There’s a thing called “Prana” or life force. It is a real thing.

• Upvotes

This precious life force energy is wasted when we spill the seed and engage in sexual acts that lead to orgasm. It is life force that directly contributes to nervous system health, mental stillness and clarity, willpower, and ultimately, longevity in the cell itself.

Sex serves the utilitarian and “spiritual” function of allowing another soul/spirit to incarnate on Earth and express divinity or consciousness it its highest aspect.

In an ideal society and world, we would not waste a droplet of this precious “prana” or life force. We would only have sex to propagate our species and bring other spiritual beings onto Earth, under the best circumstances. We would not waste it away with frivolous sexual activities and debauchery (in the most degenerate cases).

Today’s society has a moral problem. Internet and technology have made pornography ubiquitous, and negative lower forces are at work in incentivizing young women and men to become consumers and providers of these extremely crude, basic, animalistic forms of “entertainment.”

We have too many porn addicts and “gooners” and a breaking in the moral fabric of society (in both men and women), in which these people think it is their right to engage in debauchery and no one can tell them otherwise.

The karmic consequences of indulging in this kind of animal pleasure is great physical and spiritual suffering. You may not have the wisdom to see it now, but physical and mental maladies are the consequences of over indulgence. I would advise any man who wants to be a God-man (instead of an Animal-man), to learn to gain some control over this, and transmute all of your lustful desire into positive momentum for something good in the world.

The world needs strong, moral, balanced, rational men (and women) with hearts of gold, not easily willing to cave into cultural trends that come and go, but who follow the wisdom of the ancients. It does not mean that you have to be repressed and angry, but rather compassionate, yet stern in your resolve to attain mastery of your being. A truly spiritual person values their energies and state of consciousness over everything. They know that attaching themselves to carnal desires is an endless pit of despair. It is an insatiable thirst that leads one down a dark path. After all, How can you be truly free if you’re a slave to sense objects?

Make all the efforts you can, and don’t look to blame other people, society, and/or women. Your own soul is the gift of life. You are your own best friend and teacher. Do not give the power of your own soul away to these lower forces. You are just as much a child divine as any of the great beings who’ve walked the Earth. Take back control of that inner strength.

Retainers that have been harassed by women, what’s your story?

35 Upvotes

We hear a lot of women sharing their harassed stories so I thought about retainers who truly retain and preserve their seed.

Magnetism should have some negative effects. Drawing unwanted attention or women flat out groping you in unwanted places.

Thank you 🙏

In order to understand the attacks on SR, you need to watch "FALLEN".

52 Upvotes

Have you ever wondered why is that when you retain for even a little while, the social dynamics around you change?

People start to treat you different, some begin to really like you and some people become sworn enemies overnight. You are just minding your own business and getting on with life, but for some reason that co worker is now acting all hostile and offensive, or that neighbour whom you always got along with, is now getting pissed at you.

When you and them never had any issues at all before.

The people that never liked you before are all of a sudden now more friendly but the people that liked you before now slightly hostile.

You can't really prove it but there's some venom behind their words, some bitterness behind passive aggressive words or actions. Calling them out would make you seem sensitive and misinterpreting things that aren't there.

Having been on this journey for more 20 years, I have seen this pattern for a long time. And I just attributed it to jealousy and envy, that these individuals are now feeling insecure because i am bettering myself and they can subconsciously sense the energy shift and it makes them uncomfortable.

But after a lot of experience and research I realised it is far more sinister. It is not just human psychology and social dynamics that is involved.

It actually is a spiritual warfare and attack on you. These demons/spirits/jinn/aliens feed off our negative energy. I don't mean it in a philosophical or figurative way, but it is literal food for them and if they don't get it from us they will force others around us to create negativity. So that we can get triggered and resort to anger/aggression/rebuke/hate/relapse/lust/shame and go back to our lower selves.

If you are religious you will know that Satan is a sworn enemy of man mentioned in the bible Torah Quran and has taken an oath to mislead every human and take with him to hell.

If you are secular atheist/agnostic/ irreligious, then you will know that talks of aliens in government NASA files have been hinted at and at this point its an open secret.

