The Ultimate List of Semen Retention Traps (Must-Watch SR)

[@anelencube2932]

This is exactly what I needed to hear today: I was on a NoPMO streak for the last 99 days (I relapsed yesterday). It feels like my whole world has come crashing down because I fell into the trap of counting days and basing my self-worth on that, but I never really took action to address the things in my life that needed fixing. With this video I'll begin a new streak with a more realistic mindset than before.

Bro u have such a calming and well intentioned face expression that it motivates me to stay in my path just by looking at u. Anybody else gets that feeling?

One of the best things Ive gotten from SR is not getting with a girl based purely on looks and not staring at a woman in public just cause of her looks it was the little lust mites that had me doing that before but now that they’re gone i still want a pretty lady but im fine with a 6/10 if her personality is a 10/10 ya know

Preach. Here's a guy who speaks from experience, not from lofty ideas and expectations off the subreddit. We share a lot of opinions - certainly not all. But mostly, I think, we share a sense, and attitude - a "common sense" lol. Like not making SR the center of your identity. Not turning this into a battle for the longest streak. Look, sometimes, when you discover a new practice, and it seems to be the one true silver bullet, you invest a lot of energy and emotion in it, and you can be a bit superzealous, Saul-to-Paul. It's a necessary step. But then you have to move on. One disagreement: Your talk about religious bullshit. I'm on the same page, I'm an atheist. But if somebody likes to practice this for religious reasons, that's just as legitimate.

3:33 😂😂😂 I’ve never heard this put into words but I relate to it so hard. I remember all my friends wanting to go to bed after a long study day but I was so amped up with Life force energy I literally couldn’t sleep so I manically worked out at 3 am. Too much energy loll

A great video that highlights all the often unconscious issues that can be a problem for us as men who practice semen retention. Well, if we start to stop living out our sexual desires and instead suppress them because of SR, then we block our second chakra because this creates a mental conflict because we actually want sex but believe we have to deny it to ourselves. Therefore, it is very important not to completely ignore your sexual desires but to live them out. Especially with a beloved partner. For me, holding back is commonplace but this only works well when it is combined with Tao Yoga of Love (sex without ejaculation), Tanta and Karezza, which are wonderful ways to live your sexuality and still be in flow and full of energy.

Seb, i really understand where this is coming from. And I respect your wisdom. But I also think there are retainers who mindfully control their desires no matter what comes their way (akhand brahmacharya). Because maya works in mysterious ways and lures you in again if you stumble slightly in the path of spirituality. If Buddha thought the same way during his long streak of meditation he would have disillusioned himself again that he is only human and caved in to desires. Just a thought. Not all long term retainers are neurotic about it. We carefully observe where this desire is stemming from, observe its nature and transmute. There is a beautiful Osho talk about what to do when lust overcomes you, he says empty the air in your stomach and let the energy go upward. The bliss of the celibate is much higher than sexual experience.

I think most people Never Retain Beyond Day 30 so they never get the Benefits of arround Day 50.

[@jamesworley9888]

I actually watched the video a little bit longer and I highly disagree with some of these points entertaining the idea that ''mindlessly retaining'' somehow gets you out of touch with some fairytale preference that supposedly exists. No such preference exists I can assure you and if it does it's a form of desensitization, your bodies purpose behind sex is procreation, it has nothing to do with whether the girl is blond or has dark hair or whether or not she has blue, brown or yellow eyes. If she's a good person and is pretty, beyond that you have no preference, the brain will want to constantly reproduce unless you train it otherwise. Outside the procreative purpose there is none behind sex, obviously you will relapse from time to time from not having a full grip but that is almost 100% societal programming.

[@Bryan-gy3gu]

Is there really any benefit to SR? I just did it for four months and I really didn’t feel much different nor did I experience any interest from the ladies

[@mbut00]

you’re cursed 😭

[@davidanku5643]

Alot of benefits. U jus have to transmute ur energy by. Hittin the gym. Stayin active. Praying. Reading and etc

[@OccidentalAryan]

You should be doing it for health reasons. Of course it's not going to make you more attractive to vvomen.

[@OccidentalAryan]

Retention is not a miracle and you still need to have a good diet (carnivore diet) and get good sleep, etc. It's just one piece of the puzzle. The benefits I got on my last streak (49 days + dopamine fasting) are as follows: - more general mental clarity - way, way more energy - less burnout at the end of the day - less anxiety, depression, general mental and emotional instability and erraticness - more joy from everyday activities - better skin (although there are many factors that helped my skin, not just retention) - less autistic symptoms (including better sensory integration, more extroversion/wanting to speak to people, better control of my emotions, etc) - my ED is cured, and I can actually find even below-average looking vvomen attractive now - more strength and flexibility - less blurry vision/brain fog (ties into benefit #1) - better sleep - the ability to not dwell on negative experiences and probably a few others I forgot.
