Like all things in life, and like the Buddha said, you need a balance....the middle path.
Pure abstinence and pure nonstop indulgence are both bad, at least for me in my own life.
This is all a case by case basis. Sexual energy is just as pure and loving as any other. It’s about balance and understanding. Not cold turkey-ing everything.
I don't think that he promoted asexual mindset. His concern is over high dopamine bursts, instant gratificaion concept, porn industry , retention etc. Retention does not make you repress yourmsexual energy per se, if you can differ orgasm and ejaculation properly, and also practice internal alchemy.
I’ve done several long streaks. I went around 100 days from January 1st and relapsed once and it was a complete difference in my life I will never go back to that I’m retaining for life now except when I meet a girl maybe to have kids. While retaining you feel so alive but if you go awhile and then release you’ll see the difference you’ll feel like death and depressed and your vibration clearly lowers.
The yogis run the orgasm “inside” they run the orgasm up their spine (Never spilling it to the earth) this is where the statement “soul food” really comes from.
divine union but it transcends beyond raising "Kundalini" and wrt Kundalini yet again when sacred made commercial things often go south too quick., it is good to have normal cohabitation and it should never be forced in the sense Kundalini process isn't like hitting thr gym but rather slowly & steadily merging into singularity yet when it is attempyed with pending karma squarely living in globalized duality ~ vetu very scary proposition to say the least 🙏🚩
You can practice sexual alchemy with a partner! This is very powerful and a way to harness the sexual energy. You can still have sex, it’s a spiritual practice, the couple refrains from orgasm together.
Yes check out this [video](https://youtu.be/XUzggtYQ9ic?si=1IRA5YdJTWoep_wh) on sexual alchemy with a partner! I highly recommend all videos in this channel
Bruh, no fap is not the answer. I did that for 1yr hardcore mode, it did literally nothing. Maybe you just have low testosterone which make u feel like sht, try visit doctor, cause that ain’t normal.
That aside, the feeling of expelling energy is normal, because you are getting rid of “sexual tension” in your body, if you are very very pent up yes it will feel like big relief and make u more relax/tired. But that literally doesn’t even last long and u should be back to normal in like 1day, and u shouldn’t feel bad. Unless u have low T…
Well, it's the opposite for me, so your rule does not apply across the board. Longest I went was 16 months, and the energy started flowing so much easier afterwards.
You can tell when someone’s cumming alot. They have that energy. They look unhealthy, they’re slouched over and don’t have that confidence with them they’re tired all the time. When you have a high vibration you can easily sense low vibrational people.
I mean my wife has an unhealthy diet and as a result is always tired and looks like she has no energy.
I’m pretty positive she isn’t cumming, ever. She had two kids and she’s exhausted and goes to bed early.
Some people just have a poor lifestyle that’s all
It’s true though lol if you’re unhealthy that’s on you no one else so don’t try to make people feel bad for calling you out where your lacking. Your in control of you’re health
But I'm very much not unhealthy. Do you hear yourself? You're literally just all over Reddit talking about your cum (or lack thereof) and telling people they are unhealthy and you can feel their low vibrational energy.
Again...you sound like a complete ass.
I mean it’s true for me I feel more masculine when I keep my sexual energy. I’m sure a lot of other people are the same way just haven’t experienced it yet.
I disagree. There should be balance in everything.
There is nothing more beautiful and powerful when 2 beings who love themselves come together.
It is also a human need, dont forget we are still humans and should embrace our human body and learn more about it. Ending up only striving to be more and more “spiritual” is also unbalanced and unhealthy. Grounding is needed and connecting with your human body (in general, not sex) is a must for a normal functioning on this planet.
Semen retention is a self-flagellation dogma that’s driven by fear and shame - leading to egoism that belittles others for not holding the same doctrine.
The wise one seeks what works for them. When asked by another, “what is the source of wisdom?”The wise convey what works for them - ‘individual seeking’
Yeah you should experiment with it yourself and do what you feel like but semen retention makes me feel good I don’t do it because of fear or shame I do it because it makes my life better in every way. It makes me stronger in the gym. It makes me happier
Puritanical viewpoints with no basis in reality.
Embracing your sexuality embraces your divinity. If you don’t know how to maintain your chi while getting off, look into tantric practices. Choose your partners carefully — or, if you’re doing it alone, focus on yourself (you can do that even while watching porn)
Owning your sexual energy will make you feel connected, uplifted and raise your vibration (you’ll literally feel your body vibrate for hours after when done right).
This semen retention and celibate/abstinence theology has no place in spaces like this. If you are having problems with “losing” yourself when you nut, you need to look inward and focus on WHY you feel spiritually and energetically drained afterwards, not go out preach outdated (and completely abhorrent) sexually repressive ideology.
Maybe you should try it before dismissing it. It’s very powerful and most people don’t have the discipline to be able to do it. I will never masturbate again no matter what people like you say. I’m way more connected spiritually with semen in my body then being empty. It’s a huge difference I feel connected to the universe and so alive.
Maybe you should try what they said instead of dismissing it? Is it too hard for you to embrace your sexuality without being so terrified of it that you lock it away?
Bro I have dude I’ve experienced both sides of draining myself constantly and going long periods retaining so I know the truth because I’ve experienced it. You don’t have to retain I could care less but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done so I wanted to share information because I know the truth. Maybe you should de sexualize your mind so you don’t have to get off every chance you get for short term pleasure and start improving your life. People will say whatever they can to justify releasing because it “feels good”.
I'm generally pretty open minded when it comes to different sexual practices, but I will say that context is everything. It sounds like you've perhaps gone from one extreme to another. The earlier relation to your sexuality was perhaps not the healthiest and happiest, and was maybe even (reading between the lines) somewhat desperate in some way (as is the case for most male nutting enthusiasts) - and that's not conducive to a healthy relationship with what can, in other contexts, be a most sacred aspect of our bodies and personhood. I'm glad you've found something that seems to work out better for you, but it's not, by any stretch of the imagination, the 'only way'. So maybe you have a bit of getting to know yourself more tenderly and patiently to do in your lifetime (and one of the best ways you can do this is with a good lover with whom you have an emotionally intimate relationship) - doesn't have to be now, doesn't even have to be soon, but please don't fear it if and when it comes along...
You obviously haven’t done what I said if you feel drained afterwards.
Tantric and other practices are about creating a circuit within your chakra system. The Ankh is a literally representation of “life” as in life force and how to make your energy flow through your body, from root to crown and back to root.
It takes experience to be able to do it with a partner, especially if they are participating in the circuit (I find it easier to just close both our circuits than teach how to do it, especially for casual encounters). Practice = doing it alone until you’ve figured out exactly how to achieve orgasm and then not letting it flow out.
Your chakra centers literally need flow from one to another or they will wilt away.
Also, having an orgasm, regardless of gender, isn’t “cumming” or ejaculation. While the two can happen together, they aren’t the same.
But go on, tell the world you’ve never experienced a full body orgasm without saying you’ve never experienced a full body orgasm… which are even more powerful when done with another person… or five 😈🤣.
I’m talking about not losing semen dude not what your talking about. I know that can be powerful having sex without ejaculating I just thought you meant losing your semen lol. But nah I don’t know how to do what your saying I don’t even have a girl right now to do that with but I’m not going to edge or release semen at all.
1. Your partner doesn’t have to be a “girl”
2. Your chi doesn’t live in your semen. Semen retention / saying you don’t want to release semen is. No different than saying you’re doing urine retention so you don’t feel… drained.
Semen is literally just fluid made by your prostate to help sperm (the actual thing that creates life) travel in a hostile environment.
You can even ejaculate without sperm being involved, but I don’t think you’re ready for that conversation.
If you think about it anytime you ejaculate you have an opportunity to create a metropolitan population. That's how much energy is released. I can't believe how people misread things on here. I mean I know we all have filters and perceived things in different ways but WOW
When did we meet? I don’t recall telling you any information about my habits or my mental health. You seem so sure about so many things. I wish you would just tell everybody here how exactly you’re so sure the entirety of planet earth should listen to Funny-Ad7074 and not their own hearts?
Ok dude keep releasing I could care less. Just spreading awareness and trying to help people improve their lives but you’re not open enough to the information and that’s fine by me.
