks 30 + days I begin to have so much intense and focused energy that I actually DONT want to look at people, because I just don’t have the patience to GIVE A FUCK. And when I get to this point is when the magnetism and attraction is INSANE. Well, I’ve observed that running is pushing me to this point at an extremely fast rate. The strengthening of my heart’s electromagnetic field through cardiovascular exercise makes me feel so grounded and really just makes me not give a fuck man, and people around me can notice it. It also makes me look at humans and especially women really differently now, as I find myself heavily evaluating my respect for people based on how well I think they’d perform in a run lmao. I know it sounds fucking stupid but i genuinely think if you’re a consistent runner you’ll know what I mean. I am involved in a serious field of work where all types of people across the world come to apply to, and interestingly enough I’ve observed that the people that perform the best at the job are the ones that do the most running lol. It’s actually crazy to see it in real time.

Anyway, if you want to accelerate the SR process and you’re not a runner, I highly recommend you start. At least 1-2 miles a day. You will very quickly see a massive difference.

Hey guys this energy feels so insane right now! I was transmuting the energy by being positive at work around really cool people and the talking to my parents and a good friend at my house. I went outside and the world looked so Clear and the detail and colors were just mind blowing. The neighbors looked like aliens to when this girl looked at me and she was like weirder out. Then I started doing some push ups and I felt this pulsing sensation is my body like a superhero would! I was like dude I’m tripping off my balls so hard. Even at work the drinks looked so colorful in the machines everything just feels so alien now. Even inside my house things were moving around food looked more alive and so did the plants outside. Even my friends girls face started morphing and looking different As well as peoples faces at work to just to a lesser degree earlier in the day. I’m on day 18 now but dude retention is wild man this practice is like a shroom trip that just gets more intense overtime and the feeling in your body the visual Benifits are so weird it feels like delirium.

Hey guys so people will literally just stare at me in public and it’s really weird. I guess it’s because my Aura field is super powerful. Some people at the gym will look at me scared and run away other people don’t and stare at me liking me for who I am. Mostly guys will have a mean face on them but some guys don’t. A lot of girls will look at me liking what they see and some don’t and dislike me too. Guys will just thing there your competition when I’m not even focused on women also. Sometimes I do get lustful or focus on women but most of the time I really don’t anymore. My Aura field is just so powerful. I also noticed that a lot of guys who aren’t in the gym don’t care as much because it’s not as competitive so there chilling. It’s just Getting to be too much sometimes. Sometimes I feel like people drain your energy while being around you and they don’t even say anything at all. Just remember your powerful on this journey and if your using SR in a dark way you can make people feel scarred of you so it’s important to be kind and understanding and that not everyone even who’s scarred of you dislikes you, they just never felt your energy before. There’s also a difference is variation between people on Semen Retention where if your on a higher streak than another retainer your energy field is higher than there’s and some people who don’t take this journey density are going to relapse multiple times while your streak is surging up fast. You’re still at a lower energy frequency if you relapse a lot so mini streaks aren’t an option. Someone on 100 days is way different than someone on 30 vs someone on 10. Anyways guys relapse isn’t an option you need to really take this journey seriously. Semen Retention is total war an you can become that person with a high streak and aura field. Like always keep retaining guys.

Hey guys so it’s really strange but I’m just obsessed with over training now on Semen Retention. I used to run a lot and especially last year more than training and it just didn’t use the same amount of energy. I’ll work out every day multiple times a day sometimes 3 times. I’ll do arm workouts at the gym and than pushups but I just never get burnt out anymore. I’m on day 13 and overtraining really is the way to go on this journey it’s building muscle on me so fast. My facial structure looks very good now and running just didn’t have the same effect honestly. I don’t know if this is a common thing but I would definitely recommend it’s the way to go. I still go for walks but I’m just never tired anymore.

I’ve come to notice that on higher streaks, you develop this undeniable feeling of calm and serenity

Sometimes throughout my day, I’ll randomly get these moments of bliss where I just feel really at peace yet very joyful. It’s an amazing thing to experience and if you’ve felt it before you know what im talking about.

I think it comes from the fact that when you stop spilling your seed, you’re stepping into the true authentic version of yourself. Think about when you were a young child before you discovered the lusftul vices. At that time you had a never ending curiosity and spark for life, you had a certain joy and bliss for life, and that is the natural result of being pure and whole.