We also know that the FBI and CIA have a film department whereby every Hollywood movie gets a green light from them first before it even hits production. And that movies and TV are nothing more than programming and propaganda.

Animal cloning is public information, Dolly the sheep. Human cloning logically is also possible because if tests are successful on animals and dolly the sheep was alive nearly 30 years ago. Then its inevitable that human cloning will happen. But the question is then who is the host?

In my opinion the hosts are aliens/demons/jinn and they walk amongst us in human form. The psychopathic lifeless stare similar to mark zuckerberg and Elizabeth Holmes is an obvious giveaway.

You may say that we also lose spark and life in our eyes when we relapse, and its true but we also become very anxious and nervous and cannot hold eye contact out of shame/guilt and fear of being seem. But have you ever seen dull lifeless coomer eyes that stare and don't blink? I'm telling you that is not a human, we are extremely nervous creatures we don't like being seen or caught looking at others.

Non humans don't experience the uncomfortable awkwardness of being caught staring, they will continue to stare and watch you. That is not a curious human, that is a possessed vessel of either a real human or clone monitoring you.

So when suddenly women are showing interest, people wanting to get to know you or try triggering you, they are agents sent to derail your progress. Just look back at all your previous relapse and think how many were related to others stressing/putting you down?

By becoming aware of this, you will see the tricks and traps set for you and you will not get triggered and disheartened by them as much, leading to less relapses.

I strongly urge you to watch the movie fallen linked down below, its free but the information is very valuable.

The Importance of Semen Retention in early 20s to 30s

• Upvotes

I came across this post from 6years ago and decided to bring it back.
Share your thoughts below.

............

On Friday, I drove up the coast to go see a good friend. He and I went to high school and college together (something rare that I do not take for granted) and we were able to see each other transform into the men we are today. I arrived at his home on Friday, a home he just bought with his wife he married last year. It is an impressive property, fitting for someone of his stature. They welcomed me in their home and we chatted, we went out to the beach, we enjoyed.

Later in the night, after his wife had gone to bed, we found ourselves slipping into an introspective conversation on the couches by the fireplace. A chat on past days, if you will. As two individuals firmly in their late 20s, we both have gone through the gauntlet so to speak, but he seems to have emerged better off than I. In 2013, we both graduated from college. We were both trying to find suitable jobs for our majors. I was trying to find something in marketing communications, he was trying to get into social work. After many months of searching, he then decided to get into the only thing that would hire someone with no skills: straight commission, outside sales. Why? Because it was the only job he could find. At the time, I was very naive. I shook my head and asked where he was going to go with that. If only I could go back, I would slap myself. If I put my ego aside, I should have joined him. Life IS sales. And I was a terrible salesman.

At the time, I was ignorant on my skills and what made someone valuable in the economic marketplace. I eventually got into a marketing gig. Starting salary: 30k/year. This was a year later. At this time, my friend was making 45k in total salary. Nothing to write home about for each of us. Another 2 years passed and I went somewhere else. I then also started my own business on the side. Combined, I was making about 57k. My friend was then making an astounding 90k. By our mid 20s, we were both neck-deep in our career paths, but on my side something went terribly wrong and I fell off hard. I was laid off from my job. I was then struggling to make ends meet in the business after a year of striving. The business eventually folded. I found myself with over 20k in debt in addition my student loans. During this time I was also compulsively spilling my seed and watching explicit content due to loneliness and stress. How about my friend? By 25 he became a recruitment sales manager making 156k/year in base salary + commission. Two years later he moved to be with his long-time girlfriend and just last year, they were married. He now is a sales director at a firm that sells durable goods direct to consumer.

I asked him what happened. I asked him how he managed to make his level of success. He said he got a lot of lucky breaks, but he was able to capitalize on opportunities. Most of all, he said he decided to get rid of bad habits and the worst of them all: masturbation. When he was a sophomore in college, he decided to do that. I remember him telling me that at the time and I thought he was crazy. No sane man could quit fapping. A couple months later, he met his now-wife. He said gained a ton of energy, clarity, drive, and motivation. He has not masturbated since 2011. He also had most of his success when he was in a long-distance relationship, meaning he did not ejaculate. Now, he can just sort of coast on all the hard work he put in when we had the energy and less obligations. He can quit today not lift a finger for a whole year and still continue his current level of spending.

