Semen Retention

[zack89]

To be honest, I was kind of hoping for one by now.

Weird thing is that I once quit jerking off for quite a long time trying to induce a wet-dream, but it never happened. Meanwhile, they'll just sometimes randomly happen even if I'm not abstaining.

To be honest, though, I don't even feel like nocturnal orgasms feel that great anyway, though. There's kind of a weird sort of pain to them.

I've never found them to be painful, just very messy and sometimes embarrassing to myself depending on what weird thing in the dream I just came to.

I personally don't worry too much about intrusive thoughts. I've been pretty well-tested before and haven't ever really acted on my impulses in a serious way. Though, I guess I can't say I never have. May have slashed some peoples' tires or something like that. But I have also had a naked loli standing right in front of me, practically begging me to touch her, and I restrained so I think my will is strong.

Damn, I'm sorry you had to restrain yourself. It was probably for the best, but there is always a bit of regret after making that decision.

Ditch the porn.  You'll feel better long term.  Trust me.

Probably, I've tried, and one day I will again, but for now I'm satiating my voyeuristic desire.

For anyone wanting to ditch their porn addiction I strongly recommend going over to YouTube and searching for Dr. Trish Leigh.

I'll check it out, but I already quit all porn about a week ago. I deleted my entire encrypted stash, also wiped the disk space to really make sure. It was the easiest decision to make. I'm at a point in my life where I'm ready to move on from that kind of activity. Semen retention has really helped me overcome lust and really think about what my priorities are in my daily life, certainly my girlfriend is more important than any of this, and I don't want to disappoint her by having her catch me in the act one day. I might make a separate thread that gets into more detail about this, but yeah... though I may relapse at some point, I'm pretty sure I'm done with all porn and masturbation for good.

This presumes one wants to get over lust. But I agree not being focused on that can help you move your life along in positive ways...

I didn't expect I would get to the point where I'm not thinking about sex all the time, and I don't miss it. Like I said, I might relapse one day, but I think it will be easy to recover from those moments now. Semen has not left my body for a whole month, probably the longest streak ever in my entire adult life. The effects are so subtle, but very positive, like shedding something that has been weighing me down my whole life and I wasn't able to see it.

I tryed, 5-6 days and i am incapable of dooing anything, inclooding sleep. Ho can someone hold a month is beound me.

Here's the real question: do you think those who have NEVER jerked off also experience all the aforementioned advantages, or is it only those who have already been kissed by the spirits of puberty? Because if it's the former, that's a nobel-worthy scientific discovery right there!

A guy who has never jacked off in his entire life is definitely better off than a chronic masturbator.

No chance Pro.... Not masturbating is unhealthy. Google it. In my hayday I masturbated 3650 times a year and I'm damn proud of it! Haha

[on the rocks]

Wow, 10 times a day?  Even in my prime, I'd max out at five or six.

There will always be conflicting information online when it comes to this, but imo not masturbating is the default setting. Masturbation is a habit we pick up and get addicted to as humans, much like doing drugs for a dopamine hit, and in the modern age it is very commonplace for young guys to beat their meat, and do drugs for that matter. I understand you were abused as a child and that your hypersexuality is likely a way to cope with that. That is a lot of masturbation though. Have you ever tried going a few days without? I recommend it if for nothing more than that bigger, thicker load in the end.

When I first got internet at 12, I immediately started downloading porn from p2p and probably jacked off 20 times that day. It used to be a mark of pride for me, but there is something a bit tragic about it. I should have preserved my sexual energy, worked out, and tried to attract actual girls instead. But hey... life is full of woulda done this and shoulda done that.

Thanks Zack. I was kind of kidding with the "No Chance Pro". I have tried to stop and maybe gone for 2-3 days without it. In some ways I'm like a little toddler boy who grabs his penis and walks around. Take this morning for instance, and nearly every other morning. I wake up and immediately start stoking myself. I continue to stroke as I make my coffee, etc. Then I settle down and stroke while perusing websites. The good news is, I stopped drinking, I don't smoke, I exercise 1-2 hours a day and eat healthy.

Man, you're amazing, you really are. You are so afraid of change that you give yourself testosterone, what would you do with this energy, if it stopped failing you, how would you poor you live? Can you imagine it ?

Maybe you would do amazing things. Maybe you could get rich. Change is usually beneficial, even though we are afraid of it.

Trust me - I have thought about this. I accomplished a lot in college and business even while stroking my cock senseless. I know it has taken energy away and robbed me of being more intimate. When I was a teenager to my early 20s I would also wear panties while masturbating and stare at myself in the mirror (not every time I masturbated). I would definitely get turned on looking at my own body. Some call it autoeroticism and I probably have it. I can still get turned on watching myself stroke.

I acknowledge that some have seen the benefits of refraining from masturbation, but not in my case. The longest time I tried not to masturbate was a month, and here's what I remember as the result:
- Low mood
- Lack of purpose
- More stress
- Constant and aching erections
- Get angry and impatient more easily
- More powerful body odor
- Wake up in the morning having to change my underwear
- Higher tendency to act weird around targets of attraction (thank god i'm not only attracted to children)
I just one day said fuck it and decided to nut five times in a row. Only after that would I become myself again, and some of my acquaintances even noticed how relaxed I was. I maintained the habit of nutting once a day ever since.
So as you can see, refraining from masturbation doesn't bring benefits to everyone but could even backfire. I don't force anyone to not refrain from discharge or anything, but just wanna say that you don't always need to follow the majority when it comes to a certain matter. Listen to what your body wants.
