My Experience with Semen Retention

[EthanCaldwell0928]

Semen retention is something you hear people talking about all the time, but some people agree with it, while others don’t.

This my personal experience with semen retention:

I have tested many different things but let’s start to why I wanted to try in the first place. I used to be a daily masturbator, and while it wasn’t so bad to the point of addiction where it would interfere with my daily life, I really started to think about a few things. Many people believe that porn in particular, and even masturbating can decrease confidence when talking to woman. Now I can see why people would think it is bullshit, and I would say it probably is for the average person. However, I think if you struggle with social skills, that it can definitely be beneficial.

Now for the physical effects: I notice a lot of changes when a week has gone by. I start to have more vivid dreams and lucid dreams. Before I continue, just know I’ve tested different things. Doing it every other day, every day, not doing for a certain amount of time, etc. I have proven to myself that dreaming becomes a bigger part of your sleep when you stop doing it. It also can improve sleep quality, although I find myself to already get great sleep on a nightly basis. Another thing is your libido. If you’re severely addicted, you probably will struggle keeping your hands out of your pants for the first week. You will also think about women a lot, and you will need other things going on in your life. Sexual energy is very powerful and I truly believe if you redirect your attention to your passions whether it be going to the gym, playing sports, making music, etc, that it can be very beneficial. You also will wake up with an erection every morning. Now some people don’t have this issue, but a lot of the time people that jerk off daily do have that issue. There is very minimal research on testosterone levels, but it is proven that at the one week mark you will get a slight boost, but levels will return to baseline shortly after. I do think tho that the libido increase does lead one to believe and feel like their testosterone is now elevated and more significant.

I have also noticed that every time I have relapsed, I get a severe headache afterwards, I feel tired, and very unmotivated. I feel like once you start you can’t go back. You will have the thought in the back of your head how it feels when you relapse. It’s not a matter of post nut clarity anymore, but all the other benefits you will get. Everything else people talk about like acne clearing, facial hair growth etc, that’s all very minimal and unproven. Those are solely based on genetics and test levels.

Now I don’t disagree with masturbation daily, but I do think porn is very harmful to the mind. You can really make masturbation a spiritual experience and less of a sin, if u do things differently. Some people have a strong mind that they can have hands free orgasms.

Last thing I wanna say is, it might be coincidental, but I always seem to attract a new woman into my life within a month. Now I have never had a girlfriend because I don’t want to commit and just other reasons I’m not gonna mention. I’m sure you guys understand. I’ve been with multiple women tho of course, and the longest I’ve gone not masturbating is right now I’m on a 3 month streak, but months back when I had a 1 month streak, I had some girl from school that I got with. And another time too when I had a 3 week streak. Might be coincidental but it’s pretty ironic.

Anyways, stay strong, go the gym, manifest, achieve your goals, and be faithful!

Yea I agree a lot of people use it as a cope. I’m just sharing my experienced for people that are interested in trying it out. I never said I disagree with daily masturbation.

Nofap is just another way to tell ugly/average men "you aren't succesfull with women? It's your fault because you fap". 99% of men do it and vast majoity of men have/had sex with women. Chad is fapping 5 minute before going out, last drops of semen leak into his fresh pair of boxers and he get his dick sucked while you are baiting your fingers to nofap.

I don’t disagree with this either. I did mention in my message that many men don’t have problems talking to women, and that they can do it daily and still get things done. I think it’s good for those that have a weak mind and need something to build discipline off of

Doing it every other day, every day, not doing for a certain amount of time, etc. I have proven to myself that dreaming becomes a bigger part of your sleep when you stop doing it. It also can improve sleep quality.

I think a reason for that improvement in sleep quality and dreaming might be because of the brain's ability to preserve more energy, using it towards more beneficial things than masturbating. For example I think many people would agree that the urge to masturbate late at night or before going to sleep will dry out the last bit of energy in you, like a crackhead that needs to get the hit of dopamine in order to relax and focus better. Kind of like keeping you in a zombie-state until orgasm. Sometimes leading to feeling like shit post-nut, which affects the way you sleep and, consequentially, the ability to dream more vividly.

There is very minimal research on testosterone levels, but it is proven that at the one week mark you will get a slight boost, but levels will return to baseline shortly after. I do think tho that the libido increase does lead one to believe and feel like their testosterone is now elevated and more significant.

A large part of the perceived benefits are due to a placebo effect of associating semen retention with those anecdotal benefits. Potentially making a case for exponential benefits, due to, like i said, thinking and "feeling" like you have more test etc, which could eventually actually increase it by a bit (small, though) due to the brain thinking so. The brain is very powerful in altering our reality due to our thoughts (but to a certain extent, obviously).

Now I don’t disagree with masturbation daily, but I do think porn is very harmful to the mind. You can really make masturbation a spiritual experience and less of a sin, if u do things differently. Some people have a strong mind that they can have hands free orgasms.

I agree. Experimenting with less conventional methods, albeit healthier, could very well so increase pleasure and decrease mental detriment attached to pornography and masturbation

I don’t attract women but I’ve been benefiting from all the other things you’ve suggested. I think the logical explanation is that simply nullifying sexual attraction allows you to focus and grow on more important things. I’ve become more aware that I have limited time on this planet and I have to do more things that I feel are productive to my own growth.

women are a waste of time.

I think the no fap movement has the wrong idea and they think they will become Superman. I think not jerking off just black pills you more but also means you can perceive the world with more clarity since you aren’t dopamine diluted.

It’s actually crazy the amount of dreams I’ve been getting. I got 5 last night. 2 lucid dreams. I literally never even get lucid dreams in my life but recently I’ve been getting them. I feel like sleep although it’s so important to our lives, we can feel is a waste of time cuz it wastes 1/3 of your day. Imagine you can make sleep enjoyable and not just beneficial from a health standpoint, but from a mental perspective as well.