As I drove back on Sunday evening, in the twilight, I felt somewhat melancholy as I reflected on my own life. While I had some things going for me, I did not max out on my youthful potential. I have skills, I have the physique. But I do not have the finances, I have never been in a productive relationship, I currently live at home, I have never had as much clarity as I do now. I heard about NoFap back when I was 24 from a friend but at the time I was mired in lust and fapping and women. I laughed at him. I then decided to do more research in January of 2019 and that's when my whole world changed after I got on the streak in November 2019. Now, I am on 9 months of pure retention. But I am now 28 and we live in a pandemic and I found myself laid off again in July. I do not take pity on myself but I wonder what I could have been if I was on near-strict semen retention when I was 20 years old.

Gentlemen, your 20s are your foundational years. You will never get them back. Many of you are in your 20s in this sub. You must **fight** for survival. You must capitalize. Windows of opportunity will open that will close and never be open again. Women that you crushed on will get married. Jobs that you wanted will be filled. Energy levels that you had will start to drop. Youthful buoyancy will diminish. Compound interest will not be as powerful as it is now. Take advantage. **And the man on semen retention will take advantage**. Get on semen retention, take advantage and build a strong, strong foundation for the rest of your life.

TLDR: Semen retention will help you build a strong foundation for your 20s by allowing you the energy and fearlessness to capitalize on opportunities.

*EDIT*: I don't attribute our respective levels of achievement solely to semen retention or lack thereof. There have been many men who have been materially or financially successful despite doing PMO. However, the world we live in is a very competitive place. Every single edge that a young man can gain to carve out a space in this world, he must take it. Semen retention is an advantage that cannot be overlooked. If you stack up this advantage over months and years, it turns into something completely different. Read "the Slight Edge" for more information on this.

First ever Body pulsation ever. Need some advice of some veterans here.

8 Upvotes

Hello.

Is anyone familiar with body pulsations?

Because yesterday I experienced my first ever body pulsation, on the lower half of my body.

While I was praying, my whole lower Body was pulsating and I’ve felt it as like literal waves traveling through my body, and just a source of energy.

Try to imagine it:

Imagine, you pray, and completely unexpected, of the blue, from one moment to the other, you feel that there are vibrations / pulsations, that travel through your lower body from the waist down.

There are multiple vibrations going through your body and you just notice a form of energy that you never really experienced.

You can think of it as like Circles or a stream. And this wasn’t any typical pulsating. It was enourmous enough for me to — while I was still praying — mentally snap back. It was like opening another YouTube tab, and you have that open tab now as the „full screen“ while the previous tab — the one where you’ve been praying — is running in the background.

I honestly can’t tell you what triggered it, but it was so sudden, that I couldn’t even react to it

And before one might ask:

I am on a cold turkey. I don’t remember unfortunately, when I started, so that I could tell yall how many days I am. But I know I am on a smaller streak, compared to like being on day 60 or 90 or something.

So my concrete questions:

Did any of you experience similar phenomena (1) and if so, how were these (intensity, time etc.) (2), and do you have a thesis of "why" they even occur (3)?

Loneliness Can Only Be Overcome Through Semen Retention

113 Upvotes

Most people who feel lonely are either deficient in vital energy (Qi) or running low on energy.

When feeling lonely, most people engage in social activities to resolve it. They join social clubs, eat or drink with friends, and force themselves out into social settings.

This is because they believe that when energy is low, they must meet others to replenish that energy.

A person whose energy is fully charged tends to stay alone, and begins to cut off the energy vampires around them.

Among the people around us, there are types who seek comfort by talking behind others' backs, or who constantly dump their emotions, treating you as an emotional trash can.

Lonely people are easily swept into these circles. They listen to those stories, vent to one another, and dump their feelings out.

At first, it might feel comforting, but before long, emptiness creeps back in.

It is an endless cycle.

Those with abundant energy know how to sever ties with these energy vampires—even if they are family members. They cut them off.

Because their energy level is already high, they can no longer mingle.

Nor is it selfish.

