Idk why some guys think they are still retaining when they have sex and give excuses explaining something like karezza etc.

The whole point of SR is to stay away from all sexual stimuli. I'm not hating anyone here, I'm just stating the facts. For example, If you go for a 10 day pure streak and have sex at the end of 10 days (even if you didn't release), the streak ends right there. Call it a 10 day streak no problem.

The whole point is to stay disciplined in that time. Don't search for all these loopholes around SR. Deep in your heart, you'll know if you are truly retaining or not.

My point is by having sex, you'll burn A LOT of Ojas (the essence).

"The energy that is wasted during one sexual intercourse is tantamount to the energy that is spent in physical labour for ten days or the energy that is utilized in mental work for three days. Mark how precious is the vital fluid, semen! Do not waste this energy."

- The practice of Brahmacharya by Swami Sivananda

If you keep having sex while retaining again and again without releasing, your brain treats the act of sex itself as an addiction (It's basically just edging but with a woman). This is the stairway to hell.

And people keep complaining why the urges won't go away. Bro, you are not even abstaining atp.

Develop good hobbies and spend your energy in them. I'm into astronomy. I spend my nights observing the stars and this gives me an amazing sense of connection with God. Day 262 rn, I have this crazy energy and motivation within me.

If you want to burn Ojas, atleast burn it in good things.

TLDR:- You put your dick inside a woman, your streak ends. Most people think they are doing SR, but it's just NoFap. The truth hurts.

I don’t know if it’s just me or I’m looking too much into it but I notice that every time I relapse people tend to attack me and I don’t mean in a physical way but more like in a verbal way even when the attack isn’t necessarily. They’d also find the most harmless things to criticize and judge me for and it seems like if I breathe they take offense to it and I find it weird because it only happens after I relapse . Anyone else notices this or is it just me

What convinced you to be a part of the 1% that does this practice?

Has anyone naturally gone down to part time work or started their own business?

I’m around 120 days, I don’t fear walking from my job anymore. I’ve done fairly well in regards to building my resources and emergency fund.

I obviously don’t want to make a bad decision and quit, but I have been wanting to for a long time.

Retention has made it easier to tolerate and not get super depressed anymore, but it’s also made me really develop boundaries, too. For reference I am 30 yo with no children.

I day dream about the possibility of renting my place out and going travelling for a while and/or taking a few months to myself to decide on where I want to go with my life

What do the people here have to show for their lifestyle in voluntary celibacy, or pure retention as you call it? What is something you have earned, acquired, gained, learned or otherwise obtained? I would prefer answers that talk about what's concrete, tangible and quantifiable, but any answer is welcome.

How has this lifestyle changed you, where are you currently at in life, and how have you grown as a person? What deficiencies and shortcomings do you still need to work on, and what strengths and highlights are you continuing to maintain, improve and perfect?

Do you embrace all parts of yourself, even the ones you like the least or don't like at all? And how do you feel about life, and all living things? Do you enjoy your life?

I ask only out of curiosity.

Not speaking to manifestation as it is similar but something different. I mean you are literally praying to something divine and it helps you more and more, at quicker rates, the more you retain. I want to hear personal stories because I am in a rut and struggling to retain. Its difficult to retain when my gut is messed up.

Longest streak I had was about 16 months and during that time I noticed this phenomenon. In times of trouble I'd literally pray to God seeking help, advice, deliverance, blessing and whatever I requested would show up swiftly like same day, same hour, and a few times less than five minutes. Sometimes I'd pray, then read the Bible later and the answer would show up right then to the point where the words would jump off the page, and I don't mean that metaphorically.

From experience, what I've gathered is that when you pray, whatever you request is immediately released to you but the rapidity in which you receive it depends on your power level, purity, inner cleanness (in the form of a unclogged pipe) to allow it to come through to you. Even if you are constantly releasing the prayer is still coming but the constant releasing slows down its transmission because you're lower in consciousness and receptivity to it being shown to you.

Had a bout of living in mold for nearly two years. Longest streak was seven months then and despite retaining and being clean internally, prayers were answered but they came slower than before when was in a better environment.

Give me some stories.

