Nofap + stoicism + gratitude + exercise + healthy food + focusing on good habits + good books (+ jurnaling/meditation/cold showers) = the recipe for becoming a better human.
YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. This is why the PORN industry should be illegal. It has completely wrecked so many millions of lives. Be thankful I'm not president. Men... this is vitally important. Just try it. You can have a little self control. The benefits are MASSIVE.
I did semen retention for 60 days and I literally had the most consecutive days of happiness I’ve ever had. I couldn’t be manipulated by women or anyone. I was just hungry for success
@@efandmk3382 For real men, when im in nofap i get so needy I would do anything for s3x, but my biggest streaks were about 2 weeks, so maybe is bc of that
@@jedoqa9313 Yes, it happened. Actual videos and things like pornhub about three times so very rarely. But otherwise lewd pictures and stuff like that. I've gotten very good at not jerking it but I'm trying to get better at cutting off access entirely to pictures etc, which is hard when its everywhere on twitter etc.
@Gerard Butler it’s as simple as not doing it, some people do push-ups, take a shower, I found waiting a little bit it the urge would go away and I wouldn’t want to anymore
I agree with all besides the physique part. I started about 4 months ago and quit cold turkey and I've gained a lot of weight. I still lay around a lot of if I get up and active again I think it would be a lot better.
105 days on semen retention. Big energy, self confidence in full, dont have social anxiety, no more fear of death, no more panic attacks and depression. Still without girlfriend but i dont care and dont need them, my life is better without girlfriend, and i dont need stress, negative energy and loss of my money.
19 months in, I’ve never been more spiritually, mentally, and physically aligned in my entire life. It’s crazy because it’s only a year and some change.
My goal are 3 Months. I had some streaks for 1 week, 2 weeks, my longest one was 4 weeks like 30 day or sum‘. And I can say that I really felt some changes and benefits like more power in the gym. So it wasn’t just placebo. It really works. However my longest run was 4 weeks. My goal now is 3 months and after I reach that I will increase in small steps! LETS GO GUYS! Let us be the best version of ourselves and level up!
@@JesusisAlive_33 i Had a 3 Month strike and Bro. I stopped counting. One of the best decisions ive Evet Made. I only broke the strokes while i got intimate. Thats it. Quiz porn almost 2 years ago. Started NoFap/Semen retention 1,5 years ago. One of the Beat decisions of my life.
“Our culture is telling you basically to spill your seed and to have tons of sex. It’s trying to take that masculine energy out of you EVERY time you turn your head” REAL TALK
@@deadcell4837 completely true. Companies don’t care about you. You are feeding off an addiction, creating business flow that is constant. They know there are a lot of people (most of us) that use their sites.
If you’re concerned about Testosterone then just workout because that’s basically one of the only natural ways to do it and it’s so much easier than trying to not bust a nut for 3 months.
I did for 33 days and i was SOO focused! Mooore energy at the gym and EVEN hit a deadlift PR of 315 lbs for one rep on my third day! My skin did feel more extra smooth than normal. I walked around with more confidence in knowing that I am worth and valued in just who I am.
@@scoopsmoo7812 retaining should naturally help with impulse/emotional control. However, the first states of retention will also bring those issues out in full force. In my experience that’s what happened. I had to manage my personal demons before I was at the end and better at both. Time, my friend. Time.
This seems to be working for me. Before I had no will or energy to do even the simplest of tasks but just after like 4 days of not y'know or so I am feeling much better and able to do things easier. Emptying or starting the washing or dishwasher is no longer a huge battle. Feels awesome! My mood is also much more stable.
Ha same here, besides now implenting daily meditation, reflection and excercise, also cleaning things up around the house (slowly but surely) get easier and easier
I am 70 years old and I have been a herosexual blue pilled incel for most of my life. About one week ago I decided to take the red pill an emark on the 90 no fap challenge and today I got a surprise when I looked in the mirror and found that all the grey hairs on my eyebrows had vanished. This along with curiosity of what else it might do to me has motivated me to stick with the challenge.
@@black8aron965 All these guys talking about quitting weed. But vaping weed on semen retention before working out or going into the forrest is amazing.
@@versatilevfitness3171 It's not about being happy, it's about feeling like a normal human being again. Some people have just a fucked up brain, and if you take them everything away (my country is in lockdown since early 2020) they lose their minds
@@awanderer9966 what are u even talking about lol I used to be a pothead I’ve experienced being reliant on it. Yes it makes u feel good but it’s temporary then before u know it, uhave to smoke before u eat or smoke before u see a movie. Do u get what I’m saying? When u stop smoking and release dopamine naturally it’s better than being high
Day 3: I'm experinced flatline right now,unmotivated Why i started Semen Renetation: -I want to obey God -I want to get a muscular body -I want to love my girl more -I want to achieve ideal productivity -I want to stop wasting my precious time.
@@joshkavanagh4516 he is right though. I didn't start masturbating until i was 20 years old and my body released semen naturally through wet dreams almost every single night. I might just be an outlier though
withdrawals were bad for me slowly going away been in semen retention over 10 months give it time to get the benefits and heal your brain but take semen retention serious and it will take you seriously
I've struggled with a porn addiction for years. Ever since I've discovered no fap and semen retention I've gotten on and off that wagon more times than I can count. This time around I am committed to doing it so I can gain the positive benefits it brings. So far I got 7 days under my belt. Stay strong fellas.
Hey Cole I just wanted to say first and foremost Thank you for everything you’re doing for the world I love your channel and I just came accompany your channel today bc I recently quit weed and have been to the hospital twice bc I thought I was dying. I just figured out who you are today and I already got nothing but love for you brother. Nothing but respect. I’ve been listening to you all day and it’s been helping my withdrawal symptoms thank you for caring for the world.
Then you are not practicing self control but rather just ignoring porn all along , that's even worse because it means if you have the Chance you would doit
I’ve lost myself badly wacking off, I became more anxious, lazy, and lost. I stoped wacking off about two weeks ago and now I becoming more aware to who I am and my confidence is slowly coming back. I’ll say this though, the temptation is the hardest part but I’ve been fighting through it because I know it will give me discipline. Now whenever I get tempted to wack off again, I say to myself “it’s not worth it”. I know this will help someone so stay strong and I love you bro.