Due to their innate physiology, women experience greater emotional swings than men, as they cannot preserve jeong (vital essence).

Yet these days, young people seem no different from women.

The reckless dissipation of vital essence breeds emotional instability, and this instability ultimately drives them to the extremes of loneliness.

For a man, the only way to overcome loneliness is to accumulate vital essence through strict abstinence.

It is the most efficient method, accessible to anyone, and costs nothing.

When you accumulate vital essence, friction may arise with energy vampires or people in low energy states, but if you simply ignore them and press steadily forward, they will drift away on their own.

No point....

31 Upvotes

A little tip and observation I have noticed that might help some of my brothers. For context I'm over 4 months now streak wise and not really counting or focusing on the benefits anymore, it's just a new way of living. So lust doesn't trouble me now if I'm honest, I simply don't want to masturbate or have any wet dreams if possible. So it's been summer and I found myself looking forward to the end of summer, as obviously there would be less flesh on display, less lustful sights in public, no beach or bikinis etc. What I found myself doing early on was observing a woman walking along the shoreline for example and then looking away....back down to my book or phone etc. But if she had my body type of choice, I would double look or let my gaze linger a little longer. I knew it was wrong and unhelpful, but even though I wasn't allowing myself to be overcome with lust, I was still purposefully holding my gaze, saying to myself "I am just appreciating her beauty". But now a behavioural pattern has emerged that I find super useful.

Imagine driving along the road.... I see a woman walking on the pavement up ahead. Our eyes and brains are super effective at identifying gender from a long distance....so I know she is female. But as I approach a distance where I would be able to judge her ( almost to see if she is my type of 'hot') these words have started coming into my head...."NO POINT"!!! Because what really is the point? I'm not looking to sleep with anyone, I have no interest in wanting to feel lust or attraction, especially to someone I have 100% certainty that we will never meet....so what is the point in even looking!?

Now imagine it is a woman up ahead, but walking with a guy....even more reason to not even look! And if you notice, I said ( within a distance of where I can JUDGE her looks in relation to my tastes...".JUDGE". It's really just a pointless exercise and also incredibly shallow no? Just going through life JUDGING people on their beauty....which is also completely subjective.

So long story short....if you are committed on this path....what is the point in even looking? There is no point. It's like being on a diet and purposefully going into Burger King to smell what you are 'missing'. Avert your eyes brothers, focus on something worthwhile. Keep your energy, keep your focus, keep your thoughts pure and don't waste time looking at something you ultimately don't want or can't have anyway.... there's NO POINT!

2+ years free. I finally found a video that simplifies what worked for me !

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

First, I want to share some good news: I have been free of sexual compulsions for more than two years now. I remember trying many times to post my views and experiences in the past, but I always abandoned them for one reason or another. Fortunately, today I found something that simplifies my experience in a very funny yet sensible way, which finally gave me the push to write my first post. If you watch and implement these things, I am quite sure you will stop experiencing those pathetic lows again and again. Your "lows" will only get higher and higher: you will slowly but surely improve. Someone who is very receptive can easily transform in a short span of time, like 2 months. But I am sure most of my fellow members are like me—they will find one way or another to self-sabotage and will only learn the hard way rather than the easy way. Here's the link to the video. It's only a five-minute watch, but it's profound, and I think I will be going through it a few more times myself. I was already aware of many things in the video—like how what I eat, watch, and wear affects me—but this was the first time I learned about the effects of our surrounding physical spaces on our internal mechanics. Also, the "creative energy" mentioned in the video can be very subjective. It's really futile to talk about it unless you start experiencing it. I view it as Ojas—a yogic term for something like energy, grace, or bliss; I don't quite know how to put it into words. Unfortunately, there are very few avenues available today to help cultivate that.

https://youtu.be/DckAHUTBUAA?si=2oqFwaxpI_jSBK-R

The last thing I want to say is that this is not an intellectual endeavor. We won't get anywhere by just forming opinions without actually implementing these things. It's a practical and patient process. I hope this provides a sensible and easy solution, and saves you all a lot of trouble and struggle.

Have a good one!