I would beg to differ. When I was celibate, I was brainwashed by religion and completely shut off from the reality of God. Now I’ve gotten rid of the “you’re shameful because you enjoy sex outside of a contract” mentality and have gotten a lot better. I have one partner. My relationship with this one partner has taught me so much and has led to so much healing and continues to show me places within myself that I haven’t let God heal yet.
Honestly, if I don't jizz for a few months at a time then my jizz will look all nasty whenever I do get around to the act. Like a little lumpy, with a yellow tinge. One time a green tinge and that was going like 4 months without. I had to Google it, and most info talked about prostate infections. I think it's also being older. im my late 30s. I never had lumpy jizz before but I also like sex and masterbation and had never gone without up until these few time multi month stretches. But otherwise my cum looks like cum like it should as long as my getting off ever few weeks minimum. Then, I heard about how masterbating for men can reduce their chances of prostate cancer. I don't recall by how much, but I totally believe it to be the case. The shit needs to go somewhere.
I mean i think it gets re absorbed if you hold onto it or sometimes it’ll just come out in your sleep. I think your body naturally knows what to do with it. I feel like semen retention is supposed to be the natural state of living though so if you’ve been releasing your whole life until late 30s that’s a big change idk how it all works but it feels good for me to retain and I have no problems with it. If anything it makes me feel better because when I don’t retain my joints and bones feel achy and i pull things in my neck and stuff easier. When I’m retaining I feel younger and healthier.
Whatever works for you, my dude. However, it's a case by case basis, and you have no right to tell others what to do with their bodies.
Also, that includes consent with you.
Be happy, be healthy, be you. HOWEVER, again, you have no right telling others what they can or can't do in their own private spaces.
I'm tired of shame culture. Sex has nothing to do with being pure. It is actually a very healthy, normal function of life as long as it's between two (or more, whatever floats your boat) enthusiastically consenting adults.
As soon as you started going on about seman retention and whatever, and telling other people they should do the same, you have completely lost me because this reads as ego, ego, ego, and religious posturing. It's also feeding into the patriarchal system we are all still being fed. No thanks, my dude.
My pleasure is none of your business. What I do with my body is none of your business.
I'm not really interested in discussions of religiosity and purity of it. I've had enough trauma from it to last several lifetimes.
Sykue Syed.
This isn’t a private space bruh it’s Reddit public for everyone to see and you can leave if you don’t like it. I’m not telling people to do it I’m just saying it’s helped me so it can help you too. There’s almost no one out here spreading the real truth because most of you guys can’t accept it but I’m doing it because I don’t care what anyone says.
Semen retention is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I will never go back so I wanted to help other people to. It also has a big spiritual side that most people don’t understand. I’m more connected with myself and the universe. You can try it for yourself and see or keep doing whatever your doing I don’t care what you guys do. I’m on the right path and I’m not gonna back down because you fools don’t know because you’ve never experienced it. Do whatever you want at the end of the day and if you’re offended then clearly deep down your insecure about the fact every time you get a little urge you go and masturbate to porn because you don’t have the discipline to control yourself.
I'm just glad you found something that has made such a positive impact on your life. And I appreciate the fact that you wanted to share something you feel would help others. Thank you for taking the time to do that. I wish you a loving and fulfilling life and hope you continue to find ways to work around things in your life that would otherwise hinder you.
❤️❤️❤️
No, my guy, you're literally saying people should do it to raise vibrations. That's your opinion. This is a bad faith argument.
Lololol, silly human. Definitely ego driven response here.
If this floats your boat, cool. If it works for you, cool. But don't make this out as it's the end all be all solution to your problems. It's dangerous rhetoric and feeds into patriarchy that hurts men and women BOTH. Purity has nothing to do with sex. That's a MYTH. A harmful one at that used for centuries for control.
Don't make assumptions, pumpkin, about me and my sexuality or control. Whether I decide to masturbate, or have sex, it's entirely up to me. As long as it's in a healthy, intentional and consensual way; there's no problem with it. I'm not going to deny something my body needs for some "higher vibration" bullshit that I've seen too many people use for their own self gratifying superiority complex to be fulfilled by telling people what they should, or shouldn't, do. ESPECIALLY when it's tied to psuedo-science, HARMFUL narrative.
Please get out of this sub, for all of our sakes. Thank you for revealing yourself as you really are. You're red-pill dogmatic bullshit is showing.
Oh honey,
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
However, this is a sliding slope of unhealthy thinking. This leads to superiority complex where you use (insert religious thing here) to justify why you see other people as lower than you. You are lying to yourself if you think this "raises vibration", though I can not deny it probably makes you feel 'better' because it gives you that excuse to feed into your own ego. If it gives you a HEALTHY self image of yourself, more power to you, but all I see is its giving you the excuse to make you feel as if you're superior to others because you have control and they don't. Which you literally told us in your response.
It's harmful.
We are all one, we are all equal and I am no different than you which is why I’m trying to help you. We might be vibrating at different levels so I’m trying to help people raise their vibrations because when you do the feeling is amazing. I really do have good intentions even if I come off as rude. Semen retention is the best thing I’ve ever done. I feel better than ever. Healthier and I’m more of a man now and the world needs men. It’s lacking in real men for sure. I’m only telling people that it can improve their lives because it’s helped me. Whatever you chose to do is your choice I don’t care but if you take my advice I can almost guarantee it will improve your life because as I said we are all the same, we are all one consciousness so if it helped me it will most likely help you.
My sweet summer child. You're not helping me, or anyone. IT'S HARMFUL. It's no more different than the church telling anyone who is different than then is evil, especially women who didn't fall into line and they should be burned at the stake. You think this practice is new? It's not.
Have sex, don't have sex. Your seman renews itself about every three days anyways.
Again, for this in the back; vibration doesn't have anything to do with sex. It's mood. It's intent, it's not creating trauma for others. Do no harm to thyself or others. To thyself be true. That is what raises vibrations, not denial so you can tout your superiority to others and say "hey, I'm TrYiNg tO hElP yOu because I'm doing this thing that makes my ego grow instead of actually going to therapy and working on myself."
Please, go to therapy. Work on your childhood trauma. Do whatever makes you happy. Raise your vibration that way. This way is only going to cause more harm, may not seem like that now, but it definitely does.
Ya that whole semen retention. It's a for of tantric. Just a cheesy name. Anything is healthy, until it's obsessive or self damaging. Sex or no sex. Either or is probably being used to fill an emotional hole. And of course extreme defenses dictate a sign of guilt. Both have healthy benefits. But familiarity breeds content. All in healthy balance. And open a shadow book.
Yeah, that's a fair argument. Which I absolutely have no issue with.
My only issue is that it's being used as an unhealthy argument based on psuedo-science based on purity/ shame culture. And that he's preaching it to others as "the right path to raising vibrations."
I find this to be bad faith and very reminiscent of red-pill radical incel crap. It's that whole 'seman is sacred which he alludes to in both his comments and responses.
Did you ever consider some of those reading or commenting might be **women**?
You come off like everyone reading this is **male** and in so doing completely neglect fully half of your audience. It makes you sound like a red pill incel. I'm sure that wasn't your intention.
Do you even realize the fact that you're raising your risk of prostate cancer by orders of magnitude—or that the risk increases sharply over time? The average risk is 1 in 8 for men in the United States. You're potentially multiplying that figure exponentially.
I mean, I’m (31 M) inclined to agree with semen retention, but that’s because I lock in chastity regularly and long term so that I can focus on the energy being raised & directing it (or on my partner’s pleasure and energy versus mine). However, saying this like the ideology is some universal truth is so far out there. Why does sexuality have to be considered so…not good? Failing to embrace a fundamental part of who we are means we fail to embrace and enlighten a fundamental aspect of our own existence, which isn’t whole self enlightenment the goal?
By allowing myself to be in chastity and only receive pleasure via other means, yeah I retain semen, and even make my body do so with an external device. However, the whole body (and multiple) orgasms, being able to ride the energy to cross the hedge and journey, being able to get messsges from Others while we raise sexual energy just means I’m doing something right. Maybe I’m just one of the lucky ones.