I experienced 60 days of retention, and I felt much more energy into my body, physically and mentally. However, I was feeling much more stressed also, with everything and everyone. My mind was in an obsessed hurry for "success" and I easily lost the point of balance in my life. It was 3 years ago, since then I've been studying and practicing more about spiritual technics of sexual transmutation, it's been helpful. The reason why I was in a such stressful period with that is that I wasn't being able to deal with my sexual repressions (repression and libertinage are both sides of the same coin) and I was being incapable to simply relax and accept that sexual energy bubbling inside my body. It stopped there in my genitals and I couldn't allow it to climb up through my body. My tip is: Learn to breathe and dance with this energy, and retention will become a natural consequence. Don't react to the urge, breathe with it. Just observe and allow this energy to be there, without identification or denial.
This was me but I was only hustling because I was broke. For the last 3 years I worked almost everyday to save money. It's best when you don't chase all these material things. We need to have a work life balance
Just hit 90 days yesterday. Having a spiritual practice like Yoga, Meditation, Qi going, breathwork and tai chi to do daily is crucial to keep the urges and wet dreams at bay.
I agree with this wholeheartedly, been on my semen retention journey since Sept. 8th and the benefits are amazing. It's getting to the point to where I won't share my seed until I'm ready for children with the right woman. UPDATE 9/1/23: I can care less about meeting the 'right woman', but semen retention is still the way to go 😂👍🏾
Exactly man. When you’ve retained for quite some time you interact with a beautiful woman so differently....rather than be anxious or think about her sexually...you literally treat her just as another person/human being and she feels and appreciates this. As a guy that’s not great looking I’ve really noticed the big difference of retention. The spiritual purpose, more than anything, has really helped me personally. Peace and love. God bless.
Yo this hasn’t been easy tbh. It’s crazy how many programs are there to help men stop fapping. This generation is soft to many men getting pleasure from a website lol, props to you bro for getting through though.
I used to brush off the idea, thinking it was just another trend. But after trying it myself for 45 days, I was amazed at the clarity and energy I felt. Truly, every person's journey is different, but this was a game-changer for me. Keep pushing everyone, the rewards are worth it!
What does "literally the 1%" even mean... Why do you feel the need to stress that literally 1% are going to read your comment. You into statistics? It fascinates you how many people read a single comment? What's the point huh
Started as a new year resolutions at strt of 2021...initially few months were tough...but i controlled myself somehow... It's been more than 1.5 yrs now..the results are just mind boggling..never felt so strong and motivated ever in my life
Bro love u I’m doing the same just because I felt miserable and I’m happier than ever, my anxiety disappeared and my confidence skyrocketed. So cool ur showing people what some habits do to your life.
I retained for 2 weeks. First week was the hardest but the second week it changed my life. I relapsed and I’m sticking to this lifestyle. Unless some girls come around, retention is the best thing. It gives you soooo much more energy. Seriously.
Lol, you measure the possibility of girls coming around in weeks? That's hilarious, why are you watching this channel? I haven't had a date in almost 4 years. I've gone about a month of NoFap before and saw zero differences in my life, how I felt, my energy levels or how people reacted to me. Just the same ol' disinterest from girls and neutral reaction from guys. Keep in mind I've been a gym rat for years, so I'd definitely notice a difference in energy levels. You're doing fine man, you don't need any of this.
Don’t worry about female attention. Focus on being the best man possible physically,mentally, spiritually, and financially. Less you worry about females the better off you’ll be.
@@thechosenone7875 Easy to do for a short period of time, impossible for any length of time. In my experience anyway. Especially when you constantly see girls you'd love to be with walking around with guys who have no business being with girls of that caliber.
Day 25 hardmode 💪🏼 confidence is up, anxiety is basically gone, started to realize stuff about myself that I didnt know before, picked up new hobbies like reading and working out, I'm eating more, I always have energy and I'm clear headed all the time 💯 nofap changed my life
its been 34 days since i started my retention and its been amazing. it was an experiment tho and results uptill now are boost in self confidence, acne gone(maybe it was becuz of hormone imbalance idk), happier life all n all. most importantly i wasnt guilt eating which was great. now it feels more in control and being the man you wanted to become. every man of culture should give it a shot ;) btw im 20
@silver bullet yeah it was significantly reduced like ofc it wont go completely cuz its just normal but it used to be a frequent topic in daily life convo like everyone used to keep asking about my acne whatever. occasionally i do breakout sometimes but its ok.
Finding you channel has changed my daily choices, goals and just life in general. I have been dealing with depression and low self esteem for most of my adult life. I wish I knew about these practices 10 years ago! Just wanted to say thank you and God bless!
Cheers Cole great video I'm 53 and just going into semen retention. After watching your video I think after 90 days semen retention will give you a new energy base line so before you thought you were getting more energy and you were, but now the more energy has become your norm. Anyways great content and very inspiring 💪
Great point that after 90 days you don't notice the effects as much because it's a lifestyle now. I'm currently on Day-60 myself. However, if you were to Spill it, THAT'S when you'd definitely notice it - the fall from grace one might say. Speaking from first hand experience. Great video, man. Keep it up!
God and Covid have started a change in me. Watching this video is also helping me. I’m on day 6 and am encouraged to keep going by all of you! Thanks to all including this guy who made the video for sharing your results. I was thinking how we are in a cycle of bad habits which we chose on a daily basis. Interesting how staying pure by changing our sexual habits and restraining ourselves has so many positive benefits. Seems very religious in a good way. I still am tempted to look at porn and beautiful women and having sex with my girlfriend but am going to try to continue to follow the path you all are on so I can make positive changes in my life for myself my family and even society and especially for my relationship with God! May God give you all good strength and the discipline to keep yourselves strong and healthy mentally physically and spiritually!
@Ironnn Head it's more like a sustained and reliable energy the longer you go. You'll experience and notice the biggest difference in the beginning of your retention like you said. Staying discipline is key in getting through flatlines. I've never been this far so this is all new territory, but I'm excited to get to the next level.