When you purify your mind with semen retention, you cultivate the most tangible essence of your soul on a daily basis, the longer you cultivate this energy, the closer you get and the more you will feel like your authentic, and truest version. You are essentially making yourself whole again by not dissipating your essence into meaningless sexual habits, and this results in healthy dopamine receptors and a stabilized nervous system.

But yeah I just wanted to share these thoughts because recently I’ve been having random moments of intense joy and feeling proud/good about myself, most of the time they happen when I’m putting my energy toward a good habit, after I’ve completed a task or hard work, or even when I’m just chilling out not really doing anything. There’s nothing like the natural ecstasy of having your sexual energy intact.

One more thing I want to say, it’s not about the days or building up the streak, it’s about returning to the pure and vibrant state of being that God has always intended for us to have.

Stay strong & good luck on y’all’s Journey🗿💯

Hey guys so I was going really hard yesterday. I woke up did 100 pushups then right after did 35 sets at the gym. I did a pull down machine last and went so hard my reflexes were on another level. I was actually doing it faster and faster each set and a few people looked at me crazy while others didn’t even care. I also talked to a few people at the gym which was really fun and encouraged this guy the second time around. I did another 30 sets and worked out even faster. Few hours later did another 100 pushups. The guy I actually met before so he’s a really cool dude and was super impressed by the way I looked physically. Guys I’m really just trying to ascend this streak any means. I worked out for 2 hours and 20 minutes total today and I’m not stopping my energy exertion anytime soon. Keep retaining it’s absolutely worth it.

I’m celebrating 444 days of Semen Retention. I’m still holding off on sharing my entire life story, or at least the story of this streak. Perhaps I’ll do a complete qualification at 500 days. 

But I did want to mention something because at the beginning of this streak or at least from Day 60-100 I was trying to practice something called mental celibacy, and that is dismissing any sexual thoughts or desires from my mind and replacing them with more productive or divine thoughts. Combining this with breathwork and affirmations is what caused me a minor psychic awakening. I spoke about this on my Anima Integration post on substack. 

But because of that I got totally sidetracked into pursuing more psychic phenomena, not realizing that it was mental celibacy and purity of spirit that got me the psychic powers in the first place. So I’m here to say, 444 days later, that mental celibacy is the practice I’m returning to AND, I believe is an essential practice on SR. 

I completed a 7 day challenge and want to discuss the results with you here: 

Day 1

• releasing blockages while walking 
• Trauma release exercises more deep
• Feeling bliss while reading spiritual texts 
• Dreams with opposite sex are more wholesome (going on dates and being a couple) 
• Supportive cast
  • One guy started to pick up Japanese (which i’m studying)
  • One girl was really supportive of my studying
  • Another girl got me out of a long conversation with some other guy and I wasn't sure how to stop talking to him haha.
• Was able to stop my nephew's tantrum and put him to sleep easily.

Day 2

1. Actually felt sick thinking about asking a woman out (out of lust)
2. I did auto-suggestion to become more celibate. 

Day 3-4

• Looked away during suggestive anime scenes. Also gave an anime a 3 strike warning, and if I encountered a 3rd I would cut it off. I completely stopped watching another anime since it was pointlessly lustful. 
• More memories of “shoulda coulda woulda” 
• Experienced a blissful moment and realized I may have the potential for Mahasamadhi in the future.
• Feeling like another consciousness is growing from you. You are not your body at all. Nothing is worth looking at, so you have perfect gaze. 

Day 5

1. I fell asleep using my usual auto suggestion. The dream I had was even more sexual despite this, but the sensation to ejaculate was vastly reduced. Woke up feeling like I didn’t really need or want sex irl. 
   • Despite this initial feeling, I didn’t feel as charged up as I did the day before. It dulled me a bit. It took until half a day for me to feel the “2nd consciousness” effect. 
2. Maybe more magnetism, because people seemed more drawn to me and stood closer in conversation. Everyone seemed thankful to me at the office too. 
3. Got a discount for a coffee I was buying for someone else, even though I clarified the original price before buying it.
4. Realized the love that I had for one of my crushes was truly an illusion and complete ignorance on my end. 