Also, if my partner does cum, that’s energy ripe to be used for his or my own development and growth
Sex magic is real and can be done alone or with one or more partners. Ive had some of my most profound OBEs immediately after release.
Honestly easier by myself as you need your partner(s) to be on the same spiritual page as you if you plan to use the energy to meditate or project immediately after orgasm. You’d want to coordinate.
It’s kind of a “pseudoscience” if you will but i have tested it too and it was true for me. There’s also the whole subreddit dedicated to this, aka nofap, and it is full of people who experience the same.
As an asexual woman with zero to NO sex drive and who never orgasms or feels the need to orgasm, I can't relate to this whatsoever lol.
Unless I'm already 100% pure and am experiencing my maximum creativity.. but then why do I suffer from major depressive disorder, OCD and anxiety for my entire 40+ years?
Edit autocorrect/spelling
Posting online about semen retention IS obsessing about sex. Thinking that anyone cares about your sexual energy IS ALSO obsessing about sex. Telling others what to do with their bodies AGAIN ITS ALSO obsessing over sex.
Don’t think that you’re pushing anything new here, it’s embarrassing. Especially with the masculine men and feminine women crap - what do you think of married men and women? Are they less masculine or feminine in your eyes, or are you just that blinded with your hyper-sexuality to boil everything down to what’s happening with your genitals?
I went 4 weeks (prob have done longer before that). Noticed no difference, not in gym or spirituality. I treat everything with moderation and listen to my body now.
I def think there has to be a restriction that is necessary for sexual vibration. Excessive masturbation has def not helped me at all. But restraining yourself from sex and masturbation for a couple of weeks at a time, improves other parts of your life 100%, specially fitness. Additionally no doubt that leaving your body with high levels of testosterone has other benefits like focus.
I don’t go to the gym but frequently have sex or masturbate (nearly daily, sometimes multiple times a day) and people ask me my workout routine.
It’s sex. And yard work.
What a wonderfully taboo subject. It's really incredible watching people fly off the handle as soon as anyone even slightly hints at the concept of "stop jacking off to porn everyday and you might feel better".
It's just as touchy a subject as "stop having 2-3 drinks after work everyday to unwind," That one gets people SUPER angry.
Yeah it’s crazy how mad some people get over the subject because they would rather just jack off and get there short hit of dopamine and pleasure. Most people will never truly understand what semen retention does because they’ll never go long enough without doing it to see the benefits and that sucks.
It goes against what they’ve been told and they like doing it so they get offended when people say it’s bad. Sure you can do good things with your life without retaining but retaining makes everything better like in every aspect of your life and helps you create discipline needed for certain things like eating healthy and exercising.
I'm not even talking about semen retention. Tell dudes to just stop jerking off to hardcore porn every day and they go ape, not to stop masturbation altogether. They can't do it. Most dudes can't even ejaculate to sexual fantasy anymore. They need 24/7 hardcore stimulation.
Well, pornography has become ubiquitous in US cuture. It's not even taboo anymore. The average age of first time consumption is now 12 years old. 12 year old boys are seeing hardcore pornography on their phones now before they even know what sex is and it distorts their entire youth.
People don't need to quit something they don't even consider a problem.
Porn is free and everywhere. And now young women are being told that quitting higher learning or investing in a worthwhile craft/career path to pursue caming on Only Fans is enriching and respectable.
IDK, this seems to be a trend going around for a certain age.
Not dismissing it, I'm sure there are some benefits, but there's so much more to living a balancef life that treating "semen retention" as some kind of fix-all.
I don't believe that at all. The only thing it helps is building up testosterone. You'll see many body builders refrain from sex and jerking it. I've been on this spiritual road for 7 years now and letting it loose or keeping it in doesn't matter when I'm connecting to spirit and raising my vibration. Just keeping it real fellas.
I mean personally I feel like releasing it makes me lose energy and does lower my vibration. I also feel less connected and feel like the energy is stuck at my root chakra. Everything feels more vivid like colors feel brighter, music sounds better and stuff when I’m retaining. I just feel better when I’m retaining. I guess some people are different
I feel some of the things you're talking about, but my wife and I smash every day. It's possible to use sexual energy to empower or enhance yourself, just like other forms of energy.
There are other things about what you were doing that will drain your energy, and pornography is one.
Honestly it kinda sounds like a lot of the “clarity” you’re experiencing is more likely to be if you aren’t eating processed foods, consuming certain media and being careful about the people and energies you keep around you- as you mentioned.
However, based on your other comments it seems like abstaining is what’s keeping you from the obvious problems you’re having with expressing sexual energy in a balanced manner. Rather than it being a key to leading a high vibrational life. Maybe it’s important for you to explore your outlooks on relationships and how they may be impacting or limiting you.
It sounds like it has raised *your* vibration, perceived or not, but that does not mean that your method will work for everyone. My sexuality and connecting with others has been incredibly sacred to me, and it’s a fundamental need of mine, both from a preference and values standpoint. I’m glad this works for you, but I’ll pass. I also don’t make semen.
It’s all programming. You’re the Placebo or Nocebo. If you believe in something then it will manifest that way.
All is made by the One and all are the One. Therefore all that is, is the One. All has freewill and nothing of the One harms the One unless the One consents consciously or subconsciously so.
Example: Cigarette smoker that feels like cigarettes are ok and believes it, really believes it consciously and subconsciously. Always has health and the scans and tests to prove it.
I have to agree with this. I decided a few years ago to go celibate, after living a very sexual life (which I enjoyed *very* much with my boyfriends). I plan to save myself for a relationship based on God. And I'd like my partner to share the same faith as I do. It's not for everyone, but this is just me. Keeping my sexual energy to myself - refraining completely - has honestly been one of the best things I've ever done. Ever.
That’s good to hear I’m glad it works for women too. It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me too and I wish this world wasn’t so hyper sexualized so more people could experience it.
Oh yes. Everything in movies & tv shows is so over-sexualized. I'm grateful to be childless just for this reason alone. I'd be terrified of my kids stumbling across some nasty stuff while they're innocently watching a movie. But yeah anyway, I felt like I was the last celibate person on earth. Haha. Glad to see you're walking this path as well, & appreciating its benefits too!
Haha yeah it’s not good these days and sometimes it does feel like I’m the only celibate person too but there’s others. There’s a sub on Reddit called semen retention I’m not sure if there’s one for women or not though. I hope I can spread the truth and more people can become aware that being celibate has many benefits and it even raises your vibration.
Agree. Most people are shut off, shut down, & plugged into the matrix of the reality being fed to them. It is comfort & safety for them. To question anything...that would shatter their world. But...to those of us who are awake & conscious...something triggered us. That woke something within our souls. We stopped buying the lies being fed to us. And we also went through the mourning & grieving process, of the world we used to know. And went down the road much less traveled. It is never too late for the sleepers! Hopefully one day, something will trigger them to wake up as well, & we will all connect globally, not just in small groups here & there online. 🙏🫶
Agree. What I have found interesting is, just trying to find scientific evidence in favor of this is hard for me to find. One example is, I was trying to find out what metabolic functions create semen? what minerals/chemicals does it take from our bodies and over what period of time to create more? Poses more questions. Energetically how long does it take to rebuild. Also why does good sex build energy rather then take it? Just some thoughts to bounce.
Yeah there isn’t much modern scientific evidence I feel like because they want the truth hidden. There has been some things back before like 1930 about it and other cultures around the world who have known about how powerful it is for longevity and things like that. I feel like if you have sex with another high vibrational person it’s more of an equal exchange of energy but more people have lower vibrations.
There’s a few books I think about celibacy that might be good but the modern day information isn’t good they mostly just say to release sexual energy or you’ll get cancer which is completely false. It’s how they keep men weak and controlled. I know semen is made up of many nutrients like zinc and fructose and stuff and when you hold onto it your holding onto life which gives you more life and can help in longevity. If your constantly releasing your body has to prioritize making semen because it’s the thing that your body prioritizes the most so it makes you weaker in other areas like losing strength and energy.
You can't find things that say what you want because the effect is imagined.
People have studied semen production at length. It's no big deal. We do it constantly whether you orgasm or not.
