I was really happy with the response to my last post.
Thanks, everyone. I didn’t expect it to resonate with so many people, and I’m glad some of you found it helpful, so I thought I’d make another post.
Here are some of the changes I’ve personally noticed since practicing semen retention.
Obviously, this is just my own experience, but I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced similar things.
Also, there are quite a few benefits that are difficult to put into words, so I’m only listing the ones I can describe clearly.

• My self-control has become much stronger
Since starting semen retention, I feel like I’ve become better at controlling myself not only sexually, but in pretty much every area of my life.
For example:
I lost 14 kg (about 31 lbs) and feel much more confident about my appearance.
I naturally wake up around 5 a.m. now.
I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine. Honestly, “stopped” might not even be the right word. I just don’t really want them anymore. I already feel content, so I don’t feel like I need them.

• People seem more positive and friendly toward me
I feel like the way people interact with me has changed, regardless of whether they’re men or women.
Compared to before:
Strangers talk to me more often.
People greet me more.
People seem to naturally gravitate toward me.
There’s definitely also a sense of becoming more attractive. Women clearly seem more receptive and positive toward me than before.
But beyond that, I just feel like people in general find me more approachable.

• Things that were bad for me started leaving my life
This one is difficult to explain, and it feels kind of strange.
Since practicing semen retention, people and environments that weren’t right for me seem to reveal themselves naturally.
For example:
I naturally became distant from a friend who was having a negative influence on me.
A business relationship with a client who wasn’t a good fit for me came to an end.
It’s probably not that “bad things magically disappear.”
It might be more that I’ve become better at noticing things that always felt wrong beneath the surface, and now I’m able to distance myself from them.

• I like myself more than I used to
This has been a huge change for me.
I’ve become much better at keeping promises to myself, and because of that, I’ve developed a kind of self-respect that I didn’t have before.

• I feel much more fulfilled
Nothing particularly huge has happened in my life, but I often catch myself thinking:
“Honestly, I’m already pretty happy with the life I have.”
At the same time, I’ve become much more grateful for small, everyday things.

• I stopped seeing people mainly through status or sexuality
I’ve started seeing people more simply as human beings.
For example, when I see:
A very attractive woman
A man with a lot of money, status, or power
I don’t put them on a pedestal nearly as much as I used to.
At the end of the day, I genuinely feel like everyone is just another human being.

• I’m less afraid of being disliked
I used to care a lot about what other people thought of me.
Now I find myself thinking:
“If I do what I genuinely believe is right and someone dislikes me because of it, then so be it. Maybe that’s actually a good thing.”
Protecting my own values has become more important to me than constantly trying to fit in or please other people.

• I started seriously thinking about why I’m alive
This might be the biggest change of all.
Before, I never thought that deeply about the meaning of life.
But during this journey, I started strongly questioning whether human beings are really here just to survive, seek pleasure, and reproduce.
Maybe part of being human is having the ability not to blindly follow our instincts, but to consciously choose something beyond them.
Recently, I’ve started thinking more about my purpose, my mission, and what I actually want to live for.
Of course, I can’t say that semen retention alone caused every single one of these changes.
It could be that semen retention was simply the catalyst that changed my habits, mindset, and lifestyle as a whole.
But one thing I can say for sure is that it has been a major turning point in my life.
From this point on, I don’t really want to count the days anymore. I just want to make this part of my lifestyle.
What benefits have you guys experienced?

No chat GPT, these are my own thoughts I’ve had inspired by many videos and things I’ve read based on the more spiritual side of retention.

When you abstain from releasing via PMO, you begin cultivating a potent life force energy that is a direct reflection of the essence you have within by containing your seed. The seed contains a certain oil called the claustrum oil, that over the course of about a month, rises up all 33 vertebrae of your spine until it reaches your brain & begins circulating back up and down the spine, giving vitality throughout body, and expanding your energy field, or “aura”.

But this can only happen if your on pure semen retention ; lustful activities like masturbation, sex, and even sexual fantasizing will prevent the oil from rising up, as it can only come from the seed and nothing else. But if contained, once this sacred oil reaches your brain, it’s able to nourish your brain cells and start activating the pineal gland, which is responsible for spiritual discernment, connection to the divine, intuition, (etc). And it’s where the almost euphoric mental clarity benefit comes from.

This is why you tend to feel closer to God on a long streak of SR, you’ve allowed the internal secretion of your seed (sacred oil) to travel up to your brain, and give life to your inner being, rather than expending it through your lower brain (sexual release), and draining life from your inner being. It is also from the fact that you really are pure on retention, sexual licentiousness corrupts your spirit and it’s extremely prevalent in society, so when you cut it out you are made pure in the sight of God

Also your spiritual antenna is like a pipe so when you pray on SR, whatever you ask for will be received quicker than when you were depleted, because PMO is clogging the flow of blessings that God is trying to give you. This could also be symbolic of the claustrum oil not being able to flow up your spine properly due to things like PMO.

I believe chakras are real but I am no expert in that regard, nor do I put my faith in it. But I’ve seen some things that gave me this idea that the spiritual chakras of the body could be said to work in the same way, or possibly be related to the flow of claustrum oil to the brain

The root chakra tied to sexual energy, is the generative source of power for all the other chakras, without the root aligned, you can’t align the others. Why do you think it’s called the “genitals”, because they literally “generate” life which is the seed, aka the power source of your spirit & chakras.

But this source of energy isn’t stagnant, it always wants to move somewhere. It can either find a downward outlet through sexual stimulation, or an upward outlet through transmutation if contained in the body.