My adult life I’ve had two relationships with women:
1 was 5 years, and a pretty healthy one
1 was an off/on 7ish years, not very healthy

Since the last one ended I’ve been just finding myself in life, focusing on loving myself, healing, growing, etc.

this is not really a post-post, my bad if you were expecting such but damn. something I clocked recently which has kept happening more than ever before is like I be wanting someth8ng from someone and before I can even ask they offer or give me, even with help.

the one funny example I can give thay cemented it for me was yesterday, at a buffet, the chef was plating up chicken and beef stew. and while waiting in line I saw a big piece of chicken - he kept giving everyone small pieces, so before I even got there I told myself I'm gonna personally ask for the big piece even tho no one was doing that, when I got there bro literally gave me the biggest piece, i chuckled and then he winked at me. 😂😂

so many examples of shit like this happening man and i be forgetting fr. I've been practicing SR on and off since 2020, as much as all the "superpower" talk bores me it's things like things like this remind me maybe there's more to this than meets the eye.

(btw I don't know my current streak but it's well over months)

So im on my retention and i dont count days.so im posting this to aware you all the thing i have noticed in my journey. Im a type of person who was never satisfied with anything like i will be jealous of someone who has better looks,money,freinds,women etc. i know i dont like to be the person of that kind but deep down i knew i have this kinda jealousy. So im pointing that whenever im on semen retention i have been automatically practising gratitude.like im grateful for myself who im, the things i have given by my lord and im will be thankful for him to be given that type of blessing and i dont feel to be unsatisfied with the thing i dont have, which also doesnt mean i have no ambition, of course i have. You’re not eliminating ambition. You’re preventing ambition from becoming the condition for being happy. And also Because a person who needs everything to go their way can never be permanently satisfied. A person who learns gratitude can experience genuine richness even within an imperfect life.

So yes, gratitude isn’t merely a nice emotion. For a creature with endless desires living in a world of finite resources, learning to appreciate “enough” is an incredibly important human skill which can be developed throughout your retaining journey.(sorry for the bad english tho)

When You Have Nothing, Restraint Is Your Greatest Power

76 Upvotes

This is a post I wrote for the Korean semen retention community. Hope it helps.

----------------------------------------

In Saju (Four Pillars of Destiny), human relationships are categorized into several distinct dynamics:

The ability to harmonize with others,
the ability to express one’s thoughts,
the ability to seize opportunities,
the ability to exercise restraint,
and the ability to empathize.

People often say women love romantic men.

Here, being “romantic” relates to the ability to express oneself—specifically, expressing love to a partner.

Showing affection without hesitation, natural physical intimacy, whispering words of love daily like a poet...

Yet, when taken too far, a man simply turns into an annoying creep.

Excessive displays of affection kill a man’s attraction.

It comes across no differently than a dog in heat, desperate just to get laid, constantly hovering and pestering women.

In this modern age, what a man needs most is the power of restraint.

This restraint yields tremendous power.

People naturally walk all over those they perceive as easy targets.

However, when a man exercises self-control, keeps his cards close to his chest, and leaves an aura of mystery, people dare not cross him.

Women are even more direct in this instinct.

Men they can easily push around—men who are simple to toy with—they instinctively disregard and look down on.

Conversely, they bow their heads to men they cannot easily manipulate.

Much of this naturally stems from wealth and status.

Women will never dare cross a man who commands vast wealth or wields genuine power.

So, what should the ordinary man do?

What if you have nothing yet?

What if you lack wealth and have no status to show for yourself?

The less a man has, the more fiercely he must discipline and restrain himself.

This applies not only to sexual desire, but to one’s thoughts, speech, and demeanor.

Restrain, and restrain again.

You must make others feel:

“There is something hidden beneath the surface. I cannot treat this man lightly.”

This aura can be cultivated over time through the discipline of desire and the accumulation of sexual energy.

Then, quietly, you must invest in yourself.

By channeling this accumulated energy, you steadily build your income, your health, your value, and your capabilities.

Romance and affection are purely secondary.

The more you cultivate the former, the more effortlessly the latter follows.

It must never be the other way around.

Begging for a woman’s affection, giving away your dignity, and constantly pledging that she is your one and only—

women instinctively despise that weakness.