Yup I’ve done no fap since the pandemic after me and my ex broke up. Ever since then I don’t have the urge to have sex, it’s incredible how u can control that, but then I went to the grocery store one day and saw a women in person and then my mini me could help but say hi.🙄
@Nathan Trujillo this video actually is some real bullshit xD its scientifically proven that masturbating / having sex is healthy. This shit hes talking about like hes got more energy and stuff is just some placebo coz hes son into it. He believes into it like a religion.
I’m at the end of day 4. Hard mode. So glad to be back on the wagon. I already feel so amazing. Not without its challenges but I’m seeing a clearer path this time. Thanks for your video bro 😎
There's absolutely nothing in this wonderful video, that I don't agree with. The only thing I have to say is "I absolutely thank the universe for allowing me to meet this channel. It completely connects with me".
I'm gonna be honest I'm here watching this after I spilt my seed about an hour ago and I was so shocked to see you went 90 days of semen retention. A few days ago I completed 22 days of semen retention and I can say it is true about feeling the better quality of life and energy and I loved that. Watching your video made me realize that 22 days is a long time but I can't forget about it and fall back on bad habits so I'm starting semen retention again and my new goal is 35 days.
@@vxctor7006 recently I've been going strong on one week semen retentions and then relapsing, but I'm working my self up to over a month because I want it to be relaxing for me, and not a day by day "oh man I hope I don't nut today" type of stress for me.
@@jaygee9390 ngl I relapsed after a week the reason being is cause I just have too much time on me I need to be way more productive, but don’t give in stay strong
I just watched this video for the second time... since 2020 and dude.. I find it amazing how cole was talking about how society its trying to take our masculinity away.. that shit was so spot on.
I got to 36 days, was going for the 90. The last month since has been one of if not the lowest in my life. My life has just felt like an exercise in futility. Watching this has inspired me to go for it again. I want what this guy has. I want to be someone. Wish me luck.
Litt yes! I feel great after just five days. I will not stop. I don’t wanna count the days, but In the beginning it’s nice to see how far you go, then after that it’ll turn into a lifestyle.
Congrats to you for trying it and for the decision to keep it going after 90 days. Being on total semen retention for 1¾ years is one of the finest experiences of my life. It's my natural lifestyle now, and I don't expect for that to change. It feels so great to be full of semen and testosterone that I don't even miss sexual release. Guys, you owe it to yourself to give this a good long try. You'll have to work up to it, but being a self-contained man is such a blessing and a privilege.
@Tian 333 Yes, I'm still on-point and will hit two years in ten days. It took me nearly five months to reach 90 days, and I fell right back into PMO. About a month later, I restarted, intending another 90. By the 60-day point, I was really into it and was excited to go much longer than 90, so I promised myself at least a year in total. In the mid part of my year, I was realizing that I could stay off porn forever; but as the year neared its end, whether I was really willing to give up masturbation for good remained an open question. The trouble with any goal of fixed duration is that it invites regression once it's reached. At the end of my promised year, I decided to just chill and see what would happen. By day 370, I felt that I had nothing left to prove, so I made a conscious decision to resume some occasional porn-free masturbation, but I've never used porn again. I found that I could choose to release when I wanted it, without feeling that I had to have it. It was a genuinely optional thing, like whether to take the freeway or not. I enjoyed giving myself orgasms again, but I soon found myself missing semen retention, so I'd also choose to enjoy occasional streaks of a few weeks or months without releasing. This alternating pattern continued for over two years, as I tried in vain to find a satisfactory middle path that would balance competing instincts. I eventually realized that I'd wanted semen retention more all along, and l was finally ready and even enthusiastic to let go of masturbation and orgasm for good. So, I psyched myself up to embrace permanent celibacy as of the end of 2018. As soon as I got my mind around it during the first few weeks, I was surprised how easy it was to establish and to maintain. The retention lifestyle is a blessing and a privilege, and I'm grateful for it. I still have all of the normal masculine feelings, but acting on them is out of the question. Living full of semen and testosterone is worth everything that we sacrifice to get there. As for you, be patient. Push yourself to new heights and be confident that breakthroughs will come when you're ready for them. Nothing reinforces semen retention better than choosing to do it as long as you can and choosing to resume it immediately after any lapses. Never willingly compromise or settle for less than you want, like I did when I dabbled in masturbation for two years that could have been avoided after I'd been free of it for a year. I wish you the greatest of success!
@@justdrewit2219 I reserve sex for marriage for reason of faith. I had a long-time non-intimate girlfriend in college. She got in a hurry to marry, but I wasn't ready. I've had plenty of offers from THOTs, but that's not what I'm about. I think marriage and family are great, but I also treasure my independence. I'm perfectly happy to retain until I'm either married or dead, and I'm not in a hurry for either one. Update: I'll be in solid retention for 3½ years at the end of this month.
@@MikeV8652 That's incredible, me personally, I don't think it's healthy to retain for that long, it's healthy and beneficial to release after a certain time, you won't lose anything really, but keep doing you man. You're very unique and in your own class compared to other guys.
@@MikeV8652 I understand why you’re doing it. The whole point is to be discipline and the benefits and blessings only come from being righteous. In reality we are suppose to do it for God anyways because that’s who releases these blessings for our efforts. God will bless you with a good wife and life for your dedication.
Retention taught me more about myself in 2 months than the past 21 years. Also I feel super in control of myself, never did I know such control was even feasible. My logic was everything external to me is out of my control however I am able to control myself, I will be the best at controlling myself.
Thank you so much. This is just what I needed. I’m home for winter break for a few more weeks and feel I have hit a plateau in terms of energy and motivation and I think a major part of it is because I am choking the chicken 2-3x a day. Sound to me like this might get me out of this rut!
@@dcgreatman Im on day 4 and im a boxer I also deleted Instagram to help with this I need my discipline and mental to be stronger then ever and ik I’ll feel way better I started to realize that the workouts were draining me and some days I just felt off
@@xenonssan4542 nice, I'm on day 2, deleting Instagram was definitely a smart move considering the effects of social media. We've got this, good luck on your journey!