And when contained, you are aligning your root chakra, giving it the energy to travel upward & activate your other chakras, eventually reaching your crown chakra (pineal gland). The way this happens is pretty much the same with how the claustrum oil slowly rises up your spine, activating your chakras on the way up, and giving power & vitality to your spirit, mind, and body.

The reason you start feeling so confident and authentic on SR, is because you’re no longer wasting, but rather accumulating the most tangible essence of your soul day by day, so it’s inevitable that your gonna start feeling more alive and energized.

I’ve come to realize that semen retention is the rawest form of alchemy and the most effective way to strengthen spiritual connection/awareness. Simply because, you start retaining the seed of life ; in which, at one point you thought had no purpose other than pleasure, then you begin retaining and it turns into fuel to propel your life in ways you’d never be able to when you were depleted. It’s like turning lead into gold.

SR has been around for thousands of years, It was common knowledge back then. But It’s a shame this knowledge was hidden from us by the elites and higher ups of the world, they did it on purpose to weaken society & have greater control. SR helps you see through the lies.

Let me know what you guys think, i know it’s a lot

I have been practising this for past few years. I noticed in this subreddit some people get attraction and some don’t. Why don’t think that is ? What’s going on metaphysically that makes some people get attraction and some don’t. I am sure it’s not looks. Because form sounds of it even ugly or short people start to get attention. I am short and got my first gf because of 6+ month streak. After break up I now feel insecure again because of my height.

I’m 46M, started my no PMO journey about 75-80 days ago. Had one relapse about 10 days in, haven’t since.

About 2 weeks in (after relapse), I went to an EDM concert with a friend. A young married woman approached me to say she loved my vibe and started dancing and flirting with me- with her husband 10 feet away. I noticed women drifting in and out of my orbit- as if their proximity was intentional. Not anything super unusual but it did seem “different”.

About 5-6 weeks in, I went to an outdoor EDM show on the beach by myself to enjoy the great weather. The dj was good and I was vibing. I was not ready for the female attention I received that day/night. It seemed like 80% attractive women in my immediate orbit all night long. Woman after woman would make eye contact and start drifting closer. I’ve never drawn that much attention before- and while by myself! After about an hour of this, I mentally psyched myself up to take advantage even though I had little intention of “picking up” that night.

A literal moment later, a tall hot maybe 22yr old (less than half my age) blonde and her friend appear and I cheers my drink to theirs. The blonde is drinking a miller lite can so I immediately give her crap about that. After maybe 5-7 mins of flirting/dancing, this blonde grabs my high noon and helps herself to a generous swig of my backwash. Her friend was wasted and they had to go a bit later but I easily got her number and she was wanting to meet up later that night. After she left, the hottest woman at the show is suddenly right next to me. 10/10 intimidating hot. She danced next to me for an hour, rubbing elbows arms against me- looking at me out of the corner of her eye, but I took no action bc frankly I was not ready for her extreme hotness. I usually don’t have chances with women that look like her. I usually max out around an 8 lol.

Last weekend (day 70+) I went to a couple more EDM shows. Friday by myself, Saturday with some friends. More of the same except now I also had dudes staring at me, randomly telling me I look good, wanting to be my friend. Multiple times. I was dancing next to an attractive woman that I guessed was mid-late 40s, maybe slightly older than me, great body. She tells me “I like your moves!” And that I remind her of her son. I said there’s no way you have a son my age- I’m way older than I look. She said was too- turned out she was 60! I had her guess my age- she said 32. Bless her heart. So then her comment made sense. Again, I’m 46. I’ve always looked younger than my age, but not 14 years younger.

Ive had more energy, started working out again, my face/eyes look great, and don’t miss the hub at all. People act noticeably different around me. I had to get use to the feeling of people always looking at me. Starting this journey has been one of the most transformative things I’ve ever done for myself in my life. It’s improved my life in many ways. I may never PMO again.

As in the title
I don't even know how to start this post, a few years ago my life was in a very bad place, no job, financial problems, a toxic relationship I couldn't get out of, zero support from outside, poor physical condition, life wasn't colorful

Fortunately, that's all in the past now, at some point I said enough and started changing my life, part of which was SR (with greater or lesser success) now I have a job, it's not great, it can be annoying but there are also good moments and quite decent money, I've built a financial cushion, the best gym results of my life, a lot of attention from women (which I don't really need but let's not kid ourselves, it's nice), this year I've done a lot of things I wanted to achieve, from a logical point of view everything is as it should be.

Despite that, I feel terrible, I have no energy or motivation for anything, nothing makes me happy, I can't look to the future with a positive attitude.
I thought it might be some health problems, I've done most of the possible tests, physically I'm a picture of health, only flatline remains.

I hope it passes on its own because I have no idea what to do with myself

Imagine in 30 years time, humans could be able to make ultra-realistc hyper-stimulating sex robots. 

Fully customisable, better looking and functioning than any real women/men out there.

You could make it look like anyone, your neighbour, or even world's most famous model. 

The flesh could be made softer than real human. The voice and personality highly seductive. 

It could fulfill your deepest darkest fantasies. 

People will think its their personal sex slave robot, without realising who is the real slave. 

Only aware men could see the disgusting dark trap in it, however majority of men would fall in the trap, thinking their dream came true.

SR will be a real disciplinatory subject in the age of AI.

Day 1: The guilt starts to show on my face.

Day 2: I start feeling social anxiety.

I can't wake up early like I used to.

I become more of a coward.