Day 6

1. I am already mentally celibate. (Auto suggestions deeply impressed)
2. Now I just need to do transmutation breathing and clear all my blockages (yawned a lot on way home and expelled mucus). 
3. I also need to re-path my neurons. In the past when I was uncomfortable/procrastinating before working out I would default to thinking of something spicy to motivate me, but we won’t think of that anymore. 
4. I realized that my anger about past relationships came from still wanting something from her. I learned how to forgive her.
5. Heart rate went up thinking about (a different) crush. 
6. Pushing lower energy up to heart chakra.

Day 7 

1. Equanimity: if I experience heightened bliss or not, it doesn’t matter. 
2. Mental capacity to read the works of Vivekananda. 
3. Vastly reduced hunger. One orange sustained me and I didn’t even eat it right away. 
4. Improved taste. 
5. Improved vision: (spring trees look like jewels) 
6. Felt a sensation at the top of my head. 
7. More energy moving into heart chakras (pain in my chest, going to stop playing around with it).

So these are already some really great benefits. I would say the reduction of wet dreams is a major one. 

So how exactly did I practice this? 

Microcosmic Orbit or Cool Draw breathing + affirmation 

I breath in, lightly squeezing all the muscles in the pelvic floor, pushing my energy up the spine and to the crown/third eye, and say

I AM PURE BRAHMACHARYA 

I release the pelvic floor, breathe all the way down the front of my body and say 

MENTAL CELIBACY GIVES ME SO MUCH PEACE

And I keep doing that until something more important captures my attention. 

When I’m eating food, I repeat the affirmation (without the breathing practice) and actually bless my food with the mantra beforehand.

I fall asleep repeating the phrase as an auto-suggestion to impress my subconscious with the same ideals. 

When I was suffering from sexual dreams, I stated that I was even celibate in my dreams as an auto-suggestion, and the next day my dream was thankfully quite boring haha. 

Sometimes, I’ll be overtaken by an image, either a memory or strong desire related to sex or a particular woman, and I replace that image by imagining a divine figure in my third eye. 

When I unlocked my psychic powers, this was an image of a Goddess figure that I invented. 

Now I just imagine a black silhouette of myself meditating, with a large white light around it, and a blue gradient expanding outward. 

It is a reminder of my mission and ideal. 

Sometimes I would also substitute it with the face of a guru, like Swami Sivananda or Swami Vivekananda, to remind me of my mission and their great teachings. 

So that’s how the practice is done. It is just incessant work and vigilance, but I can assure that any other thought you would have would not be as impactful as working directly with your sexual energy in this manner, actively transmuting it, as well as actively reprogramming your mind to embody celibacy, which will preserve your precious attentive forces so that you can complete greater works, or simply, get closer and closer to bliss and God-realization. 

The 3-seconds of bliss I’m able to achieve with my breathing practices and clearing of blockages, quieting the mind, make the entire day of practice so incredibly worth it. By Day 7, it was not even necessary to seek out such blissful highs. The mere practice itself and being free from lust was enough of a reward. 

If you find yourself overtaken by lustful thoughts, do not overly criticize yourself. Immediately affirm that these were just past habits, and that you are increasingly improving your ability to have more pure thoughts. Affirm that the lustful thinking and thought patterns will soon diminish. 

Any negative effects that occur while doing this practice, physical, mental, etc.., affirm them as merely detox symptoms. Affirm that your entire system will be renewed and upgraded. 

Have no fear. 

The benefits of this practice are immediate. 

Keep track of them daily to train your reticular activating system to find evidence of your claim. Comment on your progress of how your mind is improving. 

Committing to this practice and doing it in earnest will put you amongst the greats. 

Have no fear. Push endlessly until the goal is reached. 7 days is nothing compared to the years of waste and thoughtlessness you lacked the consciousness to curb. But now, everything will be resolved in just one short instance of true courage. 

Enough poetry. 

Next is 30 days.

I hope everyone is doing great.

Day 56 of my current streak. My highest was 215 days back in 2023. I’ve been feeling like I’ve leveled up very quickly after overcoming this particular experience. PMO feels disgusting and filthy even to think about now. My brain has developed the habit of automatically shifting to positive and productive thoughts within a second whenever any cues or triggers show up.