This is an interesting topic. Thanks for sharing. I've been abstinent, active, on retention and now married where sky's the limit haha. I pondered on this as a professional athlete and this is what the pro docs tell me: Olympic training coach Mike Young, PhD, said - "A lot of it comes down to this notion that a man's vigor is in his sperm, and the theory would be that by abstaining from sexual activity you somehow keep testosterone high or even increase it," Young said. "That's completely refuted by the research." It was found that popping the P in the V actually increases testosterone, so can somewhat help with performances, only if it's not within two hours of that event starting. There are quite a bit of studies on this and what they all ultimately said is, it comes down to whether a person feels like they can or not. The biggest culprit to poor health and unproductively is when these intimate physical activities are used as a means of escaping responsibility, and the bad habits that are usually attached. Drinking, staying up late, being sneaky, being obsessed and others. Either way I hope you all have productive successful lives. Hope this helped!
Man! I just passed my 21 days gaining weight and personal development as a habit and proceed for 90 days... Imma add 1 more in my list💯 Retention. This is hard, but I'll try my best... Pray for me guys🔥🤟🏻🤸♂️
4 months retention no weed alcohol or porn. I have no control over my emotions and I get angry and irritated at the smallest things. I know the retention is working, since I don't give into my urges, and I have more of a direct purpose, but I keep not being able to take action, to pursue what I want in my life, and I don't have the capacity for meaningful connection, since I am horrified of opening up to anyone. I just want write this, to the highlight the fact that this is not some magical cure, that'll guarantee a better life, if you do the steps necessary. Shit is very complicated out there, and what works for some people, may not work for others. If you're still reading this, I wanna say I believe in you, whatever you do, I know what's in your heart is gonna work for you. Feel free to make whatever decision feels right for you.
You can do it one a month to not be that frustrating and still quit weed alcohol and porn at the same time, do exercise when you feel angry or start reading good books and meditate to be less irritated, sure something i say to you helps you a little
Sorry to hear that. I can say that whenever i clear bad energy in my life, i become more sensitive. Situations in life repeat until you master them? So what these episodes could be are situations in your life that have arisen time and again, but you previously numbed yourself to with the use of drugs or porn. Now that you are feeling them 100% it’s unpleasant but at least you are courageous enough to face them head on now! Work remains to be done but I hope that this may help you understand why you are feeling your emotions more intensely now that you have quit these numbing habits.
1 week in, going strong. Day 12: God damn. I got nothing but sex and porn of my mind since waking up. Not enough to make me cave I don't think. Luckily I got people staying over at the house at the moment. Felt nothing yesterday though. Curious how the next few days and week 3 are gonna be. Day 17: Occasional urges but nothing major. I haven't noticed any changes in my energy but my mood has really improved. I normally have a really big appetite but that seems to have completely dropped off. I'm nowhere near as hungry now. Also my thinking seems to a lot more clear than it was before. I have an easier time looking at situations objectively and spend less time dwelling on stuff that would normally give me anxiety. Day 21: Can't believe I made it 3 weeks. Don't know how I did it but I feel so proud of myself. My mood and general thinking patterns are great right now. Even though I'm not feeling any more energetic during my day to day than before I've started waking up almost 2 hours earlier than usual. I've been getting roughly 5-5.5 hours of sleep per night but I don't feel any less for it. It's like I just don't need as much sleep anymore. The urges unfortunately are getting stronger (though after getting this far there's no way I'd give in now) The most dangerous time is first thing in the morning. I had a sexual fantasy recently when I woke up (not willingly either, my brain just started directing a movie on its own) where I was doing the deed with a girl (no one I know, just someone my mind made up) never happened before but I didn't give in to it. I'm waiting for that phase when I can control the urges better. Right now just the sight of a girls bare shoulder gets my heart racing. Day 28: This past week has been a rollercoaster. That phase Cole describes where I'll have better control over my urges can't come soon enough. Even the smallest stimulus now gets me thinking and feeling all the dirty stuff. About 4 nights ago I went to bed and the sexual thoughts just wouldn't stop. When I woke up it was the same thing, just constant sexual thoughts, fantasies etc. Past few days have been better but I've taken more care to avoid anything arousing. I didn't bother before because I thought finding some sexy pics online and learning to ignore it would be better for me but now I feel like I have to avoid them. Other than that my confidence has been great lately. I don't feel the energy boost anymore (meaning I get sleepy pretty often again) and that's a damn shame but I think it might've transferred into my mental energy instead of my physical. Few weeks ago I had it in both so I don't know why the benefits seem to be dwindling. Day 31: Holy shit. I got my wish. My urges have dropped off so hard. I hardly think about porn and sex. Any sexual fantasies I have are short and pretty tame. I don't crave porn. I don't feel much when I come across sexy pics. Even morning wood hasn't been very serious. I think I need to give more credit to the mental energy I've had lately. I'm wittier, more confident, more enthusiastic, less awkward. This thing took a month but I'm finally seeing what makes it work so well. I was aiming to do this for 100 days but I think I'm gonna keep going until the benefits dwindle. Day 41: Been a while but there isn’t much new to say. Personal life has been tiring and stressful lately but I don’t think I’d be handling it as calmly as I am if not for SR. I shudder at the idea of dealing with some of these things without it. Day 50: Every week or so I get a sudden boost in energy where I wake up super early and feel great throughout the day. I’m a lot more motivated and productive. Before I would watch days go by without doing anything but now I get frustrated if I don’t do something productive each day. I’m dealing with stress in my personal life really well, not overthinking or making any rash decisions. Day 60: I seriously made it this far, wow. For some reason things have gone full circle and the urges have come back strong. First thing in the morning is when it’s most difficult. No way I’ll give up after going this far though. I wonder if it’ll get worse or go back to how it was for the past few weeks. I’m really grateful to this thing though, I’ve had some awkward encounters lately with people I don’t know that well and I’ve been able to brush them off right as they happened. Before I started doing this I would dwell and self loathe for being so socially inept. SR has become more of a lifestyle than a particular thing that I’m doing. Day 71: I think this'll be the last of these. The urges have settled back down again. It's only first thing in the morning where I have trouble. Everything else is the same and I think I've just gotten used to the benefits at this point. No real need for new updates as far as I can see, if some new change does happen I'll note it down though. I'm extremely grateful to Cole for introducing me to this practice though, it's been life changing and has really helped me handle a really stressful past few months and will be crucial for dealing with a very stressful next few months too. Thanks Cole. I've reached day 100.
