Welcome to the Semen Retention General!
Degenerate Oldfag edition!
>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.
>Why do it?
Reported benefits include: increased vitality, mental clarity, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy, improved focus, healthier hair/skin/eyes, deeper meditation, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, deeper voice, improved mood, greatly improved testosterone, improved physical strength and many more.
On long clean streaks many report benefits that transcend current science like a sort of "magnetism" or higher "vibration/aura" that attracts/appeals to other living beings, a higher perception, a stronger and intimidating "aura/presence", a deeper connection with nature, an attractive BO (people usually report it as "pheromones") and more.
>In case of urges:

Focus or do anything else. The urge ALWAYS passes.
>Advices:
- NEVER watch porn of any kind.
- Remove triggers from your life. Masturbation is a bad habit. Break that bad habit.
- Focus on achieving a goal. An art, a craft, competing, etc.
- Meditate and/or Pray Daily. Try a minimum of 5 minutes to start off.
- Exercise/Gym/Sports/Martial Arts. If it is something social even better.
- Good habits like healthy eating, dry fasting, sun exposure and cold showers do seem to speed up the process.
- Sublimation: literally using the energy.
- Transmutation: changing the quality of energy to something different. (Surya Namaskara, 8 brocades, Tibetan rites)

"Evidently two pathways lie ahead: one leading up out of entanglement, the other down and deeper into it. Man must either climb toward the radiant, though seemingly lonesome summit, or slide into the tempting shadows of the crowded lower path. The one path is the way of self-control, of mastery over sex, leading to purity and progress; the other is the road of self-indulgence, of enslavery to sex, of passion and resultant retrogression."https://ia802800.us.archive.org/19/items/TheCoiledSerpent/The_Coiled_Serpent.pdf

16 days. Last night was a sleepless one, had a dream where I was felt desperate to jerk off thinking about my ex but reasoned with myself to stop. And dreamt I saw 2 pigs fucking in a stable and this farmer was explaining it. Very weird.I wonder what damage to the psyche/subconscious all those years of porn does to you? I keep realising I might be a totally demented person, who knows what is under the surface, do you know what I mean? All the impressions we take in form our psyche. Thousands of hours of watching perverts having sex on screen like a cuck might have literally destroyed my soul

Question. How am I supposed to sleep when "retooning" ?
>Inb4 "just meditate bro"
Meme.
>Inb4 "just workout more bro"
Literally makes it worse and gives me more energy.Man you truely have to be the low testosterone to succesfully do "semen retention" without any hickups. Like, how do you do this when you can't sleep because you're so fucking tense from not cooming? How do you do this when you get 20+ urges a day to impregnate any female (even roasties) you see?

Only got like 3 non-consecutive hours of sleep last night and had to get up at 4 AM to drive an hour and a half away for a full day of work, then drive back, and... After the full 11 hours, I really don't feel that awful. Definitely not brimming with energy, but not bad. There's no way I could be feeling this way under the circumstances but for SR. About 2.5 weeks in. No-brainer to keep going for the long haul.
Other benefits:
>More positive attitude in general, even in the face of hardship
>More authentic and consistent prayer
>Fuller, better-looking hair
>Slightly quicker wit, can think of the exact right word more quickly
>More consistently working on my creative work while remaining on top of actual work
>Leaning into a couple other small better habits
More of these have emerged over the weeks. Really hoping I'll have some opportunities to be more social soon, to test my social abilities.

Carefully read picrel so you can understand why SRG is now almost all shills shitposting for the lulz, demoralizing trolls inviting to PMO, religious cucks trying to guilt trip their way into increasing their flocks, and incels using it to cope instead of overcoming.

>What causes urges?
Previous stress, tension, along with Caloric Deficit. When one retains semen metabolism goes up. If there isn't a caloric surplus then retention forces the body too much. There is a study showing less libido after mild increase in calories. If you are fat at least you have fat reserves to burn, but you still need a surplus relative to lowest baseline, you just have to burn the fat with long activities and reduce your surplus and you have to sleep better and longer to increase metabolism. Honestly if you are fat semen retention will burn your fat, the extra amount of lecithin you will save will act on receptors including nicotinic receptors, and people on nicotine lose weight. (I'm not saying nicotine is good)>Why does holding the breath solve the urge?
Because it reduces metabolism forcefully and momentarily.>Why does stress cause it too?
Chronic stress reduces peak metabolism. It's similar to having a damaged engine, it's unstable at high energy output or doesn't fire at all.>Why does tension down there cause it?
Tension can be relieved with relaxation, movement and blood flow. All happen during masturbation. If the tension is chronically reduced, this necessity is reduced. One sign of tension is trying to relax the surrounding penile area and feeling a need to take a relieving deep breath in. In Christian terminology, that is coming back to the Spirit.>More evidence?
Besides the study of higher calories = less libido, you can look at the time of temptation: it's often in the morning after a not so good sleep. Your body is releasing cortisol, metabolism is going up, but you want to stay in bed, you want to jerk off, you avoid light and sunlight, which increase metabolism.>Is there a conspiracy going on?
There are multiple agendas at any given moment, some of them blind and purposeless. It's important to find a truth you can rely on and scale. There might be a conspiracy against research on the loss of lecithin.

If you feel it is not your call it's still important to realize you don't really need to join any institution, church, denomination or group, not doing so does not preclude you from getting in touch with Jesus Christ, as long as their intention remains pure and honest anybody can sit alone in meditation and ask Jesus Christ for you and to show you the way.

Does anyone have any experience with creating spiritual vows or pacts, not with an entity but yourself? I have created one with myself and failed it, the consequences I placed upon myself being rather severe for failing. How do you reconcile such a failure? Can binding yourself to another as a way of reconciliation pay off your “debt” to yourself?

6 months and 5 days no porn, no edge, no fap, and just a few completely involuntary nocturnal emissions in that time.
it was easy because life is easy because i forgave everyone who ever harmed me and i have no enemies and don't hate anyone or anything and i don't self harm so nothing hurts anymore and nothing is hard to do
peace and love to everyone and we are gonna make it especially with peace and love in your heart.
The best time to start is RIGHT NOW!!!

I looked lustfully at pictures of naked women again.
I didn't masturbate but man, it did feel like I already lost. My mind clouded again, my thoughts on the wrong things all day.
This needs to stop.

I've been on a long streak, but saw my wifes pubic hair today and immediately felt the valve open, no warning. It was still flaccid but I quickly grabbed a glass slide and sure enough a little dripped out of the pipe. Inspection under the microscope showed mainly dead sperm.
I guess I'm not transmuting the energy and reabsorbing before this stage, now concerned a nocturnal emmission may be imminent.