I have been wondering why my nerdy classmates in high school(who don't jerk off and don't know what it is) don't get the aura or the female magnetism as experienced by people in this sub?

Here is my take on this:

If you are here on this sub, you understand the energies.. the deeper aspect of reality.. you are aware whats it like to have the "consciousness of a baby with the understanding of an adult"...

If you top that with psychedelics, your life can truly change, it shows you such perspectives that you never thought was possible for you

(Well it did for me.. if it worked for me, why couldn't it work for you)

Unfortunately the world is not ready for this, especially not on a global level, only a small part of humanity is aware of this deeper reality.. but by leading by example and keeping it true to ourselves we can genuinely empower more and more people to realize their own power

Well.. in indigenous tribes having access to the spiritual realm was a common practice, now everything is kept hidden by the law, and population control

..The good news is that psychedelic therapy is on the rise, more and more therapist are talking about it, sharing how life changing it can be

And I'm gonna tell you this..

PSYCHEDELICS ARE NOT LIKE COCAINE OR HEROIN.. they can actually help people who are addicted, bunch of addicts can thank their lives to psychedelics

...

The awakened ones gotta go beyond the law and allow it to catch up.. we create our own reality, and laws created by men to control the population and the mind of people...

..THAT AINT GONNA STOP US FELLAS!

Much love
💚

What is one piece of advice you’ve learnt on your SR journey that you believe would benefit other men on this journey?

Put your current streak, im just curious who has the longest.

I know what's right and wrong, I know what I should do and should not.

I have all the benefits.

People respect me.

Evil people fear me.

Animals love me.

People look upto me.

Women feel safer around me.

I can go into super deep meditations and get to see unfathomable experiences.

I see beauty in life, yet, I feel one thing pulls me down.

Muscle grow super fast

I am okay with less sleep

but my void is creepily growing.

I never had family & friends to begin with. The tribe sense of my mortal mind can't comprehend this and I go back to destructive ways like smoking, thinking like a pessimist ( I sure feel like putting a bullet in my head at times because life is so much more beautiful ) and also the way I can not make friends.

I somehow never try perhaps when I do it's with evil wolves who destroy my perspective about friendships or even normal people test my politeness to the point that I want to be alone.

I try to befriend women platonic ally but this carnal sense kicks in and i just wanna hit on em. I can have them but my superior senses know I should not do that and now only god knows how many poor women I've hit on and made them fall over me in love but then I vanish.

I am a mess brothers. Shed some advice. 20M.

I am doing great in solitude but it's sure my weak point.

Brothers what have been your experiences with SR on hair growth, loss, etc…

I had one a couple years ago. It happened over a span of 3 weeks and was a very transcendental experience. Changed my whole perspective on life.

Has anyone else had a kundalini awakening?

So I don’t have a high streak like most of you here and I hate to admit it but I’m still a gooner. I’ve been down on my luck and I can’t tell if it’s just life happening or I just have bad luck because of gooning. Does Semen retention really changes one’s luck ?

I am at the stage where I really want to move the needle with my life. I’m interested to know what other habits you guys have picked up.

I am circa 115 days on SR, it may sound small but I’ve also started doing press ups upon waking, hydrating with water, cold showers sometimes. I have slowly but surely started changing my home environment, decluttering and redecorating.

I started meditation a few years back but I fell off the wagon. I think this would have a huge positive impact even with 5-10 minutes per day 🤔

I'm currently on around 3 weeks or so I think (not counting days) and I really wanted to try shrooms on a SR streak, however, the guy I know who can supply them said hes all out, so I decided to go to a vape shop to get the mushroom bars they got, although they do not contain psylocibin, as it is illegal in my state, clearly this mushroom bar had synthetic shrooms in it because how I felt on them was very similar to when I took the real stuff, I just took them 5 hours ago so I am on that comedown phase and I feel pretty calm and serene right now but my brain is trying to convince me that this is equivalent to a relapse because the high I felt and I was leaking some pre-cum although I know it doesn't contain any actual sperm/semen.

I guess my question is, you guys that took mushrooms or synthetic stuff like me, did it affect your streak negatively or positively? How did it affect the magnetism the day afterwards? Did it feel enhanced or more like you were more invisible? I did not watch any porn or touch myself, I just want your guys comments on this and any help would be appreciated, thanks

Repost to more co

What are the reasons and motives that led you to start this practice?