Still on it lads. I’ve noticed the female customers at my work place have been a lot more eager to talk to me lately and I carry the conversations very well. At this rate your boy might actually get laid and if I reset after all this time then that’s exactly how I would like it. I’ve also stopped counting the days which is another reason I don’t really update this comment much.
It's not semen retention it's a state of mind. Practice mindfulness. Focus. Concentrate. Eliminate distractions. Learn to feel and channel energy. Be in tune by taking care of self. Be bodily aware physically, mentally, spiritually. Pay attention to how things affect you?
It has nothing to do with semen retention. No peer reviewed studies exist that confirm any of the claimed benefits. The only benefits you're experiencing are as a result of self-control and discipline which spill over to other parts of your life.
Well, now I know what I need to do to turn my life around I guess lol. Thank you for the video Cole, I just found your channel and I'm bingeing hardcore. I am kind of going through what you went through in college. Smoking, drinking, paying more attention to my friends, not feeling like I have a purpose. I just left my college early to go back home and finish online classes because I could see myself becoming someone I didn't want to become, and no one else was saying/doing anything to help me. Now I'm planning on getting a new job (Start next monday), getting a gym membership, quitting smoking, and reading more. I'll give you an update sometime in the future :) Day 1 baby, I got this!!!
@@sakaaroibrahim9686 fell hard, but I'm waking back up slowly...i can't stay committed to the things that would benefit me more. Almost flunked out of school, stopped going to the gym, (won't)/can't get a new job for some reason, and I've been pretty lonely these past few months. I'll see what comes next.
I've done celibacy, deleted my social media, etc during a hard time in my life after my only relationship which lasted about 7 years. It was a lot of trauma I had to heal from
Been married for seven years and just started retention two weeks ago and I have a clearer mind, more energy, and am in much greater control of my sexuality. My wife thought it was weird at first; she's starting to think it's hot.
Might I recommend a book? The Way of The Superior Man. Deep down, women dont want your semen really unless theyre actually wanting a baby. They want a present, strong, courageous compassionate man, and a snoring one who is empty just aint gonna cut it!!
You are going to think about the bigger picture, about the future, about how you can use Point B to get to Point C instead of just thinking of how to get from Point A to Point B. You are going to be a quick thinker with a great amount of grey matter in your brain and will naturally be drawn away from things that bring short term gratification, you will have a tiger like mindset with very strategic thinking. Anyway I just made a video on all this and went in deep check it out n stay blessed🙏❤️
I did this for 30 days (sadly gave up when I fell ill for a week and did it out of boredom). But those 30 days, I was happy af, especially after like day 7. The gym is a major part of my life, and due of injuries and illness I haven’t been able to go for 4 months. So I was so happy while doing this WITHOUT the gym! So I can’t imagine how good I’m gonna feel when I can do it all. I felt so productive, waking up with purpose, more discipline in my work. Now of course maybe some of it is just coincidence, but I’d 100% say it’s worth a try.
I am on 65 days and the benefits have certainly changed my life, I was struggling and had no purpose but with retention I feel different, it is like a life hack
11:50? That’s plateauing.. it’s when the effects of retention stop, for lack of a better word. That’s a good point to unload, and start over. Me personally? I practice retention, and unload every 15 or so days. It’s different for everybody, when they’ll start to feel the effects of the “stop”, I guess is what I’ll call it. So pay attention to yourself, and see when you’ll notice it hit. That’s usually a good point to release, and start over. Like I said, I’ll usually go for about 15 days before ejaculating and starting over. Sometimes I’ll go 30 days, then get back to my usual once every 15 days habits. I hope this is helpful for y’all. Keep pushing!
No bro, it's like hair, if u grew up always cutting your hair short, after a while your hair "learns" to slow down at a certain point If you keep the 15 day cycle, that's why u plateu, it will take a while, but it will grow. You're limiting it to a cycle
No fap or semen retention is like a good upgrade with meditation,training,mental training,learning,doing your household,mental training,diet,cold showers... After 90-150days it is more like a mental state...a change of your mindset for the long run

A year is a lot of time to make a lot of changes. Remember one decision can change your entire life!
jonah ramos one decision is all it takes to shift into a different timeline.
My goal are 3 Months. I had some streaks for 1 week, 2 weeks, my longest one was 4 weeks like 30 day or sum‘. And I can say that I really felt some changes and benefits like more power in the gym. So it wasn’t just placebo. It really works. However my longest run was 4 weeks. My goal now is 3 months and after I reach that I will increase in small steps!
LETS GO GUYS! Let us be the best version of ourselves and level up!
Performing better in the gym can still be placebo because you're convinced that you'll do better, so you'll do better.
It doesn’t matter if it’s placebo or not. Ultimately there are far more productive things a man can do than watch adult content.

I experienced 60 days of retention, and I felt much more energy into my body, physically and mentally. However, I was feeling much more stressed also, with everything and everyone. My mind was in an obsessed hurry for "success" and I easily lost the point of balance in my life.
It was 3 years ago, since then I've been studying and practicing more about spiritual technics of sexual transmutation, it's been helpful. The reason why I was in a such stressful period with that is that I wasn't being able to deal with my sexual repressions (repression and libertinage are both sides of the same coin) and I was being incapable to simply relax and accept that sexual energy bubbling inside my body. It stopped there in my genitals and I couldn't allow it to climb up through my body.
My tip is: Learn to breathe and dance with this energy, and retention will become a natural consequence. Don't react to the urge, breathe with it. Just observe and allow this energy to be there, without identification or denial.
This was me but I was only hustling because I was broke. For the last 3 years I worked almost everyday to save money.
It's best when you don't chase all these material things. We need to have a work life balance
Just hit 90 days yesterday. Having a spiritual practice like Yoga, Meditation, Qi going, breathwork and tai chi to do daily is crucial to keep the urges and wet dreams at bay.

I agree with this wholeheartedly, been on my semen retention journey since Sept. 8th and the benefits are amazing. It's getting to the point to where I won't share my seed until I'm ready for children with the right woman.
