      How does semen retention jive with a healthy and regular "healthy” sexual lifestyle of a single man? It would seem that semen retention promotes a committed and more serious relationship where promiscuity is not an option because it would be counterproductive … How does this choice jives with establishing a romantic and committed relationship where sexual intimacy is involved?

    I’m a week over 60 days. I feel the best I’ve ever felt about myself. I still have bad days but I’m more aware and just learn to accept them. I had 2 slips, I pmo’d but got straight back into nopmo. It’s all about how you react on you minor lapses and get back into retention. Don’t ever think “ I relapsed, now I can go on a binge”. Meditate, forgive yourself and continue, do not restart. You’re progress isn’t lost. You just had a setback. Trust me it gets easier, with every time you continue to start again.

      100 percent. most will relapse and its all about how you handle it, get straight back up. if you are relapsing try to stay conscious about it, its hard because pmo is a unconcious act. sometimes you need to drink the poison to remind you why you want to be disciplined

    I think it's important to stress the importance of NOT WASTE your retention time, especially after a few months. For years I've been going back and forth on semen retention, and I think this has to do with my lack of initiative to take a step beyond the positive feelings and sensations of the first few months of retention.
    Many times I followed this same path: I start nofap at a peak of motivation; I feel great for the first few weeks; after a while I get impatient and I no longer see the results in my conscience; until I relap and throw it all away.
    So what I mean is: DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR ENERGY! When you feel energized, calm, motivated....this is the right time to take initiative and do something to change your life significantly and stay motivated on the journey; whether starting a relationship, looking for a better job, starting a project, moving to another city, starting a more radical change of habits.....SOMETHING! The results don't come by themselves, if you keep waiting, the motivation flame will go out and you'll go back to where you came from.

      this is why i think semen retention is some kind of self enslavement.. your body tells you what to do, but you say no.. you are working against your body, you are trying to beat nature.. and this cant be good for you.. im sure there is a good reason a male body needs to release semen from time to time.. just like there is a good reason women get their period and release blood, its not going to hurt you.

      This is definitely what happens. When the dopamine levels are inflated due to watching porn, which effects last longer than cocaine, the brain do not see a reason to notice the smaller boosts of dopamine. Of course it's not just porn, but that's just an easy and common example.
      Indeed, as you said yourself, once you let your brain reach a normal state of dopamine, it will be able to notice these smaller boosts.

      Seriously though but the reason why I think guys get prideful in that stage is because woman love prideful men and I know you guys might disagree with me but there's this one study I saw where they had woman look at men with different expressions and which expressions they liked and there was 4 expressions (Happy/shame/pride/neutral) and the ranking was neutral took the first place pride took the second shame was the third and happy was the last so what I'm saying is that maybe the reason guys get prideful and cocky is because they know woman love prideful men at least subconsciously (mb for the long text lol)

My lifts have gone way up. My body fat is way down. My hair looks way better along with my skin. My voice is a lot more deeper and my accent has started to come back out ( I have a slight southern drawl). My face looks more defined but that might be the body fat dropping.

    I never knew of additional benefits over 30 days, 30 days is easy to do and I have done it many times. I just recently came across this topic more in depth through the Ancient Archives youtube channel, highly recommended, and now realize the massive benefits available to retainers, indeed the essential nature of retaining. I have tremendous reason in my own life to preserve my seed and thus my life force and do not expect to 'bust a nut' anytime soon, or ever again, at this point. I really like your chart Koen, it lays it all out in an easy to understand fashion and gives one expectations to look forward to.
    To those out there who need help: Throw out all your enabling toys, just toss them in the trash ASAP, get rid of your magazines and dvds, delete all your downloaded videos and you will help yourself out immensely. If it's not there it can't set you back. Good luck!

    A few days after the 40th day for me, I had a relapsed. I felt shame for it because it had been years since I ever went longer than a month. By those last days the urge was high and difficult, not easy to ignore because I felt my whole body was aware and sensitive, it almost hurt. That said, I felt more confident and alive, not sluggish and demotivated. So, its a "detoxing" process from this lusting desire in my brain.

    I myself have been addicted to porn for 14 years and i am now 26 years old. Today marks my 7 day streak on semen retention and i cant remember when i last went that long without releasing semen or watching porn. Something that has made this week fairly easy for me and already noticing some of the later benefits is that i have started replacing my bad habits with better habits such as taking a 10-20 minute walk first thing when waking up, start meditating and doing alot of research on spirituality, gaining interest and wanting to pursue that more. Removing all the triggers i could think of. Spending more time with friends & family. A new goal that i started on which is getting a motorcycle license. Also doing alot of research on semen retention and realizing how bad porn is and how good the benefits of semen retention are!
    Stay strong brothers!

    I like what you said that most men get stuck in the recovery phase and never tap into energy. What I don't like are the comments what day they are on and thinking SR needs to be indefinite. It is not about going 30 or 300 days; I feel it is about discipline to limit ejaculations. For me as a 50 year old, once per month is ideal. The problem is that many of us have that "all or none" mind so it is hard to find balance.

    The genius of it is simply in the fact that it brings all attention to an inner state. Something which has no physical evidence (because there’s no longer a nut to clean off a girl’s back or your stomach or a towel) something that only you can feel at first, no one else will even know what you’re doing unless you talk about it. Something that makes little sense without experiencing it firsthand. This is a picture of “faith in oneself.” The biggest thing about it is acknowledging that energy, and not form, is of prime importance and that your own mental focus steers the energy in all its movement.

    Great video, Koen!! Having been on this path for a long time after decades of sex addiction I can confirm whatever you've said.
    Even now, at sixty, the 'urges' do arise, & I've heard that they do well into old age. One has to accept this fact as it is indeed the basic instinct.
    Transmutation has been key, rather than suppression, which only leads to other problems. All kinds of work/creativity, being mindful about not getting bogged down in workaholism, does help. Exercise helps too.....particularly dancing, which I do regularly at the techno/psytrance parties down here in Goa, India. 🕺💃
    Grounding helps release the 'excess electrical charge' & harmonize one's energies with the Earth's electromagnetic field, & I sometimes do that with a barefoot walk along the wet sands on the beach. Yogasanas/pranayama are of great help as well, building up a good base for meditation, which helps the most.....cultivating a meditative state rather, just resting in Awareness - our essential unchanging nature, equanimously observing the changing phenomena at the physical/mental levels, without getting entangled in them, thus allowing all of the stuff arising from the deeper recesses of the mind to pass away, which it does sooner or later, rather than reacting to it, which only leads to its 'multiplying', as the Buddha put it, call it vipassana or whatever.
    And, wowwwww.....there's so much more energy, vitality, joy, serenity, freedom......!!!!!! 🧘‍♂️🧚‍♂️🤍

    This has pretty much been my exact experience, although the early stages, day 0-4 for example, don't hit me down that hard (if anything I even feel better) if I've gone at minimum 2 weeks or around 17 days without. I think the real damage is done when you have multiple ejaculations prior to hitting the power up phase between them.. at least that's how I've felt. Currently I'm trying to find the balance and I've been back and forth on what I think about it. I think not ejaculating at all is probably best, or at least extremely infrequently, perhaps once every few months. There have been times I've felt better after ejaculating after a long break, and times I haven't, so to be honest I really don't know.
    I had a major spiritual breakthrough at around exactly 90 days also, but I was doing a lot of other practices along with it at that time. I think it's absolutely vital all men get to this point at least once in their lives if nothing else.