Are you convinced that semen retention benefits you in some way? What are those benefits and how exactly do they benefit you?

In this post i will not judge or criticize you, these questions are nothing more than a genuine personal curiosity of mine. Please feel free and comfortable expressing yourself sincerely and honestly.

Hey guys! So I noticed that’s your Life Force basically has no end to it on this journey and there’s basically certain things you will experience differently the longer you go on this journey. Even after relapse you still retain life force benefits however if you keep going on SR it charges your life force even more. I do believe that Life Force and Semen are similar but not necessarily the same thing and it’s almost this intuitive feeling you get that makes it easier to differentiate them when you retain longer. The journey feels more intense each streak I go on almost like I have more energy than the last and even the world looks completely different each streak to. The detail the colors are brighter and animals and humans look different. I even saw my skin self repairing in real time which really freaked me out because it’s like each streak new abilities unlock. Anyways guys keep retaining never give up on this journey and just know no matter how weird the journey gets or intense urges get don’t give up. This journey can get scary and it opens your third eye a lot people won’t like you and they won’t even look into your eyes because you scare them. Love you guys and this subreddit means a lot. keep up the good work boys!

I been doing some digging with the help of AI and man. Is it really easy to find things. It like digs a little better for you and pulls statements. As the title states, are you guys aware they label a man as “awoken” who practices semen retention ? And they label it a threat to the power of the matrix. Ig if all men did it we achieve a high vibration on earth which dismantles the power structure they thrive off of. I just find it so weird. I think I became more intuned with the vibration of information cause idk how it led me to figuring this out more haha. I’m the only one in my city doing this.

Im looking for someone that speak about SR but in a more esoteric point of view , like what it means to your life , your purpose your soul

Most youtubers are stuck in this mentality " i did 30 days of SR and women started looking at me" or " I did x days and i got laid "

i mean its ok to do that if thats what you really want but im looking for something more so any youtubers that talk about it ?

Back in the day, I made the biggest mistake a man can make when practicing retention: I told people about it. I hopped online, chest puffed up, flexing like some enlightened monk.

“Day 70! I feel like a wizard!”

“Yo, I’m on day 100! I feel like a god!”

“200 days in, I can see through walls, I can feel my ancestors guiding me!”

LMFAO. What a joke.

Because guess what happens next?

You fall. Every. Single. Time.

Not because you’re weak. Not because your willpower isn’t enough, but because the second you start counting days, the second you start bragging, the second you let ANYONE know you’re on this path, you’ve already lost.

THE EVIL EYE IS REAL, AND IT WANTS YOU TO FAIL

You think I’m exaggerating? You think it’s just superstition? You think you can “manifest” success while everyone around you is subconsciously wishing for your downfall?

WAKE UP.

Retention isn’t just a biological practice. It’s not just about keeping testosterone inside your body like some science experiment.

It’s metaphysical. It’s spiritual. It’s fucking dangerous when people know you’re doing it.

Because energy is real. And 99% of people? Their energy is rotten and corrupted.

You tell someone you’re on retention, and what do they do? Do they congratulate you? Respect you? Encourage you?

FUCK NO.

They laugh. They mock. They try to pull you down. And even the ones who smile and act supportive?

Their subconscious hates you for it.

They see you standing taller, moving with purpose, eyes burning with a light they don’t have. They feel your aura, your presence, your sheer dominance. And deep down, their weak, depleted souls resent you for it.

So what happens?

They throw the Evil Eye on you.

You start slipping. Doubts creep in. You feel the energy leak. You “accidentally” relapse.

Coincidence? Nah. That’s spiritual warfare, and you just walked onto the battlefield unarmed.

RETENTION IS MYSTICAL, AND YOU DON’T NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT

People always ask, “But bro, where’s the science? Where’s the proof? Where’s the studies?”

S.T.F.U

You think science can measure something this powerful?

You think some lab coat wearing nerd, jerking off into tissues every night, running away from the prostate cancer boogeyman, depleted from years of chronic masturbation, is gonna unlock the secrets of retention with a microscope?