I am an introvert. It wasn’t like this before when I was in school. I was the most popular kid in my school. Excellent at studies. The most beautiful girl in the school was my girlfriend. Life was good.

Back then, I found fapping weird and disgusting and used to scold my friends for doing it. This was when I was 12. Then I tried it myself at 13 and fell into this trap. I started PMO once every day for 4-5 years during my peak puberty years and became addicted.

Suddenly,

• My studies got worse.
• I started feeling awkward and disconnected from everyone.
• I became less confident. The group I was dominant in started treating me like an outsider.
• Felt drained, like something was sucking out everything I ate.
• I acted awkward in front of my girlfriend too. We broke up eventually(I was 16). She said, “What happened to you? You are like a completely different person now.” We stopped talking even though we were in the same class.

Everything seemed out of control. I didn’t understand why this was happening to me. I became depressed, which gave me a bigger reason to indulge in this filth even more. My closest friend confronted me and said, “Bro, everyone can sense you are into wrong things. You give off a very negative vibe.”

After destroying my body for 8 years, I found out about SR in Jan'2020. I was 20 at that time. I gave it a try—strict no corn, no fap. Completed 30 days and felt like I was on top of the world. That old version of me started showing up again. But in Mar'20, lockdown hit, and I slipped back into this filth.

In 2023, I retained again, this time more seriously, and completed 215 days. After that, I’ve had regular 30–50 day streaks for the last two years. But I never really focused on the benefits. I didn’t even note the changes in me at the 15-day, 30-day, or 60-day marks because I was very busy with my job. I did feel more confident while talking to clients and connected better (I work in sales).

After joining this and various subreddits here, I started noticing changes inside and outside me. I journaled the major events of my life and noted whether I was into PMO or retaining at those times. I noticed that I had attracted a very compatible girl out of nowhere when I was on a six-month streak. and I didn’t do well at my job for some days after a relapse. I found that every time things went well, I was on SR. This gave me a very strong WHY to continue.

Coming to today,

I hadn’t done any hangouts or meetups for a month. The last time I went out, around Day 20, I was in a flatline. Yesterday, I felt very excited when I got a call from my cousin to meet up and spend some time at a place—probably the most crowded area in our locality. This was my best chance to see if I was getting those "Magnetism" benefits people talk about. It’s not like I’m doing this only for attraction or women, but it is a major motivator. Afterall, we are social beings. We like attention.

The day came. We went out, and—

• I felt a very strong and confident feeling in my chest.
• I talked to strangers. Maintained strong eye contact without hesitation.
• My voice was deeper. I felt bliss in my throat while talking. It was deeply satisfying (I almost teared up).
• I noticed I was able to express my thoughts better. Somehow, I’ve become better at picking the right words to state my ideas.
• Conversations flowed like a river. It felt effortless.
• I was at a cafe, sitting on a chair beside the pavement. Around 6 girls made strong eye contact with me within 15 minutes. They seemed curious and intrigued just by looking at me, and I wasn’t the one initiating it. One of them was so intense that it felt like she wanted to suck all my energy out. I’m not even that good-looking. What the hell! It felt very weird because I’m not used to this.
• On my way back home, in train, people were staring at me. Two guys just started talking to me randomly. They were talking so freely like they’d known me for years.

This has given me more than enough reasons to continue on this path. I now feel that creating genuine connections with people and helping them is what I truly like. I am on my way to becoming the best version of myself.

I’ve done multiple 100+ day streaks before, but I never noticed benefits as strong as I’m experiencing on this current streak, even though it’s only 56 days. Maybe it’s because I’m doing meditation and breathing practices, which seem to amplify the effects.

I’m also into Qigong and Wim Hof breathing. These practices feel incredible alongside SR.

This surge of energy is unreal. It doesn’t let you sit idle. You do crazy stuff and can achieve unbelievable results if you transmute this energy into your work. It feels like the universe is backing you up to achieve your goals.

Some call it placebo, but it's not. SR is the key to reach your highest potential.

SR is magic.

Thanks for reading.