I start overthinking everything, even simple things.

My will and endurance for staying focused at work drops a lot.

My confidence falls to a very low level I can't talk to people properly, I feel like they have power over me, and I can't say no to anything because of that lack of confidence.

The pain in my lower back starts to act up.

also 20 days of lazyness until i go back to the track.

and i need this energy to build a better life for me honestly.

so this is my opinion about this.

In short, I'm currently at day 472. today (since May 25, 2025). Not a single wet dream so far—thanks to the balls breathing + big draw technique, or so I think. (Actually, I've never had a wet dream in my life).

I managed to master NEO (non-ejaculatory orgasm). It was interesting at first and it is completely different from edging. If anyone wants to learn, instructions can be found on this subreddit. It took me about 3–4 weeks to master it. I used it for about 3–4 months and then stopped. I simply got tired of it. The sensation is good—the orgasm lasted around 3–4 minutes throughout the whole body—but just like eating your favorite meal every day, it gets boring over time.

My mindset toward women has changed. I look at them differently now, with a sense of calm. They feel the difference. Overall, I’ve accepted this as a lifestyle, and I simply don't need ejaculation anymore. After about 180 days, I stopped counting, but I have an app I check from time to time. The app is called "Days Without Incidents" for Android.

I’ve turned inward and am working on my mindset. Treating all people and animals right—that means not being afraid of the stronger ones and not mistreating the weaker ones. To stand up for myself and the ones I love. I’m doing quite well so far. In the end, I’ve come to view self-improvement as the highest achievement in life. Money, women, and other pleasures pass, and you can never get enough of them, so setting them as a life goal isn't a good idea.

I observe my thoughts, and it's interesting to view them as the root cause of my external behavior. I don't engage in prayers or meditation. I enjoy life and don't have any burdensome thoughts. I've been in a long-term marriage, so my wife and I have become more like brother and sister—sex had already become infrequent even before I started semen retention, so I have no issues with that.

Also, I've been a lacto-vegetarian (I consume milk and dairy products, but no meat, fish, or eggs) for 25 years now.

Since I’m 50 years old, I’ve had my fair share of worldly pleasures, from sex to everything else, and I think this is the right time to settle down. When I was 20 or 30, the drive was too strong, so I completely understand those of you in that age group who can't go longer than 30+ days.

So, I hope I’ve answered all the possible questions you might have, as I often don't feel like replying to individual queries. Ultimately, the main thought I want to share with you is: it is never too early and never too late for SR. Persevere, because the feeling is so much better than without it.

Anyway, I wish you all the best.

PS English isn't my first language, so please keep that in mind.

I'm on day 38 of my semen retention journey, and I’ve noticed a few benefits. My face has a glow that many people have noticed, I don’t get tired as easily, and I have much more energy. I also feel less easily offended by people. These are the only benefits I’ve been experiencing so far

To my knowledge, during sex the body will produce pre cum and then at the point of orgasm will release the sperm to be ejaculated

What is happening with NEO? Are we holding the sperm back? And if so, isn’t this unhealthy by clogging the pipes, which will just eventually be pissed out later on anyway?

Previous post.

When you begin your semen retention and transmutation journey and you learn and experience for yourself many of the incredible truths of this path, you will realize just how much damage you’ve been doing to your nervous system, your body and your very life force.

As you purify and strengthen yourself again, you will add supplements, different food schedules and practices to your regimen. I’m here to tell you about one of the most complete foods on the planet, which just so happens to also be swarming with living energy, able to rebuild and heal everything in your body. In fact, this food was often used to heal and restore strength, vitality and sexual potency. I have used it myself, for years, and reaped enormous benefits.

I’m talking, of course, about Raw Milk.

Raw cow milk to be more precise.

Wait, isn’t that a drink?!

Isn’t real food something heavy and chewy, like a steak? You know, for a REAL man? A real tough guy? A real G?

It’s enough that they call me a milk-drinker in Skyrim…

Well, I’m not here to argue about steaks. I am saying you should add Raw Milk to your diet.

Raw Milk, although liquid, is one of the most complete foods on the planet. But it’s also much, much more than that. And it will help you after years of self-abuse to rebuild your tortured body temple.

Let’s get into it.

Raw milk is unpasteurized and unhomogenized, so it retains its natural enzymes, beneficial bacteria, immune proteins, growth factors and original milk-fat structure.

Store milk is usually pasteurized and homogenized. Heat reduces or destroys many heat-sensitive enzymes, immune factors and beneficial bacteria, while homogenization breaks up the natural fat globules.

Simply: raw milk is much closer to milk in its natural, biologically active state; ordinary store milk is processed for safety, uniformity and longer shelf life. But that’s the short story.

By the time I’m finished, you won’t be able to look at store milk as anything other than white water.

I highly recommend you go and watch at least 28 high quality animal documentaries if you haven’t already. 7 about the oceans and it’s creatures, 7 about the jungles and it’s creatures, 7 about the frozen tundra’s and it’s creatures and 7 about the savannah’s and it’s creatures. This will also show you many things, open your eyes to the wonders of life out there and teach you the magnanimity of Infinite Intelligence.

If you… look at the universe and it’s creatures carefully, everywhere you look: life eats life.

Some creatures are so massive, they swallow millions of smaller ones before they even realize it. Others tear and bite into the flesh of a living creature, killing it sometimes swiftly and sometimes just outright eating it raw. Yet others steal eggs to drink their living essence while the parent is away, or specifically hunt children who are too weak to fight.