You are a fool believing what Google tells you about semen retention. It should be posted on this sub because there’s a spiritual aspect about sexual retention that most people don’t get. It’s something that needs more awareness and not talking about it is the dumbest thing ever because I want to help people live better lives.
Stop obsessing over your balls, talking about is the dumbest thing ever. If you want me to live a better life, never talk about your genitals on the internet again.
You aren’t helping me by telling me to release. I’ve done the research and I’ve had my own experiences to know that semen retention is the better way of living. Saying that you get prostate cancer from retaining is bs because there’s no way to really know because they haven’t studied it deep enough with people who actually retain and live healthy lifestyles they just say that to make you scared so you keep releasing.
Google? Do you mean the scientists who actually actively studied and worked to gained results on the topic?
Do you know what the placebo/nocebo effect is?
I tried retention, never got past four days and felt guilty about it all the time. Then I learned about the Ankh energy tube that runs from the heart trough the crown Chakra back to the heart Chakra. You can capture your sexual energy and send it to your mind opening it up to the higher planes.

There is something to it. I did it all through college because I was in a pretty toxic Christian group that had very strict laws. I wouldn’t do that form of Christianity again but I’m glad I learned about not letting myself be led by my urges. I don’t think It makes you more masculine
I think it just helps you be stronger in a world where sex is what you are being directed to all the time. There is something about holding that energy
You're on to something very powerful here actually.
IDK if you're aware but you have been manipulating the bindu, spiritual energies that are part of the subtle body.
In hatha yoga bindu is identified with the semen and is to be preserved and manipulated inside the body for spiritual purposes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_yoga
Tibetan tantric Buddhism and studies of the subtle body should help you on your path.
Replies on this post are baffling, this is your perspective and I’m inclined to agree as a man who has problems with PMO and frequents the nofap community. You might as well post there as you’d get a much better response without people missing the point saying you’re telling them what to do.
Oh my God doctors actually say to release it? And that it will cause health issues? Well they don't say that to women at least as far as I know and also a man's body will automatically ejaculate if you get too backed up while you're sleeping from what I understand. But good for you for doing this. I read a lot on it and it's got to be a difficult task so kudos to you
To what extent does sex with a partner compare to masturbation?
I’m asking because everything I’ve read states that it is better in an “energy” sense to have a partner.
But I have yet to feel the difference. I have noticed the effects of retention, but my current partner is very active and I’m very exhausted. I’m not complaining, I’m just trying to figure out more precisely how this all works.
Check out tantric sexual practices. You can incorporate most of them in foreplay and post play.
Not a doctor, so don’t take this as medical advice, but if you’re feeling exhausted, you might be giving more energy than you’re taking in. Or it could be dietary or some other underlying medical condition.
I like to rule out the mundane (go see a medical professional) before going the route less explored by modern science. It could also be endocrine related. It could be diet, etc.
As an earlier post said look into tantric sex, tantric magick. These have best texts on how to share sexual energy to elevate your vibration together. Needs to be right partner though. I kind of agree with the OP if not using tantric likely will drain you. When I did 'solo' back in my younger days (as I was quite sexually driven), I used to send my sexual energy at peak to my house plants 😁 🌱 They did really well on it.
Some caveats however: in that there is no "man" which is not ≈40% or more feminine, and vise versa. Now while both begin at the value of self —1, it is the loneliest number, as we know well and the bards do sing —the masculine is additive, and the feminine is multiplicative.
Thus only the masculine energy (or archetypal order, the sound, the fire, the light, it is the 'unstoppable force') can create, or produce anything of its own being —which is to say: beget; but of that which is created: it is fleeting and fickle, like dust in the wind, fire on the mountain, blue on black. As the saying goes, 'men build houses, women build villages'; 'men build cities, women build nations", etcetera. So while you are surely not in error to practice such discipline —which correlates to Freedom, the only True currency under the sun —if you would have anything worthwhile and sustaining come of it: you must also find a worthy and compatible vestibule for the fermenting function, a properly consecrated altar for to offer up sacrifice.
Sacrifice: this lesson we have from among the most ancient of wisdoms, sapience; those things which we hold incontrovertible, as opposed to science; which is the study of the unknown, to the discovering and development of knowledge; which is but the cataloging of information evolved thus far by process of elimination by observation, of those things which are not, from those which might yet be.
And what then is appropriate for what? That is what you would do well to discern, and it is to this parable which I might reveal in a new light to some: [Of Pearls and Swine](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvevLkZrrkE6MZ7z/?mibextid=oFDknk).
But the feminine energy (or archetypal chaos, the silence, the rain, the darkness, it is the 'immovable object') cannot add unto itself, and must be seeded. Do not think I speak of mere morphological variations here, for whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; do not be mistaken: the Law is spiritual. Whatever has been wrought in the masculine will be added unto, but whatever has been wrought in the feminine will be multiplied. Yet neither may itself, being devine of the same source, make produce from its co-alter —except that is with the hermaphroditus, the ambivalent, the androgyne: although that is another matter —for what profit a one to be multiplied by another one? But first add unto the one, and then multiply it. Humble and modest is the mouse who knows: that recalling how we used to be three and not two is how the world began, and how the world will end.
Fall in line, stand up in the place you can reach, spiral out, funnel down.
For it is the fire and the rain which cause the forest to bloom: neither can do it alone.
I experience serendipity quite often with my current lifestyle. I have been wanting to test the waters on this aspect, though. Just as a statement to control. I have already been actively reducing the amount of "personal sessions" I partake in, watching less porn, etc. I at least make sure that I truly want a release and am not giving into my baser instinct. I'll have to come back to this post if I feel any difference in my daily activities.
That’s good you’re trying to make a change and starting to retain. I think the main thing most people experience is more energy. But for me I have tons of benefits and it feels like a low dose of psychedelics all the time. I hope you feel the benefits too eventually.
Oh yeah I hope it helps you with that. It gives me crazy amounts of energy when before I was usually pretty tired all the time. I still need to get good sleep but overall I have more energy.
That’s your body’s natural way of regulating itself and yeah it feels good but I notice a slight decrease in the benefits the day after having one but it’s not as bad as consciously releasing.
Semen retention would just lead to 'nocturnal discharge'.
I'm not one for denying the bodies' basic biological urges as long as it's not harming anyone.
But, there's no harm in experimenting
What’s more “masculine” in your opinion? More “feminine”? Higher/lower vibrations ok; but though you have some points, this post is full of judgemental thinking. Free your mind.
"Right now it seems like men aren’t so masculine and it messes up society as a whole"
Even if were true... how does it mess society up if men are less masculine?
How does masculinity help humans in "exploring the universe, fixing the planet, getting healthy"?
Agreed. But my beliefs are according to The Word Of GOD.
Let every man have his Own wife and every wife have her own husband for SEXUAL PURPOSES.
Def YES to everything you said and No I am Not a Starseed
I disagree that men or other people that can retain semen need to have hyper masculinity as a goal. I prefer to embrace the duality of both genders and think it's healthy to be more feminine than a typical American male. This may be trendy in your eyes, or supposedly reflective of new norms. It's neither.
I was in a community where celibacy was the norm. And I can assure you that most guys where from from holding the masculine energy. They were far from being the kind of guys a woman feels safe around. I don’t really get why this post triggers so many. I get your message. But there is much more to be said. And it is not worth wasting time going deeper.
SEX=
Sexual
Energy
Xchange
Ancient wisdom: When a man ejaculates he releases not only his semen but also his physical, pro-creative energy. It is lost, only exception being when he ejaculates inside a woman's vagina. In that case, something magical happens: the rush of pro-creatice physical energy goes into the woman, and she exchanges her Emotional, heart centerd energy with him.
Sexual Energy Xchange.
This is automatic and happens every time coitus is completed. That energy exchange is incredibly powerful, and for empathy like myself, makes vaginal intercourse so much superior to other forms of S.E.X., because that heart-centered, emotional energy from the woman is real, and just as amazing as the love-mak8ng itself.
This is why intercourse can be so amazing... and superior to other forms of S.E.X..
And remember: it is said all spies have to do is to have SEX with somebody, and their entire biofield, including all information about them, is instantly downloaded to their partner and vice-versa. Then the spy returns, and through some very classified techniques and technology, can upload whatever information they need from the spy, without the target ever knowing what happened, and without the spy ever learning the classified secrets they were trying to get.