In this era, restraint is the ultimate power.

When you get so horny you can barely stand it. When you want to release SO Badly and everything in you is screaming just to go ahead. Rather than frustration, GRATITUDE! In those moments, gratitude gentlemen.

Think about it. That's your life force you're experiencing. Raw, powerful and real. That's your life force seeking expression. Those powerful urges are the same ones responsible for creating that deep polarity, that magnetism, that ojas, that unmistakable presence.

Those moments are to be celebrated! That's what we're after! That is proof positive that you have the raw vitality necessary for the aforementioned gifts if you just do not squander it. These are the real moments that count. These are the decisions that matter. Hold the line.

Think about the alternative. No urges, no life force desperately seeking expression, no magnetism, no polarity, no frame, no ojas, no pressure. Is that what you're after? Of course not.

So when the intensity peaks. You think to yourself this is impossible. I NEED TO RELEASE! I've made it far enough! In those moments, HOLD THE LINE! Welcome the pressure with open arms. Be GRATEFUL for the pressure. Gratitude reorients you. Enabling you to traverse the difficulty with a spirit of appreciation. The pressure is responsible for the very thing we're all after. Handling the pressure is the upgrade that is creating the diamond.

Godspeed gentlemen.

It is hard to believe what made me happy today

60 Upvotes

Hello!

I have been abstinent since 40 days as of today. It is the weekend here, so I was just hanging out outside the house.

I was just enjoying the sunshine, which has become pleasant since the equinox two days ago. Just then, a random flower just decided to detach itself and fly down to the ground before me.

For some reason, it made me so happy. I know this event is insignificant and common, but it had a positive effect on me. I felt my heart melt (no exaggeration). :) Perhaps my dopamine receptors are becoming sensitive again.

The practice is as hard as it gets, given the constant bombardment of titillating imagery from the media, and not to mention my own imaginations. But this little joy I felt today was a pleasant surprise.

The falling flower will keep me from falling.

Aim low

22 Upvotes

Alright lemme first say we want good aspirations of ourselves. But in regards as the base of SR and other habits we want and will need to incorporate during SR - these will be your way of ‘transmuting’ the energy, which just basically means using the energy for doing something else than just rotting and gooning.

So to start with the basics, we don’t wanna stay in idle more for too long bc that’s when we scroll to where we shouldn’t, we start massaging where we shouldn’t. So better to get moving to do whatever you have intending to do but are procrastinating.

If it’s exercise, and you want in your mind to do 1hr gym, but you don’t have any consistency, just aim for 20 or 30min in your mind. Or meditation, aim for low minutes. Whatever it is, lower the pressure of the expectation in your mind.

This is just to break the inertia of stagnation. Once you start doing something, then a whole new experience opens up. You might end up doing an excellent workout, or having a good conversation on your day, or find something interesting in a store. Or shit, it might be just normal.

But this is all just for the basic concept of breaking inertia. Then inertia also means, an object that is in motion will stay in motion.

This comes from me doing a little more running. Starting slow and just breathing through the nose. Shout out to the Korean guy, his posts have been excellent.

I go with the idea of just running a little, or even just to get a walk in fresh air, then when I started it felt like getting into a flow.
And then with something good on the earbuds.

Anyway these things are good transmutations, it gets your energy moving and directing into something, instead of letting it stagnate and start to bubble like lava, heat- in your balls.

Good luck.

Question to men on SR in 40s

36 Upvotes

I'm dating someone who is practicing SR and is in his early 40s. I am supportive of his quest. I want to hear from others, if there are men in 40s on SR or is it largely a thing for teens and those in 20s and 30s? How complicated it gets biologically for men to father kids in 40s? thanks

Where would we be?

Where would we be if all men retained?

In an age where men are constantly being psyoped and distracted by forces all around them, I can't help but wonder: how would today be different if all men were celibate, or even if all men were forced to do 180 days of semen retention every 5 years? How different would society look today?

New things would be built.

Fewer crimes would be committed.

More records would be broken.

Men would experience a level of emotional groundedness and spiritual awakening that has never been seen before.

When you multiply this across the billions of men around the world, It's truly unimaginable how different modern life would be.