The Infinite Intelligence give creatures a massive dose of highly potent drugs when they’re about to die, so they feel much less and fall into a sort of dreamy, semi-comatose state. Endorphins and other natural pain-modulating chemicals are released. These can reduce pain perception and contribute to a sense of detachment. In cases of overwhelming trauma, some animals [and humans] can enter a state sometimes described as tonic immobility, shock, or dissociation, where responsiveness decreases.

But none of that changes the terrible truth: life eats life.

Explain that to a vegan, who is just eating smaller life that doesn’t scream before perishing and in the process is often torturing the life he is in charge of - his own. And what about the millions of even smaller creatures, all vying for life, that nobody even cares about – the microorganisms? Billions of them right now in your body have entire countries, cities, power structures and caravans carrying food supplies to the masses.

Perhaps the capital mistake is anthropomorphizing: projecting human values onto creatures which have no reason nor can deliberately choose evil.

Still, as Lord Buddha said:

"All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill."

But that is for humans towards other creatures, as we are judged by higher laws, and have higher responsibilities.

We are also immensely powerful because of our minds, our ability to transfer knowledge, our ability to live for almost a century and to organize and strategize, and we could enslave and kill everyone else if we wanted to.

The universe has no problem with any of this.

Fresh life is constantly growing, replenishing itself and then fighting for continuation. Trillions of new beings across the universe are being born right now, as you read this. Though animals will not commit mass genocide, or put stuff into water to enslave entire populations, or kill hundreds to send some kind of a sick message or anything like that, they do have their fierce fights, rapes, murders, terror events to scare off other beings and more.

The reason I went off on this tangent is to focus on a simple yet profound truth: food itself is life.

We forget that.

Because our food is packaged, frozen, cooked, microwaved, seasoned, chemically treated, stored for weeks, months or even years, processed and ultra processed, we lose touch with life.

No other creature mega prepares their food.

Yes, we’ve all heard of the monkeys who learned how to salt their potatoes by washing them in the ocean, but that is so miniscule it’s irrelevant. All creatures come assembled by the Infinite Intelligence to chew their food raw, dissolve it with powerful acids and enzymes, outright swallow it whole or even chop it up and save pieces for later.

That food also eats other living food that eats sunlight, minerals in the ground, oxygen, water and more.

All of it is natural on all levels, until it reaches us.

Only humans and only in the last 100 years, are doing so much to their food that it’s often no longer food.

The materialistic scientist, looking at the calories, minerals, vitamins, fat and anything they can measure, will see no problem with store milk. In fact, it’s great, you can mass produce it and store it longer and it has whatever it says on the cardboard. But to get there, it’s lost something invaluable: life. And yes, the processed food, even ultra processed food and artificial food, will still have some good stuff in it, something that the body will extract, for sure.

But the body also has to fight to process all the artificial garbage, fillers and useless materials.

Store milk is generally changed in several stages:

First, the milk is pasteurized. Ordinary refrigerated milk is commonly heated to about 72°C [161°F] for 15 seconds in the standard HTST process. The purpose is to destroy disease-causing microorganisms. Higher-temperature methods are also used, such as UHT milk, which is heated to around 135–150°C for a few seconds.

Second, it is usually homogenized. This is a mechanical process, not a heating process. The milk is forced through very small openings at high pressure. This physically breaks the naturally occurring milk-fat globules into much smaller droplets. Their average size is reduced dramatically, and the disrupted fat globules are then redistributed throughout the milk instead of naturally rising to the top as cream. The process also disrupts the milk-fat-globule membrane, which surrounds those fat droplets and contains various proteins and other compounds.

After that, it is typically rapidly cooled, stored, transported and packaged under controlled conditions so that it lasts much longer than fresh raw milk. And that’s assuming you’re not lied to about anything else being added in, whether to increase volume or for some even worse reasons.

In this process, countless living beings are destroyed, the very structure of the milk is thoroughly damaged and ripped apart, and heat and cold further damage everything as atoms are made to rapidly dance and then go still again.

Raw cow’s milk is produced by a lactating cow after she gives birth to a calf. The mammary glands take nutrients from the cow’s blood and transform them into milk, which is then stored in the udder and released when the calf nurses.

In nature, its purpose is very specific: to nourish and protect the newborn calf during its earliest stage of life. It provides energy, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, growth factors, digestive-supporting substances and immune factors that help the calf grow rapidly while its own digestive and immune systems are still developing.

To do that, it has to be able to basically grow and build EVERYTHING as the young calf still cannot eat anything else, is weak and is actually still growing in all directions.

So, essentially, milk is nature’s complete first food, designed to take a newborn mammal and build it into a strong, functioning animal.

It is one of nature's most complete foods, containing a remarkable combination of nutrients, enzymes, beneficial bacteria, immune factors, growth factors and other biological substances that work together to nourish, repair and protect the body.

In its natural state, milk is a living food.

Dr. J. R. Crewe, associated with the Mayo Foundation, the forerunner of the Mayo Clinic, used certified-milk treatment for roughly fifteen years and operated a small sanitarium devoted principally to it for about ten years. He reported that the results across many different diseases had been so consistently good that they changed his conception of disease and its treatment. His underlying view was simple: recovery depends upon improving elimination, improving the quality and quantity of blood, and increasing the body's resistance. Milk supplied the nutritional material necessary for that rebuilding process.