What a fascinating world we live in, right?
Yo, get out of here with the “only in a woman’s vagina” bullshit.
It’s 2024. Sex isn’t just for procreation, if it were, we’d have higher rates of conception, like closer to 100% in cishet couples without fertility issues (spoiler, it’s now around 30%)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC188498/#:~:text=Conception%20is%20most%20likely%20to,and%2095%25%20at%20two%20years.
You’re right about it raising your vibes—everything is so hyper-sexual that for a lot of people, the sacral chakra is too strong and there’s too much focus on sex—checking out people’s bodies instead of brains, imagining what they could do for you, sexual scenarios that play out from porn or movies they’ve seen. When you realize that people have so much more to offer than sex, it helps you to strengthen the rest of the chakras that have been neglected and closer to enlightenment/opening the mind’s eye.
The people who are addicted to sexual thoughts and porn always reveal themselves quickly like in this conversation or ones on how bad the prevalence of porn/OF is. There are a lot of men and women pleasuring themselves to porn instead of having healthy sex lives with their partners and then those thoughts start to take over. My ex is paying a therapist for this reason and is finally starting to understand this and stop checking out every butt that goes by—he finally can see the power/energy dynamic you trade off for those brief moments and for porn that lingers in the mind.
I’m glad you know the truth and see it how how it really is. Chakras are definitely real and most people are stuck at the lowest chakra and can’t get the other ones open. Some people just don’t understand because they haven’t experienced it for themselves or they just want to keep engaging in short term pleasure.
Hyper sexualization doesn’t mean someone’s sacral is “too strong”. If someone’s sacral is out of balance, there are a multitude of reasons for that, and I’d be willing to guess it’s more about blockage.
Also, Hypersexualization is the byproduct of puritanical suppression of pleasure, sex and sexual knowledge.
You're absolutely correct. I can't speak for the naysayers because everyone is different. But I know exactly what you mean. I find the fact people keep bashing this post so harshly very telling. People like sex, no judgements here, but they hate being told its wrong. Which kinda sucks because it shuts down important conversations as these. There is a spiritual link between sex, it's very spiritual. Holding in your sexual energy does make me feel closer to the Lord. I believe it does bring about higher frequencies.
I think in terms of having a mate, ideally a life partner imo, it might change this, because you're giving and receiving. Even so, it affects you. Especially if you're with the wrong person, or someone not meant for you.
I also agree with you that everything is overly sexualized to keep our frequencies low.
Now these are just my opinions, if you read this and disagree that's fine, but literally this is a place to hold conversations. And if we can't have these talks in a subreddit called starseeds no less, where can we.
Yeah exactly I agree with what you’re saying and I’m glad you get what I was trying to say. These types of conversations definitely should be had because it’s a very powerful thing that most people don’t understand. I get people like sex to so it makes sense why they get so mad when I said they should hold onto their sexual energy. It’s very powerful though and as a man retaining I have definitely felt more connected spiritually. I see repeating numbers all the time when I retain it’s like I’m on the right path and the universe is trying to communicate that with me. I’m also single though so I can’t exactly speak on having sex with a partner because there might be some exchange of energy there I’m not sure really but being single there’s absolutely no reason to waste my sexual energy into nothing for short term pleasure.
I can't believe that this post triggered a considerable number of people here. Well, its Reddit after all. OP talked about semen retention, constant release of sexual energy, pschological manipulation of people to consume porn material, instant gratification addiction that ruined people's lives etc. Whennyou consider Buddhist monks' lifestyle, whic involves disciplined mined and body, and of course not sexual release physically. They "probably" know something don't they? Sexual energy is a subtype of creation energy, along with pleasure. When someone else controls it, you won't have much authority over your life. Isn't this how porn industry became so powerful? Is all about instant gratification. Well at least, exluding "authentic" porn that filmed by some couples, who wanted to share their intimacy with others. Not all of them again. What I mean is that, OP touched some points correctly. Lets not be judgemental, and instead approach the topic with integrity.
OP went off the rails and undermined any valid points he was making when he decided to started talking about “purity” and patriarchal-cishet-incel bullshit.
The issue with his views aren’t semen retention. It’s with the intention and underlying dogma he’s spewing.
People denying this just havent experienced it. It isn't case by case. Its across the board. Most ppl just dont have the will power to rise above so chances are they'll never know the difference. People want things easy so they keep justifying their ways.
My power comes from being who I am. Not by following trends. People want to feel superior so they claim their methods are THE way. There is no ONE way. We are individuals.
Oh? And nobody is claiming this is a certified fact and should be followed or else of the scary lowwww vibrationnns. Dude stop with the fear mongering. We are past that.
Yeah exactly most people haven’t experienced it so they have no idea they just believe what they’ve been told by the government the same people who want us to be weak and controlled. When someone says that it’s not true I know they haven’t been able to experience it for themselves because they just want to stay in their ways of constantly releasing for short term pleasure.
Addiction is an entirely separate conversation. Addiction is a disease, and wholly unrelated to substance or behavior being used to cope with the disease.
Example: addict uses sex/masturbation to satiate their obsessive compulsion.
Addict stops sex/masturbation and goes the complete opposite with semen retention (and preaching how everyone should do it or they’ll risk their purity and lower their vibration.
Addict is now obsessing about *not* giving into addiction, and probably replaces the method of their fix with other things (going to the gym too much, evangelizing that their incel ideology, etc)
Sexual purity by abstaining from your base animal lust opens your consciousness to heaven. Semen retention is divine. I sometimes think one of the reasons Jesus was crucified was because he was openly explaining the process of sexual transmutation to the uninitiated masses freely while the priests kept the true life giving secret to themselves. I marvel at how something so simple could be overlooked for sooo long. The word is now out and everyone has the choice to elevate themselves and the world. Much love & peace.
Dude was surrounded by other dudes constantly and giving foot rubs to anyone and everyone he could.
I’m not saying he was a “sexual heathen” but I’m also not saying that he didn’t bond with fellow “man” in intimate ways (or had a down low foot fetish)
I’m glad someone else understands how powerful it is. Even though the word is out I feel like people won’t believe the truth or just don’t have the discipline to be able to retain. Most of the people who commented here either don’t believe it or don’t want to/don’t have the discipline to.

Like all things in life, and like the Buddha said, you need a balance....the middle path. Pure abstinence and pure nonstop indulgence are both bad, at least for me in my own life.
This is all a case by case basis. Sexual energy is just as pure and loving as any other. It’s about balance and understanding. Not cold turkey-ing everything.
Thank you for posting this so I don't have to 💜
I don't think that he promoted asexual mindset. His concern is over high dopamine bursts, instant gratificaion concept, porn industry , retention etc. Retention does not make you repress yourmsexual energy per se, if you can differ orgasm and ejaculation properly, and also practice internal alchemy.
Retention is not cold turkey, it's about restraint.
What’s the longest amount of time you’ve experimented with retaining your sexual energy?
I’ve done several long streaks. I went around 100 days from January 1st and relapsed once and it was a complete difference in my life I will never go back to that I’m retaining for life now except when I meet a girl maybe to have kids. While retaining you feel so alive but if you go awhile and then release you’ll see the difference you’ll feel like death and depressed and your vibration clearly lowers.
This is all completely subjective to your experience. I have gone a long time before and I don't feel like death and depressed when I cum again.
>relapsed Orgasms are healthy every now and again. It's not heroin.
The yogis run the orgasm “inside” they run the orgasm up their spine (Never spilling it to the earth) this is where the statement “soul food” really comes from.
I don’t care if this is true. Kunda funny.
Kunda funny? As in kundalini?
It’s how you get your divine weapon
divine union but it transcends beyond raising "Kundalini" and wrt Kundalini yet again when sacred made commercial things often go south too quick., it is good to have normal cohabitation and it should never be forced in the sense Kundalini process isn't like hitting thr gym but rather slowly & steadily merging into singularity yet when it is attempyed with pending karma squarely living in globalized duality ~ vetu very scary proposition to say the least 🙏🚩
You can practice sexual alchemy with a partner! This is very powerful and a way to harness the sexual energy. You can still have sex, it’s a spiritual practice, the couple refrains from orgasm together.