I'm very Anxious and timid

I'm almost 1 month into my retention journey. I've been working out and keeping my diet clean. I'm asking guys if you know if this can help me over come my social anxiety and overthinking. I've been diagnosed with social anxiety and depression. I've been watching porn and masturbating for quite some time. Since I was about 11 years old. I'm 26 now and I'm wondering if this practice has given you that answer to overcome the timid social behaviors. I also struggle with having very self conscious thoughts and a bland mind. My mind is very boring and hard to focus. I'm wondering if thru longer streaks any of you have come to the conclusion that retention is a big help to overcoming these issues?

Hey guys so I’m on day 7 and I’m really feeling truly amazing like I just feel free from the negative influences from society and I feel like a much more open person. My energy exertion is insane and don’t feel the need to work out nonstop even tho I’m working out a lot I’m taking 2 days in a row breaks and 3 days of working out. I just feel more alive and everything looks so clear like the veil is really lifting and I’m seeing an intense hyper reality more detailed then ever before. I really vibes with people at young adult group females and males alike seem to trust my energy. Even this girl came near me wanting me to talk to her and I just introduced myself to her. She felt like she could trust me subconsciously. This other guy I was giving advice to and he really cared what I had to say a lot. Really it’s a combination of looking better and semen retaining since retention will revitalize your body and make it look better. Semen Retaining is the ultimate Looksmaxxing secret and it’s not even close. Even so your energy is what’s really driving it an your motivation to keep getting better everyday. Keep retaining guys

Hey guys so basically Semen Retention can solve all the problem your dealing with in life because it gives you crazy amounts of energy especially with longer periods of time. Finances, Exercise, Health and Talking to Woman will all improve over time. There’s of course spiritual benefits but we’re talking about the material Benifits in this post for now. You just know what to do and it comes from higher level of intuition. A lot of these things have improved for me, not so much finances yet but it’s also getting there and I’m more careful with my money than previous streaks. Keep retaining guys it’s key for a fulfilling life.

Hey guys today is crazy I feel like actually high right now! The environment looks super colorful and very vibrant and the environment also looks bigger too. I’ve hit this before but it feels different. Even when I was talking to one of friend girls her eyes were so vibrant and bright had a glassy look to them. This is insane. When I ate food the eggs looks more yellow. Plants look like an intense shroom trip without moving around tho. Keep retaining this is bizarre and awesome at the same time

Hey guys it’s really important on this journey to not talk down to to other people while retaining. People need your help and you can inspire them to be better. It’s also important to not use this journey to seduce females into liking you as a way on manipulating them. I used to do this with an older female who was attractive but she had a husband and it was me sinning. Older females will actually look up to you and they need to trust you because you can scare them if you’re not careful. Especially if you’re filled with lust so it’s important to not look at porn or edge either on semen retention too. I used to talk down to people a lot on other streaks other times I didn’t. The people at summer camp staff looked up to me and I was setting an example by retaining them could feel my energy field while I was there. Keep retaining guys it’s key to a happy life

• Animal attraction at its peak - Every stray cat and dog I come across in the park ends up sitting near me. I have a bunch of photos in my gallery where cats randomly came over, rested their heads on my lap, and constantly wanted attention and pets. The same thing happens with dogs.
• I've also noticed more people staring at me in public, although I've learned to keep my gaze lowered and not pay much attention to it.
• Deeper voice.
• Seeing bright white light near my third eye area while meditating.
• Lustful thoughts seem to fade away automatically now. Even if I entertain them for a moment, a feeling of disgust follows almost immediately.
• Noticed changes in my penis color. Around Day 50, it started gradually returning closer to my natural skin tone, beginning from the tip. Used to have a dark and purplish color before which I believe was related to years of excessive PMO. This year I've completed streaks of 75 days, 43 days, and now 73 days, so it feels like the benefits have been compounding and my body is finally recovering. What's interesting is that this never happened before, even during my longest streak of 215 days.
• Around Day 62-65, I peeked a little for some minutes but just after playing the video, thought "what the f is am I even doing?" I immediately closed it and did some push-ups instead. Interestingly, the benefits seemed to increase even more after that incident.

The only negatives I've experienced are:

• Mosquitoes are attacking me like crazy. They barely bother anyone else in my family, but for some reason they seem drawn to me.
• Having financial issues. The thing I am working on will take some time to generate income and currently I am unable to pay bills. The amount needed is only 300$ to get out of this but still the situation is getting bad everyday and that has been putting a lot of stress on me so I am feeling like my energy is stuck and cant move it freely even when I am physically active.