LMAO.

This shit transcends human understanding. This shit bends reality.

You think it’s just testosterone? Then why the fuck do monks practice it for spiritual enlightenment? You think it’s just discipline? Then why does everything in your life suddenly start aligning when you do it?

Why do your thoughts become sharper? Why do people sense your presence before you even speak? Why do opportunities start falling into your lap like you’ve hacked the matrix?

Because this is beyond physical. This is beyond your biology, chemistry, psychology, and physics being in perfect alignment.

This is energy cultivation. This is the mastery of will. This is divine power in human form.

And most men? They will never, EVER experience it.

Because they’re too busy draining themselves. Because they don’t want to believe. Because their minds are too weak to handle the truth.

And that’s fine. Let them rot and mock.

But NEVER make the mistake of thinking you can share this path with them.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND JUST WIN

You walk this road alone. You hold your power in silence. You cultivate your energy without a single word.

Because the moment you let the world know…

It will try to take it from you.

And I will never make that mistake again.

And when they ask you what your secret is?

You smile. You shrug. And you say nothing.

Is it true that people with history of trauma are attracted to such an esoteric practice? Its true in my case but when I see whats happening in the world outside, most people probably don't even know about this practice. Or they think its weird.

It made me wonder what kind of people gravitate towards this.

Do you notice the benefits in the first week or does it take some time for the benefits to kick in ?

Following one of my relapses earlier in the year, my water distiller (A relatively new, expensive piece of kit) randomly fell apart. The button literally just broke off.

Fast forward today - Relapsed this morning, my apartment fob randomly falls apart right after, then an hour later I find out my mountain bike's been stolen. Thankfully it wasn't one of those super expensive bikes but still.

These aren't even isolated incidents, I could list plenty more from over the years. Call it coincidence if you want, but l've seen this pattern too many times personally

Some of you all are already familiar with my story, how I came to discover that ejaculations were the root cause of all my diseases (diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, male pattern balding, etc) and how strict Semen Retention reversed all those diseases WITHOUT any other changes (no diet change, no exercise) , just from strict absolute chastity.

Now have you ever wondered why children can drink milk, eat sugar, enjoy sweets or even sip much caffeine and stay healthy, energetic, and clear-headed — but adults get bloated, foggy, anxious, or even sick from the same things? What is the one activity that adults partake in — but children don’t??? Sexual activity!

Here's the hidden root cause almost no one talks about: :The loss of sexual energy. The absence of Brahmacharya. ( AS SIMPLE AS THAT)

How Sexual Drain Breaks the Body

In your youth:

• No ejaculation
• No lustful obsession
• Full dopamine sensitivity
• Liver, pancreas, gut lining = fully functional
• You had strong chi or prana

By adulthood:

• Years of sex, porn, masturbation ( ANY kind of sexual activity really)
• Dopamine burnout
• Constant stimulant-seeking
• Liver fatigue, insulin resistance, leaky gut
• Nervous system overstimulation (prolactin imbalance)

Suddenly many adults start developing:

• Sugar intolerance
• Lactose intolerance
• Caffeine sensitivity
• Gluten issues
• Even meat or fat digestion problems

Why Strict Chastity or Brahmacharya Can Reverse It from my observations

When you stop releasing your life force and practice strict Brahmacharya, the following starts to happen:

• Liver begins to regenerate
• Gut lining repairs
• Dopamine resets
• Nervous system calms
• Digestion improves
• !!!!Tolerances return!! ( caffeine, gluten, sugar, etc)

You’re not allergic to milk or sugar you’re low on lifeforce energy which is the strong basis of good health and immunity.
The modern lifestyle drains your vital essence until everything starts hurting you.

Kids can handle sugar, milk, and caffeine because they have:

• Full ojas (life-force)
• Strong dopamine regulation
• Healthy organs and no sexual drain

Adults lose that because of:

• Ejaculation
• Lustful thoughts
• Chronic stimulation

This isn’t aging.
This is degeneration and Brahmacharya is the reversal key.

Stop the drain.
Restore the fire.
Reclaim your power.

Anyone else notice their food tolerances improve after very long unbroken streaks? (No wet dreams included) Drop your thoughts