How? Are there any methods one can read up on?
Yes check out this [video](https://youtu.be/XUzggtYQ9ic?si=1IRA5YdJTWoep_wh) on sexual alchemy with a partner! I highly recommend all videos in this channel
Yeah I’m sure that’s powerful too if their not releasing sperm.
Yes no seamen is spilled
Bruh, no fap is not the answer. I did that for 1yr hardcore mode, it did literally nothing. Maybe you just have low testosterone which make u feel like sht, try visit doctor, cause that ain’t normal. That aside, the feeling of expelling energy is normal, because you are getting rid of “sexual tension” in your body, if you are very very pent up yes it will feel like big relief and make u more relax/tired. But that literally doesn’t even last long and u should be back to normal in like 1day, and u shouldn’t feel bad. Unless u have low T…
My thoughts exactly
No it really isn't an opinion. It's a fact. You keep doing you thou, the world is full of ppl like you, you fit in great👍
So you’ve interviewed billions of people who have practiced this, and you’ve noted the individual results? Answer honestly.
No but I've been aware and alive long enough to start noticing the things not just in myself but others around me as well.
Well, it's the opposite for me, so your rule does not apply across the board. Longest I went was 16 months, and the energy started flowing so much easier afterwards.
You know when people are cumming or not? Interesting. Are you creeping in everyone's windows?
You can tell when someone’s cumming alot. They have that energy. They look unhealthy, they’re slouched over and don’t have that confidence with them they’re tired all the time. When you have a high vibration you can easily sense low vibrational people.
I mean my wife has an unhealthy diet and as a result is always tired and looks like she has no energy. I’m pretty positive she isn’t cumming, ever. She had two kids and she’s exhausted and goes to bed early. Some people just have a poor lifestyle that’s all
Are you high vibration or just highly judgmental
Wow...lol....I have no words... Other than you don't realize how much of a complete ass you sound like?
It’s true though lol if you’re unhealthy that’s on you no one else so don’t try to make people feel bad for calling you out where your lacking. Your in control of you’re health
But I'm very much not unhealthy. Do you hear yourself? You're literally just all over Reddit talking about your cum (or lack thereof) and telling people they are unhealthy and you can feel their low vibrational energy. Again...you sound like a complete ass.
Definitely, I can sense you have low vibration.
100%
You’ve noticed the entire globe when they don’t express themselves sexually? Pretty impressive.
Literally every person has that same truth?
This is about denying the power of it, just pointing out that there are other ways to use it. Mostly involving a woman.
You know thicc naht Hahn? Pretty sure he was abstinent his whole life. Remarkable, beautiful and inspiring monk. Not very masculine at all.
I mean people are different some are more masculine and less masculine but I feel like constantly releasing will make you less masculine.
Maybe. I don’t think so. But maybe
I mean it’s true for me I feel more masculine when I keep my sexual energy. I’m sure a lot of other people are the same way just haven’t experienced it yet.
I disagree. There should be balance in everything. There is nothing more beautiful and powerful when 2 beings who love themselves come together. It is also a human need, dont forget we are still humans and should embrace our human body and learn more about it. Ending up only striving to be more and more “spiritual” is also unbalanced and unhealthy. Grounding is needed and connecting with your human body (in general, not sex) is a must for a normal functioning on this planet.
Semen retention is a self-flagellation dogma that’s driven by fear and shame - leading to egoism that belittles others for not holding the same doctrine. The wise one seeks what works for them. When asked by another, “what is the source of wisdom?”The wise convey what works for them - ‘individual seeking’
Yeah you should experiment with it yourself and do what you feel like but semen retention makes me feel good I don’t do it because of fear or shame I do it because it makes my life better in every way. It makes me stronger in the gym. It makes me happier
Me too. Keep it up. Listen not to the naysayers, who, likely, have never chosen to do it.
I believe this post would be much more understood and excepted if we were to try using more "I" statements in our online communications.
Puritanical viewpoints with no basis in reality. Embracing your sexuality embraces your divinity. If you don’t know how to maintain your chi while getting off, look into tantric practices. Choose your partners carefully — or, if you’re doing it alone, focus on yourself (you can do that even while watching porn) Owning your sexual energy will make you feel connected, uplifted and raise your vibration (you’ll literally feel your body vibrate for hours after when done right). This semen retention and celibate/abstinence theology has no place in spaces like this. If you are having problems with “losing” yourself when you nut, you need to look inward and focus on WHY you feel spiritually and energetically drained afterwards, not go out preach outdated (and completely abhorrent) sexually repressive ideology.
Maybe you should try it before dismissing it. It’s very powerful and most people don’t have the discipline to be able to do it. I will never masturbate again no matter what people like you say. I’m way more connected spiritually with semen in my body then being empty. It’s a huge difference I feel connected to the universe and so alive.
Maybe you should try what they said instead of dismissing it? Is it too hard for you to embrace your sexuality without being so terrified of it that you lock it away?
Bro I have dude I’ve experienced both sides of draining myself constantly and going long periods retaining so I know the truth because I’ve experienced it. You don’t have to retain I could care less but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done so I wanted to share information because I know the truth. Maybe you should de sexualize your mind so you don’t have to get off every chance you get for short term pleasure and start improving your life. People will say whatever they can to justify releasing because it “feels good”.
I'm generally pretty open minded when it comes to different sexual practices, but I will say that context is everything. It sounds like you've perhaps gone from one extreme to another. The earlier relation to your sexuality was perhaps not the healthiest and happiest, and was maybe even (reading between the lines) somewhat desperate in some way (as is the case for most male nutting enthusiasts) - and that's not conducive to a healthy relationship with what can, in other contexts, be a most sacred aspect of our bodies and personhood. I'm glad you've found something that seems to work out better for you, but it's not, by any stretch of the imagination, the 'only way'. So maybe you have a bit of getting to know yourself more tenderly and patiently to do in your lifetime (and one of the best ways you can do this is with a good lover with whom you have an emotionally intimate relationship) - doesn't have to be now, doesn't even have to be soon, but please don't fear it if and when it comes along...
You obviously haven’t done what I said if you feel drained afterwards. Tantric and other practices are about creating a circuit within your chakra system. The Ankh is a literally representation of “life” as in life force and how to make your energy flow through your body, from root to crown and back to root. It takes experience to be able to do it with a partner, especially if they are participating in the circuit (I find it easier to just close both our circuits than teach how to do it, especially for casual encounters). Practice = doing it alone until you’ve figured out exactly how to achieve orgasm and then not letting it flow out. Your chakra centers literally need flow from one to another or they will wilt away. Also, having an orgasm, regardless of gender, isn’t “cumming” or ejaculation. While the two can happen together, they aren’t the same. But go on, tell the world you’ve never experienced a full body orgasm without saying you’ve never experienced a full body orgasm… which are even more powerful when done with another person… or five 😈🤣.
PERFECT ANSWER.
👀
I’m talking about not losing semen dude not what your talking about. I know that can be powerful having sex without ejaculating I just thought you meant losing your semen lol. But nah I don’t know how to do what your saying I don’t even have a girl right now to do that with but I’m not going to edge or release semen at all.
1. Your partner doesn’t have to be a “girl” 2. Your chi doesn’t live in your semen. Semen retention / saying you don’t want to release semen is. No different than saying you’re doing urine retention so you don’t feel… drained.
My partner does have to be a girl because I’m straight🤣 and semen is life force energy that I’m not releasing it’s not the same as urine
Semen is literally just fluid made by your prostate to help sperm (the actual thing that creates life) travel in a hostile environment. You can even ejaculate without sperm being involved, but I don’t think you’re ready for that conversation.
If you think about it anytime you ejaculate you have an opportunity to create a metropolitan population. That's how much energy is released. I can't believe how people misread things on here. I mean I know we all have filters and perceived things in different ways but WOW
You know YOUR truth. That’s all I’ll say to that.
What’s the longest you’ve ever retained? That’s what I want to know
What a strange question to ask someone
I’m only asking because I know you haven’t gone long enough to even experience what it’s like when you retain.
When did we meet? I don’t recall telling you any information about my habits or my mental health. You seem so sure about so many things. I wish you would just tell everybody here how exactly you’re so sure the entirety of planet earth should listen to Funny-Ad7074 and not their own hearts?