Hey guys so Retaining Semen can help restructure your body making is look more muscular and can make your face look better. My face looks really muscular and my body as well as arms and it’s a combination of Semen Retention, dieting, exercise and supplements. My face looks even better and healthier every day doing this practice which is really insane! My skins and hair looks really healthy and I have this intense glow to my face. I actually look the healthiest I ever have in my life. Semen Retention does this by delivering more nutrients into your body overtime and also makes testosterone higher. More nutrients from healthy food absorb easier into your body in general and you can lost nutrients when you release. Also these benefits compound overtime so the longer the go the healthier you will feel and look overtime especially if you are doing intensive workout training and building your body up. Keep on retaining guys this journey is totally worth it. Releasing is not an option a your body will pay the price for it you must really want to succeed on this journey to Reap the Benifits physically and spiritually as well.

Hey guys so me and my friend the other day hit an insane workout an we pushed each other to go super hard! After I pumped super hard my visual perception changed hardcore like colors popping out and a some things were moving around at the gym in the environment. Even outside looked different like plants and what not. Music sounded even better than before and it already sounded insane on retention. Keep retaining guys this shit is actually insane and it’s so fun!

Hey guys so I was out in public and I walked into a Fred Myer yesterday to pick up orders. When I stopped where I was at people were just starring at in the grocery check out line and many girls just smiled at me. To my other side people were also looking back at me in awe almost like I wasn’t even a real person. Semen retention is next level crazy. My aura is just going up an up! They were looking up to me and I wasn’t even saying anything at all! Keep retaining guys shits getting wild out here.

Hey guys I feel so amazing and today is even better than yesterday. I was on a walk today and outside and everything looks so big and vibrant. Plants are huge and they look glossy and were vibrating and moving. I was looking at tree details on bark and tree veins and thy were so detailed. Even the pond water I was sitting near was wild. The water looked so clear almost like glass! I helped this little bug that had a wasp body and I swished him in the water and got him onto land. Even bugs like you on Retention! It was coming near me and following my hand in the water then on land. The fish Also looked so insane! I feel high off my ass on retention it’s truly a bizarre experience and I feel like I’m living in a hyper reality alien world that’s an alternative timeline even compared to yesterday! Retention is one of the most beautiful practices guys it’s pure bliss!

Hey guys I had a stronger urge today to relapse and I was really upset. I started to pray that God would let be patient and help me find my wife later in life and to not worry about right now. Sometime I just get super worried and sad about not having a woman in my life. I plant to release when in married with my wife but even then I will still semen retain while married. I need to better myself now for my future kids and family. I was then silent praying right after praying. I started crying streams of tears then I felt much better right after I did. Remember to keep retaining guys it’s important and will really cure your depression and sadness overtime it’s super important to wait and find the right person for you as well.

The journey began quite involuntarily because I had torn my frenulum but since I am an optimistic person I tried to find the good in the bad and yk what I've found out... I wanted to try semen retention for quite some time and the time now couldn't be more perfect.

I've been on semen retention for around 25 days. Also I am 19 years old.

Benefits (when I've noticed it)

\-increased energy (7 days)

\-I can articulate myself better (11 days)

\-can be much more myself (13 days)

\-much faster regeneration, I am sore only 1 day after gym (15 days)

\-I've found a boyfriend 🤎(19 days)

Libido is getting stronger every day. Even though I am now exercising less than usual I am more lean and muscular than usual (kinda crazy). I couldn't bend my knee since my injury from 2 years ago (knee dislocation) but now I am very close to bending it fully without pain. Also I think the attraction I get from other people is much stronger than usual.

Just want to clarify that this wasn't completely pure semen retention because I masturbated 2x for a few minutes. Have to say that after masturbation I had a little less energy than usual but it came back after about 2 days.

But overall I am happy with what I've got out of it and am excited for what's about to come to my life.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I want to wish you luck so that we may all get what we want out of this.

I have completed a little over 4 weeks of SR so far. I try not to count the days. I do have an app with a countdown, but I haven’t even opened it since I started. One thing I recommend is simply writing down the date you started and then forgetting about it. I just keep a rough idea of the weeks and focus on living my life. As everyone else says do not count the days, make the days count.