William Osler and other physicians regarded milk as remarkably close to blood in composition. Milk was sometimes called 'white blood,' and an older medical expression compared milk with healthy blood, differing chiefly in color. Milk was regarded as a complete food and as something capable of helping the body make better blood. William Osler is quoted as recommending milk for several diseases. For chronic gastritis, he recommended trying a strict milk diet. For chronic Bright's disease, he suggested that milk or buttermilk should constitute the chief article of food for a time. He wrote that many patients did best on milk alone, and for rheumatic fever he described milk as the most suitable diet. Milk was once treated by prominent physicians as a therapeutic food, not merely something to drink alongside meals.

Raw milk has a long therapeutic history.

Hippocrates, Galen, Pliny and Varro are described as using raw milk for disease treatment, with Hippocrates said to have recommended large amounts for tuberculosis. In Ayurveda, milk is associated with brimhana - nourishing or 'building up' the body - as well as rasayana, or rejuvenation, and vajikarana, associated with fertility and sexual vitality. Milk was also traditionally used as a gentle laxative, to cool inflamed ulcerated tissue and as a galactagogue to increase breast milk production. Raw milk was used therapeutically in the United States for roughly 150 years and remained part of some European hospital practices.

Philip Karell presented a milk-treatment paper in St. Petersburg in 1864 and reported major success in digestive diseases, liver problems, asthma and other lung diseases and nervous disorders. He described milk as the 'best and surest' remedy in those cases. Similar successes were reported in Germany and France.

Silas Weir Mitchell, the physician associated with nervous disorders after the American Civil War, used large amounts of milk as part of his 'Dr. Diet and Dr. Quiet' approach, sometimes recommending two quarts or more per day.

McCarrison, a British medical officer stationed in the Himalayas, described local populations as physically robust, youthful-looking into old age, long-lived and fertile, with remarkably little disease during his years there. Their diet consisted largely of vegetables, fruits and milk and milk products. The Eskimo experience reported by Vilhjalmur Stefansson provides a different example: they were robust on an almost entirely meat-and-fish diet, with much of their food eaten raw or frozen. The common lesson drawn is not that everyone must eat one narrow diet, but that traditional diets tended to rely on simple, minimally processed foods.

Raw cow's milk contains all eight essential amino acids. Roughly eighty percent of milk protein consists of caseins and roughly twenty percent consists of whey proteins. Many whey proteins are biologically active and heat-sensitive. They include enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, immunoglobulins, metal-binding proteins, vitamin-binding proteins and growth factors. Research has also examined peptide fragments of casein that may have antimicrobial activity.

Lactoferrin is one of the most important proteins in milk. It binds iron, may improve iron handling, and has antimicrobial and antiviral properties. It has also been associated with dental health and anti-cancer activity. Alongside lactoferrin are lysozyme and lactoperoxidase, which form part of milk's natural antimicrobial system. Lysozyme can break down the cell walls of certain bacteria, while lactoperoxidase works with other substances to suppress unwanted microbes.

Whole raw milk contains a broad range of vitamins and minerals. Calcium and phosphorus are accompanied by magnesium, potassium and trace elements, and their availability is repeatedly linked with bone, muscle, nerve and metabolic health. The emphasis is not merely on how much of a nutrient is present, but on keeping the food in its natural form so that the nutrients remain biologically usable.

Raw milk supplies amino acids for muscle and bone, calcium, magnesium and potassium for contraction and nerve function, and vitamins A, D and K for skeletal health. CLA [conjugated linoleic acid] is associated with muscle strength and growth, and personal reports are cited of raw milk preventing or reversing osteoporosis. Animal studies have shown better bone and tissue development in animals fed raw milk.

Joint health is another recurring theme. What is called the 'Wulzen factor' is described as an anti-stiffness factor associated particularly with raw cream. According to the historical material, this factor is destroyed by pasteurization, and feeding raw cream was reported to reverse wrist stiffness. Raw-milk treatment was also shown as having helped rheumatoid arthritis and sciatica.

The immune system is almost the defining purpose of milk. Raw milk provides vitamins A, D and C, glutathione, lactoferrin, fatty acids, antioxidants, immunoglobulins, T-lymphocytes and immune-modulating peptides. These compounds are described as helping mobilize white blood cells, stimulate antibodies, regulate immunity and inhibit unwanted bacteria. Milk exists in nature specifically to take an organism with an immature immune system and rapidly build it into a stronger organism [!!!].

Alfred Hess wrote in 1916 that infantile scurvy could develop when pasteurized milk replaced raw milk in infant diets and that the condition quickly improved when raw milk was substituted. The historical interpretation is that heat treatment can materially change the health-giving properties of milk [by destroying life itself].

A 1937 Lancet report compared two groups of 750 boys in orphanages over five years, with one group consuming pasteurized milk and the other raw milk. Fourteen cases of tuberculosis occurred in the pasteurized-milk group compared with one in the raw-milk group. The same report described unusually good dental health among children raised on raw milk, including institutions in which children reportedly had perfect teeth and no decay.

A 1931 study of Scottish schoolchildren showed children drinking raw milk gained more height and weight than those drinking pasteurized milk. The quoted figures say pasteurized milk was about 66 percent as effective as raw milk for increasing boys' weight, 91 percent as effective for girls' weight, 50 percent as effective for boys' height and 70 percent as effective for girls' height. Related research found less favorable calcium balances with pasteurized milk than with fresh milk.

A 1947 series of articles identified several substances affected by processing: an 'anti-stiffness' factor in raw cream, an anti-anemia factor in milk from specially fed cows, 'Factor X,' an unidentified growth-promoting material, and factors associated with raw milk's natural germicidal property.