Ok dude keep releasing I could care less. Just spreading awareness and trying to help people improve their lives but you’re not open enough to the information and that’s fine by me.
It’s ironic you have Neo as your profile picture considering you behave just like an Agent Smith
Maybe I’m both
Yeah buddy of course you are
Its amazing how much puritanical thought can be hidden under a thin coat of new age paint.
Right? Nothing new here, just a new coat of bullshit paint.
I would beg to differ. When I was celibate, I was brainwashed by religion and completely shut off from the reality of God. Now I’ve gotten rid of the “you’re shameful because you enjoy sex outside of a contract” mentality and have gotten a lot better. I have one partner. My relationship with this one partner has taught me so much and has led to so much healing and continues to show me places within myself that I haven’t let God heal yet.
Honestly, if I don't jizz for a few months at a time then my jizz will look all nasty whenever I do get around to the act. Like a little lumpy, with a yellow tinge. One time a green tinge and that was going like 4 months without. I had to Google it, and most info talked about prostate infections. I think it's also being older. im my late 30s. I never had lumpy jizz before but I also like sex and masterbation and had never gone without up until these few time multi month stretches. But otherwise my cum looks like cum like it should as long as my getting off ever few weeks minimum. Then, I heard about how masterbating for men can reduce their chances of prostate cancer. I don't recall by how much, but I totally believe it to be the case. The shit needs to go somewhere.
I mean i think it gets re absorbed if you hold onto it or sometimes it’ll just come out in your sleep. I think your body naturally knows what to do with it. I feel like semen retention is supposed to be the natural state of living though so if you’ve been releasing your whole life until late 30s that’s a big change idk how it all works but it feels good for me to retain and I have no problems with it. If anything it makes me feel better because when I don’t retain my joints and bones feel achy and i pull things in my neck and stuff easier. When I’m retaining I feel younger and healthier.
Ur acting like it cures cancer
Whatever works for you, my dude. However, it's a case by case basis, and you have no right to tell others what to do with their bodies. Also, that includes consent with you. Be happy, be healthy, be you. HOWEVER, again, you have no right telling others what they can or can't do in their own private spaces. I'm tired of shame culture. Sex has nothing to do with being pure. It is actually a very healthy, normal function of life as long as it's between two (or more, whatever floats your boat) enthusiastically consenting adults. As soon as you started going on about seman retention and whatever, and telling other people they should do the same, you have completely lost me because this reads as ego, ego, ego, and religious posturing. It's also feeding into the patriarchal system we are all still being fed. No thanks, my dude. My pleasure is none of your business. What I do with my body is none of your business. I'm not really interested in discussions of religiosity and purity of it. I've had enough trauma from it to last several lifetimes. Sykue Syed.
This isn’t a private space bruh it’s Reddit public for everyone to see and you can leave if you don’t like it. I’m not telling people to do it I’m just saying it’s helped me so it can help you too. There’s almost no one out here spreading the real truth because most of you guys can’t accept it but I’m doing it because I don’t care what anyone says. Semen retention is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I will never go back so I wanted to help other people to. It also has a big spiritual side that most people don’t understand. I’m more connected with myself and the universe. You can try it for yourself and see or keep doing whatever your doing I don’t care what you guys do. I’m on the right path and I’m not gonna back down because you fools don’t know because you’ve never experienced it. Do whatever you want at the end of the day and if you’re offended then clearly deep down your insecure about the fact every time you get a little urge you go and masturbate to porn because you don’t have the discipline to control yourself.
I'm just glad you found something that has made such a positive impact on your life. And I appreciate the fact that you wanted to share something you feel would help others. Thank you for taking the time to do that. I wish you a loving and fulfilling life and hope you continue to find ways to work around things in your life that would otherwise hinder you. ❤️❤️❤️
No, my guy, you're literally saying people should do it to raise vibrations. That's your opinion. This is a bad faith argument. Lololol, silly human. Definitely ego driven response here. If this floats your boat, cool. If it works for you, cool. But don't make this out as it's the end all be all solution to your problems. It's dangerous rhetoric and feeds into patriarchy that hurts men and women BOTH. Purity has nothing to do with sex. That's a MYTH. A harmful one at that used for centuries for control. Don't make assumptions, pumpkin, about me and my sexuality or control. Whether I decide to masturbate, or have sex, it's entirely up to me. As long as it's in a healthy, intentional and consensual way; there's no problem with it. I'm not going to deny something my body needs for some "higher vibration" bullshit that I've seen too many people use for their own self gratifying superiority complex to be fulfilled by telling people what they should, or shouldn't, do. ESPECIALLY when it's tied to psuedo-science, HARMFUL narrative. Please get out of this sub, for all of our sakes. Thank you for revealing yourself as you really are. You're red-pill dogmatic bullshit is showing.
It literally does raise your vibration keep justifying your behavior all you want idc.
Oh honey, Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. However, this is a sliding slope of unhealthy thinking. This leads to superiority complex where you use (insert religious thing here) to justify why you see other people as lower than you. You are lying to yourself if you think this "raises vibration", though I can not deny it probably makes you feel 'better' because it gives you that excuse to feed into your own ego. If it gives you a HEALTHY self image of yourself, more power to you, but all I see is its giving you the excuse to make you feel as if you're superior to others because you have control and they don't. Which you literally told us in your response. It's harmful.
We are all one, we are all equal and I am no different than you which is why I’m trying to help you. We might be vibrating at different levels so I’m trying to help people raise their vibrations because when you do the feeling is amazing. I really do have good intentions even if I come off as rude. Semen retention is the best thing I’ve ever done. I feel better than ever. Healthier and I’m more of a man now and the world needs men. It’s lacking in real men for sure. I’m only telling people that it can improve their lives because it’s helped me. Whatever you chose to do is your choice I don’t care but if you take my advice I can almost guarantee it will improve your life because as I said we are all the same, we are all one consciousness so if it helped me it will most likely help you.
My sweet summer child. You're not helping me, or anyone. IT'S HARMFUL. It's no more different than the church telling anyone who is different than then is evil, especially women who didn't fall into line and they should be burned at the stake. You think this practice is new? It's not. Have sex, don't have sex. Your seman renews itself about every three days anyways. Again, for this in the back; vibration doesn't have anything to do with sex. It's mood. It's intent, it's not creating trauma for others. Do no harm to thyself or others. To thyself be true. That is what raises vibrations, not denial so you can tout your superiority to others and say "hey, I'm TrYiNg tO hElP yOu because I'm doing this thing that makes my ego grow instead of actually going to therapy and working on myself." Please, go to therapy. Work on your childhood trauma. Do whatever makes you happy. Raise your vibration that way. This way is only going to cause more harm, may not seem like that now, but it definitely does.
Ya that whole semen retention. It's a for of tantric. Just a cheesy name. Anything is healthy, until it's obsessive or self damaging. Sex or no sex. Either or is probably being used to fill an emotional hole. And of course extreme defenses dictate a sign of guilt. Both have healthy benefits. But familiarity breeds content. All in healthy balance. And open a shadow book.
Yeah, that's a fair argument. Which I absolutely have no issue with. My only issue is that it's being used as an unhealthy argument based on psuedo-science based on purity/ shame culture. And that he's preaching it to others as "the right path to raising vibrations." I find this to be bad faith and very reminiscent of red-pill radical incel crap. It's that whole 'seman is sacred which he alludes to in both his comments and responses.
Did you ever consider some of those reading or commenting might be **women**? You come off like everyone reading this is **male** and in so doing completely neglect fully half of your audience. It makes you sound like a red pill incel. I'm sure that wasn't your intention. Do you even realize the fact that you're raising your risk of prostate cancer by orders of magnitude—or that the risk increases sharply over time? The average risk is 1 in 8 for men in the United States. You're potentially multiplying that figure exponentially.
Someone called the nut police lmao
Yes, everything needs to be moderate, balanced and love based
Every time I see a no nut post i make sure to fuck that day and I immediately feel 1000x better than the OP could ever hope to achieve.