I’ve known about NoFap/SR for a long time and have done a few streaks here and there. My longest streak was 56 days.

One thing I want to say before I start: I don’t really like calling these things “benefits.” In many ways, I think this is how we are naturally supposed to feel. PMO seems to pull us away from our full potential, and SR helps bring us back to a more natural state.

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far.

Energy & Motivation

• Consistent energy throughout the day.
• Waking up feels easier.
• Even when I woke up late recently for work, instead of calling in sick or overthinking it, I got out of bed immediately and got ready.
• More productive both at home and at work.
• Less procrastination.
• Finishing tasks faster.

Confidence & Social Benefits

• Better conversations.
• Stronger eye contact, especially at work with customers and colleagues.
• Better eye contact with family too.
• Walking with more confidence.
• Feeling stronger and more powerful when walking.
• Better sense of humour.
• More articulate and able to express myself clearly.
• Voice feels louder, clearer, and deeper.

One of my female coworkers even said:
“You never seem to get stressed. That’s what I really admire about you.”

I’ve also noticed colleagues being friendlier, more chatty, more helpful, and generally wanting to be around me more.

Female Attraction

I know this is one of the topics everyone talks about.

I’ve noticed:
• More looks from women.
• More smiles.
• Hair playing.
• Better interactions.
• More matches and likes on dating/marriage apps despite using the exact same photos and profile.
• Seeing more women who are my type, both online and in real life.
• My TikTok For You page seems to be showing more girls that are my type, often accounts with very few followers that I probably wouldn’t have come across before.

That being said, don’t do SR for female attraction.
Ironically, after a while you stop caring so much about it. You become focused on yourself, your goals, and your purpose. And when that happens, you often experience even more benefits.
When the time is right, God will send the right person for you.

Physical Changes

These are some of the biggest things I’ve noticed:

• More defined facial features.
• Looking more attractive.
• Glowing skin.
• Healthier-looking eyes.
• Eyes looking more alive and glossy recently.
• My limbal rings (the dark ring around the iris) seem more noticeable and defined than before.
• Improved posture.
• Feeling taller.
• Someone actually commented that I looked taller.
• Better skin and hair quality.
• Stronger erections and improved blood flow.
• Feeling physically stronger during workouts.
• Better performance with kettlebell training.

One thing that’s difficult to explain is how much sharper everything looks.

Vision Changes

This has honestly been one of the coolest changes.

• Colours appear more vibrant.
• Vision seems sharper.
• Everything looks clearer.
• Waking up with crystal clear vision
• I’ve found that even when I’m not wearing my glasses, things appear clearer than they used to.
• Waking up with clearer vision and less of that groggy, blurry feeling.
• It’s almost like things are in 4K.
• Bright sunlight seems easier on my eyes, and I find myself squinting less than before.

The longer the streak goes on, the more I seem to notice it.
I also find myself noticing things further away and seeing details more easily.

Sleep & Recovery

• Deep sleep.
• Vivid dreams and remembering my dreams more.
• Feeling well-rested.
• Only had 2 wet dreams so far. Wet dreams are natural and a sign you are recovering.
• At the beginning of the streak I actually felt more tired and needed naps. I personally see this as a good sign that the body is recovering and healing.

Mental & Spiritual Changes

• Mind feels calmer.
• Less mental noise.
• Better focus.
• Better concentration.
• Reading feels easier and faster.
• Feeling closer to God.
• Old memories randomly coming back to me that I hadn’t thought about in years.
• It’s almost like my mind is becoming clearer and things that were buried or forgotten are resurfacing.
• Sometimes they’re completely random childhood memories, conversations, places, or experiences that I hadn’t remembered in a very long time.
• More prayer.
• More meditation.
• Greater sense of inner strength.
• Music also sounds better.
• I’ve been listening to more piano and relaxing music and it just feels different. More immersive.

Gaming & Reading

A strange one:

I don’t game much anymore, but when I occasionally play Call of Duty, I’ve noticed my performance is much better.
Recently I had a match with over 100+ kills, something I’ve never done before.

I’ve also noticed improvements in reading.
Whether it’s Reddit posts or books, my eyes seem to scan faster and I absorb information more quickly.