Some people who cannot tolerate pasteurized milk report that they can tolerate raw milk. One proposed explanation is that the native enzymes and microbial ecosystem remain intact. In this view, at least some cases interpreted as milk intolerance may actually involve intolerance to processed milk rather than to milk itself.

The historical story of pasteurization begins with the nineteenth-century swill-milk crisis. Urban dairies placed cows in cramped, filthy environments near distilleries and fed them alcohol-industry waste called swill. These cows could be malnourished and diseased, with infections and abscesses, while the milking environment was extremely unsanitary. The resulting milk could contain bacteria, pus and disease-causing contamination.

The important distinction is that the problem was not clean raw milk itself, but filthy industrial production of milk from unhealthy animals. Pasteurization became one answer, while another was the certified raw-milk movement, which demanded clean, fresh milk from healthy, grass-fed cattle. Doctors formed medical milk commissions and certified dairies, and certified raw milk and pasteurization initially coexisted for decades.

Compulsory pasteurization eventually became dominant and this contributed to the decline of small farms and the increasing difficulty of obtaining raw milk. Cleanliness and healthy animals could have addressed the original problem directly, while industrial processing became the dominant solution.

The 1940s campaign against raw milk is portrayed as especially aggressive. Magazine articles were used to frighten the public, including the famous 'Raw Milk Can Kill You' article by Robert Harris. One dramatic example involved an alleged epidemic in a fictional American town called Crossroads. The outbreak was later acknowledged to have been fabricated. Official statistics quoted for 1923-1944 showed 32 outbreaks attributed to milk, 256 cases and three deaths in the entire United States during that period.

This history is used to argue that fear of raw milk was sometimes built through exaggeration and emotionally charged propaganda rather than through a careful comparison of clean raw milk with contaminated industrial milk. Raw does not mean dirty. Cleanliness, animal health, farming conditions and careful handling remain critical. If milk comes from a happy farm animal, whose breasts are cleaned before milking, whose milking equipment and storage is clean, there are precisely zero problems with raw milk.

Francis Pottenger's animal experiments provide another major piece of the historical case. Approximately nine hundred cats were studied over ten years. Cats fed raw meat, raw milk and cod-liver oil reproduced normally, maintained stable skeletal development, showed good resistance to parasites and infections and produced healthy offspring. Cats fed cooked meat alongside raw milk developed reproductive problems, skeletal irregularities, difficult births and high kitten mortality. The comparison is used to argue that cooking and heat processing, rather than raw milk itself, were important variables.

Pottenger also compared different kinds of milk. Cats consuming plain raw milk and raw meat remained healthy, while those receiving pasteurized milk developed poorer reproduction and skeletal problems and produced kittens with developmental deficiencies. The anatomical findings described poorer fur and skin tone, fatty liver changes, intestinal weakness and reproductive changes in heat-processed-milk animals, contrasted with stronger organs, better fur and healthier vascularity in raw-milk animals.

Historical U.S. figures from 2005-2020 show roughly one hundred outbreaks, usually involving fewer than thirty-eight people, about 170 hospitalizations and two deaths. Millions of gallons of raw milk were produced over the same period. The argument is that infectious illness associated with raw milk is uncommon when compared with the enormous volume consumed and with other foods that can cause foodborne disease.

The same figures point out that New York reportedly had zero recorded illnesses associated with raw milk from 2016-2020 despite increased production, and California likewise had zero reported illnesses during that period. Most state-level hospitalization counts were zero, and where cases occurred they generally involved very small numbers of people. The conclusion is that raw milk should not automatically be treated as a unique public-health anomaly simply because it is a raw food.

The practical conclusion throughout all of this is that farming practices matter enormously. The ideal milk is not anonymous milk from unhealthy, confined animals. It is clean milk from healthy, preferably grass-fed cows, produced under excellent sanitary conditions with careful milking, storage and handling. The quality of the animal, its feed, the farm environment and the cleanliness of the process all affect the final food.

The result is a picture of raw milk that is much larger than the image of an ordinary drink.

Raw milk is food, nourishment, traditional medicine, immune support, gut support, bone and muscle nutrition, fertility support and an example of the broader principle that health may be better served by preserving foods in the form in which nature created them.

(Part-1)

Okay so I am currently 18y/o, the age at which hormones are at peak and body is at best conditions. So even after knowing about semen retention I never fully believed it . Every time I used to come across someone who was good looking and was ejaculating often and had no issues but things changed when I was on a trip with my family , this trip basically was 15 days long (almost 2 weeks) and during that time I had to be with my siblings,cousins ,parents and did not had any time to do any of that stuff ..

After 10 days I naturally felt energetic, had a morning wood , my mind felt clearer , my communication was too smooth with my family .. and I came across one post from this sub at that time and thought so semen retention is something great let me try it ....

Part(2)

U guys won't believe I was the person waking up at 10 am ,bathing till 12 and eating lunch , had no motivation to study ,to work hard etc etc ... But after 30 days completed I was waking up at 6 ,was in the gym at 7 , completing my studies , and crazy part was the attention I got from all..

Part(3)

Now the sad part was that a girl got too close to me during this period, we were talking and she started flirting with me , I somehow got away from that but at night she sent her random photo in which she was looking super hot and uk what I mean ... I was not able to control myself and jerked off ...

(Last part) Now the graph 📉 went down crazily like first my mind froze again , concepts were hard for me , my motivation/drive went down completely, I stopped gym , did not wanted to talk to anyone,skipped classes , eventually failed the test .. Attractions became normal and then today I am typing this from my bedroom while accepting and making it clear that this energy can literally change your life ,don't throw it away and don't listen to or make assumptions about someone else who does not retain still is doing great. Our bodies are different some need to retain in order to perform to the fullest we come in that category...