UPDATE 9/1/23: I can care less about meeting the 'right woman', but semen retention is still the way to go 😂👍🏾
That's great to hear! I'm proud of you man
Exactly man. When you’ve retained for quite some time you interact with a beautiful woman so differently....rather than be anxious or think about her sexually...you literally treat her just as another person/human being and she feels and appreciates this. As a guy that’s not great looking I’ve really noticed the big difference of retention. The spiritual purpose, more than anything, has really helped me personally. Peace and love. God bless.

Lol, you measure the possibility of girls coming around in weeks? That's hilarious, why are you watching this channel? I haven't had a date in almost 4 years. I've gone about a month of NoFap before and saw zero differences in my life, how I felt, my energy levels or how people reacted to me. Just the same ol' disinterest from girls and neutral reaction from guys.
Keep in mind I've been a gym rat for years, so I'd definitely notice a difference in energy levels.
You're doing fine man, you don't need any of this.
You should only be spilling your seed when engaging in sexual intercourse with a woman. Otherwise, retention is the most natural route to take.
Don’t worry about female attention. Focus on being the best man possible physically,mentally, spiritually, and financially. Less you worry about females the better off you’ll be.

Great point that after 90 days you don't notice the effects as much because it's a lifestyle now. I'm currently on Day-60 myself. However, if you were to Spill it, THAT'S when you'd definitely notice it - the fall from grace one might say. Speaking from first hand experience. Great video, man. Keep it up!

I was thinking how we are in a cycle of bad habits which we chose on a daily basis. Interesting how staying pure by changing our sexual habits and restraining ourselves has so many positive benefits. Seems very religious in a good way. I still am tempted to look at porn and beautiful women and having sex with my girlfriend but am going to try to continue to follow the path you all are on so I can make positive changes in my life for myself my family and even society and especially for my relationship with God!
May God give you all good strength and the discipline to keep yourselves strong and healthy mentally physically and spiritually!

@@Slickdown i failed my 35 day challenge 😂 but I'm still gonna try
@@jaygee9390 how’s it going
@@vxctor7006 recently I've been going strong on one week semen retentions and then relapsing, but I'm working my self up to over a month because I want it to be relaxing for me, and not a day by day "oh man I hope I don't nut today" type of stress for me.
@@jaygee9390 ngl I relapsed after a week the reason being is cause I just have too much time on me I need to be way more productive, but don’t give in stay strong
I just watched this video for the second time... since 2020 and dude.. I find it amazing how cole was talking about how society its trying to take our masculinity away.. that shit was so spot on.
You immediately gained my sub after you said "I'm pretty spiritual on this channel"
retention really helps me to move on from a heartbreak...

I got to 36 days, was going for the 90. The last month since has been one of if not the lowest in my life. My life has just felt like an exercise in futility.
Watching this has inspired me to go for it again. I want what this guy has. I want to be someone.
Wish me luck.
Good luck my man, going on my 4th day lol

5 days clean rn?
Litt yes! I feel great after just five days. I will not stop. I don’t wanna count the days, but In the beginning it’s nice to see how far you go, then after that it’ll turn into a lifestyle.
let's do this together bro. I've been 2 weeks
Congrats to you for trying it and for the decision to keep it going after 90 days. Being on total semen retention for 1¾ years is one of the finest experiences of my life. It's my natural lifestyle now, and I don't expect for that to change. It feels so great to be full of semen and testosterone that I don't even miss sexual release. Guys, you owe it to yourself to give this a good long try. You'll have to work up to it, but being a self-contained man is such a blessing and a privilege.
@Tian 333 Yes, I'm still on-point and will hit two years in ten days. It took me nearly five months to reach 90 days, and I fell right back into PMO. About a month later, I restarted, intending another 90. By the 60-day point, I was really into it and was excited to go much longer than 90, so I promised myself at least a year in total. In the mid part of my year, I was realizing that I could stay off porn forever; but as the year neared its end, whether I was really willing to give up masturbation for good remained an open question. The trouble with any goal of fixed duration is that it invites regression once it's reached. At the end of my promised year, I decided to just chill and see what would happen. By day 370, I felt that I had nothing left to prove, so I made a conscious decision to resume some occasional porn-free masturbation, but I've never used porn again. I found that I could choose to release when I wanted it, without feeling that I had to have it. It was a genuinely optional thing, like whether to take the freeway or not. I enjoyed giving myself orgasms again, but I soon found myself missing semen retention, so I'd also choose to enjoy occasional streaks of a few weeks or months without releasing. This alternating pattern continued for over two years, as I tried in vain to find a satisfactory middle path that would balance competing instincts. I eventually realized that I'd wanted semen retention more all along, and l was finally ready and even enthusiastic to let go of masturbation and orgasm for good. So, I psyched myself up to embrace permanent celibacy as of the end of 2018. As soon as I got my mind around it during the first few weeks, I was surprised how easy it was to establish and to maintain. The retention lifestyle is a blessing and a privilege, and I'm grateful for it. I still have all of the normal masculine feelings, but acting on them is out of the question. Living full of semen and testosterone is worth everything that we sacrifice to get there. As for you, be patient. Push yourself to new heights and be confident that breakthroughs will come when you're ready for them. Nothing reinforces semen retention better than choosing to do it as long as you can and choosing to resume it immediately after any lapses. Never willingly compromise or settle for less than you want, like I did when I dabbled in masturbation for two years that could have been avoided after I'd been free of it for a year. I wish you the greatest of success!
Do you not want a romantic relationship? Or are you unable to find one
@@justdrewit2219 I reserve sex for marriage for reason of faith. I had a long-time non-intimate girlfriend in college. She got in a hurry to marry, but I wasn't ready. I've had plenty of offers from THOTs, but that's not what I'm about. I think marriage and family are great, but I also treasure my independence. I'm perfectly happy to retain until I'm either married or dead, and I'm not in a hurry for either one. Update: I'll be in solid retention for 3½ years at the end of this month.
@@MikeV8652 That's incredible, me personally, I don't think it's healthy to retain for that long, it's healthy and beneficial to release after a certain time, you won't lose anything really, but keep doing you man. You're very unique and in your own class compared to other guys.