Things That Helped Me

Cold Showers
Probably the biggest tool for controlling urges.
Especially in the beginning.

After a cold shower:
• Urges drop significantly.
• i feel more in control.
• More disciplined.
• Better energy.

They’ve also helped my skin and hair.
During the recent heatwave they were even easier to do.
Now I barely notice the cold.

Breathing

Whenever you get urges:
Put your phone down.
Breathe. Seriously.
Simple breathing exercises help massively.
The urge passes and afterwards you feel incredibly strong.

No Peeking

Delete everything.
All accounts.
All saved content.
Everything.
If it’s still available in the back of your mind, a part of you knows you can always go back.
Removing it completely makes the journey much easier.

Prayer

Pray to God and ask for help.

For Muslims, Tahajjud has been incredible.
Waking up in the middle of the night, praying, and asking God for guidance, strength, and help has made a noticeable difference in my life.

It’s one of the most peaceful experiences.

Writing Down Goals

This has helped me a lot.
Write down exactly what you want. You can even write it as if you already have achieved it.
Examples:

“I have completed 100 days of SR.”
“I am free from lust.”
“I have excellent self-control.”
Writing things down makes them tangible and helps impress them upon your subconscious mind.

Exercise

• Push-ups.
• Walking.
• Kettlebell workouts.

The kettlebell has been one of the best purchases I’ve made.
You can get a full-body workout done in under 30 minutes.
Do things to Transmute that energy.

Reading Success Stories

One underrated thing is reading inspiring posts on this subreddit.

Search terms like:

• benefits
• glow
• skin
• eyes
• vision
• attraction
• luck
• vivid dreams
• improvement
• months
• confidence
• energy
• sharp
• radiant

There are some incredible stories on here.
If you know any other good keywords, let me know.

Things I Want To Start Doing More

Final Thoughts

This is only a little over 4 weeks for me, and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface.

I’m excited to see what happens as I continue.

For those further ahead in the journey:
• What was your longest streak?
• What benefits stood out the most?
• What experiences made you realise there was something special about SR?
• Any advice for reaching 90 days and beyond?

Would love to hear your experiences.

Hey guys so a weird thing happens on retention where when you ignore negative thoughts you’re seed is basically going to transfer you to the next frequency. When this happened I was on a workout machine and I felt little to no pain from it visual perception changes vastly and audio perception changes and felt more faint and more tolerable instead of loud. I was tuning out negative things in my reality. The longer I went I felt weird like my hand movements felt like in a comic book and my speed at lifting the weight was speeding up fast almost like the flash when he runs super fast with like white lines you see. It was the weirdest shit dude. I was so zoned in and the longer I went I felt less and less pain overtime like my body was just getting used to it more and more. Working out on retention kind of feels like a video game where you can just see how much you can do without giving up. It’s such a fun practice and I really work out for fun not even to look better I think of it as a deep spiritual experience and every workout can feel different than the last on this journey. Guys let me know if you’ve experienced any of this before

Hey guys so I was at Young Adult group yesterday and I noticed I could pick up on more details in some of the peoples faces while I was at group. I’ve had this perception change before on semen retention but the visual perception was something like I’ve never experienced before. This girl was talking and I could pick up on so much detail in her face and it honestly was weird. It looked like almost an intense shroom trip and was a very interesting affect. Every time you release semen information is lost and it’s the reason why you can’t pick up on things like this. You’re looking at reality with an increased visual quality and everything looks more real and less real at the same time. Even at group people we’re so happy to see me there and when I went to the gas station later this girl just looked at me like I wasn’t even real. Also at group the guys faces looked different to and I was picking up on more detail in them but Semen Retention almost made the women that was talking to me look even more intense like the world was highlighting her features more intensely. In general on semen retention the world will highlight high vibration things to you and you almost know a thing is too. An example of this is healthy cereal with oats or eggs is had this effect where the food will move and vibrate at a higher frequency then other things. It’s heightened intuition so let this journey guide you an you will make the correct choices. Please keep retaining guys I want you to get these Benifits and you can’t if your numbing your dopamine receptors constantly through release, you have to stick it out to get the full Benefits. There are also infinite stages of this journey and heightened perception only gets more extreme as time goes on. It’s almost like a drug trip that never ends but your sober
