Downsides and upsides of retention

[Deleted member 28896]

RETENTION

I'm extremely high T and aroused all the time, this can be gnarly when not properly distracted. When you're on retention find somewhere to put your energy, since you are going to have a lot of it.

Some positives I've noticed: I feel godly (without being delusional, and still down to earth), I've got a whole nother aura (almost like a glow, once again still in a down to earth way).

Overall, if you can manage it properly you will upgrade your life by extreme measures. If you are wageslaving etc you will probably quit and create a better life after a long retention streak.

This was pretty brief but is pretty much what you can expect in broad strokes.

Additionally, retention will bring the most if you also have a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise etc).

agreed. I've learned that fapping once a week is the best for me tho, studies have also shown that testosterone lowers again after a week of retention.

after 21 days testosterone begins to increase slowly without a definite peak

This current study examined the effect of a 3-week period of sexual abstinence on the neuroendocrine response to masturbation-induced orgasm. Hormonal and cardiovascular parameters were examined in ten healthy adult men during sexual arousal and masturbation-induced orgasm. Blood was drawn...

Nigga anyone cooming is unironically dumb as fuck. I felt my best yesterday and stupidly decided to jerk off last night. Binged it by doing for another 4 times.

Now i feel pretty shit, cold on the right side of my body (felt scared to even cold shower) and dont feel the same high like i did.

Edit: gymcelling is helping but for definite I need to stop self pleasuring period. My seb derm has gotten worse too

Tao talks about how it is normal to coom. Too much build up leads to perversion and too much release leads to exhaustion

You're not wrong on retaining too much but the body isnt dumb to know that it needs to replace old stored semen. I've been doing this since I was 15

possibly the most hilarious claim in the nofap movement.

are you saying the 90 year old monks in Mount Athos who are on day 50000 of semen retention have insane T levels?

Are you sure it's not just a placebo effect

 

[astralo]

what i do to combat my high libido is make situations where i cant masturbate like talking to my siblings or some shit like that, has been working for me for like 3 years

 

[Deleted member 22962]

What I noticed is lower inhib + insane collagen boost ("glowy skin" is a common effect mentioned in nofap forums), but its way easier during the summer when you can go out with your friends and get out of the house. During exams (always in my room studying and being so bored that my mind wanders freely) retention is incredibly hard for me.

do u not go outside inthe summer bro

I made this post on May 5th, then I had a streak of 90 days.
10 days later after 100 days on retention (May 15th) I broke my streak.
I've been much lower energy since then, and I don't have the same glow.
Placebo or not, retention is very much real.

Now I've started a new streak and I'm on my fifth day, this time I will not break it at 100.

 

[Hated subhuman]

i see

 

[szolliontaraelis]

Once you start the retention, the horny feeling you experience normally significantly subsides after a week or two and you can live your life without needing to masturbate twice a day. Pretty cool if you ask me.

there are a lot of variables since not all monks practice the same lifestyle

some are allowed to drink beer without a limit, some follow a diet that is mostly composed by vegetables, some sleep less than others, some follow tremendously exhausting and preventive routines, etc

in general monks do live longer than the average male in the united states which is approximately 76 yro, and in theory most of monks are free from drugs, smoking, alcohol and other unhealthy activities so it is logical to think that their lifespan will be longer

now, denying that the western world has a problem with masturbation and especially among young man is pure naiveness, any kid can generate an habit of constant masturbation and it is as bad as any other addiction (drugs,alcohol,food)

why do you think long porn addicts have no muscle, low energy, face full of acne and are balding so hard?, and weirdly enough, there are hundreds of websites suggesting that masturbation has no effect or whatsoever in testosterone while you have thousands of guys at reddit saying that they feel like shit when they do it

retention increases testosterone levels and it is backed by real studies, but honestly i cant expect much from someone who says that drugs give you "unique experiences"

Unrelated to what I said

now, denying that the western world has a problem with masturbation and especially among young man is pure naiveness, any kid can generate an habit of constant masturbation and it is as bad as any other addiction (drugs,alcohol,food)

Obviously, never said otherwise

This is almost impossible to track or verify because the problem has gotten so bad that researchers can't find a male under 25 years old who hasn't had consistent exposure to PMO throughout his teenage years.

By the way, balding and acne are exclusively symptoms of high DHT, diet or genetics. While it's true that T spikes happen during semen retention, they only do so in the first week, after which the levels return to normal.

One look at bodybuilding forums would also show you that the biggest porn addicts are dudes who take tren, and they don't fall into your criteria at all.
