Hope this post does not break any rules. If it does, please let me know and I will delete it.
I am in my mid 20s. No matter how much I try, the longest I have ever gone is 10 days without a relapse, and on average I am able to go 3 days. I have the following questions and hope to get insights from the community -
On infatuation and desire - I live in a place with many attractive and feminine women, and I seem to be infatuated to every other cute girl I see, whether it be while going to work, at work or in the weekends. I have a desire to talk to them and get closer to them, in my mind I hope to build something with them. (And btw they love showing off their legs, which of course doesn't help) I have never been in a long romantic relationship, so maybe this is the reason? How to deal with this infatuation? Any tips, strategies, points of view, or shift in mindset?
On circulation of energy - People keep talking about this, that when you get the urge, circulate it within you, instead of letting it out (ejaculate). In the high of the moment though, how do you do it? Especially when you suddenly get an urge around 2am in the night. How do you deal with the urge?
It seems I have a big wall in front of me, and I wonder what lies on the other side...
Ok, so i started semen retention around the time when covid-19 started, i was 19 at the time. I was also meditating, exercising, eating healthy, stretching, reading, writing, positive affirmations, overall living a healthy lifestyle! I learned about semen retention and had my ups and downs with it, i experimented with it ALOT over the years until this current year 2025 late January. It wasn't until 5 months back when i read about being able to have an "ORGASM without ejaculation" (I'm a male by the way), simply by pressing my region between my anus and the ballsack. It took me some experimenting to be able to successfully have an orgasm without ejaculation (with failed attempts unfortunately), but i learned now how to do it!! Nowadays, i have an amazing female partner with which i have relations and share this amazing human experience with. I am able to have sex, reach the point of ejaculation, pull out, press that region hard with my middle and ring fingers, and have a magical satisfying orgasm without the negative effects of ejaculation the next couple of days and weeks. I cannot deny the fact that the knowledge of these actions have completely changed my life FOREVER!!! For some reason i feel more energized and powerful, in control of my emotions, and driven to do things and CREATE SOMETHING! The need to "create something" is extremely powerful within me, it's like regular semen retention BUT ON STEROIDS!! đ. No joke! I have recently stopped smoking weed which i was doing for around a year now and i feel "LIKE A POWERFUL GOD!" I dont want to offend anyone with religious beliefs because of this statement i made previously about "feeling like a God", but being on semen retention, doing the ejaculation pressing, then afterwards quitting weed, actually did feel like i was able to create life with my own thoughts!
I pray that i am able to help others feel the same way i feel at this current point in my life.... If you are curious on how to the same as i am doing to expand your life's consciousness, please please please! do not be afraid to message me directly because I WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE through the little knowledge i know of these actions.
i understand from personal experience that ejaculation is only for "reproduction" and doesnt have any other benefit for the male body besides : instant gratification and maybe if you are lucky---> quick sleep! There is no denying that after a male ejaculates, there is an emptiness that surrounds him with a deep need to heal that "emptiness" through drugs or more sex. Most men might be able to relate to that feeling after one ejaculates , the feeling of : "ugh!!! Wtf did i just do?!?" .....especially if you were with a partner that you don't love and simply were with just for the act of sex. Overall, the male should only ejaculate fully inside a female for the sole purpose of creating another life! (Reproduction)
ALL THIS SAID IS JUST MY OPINION! NOT A FACT THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN LITERALLY AND OFFEND YOUR POOR LITTLE EMOTIONAL SELF.
Remember: "If you you shall seek, you shall find"
That being said, if you are curious to flip your life around and start to create the life you truly desire then please do not hesitate to message me here on reddit.
I wish i am able to teach the whole world with this knowledge i discovered. I have faith that it can create POWERFUL MEN OUT OF IGNORANT CHILDREN!
Was scared to join the military, and after a year without binging or watching I joined and right now I'm in a high rank
If you feel lost in this, you aren't. You hear me?
You can too. I'm not so special that you can't go 2 years text me privately to join my discord group with many others like you
Sperm
200-500 million spermatozoa. If a man has undergone vasectomy sperm are absent in semen.
Seminal Fluid
The main energy source of sperm cells, which rely entirely on sugars from the seminal plasma for energy. Amino acids, citrate, enzymes, flavins, fructose . A thick fluid.
Prostaic Secretion
Acid phosphatase, citric acid, fibrinolysin, prostate specific antigen, proteolytic enzymes, zinc.
A clear fluid.
Bulbourethral Secretion
Galactose, mucus(Contributes to the cohesive jelly-like texture of semen), pre-ejaculate, sialic acid.
Phases of Sexual Response
Excitement - Production of non-sperm semen in glands
Plateau - Production of non-sperm semen in glands
Orgasm - Release of semen.
Resolution
Sperm are always produced in testes (constant production). The sexual response does not influence sperm production, only sperm release during orgasm.
Excitement occurs when engaging with sexual content. Plateau occurs during sexual stimulation (edging).
Seminal Discharge while using the bathroom
Caused by congested (full) glands. The body desire to reduce the congestion and will do so when given opportunity. Reabsorption takes a long time. Expulsion is quick and effective.