@@MikeV8652 I understand why you’re doing it. The whole point is to be discipline and the benefits and blessings only come from being righteous. In reality we are suppose to do it for God anyways because that’s who releases these blessings for our efforts. God will bless you with a good wife and life for your dedication.

Stoicism!
The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius really helped me. :)
Bro u saved my life ❤️❤️❤️ u are the most underrated youtuber I guess I love u 🙏🏻
Retention taught me more about myself in 2 months than the past 21 years. Also I feel super in control of myself, never did I know such control was even feasible. My logic was everything external to me is out of my control however I am able to control myself, I will be the best at controlling myself.
Thank you so much. This is just what I needed. I’m home for winter break for a few more weeks and feel I have hit a plateau in terms of energy and motivation and I think a major part of it is because I am choking the chicken 2-3x a day. Sound to me like this might get me out of this rut!

This is an interesting topic. Thanks for sharing. I've been abstinent, active, on retention and now married where sky's the limit haha. I pondered on this as a professional athlete and this is what the pro docs tell me:
Olympic training coach Mike Young, PhD, said - "A lot of it comes down to this notion that a man's vigor is in his sperm, and the theory would be that by abstaining from sexual activity you somehow keep testosterone high or even increase it," Young said. "That's completely refuted by the research." It was found that popping the P in the V actually increases testosterone, so can somewhat help with performances, only if it's not within two hours of that event starting.
There are quite a bit of studies on this and what they all ultimately said is, it comes down to whether a person feels like they can or not. The biggest culprit to poor health and unproductively is when these intimate physical activities are used as a means of escaping responsibility, and the bad habits that are usually attached. Drinking, staying up late, being sneaky, being obsessed and others.
Either way I hope you all have productive successful lives. Hope this helped!
Man! I just passed my 21 days gaining weight and personal development as a habit and proceed for 90 days...
Imma add 1 more in my list💯

Started 2021 as well, going strong, I'll check in with you lads at day 90!
Starting this too 💪
Day 7 let’s go
4 months retention no weed alcohol or porn. I have no control over my emotions and I get angry and irritated at the smallest things. I know the retention is working, since I don't give into my urges, and I have more of a direct purpose, but I keep not being able to take action, to pursue what I want in my life, and I don't have the capacity for meaningful connection, since I am horrified of opening up to anyone. I just want write this, to the highlight the fact that this is not some magical cure, that'll guarantee a better life, if you do the steps necessary. Shit is very complicated out there, and what works for some people, may not work for others. If you're still reading this, I wanna say I believe in you, whatever you do, I know what's in your heart is gonna work for you. Feel free to make whatever decision feels right for you.
You can do it one a month to not be that frustrating and still quit weed alcohol and porn at the same time, do exercise when you feel angry or start reading good books and meditate to be less irritated, sure something i say to you helps you a little
Sorry to hear that.
I can say that whenever i clear bad energy in my life, i become more sensitive. Situations in life repeat until you master them? So what these episodes could be are situations in your life that have arisen time and again, but you previously numbed yourself to with the use of drugs or porn. Now that you are feeling them 100% it’s unpleasant but at least you are courageous enough to face them head on now! Work remains to be done but I hope that this may help you understand why you are feeling your emotions more intensely now that you have quit these numbing habits.
Thanks man. Love the honesty!
Lot of your videos like this have helped me so much, you have no idea. Thank you!
Thats what I'm here to do, thank you for watching
1 week in, going strong.
Day 12: God damn. I got nothing but sex and porn of my mind since waking up. Not enough to make me cave I don't think. Luckily I got people staying over at the house at the moment. Felt nothing yesterday though. Curious how the next few days and week 3 are gonna be.
Day 17: Occasional urges but nothing major. I haven't noticed any changes in my energy but my mood has really improved. I normally have a really big appetite but that seems to have completely dropped off. I'm nowhere near as hungry now. Also my thinking seems to a lot more clear than it was before. I have an easier time looking at situations objectively and spend less time dwelling on stuff that would normally give me anxiety.
Day 21: Can't believe I made it 3 weeks. Don't know how I did it but I feel so proud of myself. My mood and general thinking patterns are great right now. Even though I'm not feeling any more energetic during my day to day than before I've started waking up almost 2 hours earlier than usual. I've been getting roughly 5-5.5 hours of sleep per night but I don't feel any less for it. It's like I just don't need as much sleep anymore. The urges unfortunately are getting stronger (though after getting this far there's no way I'd give in now) The most dangerous time is first thing in the morning. I had a sexual fantasy recently when I woke up (not willingly either, my brain just started directing a movie on its own) where I was doing the deed with a girl (no one I know, just someone my mind made up) never happened before but I didn't give in to it. I'm waiting for that phase when I can control the urges better. Right now just the sight of a girls bare shoulder gets my heart racing.
Day 28: This past week has been a rollercoaster. That phase Cole describes where I'll have better control over my urges can't come soon enough. Even the smallest stimulus now gets me thinking and feeling all the dirty stuff. About 4 nights ago I went to bed and the sexual thoughts just wouldn't stop. When I woke up it was the same thing, just constant sexual thoughts, fantasies etc. Past few days have been better but I've taken more care to avoid anything arousing. I didn't bother before because I thought finding some sexy pics online and learning to ignore it would be better for me but now I feel like I have to avoid them. Other than that my confidence has been great lately. I don't feel the energy boost anymore (meaning I get sleepy pretty often again) and that's a damn shame but I think it might've transferred into my mental energy instead of my physical. Few weeks ago I had it in both so I don't know why the benefits seem to be dwindling.
Day 31: Holy shit. I got my wish. My urges have dropped off so hard. I hardly think about porn and sex. Any sexual fantasies I have are short and pretty tame. I don't crave porn. I don't feel much when I come across sexy pics. Even morning wood hasn't been very serious. I think I need to give more credit to the mental energy I've had lately. I'm wittier, more confident, more enthusiastic, less awkward. This thing took a month but I'm finally seeing what makes it work so well. I was aiming to do this for 100 days but I think I'm gonna keep going until the benefits dwindle.
Day 41: Been a while but there isn’t much new to say. Personal life has been tiring and stressful lately but I don’t think I’d be handling it as calmly as I am if not for SR. I shudder at the idea of dealing with some of these things without it.