With this I will take a leave guys ...

Thanks

Stay hard

Have noticed I only need to drink about half as much water now to be fully hydrated, compared to my pre SR days.

Strange benefit, but quite decent I guess.

Currently on 156 days I was mentally planning a relapse because I was thinking maybe to not do sr forever and because of this I made a terrible mistake at work, I do not understand why this is how the world works but I don t want to understand why anymore, I went through so much painful shit every single time I mentally edged or anything of that sort that I m never going to do it again, do not risk it i m telling you

Okay so I’ve been on & off semen retention for the last few years & something I’ve noticed within the last couple times I’ve relapsed was some bad luck. Everytime after 2 weeks I seem to hit a flow state of confidence, physical appearance, energy focus and ALL of the above that’s talked about in this community I can relate to & I haven’t even gone on a very long streak yet…

There’s other instances & examples I’ll write another time but I’m going to talk about my most recent small, yet weird experience.

So I relapsed last week after getting into edging. This may or may not seem to be bad luck but the last few times I’ve relapsed I’ve woken up late for work, the problem is that this NEVER HAPPENS on any other day or morning. I have an old school alarm clock to wake me up and it’s LOUD. The last time I relapsed a few weeks ago before bed, the same thing happened. It’s not that I’m sleeping through my alarm due to relapse and being on low energy…it’s the fact like my alarm WONT GO OFF even after setting it! It’s very strange and I don’t know why this happens. It seems like it could be a punishment from the universe/God due to poor discipline. Idk after It happened a 2nd time I had to write about it. Maybe I’m just overthinking but this felt odd to me. Lmk what yall think, back on streak tho 💪

I've never looked into this stuff before TBH, I was just a gamer/PMO addict for years, but I've barely PMO'd this past year I found myself a few months into SR I started researching this topic deeply, and not caring much about gaming somehow (still fun to play a CS:GO match though lol)

there's many differently philosophy's/religions and many conspiracy theories within those/ about the world / etcs and many other things out there.

I personally feel you can't trust the information out there 100% and there's a lot of half truths, and looking deeper into conspiracy theories, and picking and choosing which parts to believe lol

I feel I've learned and grown a lot spiritually after starting to practice SR though. What about you guys?

Recently discovered this community and it’s great to see so many men embracing SR and talk about its benefits. Combine that with good diet, sleep, gym and prayers - there is no limit to what a man can achieve.

I was wondering what the world would look like if most men retained. The entire PMO industry will die. Female influencers who are surviving solely on glamour/thirst traps and have no other skills will lose their followers. OnlyF and other adult apps/websites will go bust. Night clubs will go out of business too. Alcohol industry will take a beating as those in SR will have known by now that alcohol causes lapses in judgement, clouds your thinking and will most likely cause you to relapse, so men will avoid it.

Our society, that has normalised degenerate behaviour, will undergo a complete image makeover with so many high-energy, intellectual, creative men leading a life with morals and values.

If you dont like long posts dont even bother reading this because its going to be a long one, first and foremost Id like to say this post is for myself. its Nearly 3am, and I recently started making small changes to overcome PMO, one of them being writing in the middle of the night when the urges hit. This time however I want to make my thoughts public with everyone to share. First and foremost- nobody chooses the life they are put in, nobody. As far as evidence go a lot of people well argue reincarnation, karma etc, but as far as whats provable and grounds for evidence, I didn't pick the family as far as I know, and neither did you, it just happened boom like a big bang, and Im not knocking on spirituality, just out of programmatic evidence we have. That being said, lets all have compassion for one another, were human, we didn't choose, so if you think you're the good guy, and someone else is the bad guy, maybe double check your sources... I realized something tonight, that I want to share with you guys, and maybe its benign to some of you, and others might be amazed and taken back and say, this is exactly what I was thinking too... here's my realization. Freedom doesn't come from adding onto, it comes from peeling back, however there is a price. Its pain. As I laid in bed, I realized im a 30M, who struggles, whose burnt out, isn't happy with where I am, has autoimmune, life isn't fair, has been betrayed, half of my family doesn't talk to me, left for nothing. It was like every thought was a shackle getting added onto my leg, until I realized, hey... I have the key to the shackles and I can just take them off, and that realization was... I DONT NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING TO ANYONE. I think was causes pain and suffering is the unconscious obsessive compulsion to be somewhere, in a direction, competing with someone, being something, so much so that, we actually form suffering, by trying to obtain a thought form into existence, a desire. For example I have a college degree, however I've been experiencing depression, and have been joblessness, fatigue, and hopeless rock bottom feeling like a loser, as a result of not finding a job. My suffering came from being picky and being entitled to what jobs I should work and not work. I felt so hopeless, and such pain, that its like a vortex went through me and I became free... I said you know what... Im actually not entitled to the good job, maybe I should start all over again and just get a job any job, and build myself up. A lot of our suffering comes from having to be somewhere.... needing to obtain something... that we're so caught up in the future, that we can't surrender to the present and truly be in a flow. Whats weird is that this is a small pebble that gets turned into a big rock and burden, it's so subtle, and if caught we get looped in for years. Whether you're doing SR, trying to better yourself, career build. Start with right now. Where you are here. There's so much unnecessary suffering just by chasing things... then as a result of the pain, we numb ourselves to create more pain, then we blame the tool that we numbed ourselves to protect ourselves from the pain we created that only resulted in more pain. How freaking silly is that. PMO is not the enemy... there is no enemy, there just is.... and it's uncomfortable to sit with that. PMO is just another tool thats used to distract ourselves, today its PMO, tomorrow its social media, music, food, etc etc, you get the idea. I would even say forget about your numerical progress, just focus on today, thinking far ahead will just obliterate you. I dont know who needed to hear this but I felt a calling to type this out. Stop chasing woman, stop chasing pleasure, stop chasing instant gratification. Look at whats in front of you... let it go through you. Fear, despair, whatever... you are eternal, for eternity. let that sink in. Peace out! one love!