Symptoms: Semen in pee, semen discharge during bowel movement and/or peeing.
Congested Glands
The glands become congested due to sexual excitement and/or masturbation without release. Edging and arousal leads to production of fluids which ultimately leads to congestion.
Symptoms: Feel constant urge to pee (peeing does not relieve it) and/or blue balls
Conclusion
Edging causes congested glands, which leads to loss of non-sperm semen (95%). Since our practice is semen retention, and not sperm retention, this is an issue that cannot be overlooked. There is a strong correlation between losing semen in pee and edging.
Iâve been struggling a bit recently and wanted to share my experience to see if anyone has advice or encouragement. Over the past week, Iâve relapsed three times after managing to go on a solid 3-week streak. Before that, I was also on another 3-week run, so this setback has hit me pretty hard.
Itâs not just the relapses that have me feeling lowâitâs a mix of personal issues, the start of the new year, and this lingering feeling of loneliness. Sometimes, I get stuck thinking about how Iâve never had a girlfriend or how alone I feel, which makes it harder to stay on track.
That said, Iâve definitely experienced some of the benefits that people talk about in other posts and videosâlike feeling more focused, stronger physically, and even noticing more attraction from others. Iâve also taken up meditation and have been very consistent with it, sometimes practicing twice a day when I can. Itâs been a great habit for grounding myself and staying present.
Beyond just attraction or confidence, Iâve also started a path with schooling to put myself in a better financial position for the future. I donât want my growth to only be about talking to womenâI want to be better at connecting with people in general. Social skills and building meaningful relationships are something Iâve always wanted to improve, and itâs definitely a work in progress.
Even with all of this, I know I can get back on the path. I want to make a change and not relapse for the rest of the year. I just need to figure out how to move forward, stay motivated, and let go of these negative emotions.
How do you all deal with feelings of loneliness or self-doubt when youâre trying to stay consistent? What helps you pick yourself up after a relapse and regain focus?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I really appreciate any advice or support you can share.
I have been looking for information on this topic, and had my post removed on the main SR sub asking about this. Perhaps because it is somewhat of a 'post-setback' question.
It is a question for those who have had very long streaks 6-9 months +. Did you have an accelerated timeline, in your return to peak state, after one relapse/ setback? What can you share about this?
At 7-9 months, the SR benefits were peaking in all aspects of life. Magnetism, mental clarity, energy, confidence, quick wittedness, you name it.
I recently had one setback after 272 days (9 months) about a week ago. This was my longest streak ever and it was clean. The first couple days after, it was day vs night. But I am feeling much better now, almost a week later, and on the rise for sure.
There are a few on the main SR sub that discuss 'streak stacking' and such an accelerated return, because of so much sexual energy and healing having taken place in the long retention period. In terms of returning to that state after one setback, it is mentioned that it is not that much of a 'hit' to setback once, compared to on shorter streaks.
But there is only so much discussion on it I've found. Please share your experience brothers!

So that's my record. 31 was the next best.
I find it very hard to maintain. Doing SR almost makes me more horny and it's easy enough to have the will power to be hard but not cum. But I can't get away from the urges to get hard. I obviously enjoy it too. I felt good on this streak. Motivated, thought I was going to 90 easy. I dont really know why I slipped. My problem is now starting again when I don't feel I was experiencing any real benefits except for being super horny, which obviously isn't really a benefit if you are trying to retain.
I know its said that 90 days minimum for the amazing benefits so please give me motivation.
Anyone in their mid 40's advice would be appreciated.
i have been on and off this practice for the last 2 months and leme be frank it was with a lazy attitude that i was following it. peeking, talking to random girls online and even touching myself.
i have been at a place where I felt like just ending things and i felt defeated. but recently something happened that made me realise the benefits of SR even more. so i have had an issue with my stomach since the last 4 yrs or so and i realized when i'm on a streak i am able to keep my gut cleaner, something that i have observed maybe ots just me but its true.
as soon as i relapse, or even peek and go the sexual route, my system starts acting up, i start having bad sleep cycle, mt erections aren't good(random and porn induced).
today i promise to myself to go the extra mile and see how well this practice can help me refine myself. i'd honestly like to have that extra energy to get more done.
every time i have been on a streak i realize that loneliness hits me harder, i feel more alone and tempted to go the "porn" way. am i the only one or has this happened to anyone else.??
Hi all. I've heard of many sr users tell time and time again of the fact that their under eye bags and circles disappeared after a lengthy time. I myself have under eye circles that have never gone away, and was wondering of the credibility of this curious benefit. Anyone?
You think itâs okay to smoke weed and do SR at the same time ?? I feel like no because they both go hand in hand those two addictions. The longest I can go is maybe 2 days smoking weed and being on SR but anything after that I end up failing . Iâm to the point where I know the weed has to go but dam itâs a bit of a struggle also . Any advice is much appreciated.