Day 50: Every week or so I get a sudden boost in energy where I wake up super early and feel great throughout the day. I’m a lot more motivated and productive. Before I would watch days go by without doing anything but now I get frustrated if I don’t do something productive each day. I’m dealing with stress in my personal life really well, not overthinking or making any rash decisions.
Day 60: I seriously made it this far, wow. For some reason things have gone full circle and the urges have come back strong. First thing in the morning is when it’s most difficult. No way I’ll give up after going this far though. I wonder if it’ll get worse or go back to how it was for the past few weeks. I’m really grateful to this thing though, I’ve had some awkward encounters lately with people I don’t know that well and I’ve been able to brush them off right as they happened. Before I started doing this I would dwell and self loathe for being so socially inept. SR has become more of a lifestyle than a particular thing that I’m doing.
Day 71: I think this'll be the last of these. The urges have settled back down again. It's only first thing in the morning where I have trouble. Everything else is the same and I think I've just gotten used to the benefits at this point. No real need for new updates as far as I can see, if some new change does happen I'll note it down though. I'm extremely grateful to Cole for introducing me to this practice though, it's been life changing and has really helped me handle a really stressful past few months and will be crucial for dealing with a very stressful next few months too. Thanks Cole.
I've reached day 100.

@@birukamengistu235 Updated. Thanks for bringing me back to this comment. I almost forgot about it.
I gotta ask... Are you still on SR? And if so, how do you feel now?

Still on it lads. I’ve noticed the female customers at my work place have been a lot more eager to talk to me lately and I carry the conversations very well. At this rate your boy might actually get laid and if I reset after all this time then that’s exactly how I would like it. I’ve also stopped counting the days which is another reason I don’t really update this comment much.
Underrated Channel, I wanna see this grow
That's what she said
It's not semen retention it's a state of mind. Practice mindfulness. Focus. Concentrate. Eliminate distractions. Learn to feel and channel energy. Be in tune by taking care of self. Be bodily aware physically, mentally, spiritually. Pay attention to how things affect you?
U dumb
@@chente188 chente
it's both and retention gives all those things.
It has nothing to do with semen retention. No peer reviewed studies exist that confirm any of the claimed benefits. The only benefits you're experiencing are as a result of self-control and discipline which spill over to other parts of your life.
@@chente188 no, you. How is holding that nut working out for you
Well, now I know what I need to do to turn my life around I guess lol. Thank you for the video Cole, I just found your channel and I'm bingeing hardcore. I am kind of going through what you went through in college. Smoking, drinking, paying more attention to my friends, not feeling like I have a purpose. I just left my college early to go back home and finish online classes because I could see myself becoming someone I didn't want to become, and no one else was saying/doing anything to help me. Now I'm planning on getting a new job (Start next monday), getting a gym membership, quitting smoking, and reading more. I'll give you an update sometime in the future :) Day 1 baby, I got this!!!
How is it going bro?
@@sakaaroibrahim9686 fell hard, but I'm waking back up slowly...i can't stay committed to the things that would benefit me more. Almost flunked out of school, stopped going to the gym, (won't)/can't get a new job for some reason, and I've been pretty lonely these past few months. I'll see what comes next.
@@sqwall101 and where are you now?
I've done celibacy, deleted my social media, etc during a hard time in my life after my only relationship which lasted about 7 years. It was a lot of trauma I had to heal from
Been married for seven years and just started retention two weeks ago and I have a clearer mind, more energy, and am in much greater control of my sexuality. My wife thought it was weird at first; she's starting to think it's hot.
You mean you're married but you still beat your meat? Don't understand.
Might I recommend a book? The Way of The Superior Man. Deep down, women dont want your semen really unless theyre actually wanting a baby. They want a present, strong, courageous compassionate man, and a snoring one who is empty just aint gonna cut it!!
You are going to think about the bigger picture, about the future, about how you can use Point B to get to Point C instead of just thinking of how to get from Point A to Point B. You are going to be a quick thinker with a great amount of grey matter in your brain and will naturally be drawn away from things that bring short term gratification, you will have a tiger like mindset with very strategic thinking. Anyway I just made a video on all this and went in deep check it out n stay blessed🙏❤️
I appreciate and respect your honesty in this video. Honesty goes a long way
Thank you brother
Awesome video! Nofap is a lifestyle, if only more people new the benefits and how great and important controlling your sexual energy is
I did this for 30 days (sadly gave up when I fell ill for a week and did it out of boredom). But those 30 days, I was happy af, especially after like day 7. The gym is a major part of my life, and due of injuries and illness I haven’t been able to go for 4 months. So I was so happy while doing this WITHOUT the gym! So I can’t imagine how good I’m gonna feel when I can do it all. I felt so productive, waking up with purpose, more discipline in my work. Now of course maybe some of it is just coincidence, but I’d 100% say it’s worth a try.
Thumbnail makes it seem like the only thing body wise that changed was your tan lol
I am on 65 days and the benefits have certainly changed my life, I was struggling and had no purpose but with retention I feel different, it is like a life hack
11:50? That’s plateauing.. it’s when the effects of retention stop, for lack of a better word. That’s a good point to unload, and start over. Me personally? I practice retention, and unload every 15 or so days. It’s different for everybody, when they’ll start to feel the effects of the “stop”, I guess is what I’ll call it. So pay attention to yourself, and see when you’ll notice it hit. That’s usually a good point to release, and start over. Like I said, I’ll usually go for about 15 days before ejaculating and starting over. Sometimes I’ll go 30 days, then get back to my usual once every 15 days habits. I hope this is helpful for y’all. Keep pushing!
No bro, it's like hair, if u grew up always cutting your hair short, after a while your hair "learns" to slow down at a certain point
If you keep the 15 day cycle, that's why u plateu, it will take a while, but it will grow. You're limiting it to a cycle
No fap or semen retention is like a good upgrade with meditation,training,mental training,learning,doing your household,mental training,diet,cold showers...
After 90-150days it is more like a mental state...a change of your mindset for the long run
even though this is only day 1, i know this will help me and i wont fail. thank you for sharing this!