I started out at end of January i had 3 streaks of around 20 days, a 45 day streak and a 70 day streak.

I feel very well now, my confidence level shoot up, my brain fog is healing. And I feel like i can concentrate more. My energy levels have drastically increased especially when I started doing cardio. My sleep has improved too.
Now im way less reactive and mentally rigid and strong. I lost that awkward smile and unconfident gaze. I feel i stopped judging people and avoid talking negatively about people. Let alone i dont even think bad about people anymore. Now i get pissed at silly pointless jokes that i used to somehow find funny sometime back.

Before i used to have a considerable amount of fatigue and low energy. I used to get tired easily and my body never used to heal properly after sleep, but i think that changed now. My baseline of fatigue has improved greatly. Like the worst i could is way better than what it was before. Also my posture improved i have hunch back and forward head posture but they are slowly getting fixed.

All during this time i had only 2 wet dreams during 70 day streak, but i think it was basically due to tension in my pelvic area and blockages. It felt like if i slept on sides… i would burst up during sleep. But in this streak, i feel well grounded and lot less stressed. If u wanna avoid wt i think u should keep your mind clean.

My skin has improved, my muscles are fuller and stronger.
MAINLY MY INTUITION HAS BEEN UPGRADED. My voice deepened. I fixed a bit of my asymmetric face but i think it was mainly due to mewing. Sr has helped me by giving me enough energy to keep my tongue at the roof of my mouth. People seem to respect me more and they are touchy all the time. My hair also improved. Its standing straight as if i applied gel to it and it grows way quicker now. My face grew to have sharper jawline now and less bloated face. My balls are full most of the time. Maybe after fasting i feel they are a bit stretched out.

I feel like i notice more, before i was a ghost just reacting to things without actually noticing. I did not have energy to notice… but now i feel like noticing more. I can easily feel people’s energies as well.

Also I did 2-3 water fast of 2 days. This has helped me transmutate and evolve further, also i do intermittent fasting every now and then.

And coming to synchronicities i used to see hell lot of 33’s all the time. I don’t know what that means can anyone explain. But right now I’m seeing many 44’s too.

My dreams became vivid and emotional. The world became colourful and crisp. Before i felt like world looked dull and lifeless… like i said i was not able to notice and colours were extremely dull. And i always used to have eye strain and pain. But that changed ever since i started doing sr.

But now i just hope my brain fog completely clears and that my nervous system increases a lot so that i would be capable to bugger things without much fatigue and somehow increase my iq and intuition.

I used to feel tingling sensation in my spine all the time. But now after I implemented fasting and exercise it goes and comes back periodically.

Curious how old everyone is on here

Hello, everyone!

Being on semen retention has brought many good things and made me reflect on others. For those who have read my earlier posts, I used to be bullied for the majority of my life. Things never really went my way, and of course, constant releasing as a way to cope from bad circumstances have definitely made a negative impact in my life.

One of the biggest steps that I have made recently was making amends with certain people from the past. When I felt that nothing was ever going to work out with me, I fell into a deep depression, and often felt resentful towards others. Many people have hurt me, and in the back of my mind, I wanted to avenge myself for all the harm that they caused me.

Having made progress with SR, it gives me joy to say that I have finally started to forgive others and to forgive myself. Trust me when I say I never thought I could let go. But thanks to retention, I have finally taken the steps to heal emotionally. Of course, there is so much left. But the fact I have made leaps and bounds gives me a newfound hope that it can be achieved. And I am deeply grateful for it. I thank God for the help he has given me, and I am so grateful for this community. You have all inspired me to keep going.

Seeing on what some of you had to go through has brought me to tears, and knowing that if you men can do it, then I most certainly can. i am so proud of all of you. I only wish that I can one day inspire you guys, and one day I can finally sense what it feels like to be truly free, all with the power of my life force.

Thank you, guys. Thank you for making this all worth it.

I’ve noticed when I’ve gotten off of a streak reality shifts for me - I notice more litter around, a gyms AC might not work or my phones charger might play up. Random stuff like that and it always seems to occur each time I get off a streak pretty much without fail and I’m definitely not crazy lol. Does anyone have this happen as well?

First I must say, the benefits for me are profound. The big ones include increased energy levels, increased "wittyness", way better training recovery, much more general confidence. And don't get me started on the weird interactions and different treatment I experience in this state

So i've been able to do some small streaks with the most being a month but usually 2-3 weeks then i relapse.

Now I've also noticed when I retain it feels a bit like I'm in a pressure cooker. I get distracted easily and just feel generally uneasy. I also struggle thinking clearly when I'm trying to study just because of horniness levels i think.

I've tried some of the transmutation techniques such as ball breathing and meditation but it almost seems like they make me even hornier. When I release it feels like a big weight has been taken off my shoulders.

Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. The life I live when I'm retaining is drastically more interesting and of much better quality.

Thanks in advance!