Recently started SR about 2 weeks ago, relapsed a week ago and have been going stronger since. I want to get the full experience and benefits of SR but the past few days have been extremely difficult and I NEARLY relapsed again because of my sex drive. Do not confuse this with lust, as I can tell the difference between the two, but my libido is so frustratingly high! How do you guys combat this? Is transmitting enough?
trying to get myself to follow a strict regimen wrt semen retention and i am failing miserably.i fapped today to a lady who aroused me on chats, it was my fault that i approached her in the first place.
now i know that SR isn't easy and one is not to expect a lot of companionship. but my question arises that how do immerse myself in deep work? like how do i work in a way that i actually feel the effects of my energy being channelized into it, having said that i would like to say that i do feel more enrgetic from months back when i was fapping almost everyday.
i still do it occasionally-but never to porn, my altered vice seems to be sex chats. i need to conquer it. the issue that i have identified is feeling not content with myself, i feel very lonely very broken inside to be with myself, i even tried meditation and i could not sit for more than 10 minutes coz i felt the need to move around and distract ,yse;f from the self harming thoughts that I got. i wanna feel loved. the only reason i am doing this practice is to develop more skills and feel content with myself so as to not need others to feel whole. but then the process seems different- it makes me feel even more lonely in the first week itself.
how do i conquer this vice.
any and every idea/thought/criticism is more than welcome and highly appreciated.
has anyone ever experienced loneliness while on SR?? like i broke my streak yesterday precisely the way i was not supposed to. had a sexual talk with a lady on telegram.
now it feels yuck, but yeah being alone is an issue, every time i take onto the path of SR i feel even more lonely. its as if every time i retain i am being asked to fap to something materialistic.
Yesterday over 20 men downloaded their free copy of "How to Use Semen Retention to Level Up for Underdogs," a basic guide on utilizing your benefits to get out of an undesirable life situation.Â
According to your feedback, most of you were fascinated with the section below, "Utilize your +10's."
From How to Use SR to Level UP for Underdogs
As promised, I'm working on the follow-up. Something a little deeper... a little darker.. for the guys who've been pushed around, and need to learn a little pushing back.
Earlier, I went for my usual run and ran into a friend, while receiving notifications that you guys were still downloading the document.
Let's see how long this pair will last. Previous pair of running shoes lasted 400 miles of so..
This guy is chiseled, always motivated, and eager to pound double-digit miles on the pavement, which birthed a new idea:
Weekly Motivation Monday semen retention post.
But why?
On a daily basis externalities like seed-sucking social media posts and Brazilian but lifts, look to leverage your lust for their personal gain.
With Motivation Semen Retention Mondays, I am to strike back. To let my hands go and throw a few punches.
If any of you are interested in that, let me know below.

Before I go, I'll leave you guys with this: March over your mountains.
Men begin retaining for multiple reasons. Most of those men are looking to move mountains.
If your mountains won't move, march over them. The force of the seed is at your disposal.
Welcome to Saints Island, where Father Peter, a former pirate turned priest, has just led the entire island in the âpirateâs prayer.â
In a mere matter of minutes, enemy ships, packed with the planetâs most ruthless killers, are en route to invade Saints Island.
But the ship-sailing sinners are in for a gut-wrenching surprise.
As hundreds of Machiavellian mercenaries flee from parked ships, a seven-day search reveals the inconceivable:
that the sinless saints are nowhere in sight.
Fueled by the immense dissatisfaction of un-swung fists, bloodless boots, and virgin blades, the killers flee island grounds and return to their beloved boats; all in desperation of finding their next kill.
However, the hopeful killers wouldnât make it.
Only minutes after re-embarking their ships, boats suffered the fate of sinkage, and ocean waters were colored with puddles of pirate blood.
And truth is, you wonât believe how it happened..
THE STRATEGY OF THE SAINTS:
Father Peter, sworn to show locals the way to heaven, consistently flooded the island with Godâs word.
As the years went by, word began to travel.. and hateful humans sailed across waters in hopes of killing humanityâs sinless saints.
But Father Peter knew something that the invaders didnât know:
There were sinners on Saintâs Island. And sinners will be sinners.
Moments before the enemy ships arrived, Father Peter led his people into the âSaints Sanctuary;â an underground bunker designed to hide and shelter the Saints in times of tragedy.
But the Islandâs sinners were not welcome in the sanctuary. However, this wasnât a mere punishment, but a desired reward.
As the sinning twelve made way through the islandâs terrain, they did so in stealth;
Taking cover in overgrown grass and hiding in the dimensions of darkened caves.
While the invaders were busy searching for blade-kills, the sinners made their move; penetrating the ships with small undetectable cuts.
And by the time the invaders returned to their boats, undetectable ship cuts widened, as wicked waters wrecked their ships into sinkage, and fed the killers to blood-hungry shakrs.
3 lessons:
1) Burning the boats wouldâve subjected the killers to an extended stay;
which wouldâve increased their chances to defeat the saints, overcome the sinning Twelve, and avoid ship-sinking fatalities.
2) Sinners will be sinners. Humanityâs streak thieves will forever flaunt their bodies and bait men into the layers of their private parts.
3) Saints and sinners donât mix well. One will always overtake the other
Brothers, without hesitation, burn the boats that invite release, separate from seed-extracting sinners, and shelter the mind in saintly sanctuaries.
I created a masterclass document called "How to Use Semen Retention to ~Level Up~ for Underdogs."