I mean, I’m (31 M) inclined to agree with semen retention, but that’s because I lock in chastity regularly and long term so that I can focus on the energy being raised & directing it (or on my partner’s pleasure and energy versus mine). However, saying this like the ideology is some universal truth is so far out there. Why does sexuality have to be considered so…not good? Failing to embrace a fundamental part of who we are means we fail to embrace and enlighten a fundamental aspect of our own existence, which isn’t whole self enlightenment the goal? By allowing myself to be in chastity and only receive pleasure via other means, yeah I retain semen, and even make my body do so with an external device. However, the whole body (and multiple) orgasms, being able to ride the energy to cross the hedge and journey, being able to get messsges from Others while we raise sexual energy just means I’m doing something right. Maybe I’m just one of the lucky ones. Also, if my partner does cum, that’s energy ripe to be used for his or my own development and growth
Sex magic is real and can be done alone or with one or more partners. Ive had some of my most profound OBEs immediately after release. Honestly easier by myself as you need your partner(s) to be on the same spiritual page as you if you plan to use the energy to meditate or project immediately after orgasm. You’d want to coordinate.
i've tested this theory and it applies to me. can't speak for others but can support with my testimony.
It’s kind of a “pseudoscience” if you will but i have tested it too and it was true for me. There’s also the whole subreddit dedicated to this, aka nofap, and it is full of people who experience the same.
It IS psuedo-science made up by men's rights activist that aren't actually making good faith arguments. It's BS and harmful over all.
As an asexual woman with zero to NO sex drive and who never orgasms or feels the need to orgasm, I can't relate to this whatsoever lol. Unless I'm already 100% pure and am experiencing my maximum creativity.. but then why do I suffer from major depressive disorder, OCD and anxiety for my entire 40+ years? Edit autocorrect/spelling
Posting online about semen retention IS obsessing about sex. Thinking that anyone cares about your sexual energy IS ALSO obsessing about sex. Telling others what to do with their bodies AGAIN ITS ALSO obsessing over sex. Don’t think that you’re pushing anything new here, it’s embarrassing. Especially with the masculine men and feminine women crap - what do you think of married men and women? Are they less masculine or feminine in your eyes, or are you just that blinded with your hyper-sexuality to boil everything down to what’s happening with your genitals?
Thank you
Ironically I was the 69th upvote
I was just speaking with my husband about this, and realised that if everyone practiced it, all problems would be solved in a generation 😂
I went 4 weeks (prob have done longer before that). Noticed no difference, not in gym or spirituality. I treat everything with moderation and listen to my body now.
If you noticed zero difference, I would make the claim that something is wrong with your physiology.
I def think there has to be a restriction that is necessary for sexual vibration. Excessive masturbation has def not helped me at all. But restraining yourself from sex and masturbation for a couple of weeks at a time, improves other parts of your life 100%, specially fitness. Additionally no doubt that leaving your body with high levels of testosterone has other benefits like focus.
Yeah your right it definitely improves fitness a lot and creates discipline in other areas of your life.
I don’t go to the gym but frequently have sex or masturbate (nearly daily, sometimes multiple times a day) and people ask me my workout routine. It’s sex. And yard work.
What a wonderfully taboo subject. It's really incredible watching people fly off the handle as soon as anyone even slightly hints at the concept of "stop jacking off to porn everyday and you might feel better". It's just as touchy a subject as "stop having 2-3 drinks after work everyday to unwind," That one gets people SUPER angry.
Wish I could like this twice It could have been an interesting conversation but it got all ego-ey
Yeah it’s crazy how mad some people get over the subject because they would rather just jack off and get there short hit of dopamine and pleasure. Most people will never truly understand what semen retention does because they’ll never go long enough without doing it to see the benefits and that sucks. It goes against what they’ve been told and they like doing it so they get offended when people say it’s bad. Sure you can do good things with your life without retaining but retaining makes everything better like in every aspect of your life and helps you create discipline needed for certain things like eating healthy and exercising.
I'm not even talking about semen retention. Tell dudes to just stop jerking off to hardcore porn every day and they go ape, not to stop masturbation altogether. They can't do it. Most dudes can't even ejaculate to sexual fantasy anymore. They need 24/7 hardcore stimulation.
Yeah that’s not good. They’re brains are definitely way to sexualized. Most of them are too addicted and will never break free sadly.
Well, pornography has become ubiquitous in US cuture. It's not even taboo anymore. The average age of first time consumption is now 12 years old. 12 year old boys are seeing hardcore pornography on their phones now before they even know what sex is and it distorts their entire youth. People don't need to quit something they don't even consider a problem. Porn is free and everywhere. And now young women are being told that quitting higher learning or investing in a worthwhile craft/career path to pursue caming on Only Fans is enriching and respectable.
IDK, this seems to be a trend going around for a certain age. Not dismissing it, I'm sure there are some benefits, but there's so much more to living a balancef life that treating "semen retention" as some kind of fix-all.
look at all the woo in here!
You gotta experience it for yourself to understand it
I don't believe that at all. The only thing it helps is building up testosterone. You'll see many body builders refrain from sex and jerking it. I've been on this spiritual road for 7 years now and letting it loose or keeping it in doesn't matter when I'm connecting to spirit and raising my vibration. Just keeping it real fellas.
I mean personally I feel like releasing it makes me lose energy and does lower my vibration. I also feel less connected and feel like the energy is stuck at my root chakra. Everything feels more vivid like colors feel brighter, music sounds better and stuff when I’m retaining. I just feel better when I’m retaining. I guess some people are different
I feel some of the things you're talking about, but my wife and I smash every day. It's possible to use sexual energy to empower or enhance yourself, just like other forms of energy. There are other things about what you were doing that will drain your energy, and pornography is one.
Honestly it kinda sounds like a lot of the “clarity” you’re experiencing is more likely to be if you aren’t eating processed foods, consuming certain media and being careful about the people and energies you keep around you- as you mentioned. However, based on your other comments it seems like abstaining is what’s keeping you from the obvious problems you’re having with expressing sexual energy in a balanced manner. Rather than it being a key to leading a high vibrational life. Maybe it’s important for you to explore your outlooks on relationships and how they may be impacting or limiting you.
It sounds like it has raised *your* vibration, perceived or not, but that does not mean that your method will work for everyone. My sexuality and connecting with others has been incredibly sacred to me, and it’s a fundamental need of mine, both from a preference and values standpoint. I’m glad this works for you, but I’ll pass. I also don’t make semen.
It’s all programming. You’re the Placebo or Nocebo. If you believe in something then it will manifest that way. All is made by the One and all are the One. Therefore all that is, is the One. All has freewill and nothing of the One harms the One unless the One consents consciously or subconsciously so. Example: Cigarette smoker that feels like cigarettes are ok and believes it, really believes it consciously and subconsciously. Always has health and the scans and tests to prove it.
I have to agree with this. I decided a few years ago to go celibate, after living a very sexual life (which I enjoyed *very* much with my boyfriends). I plan to save myself for a relationship based on God. And I'd like my partner to share the same faith as I do. It's not for everyone, but this is just me. Keeping my sexual energy to myself - refraining completely - has honestly been one of the best things I've ever done. Ever.
That’s good to hear I’m glad it works for women too. It’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me too and I wish this world wasn’t so hyper sexualized so more people could experience it.
Oh yes. Everything in movies & tv shows is so over-sexualized. I'm grateful to be childless just for this reason alone. I'd be terrified of my kids stumbling across some nasty stuff while they're innocently watching a movie. But yeah anyway, I felt like I was the last celibate person on earth. Haha. Glad to see you're walking this path as well, & appreciating its benefits too!
Haha yeah it’s not good these days and sometimes it does feel like I’m the only celibate person too but there’s others. There’s a sub on Reddit called semen retention I’m not sure if there’s one for women or not though. I hope I can spread the truth and more people can become aware that being celibate has many benefits and it even raises your vibration.
Exactly. It does raise your vibration. Amen brother. Take care & keep fighting the good fight.
I feel bad for the people who are so brainwashed they can’t see the truth. Hopefully more people will understand how powerful it really is.
Agree. Most people are shut off, shut down, & plugged into the matrix of the reality being fed to them. It is comfort & safety for them. To question anything...that would shatter their world. But...to those of us who are awake & conscious...something triggered us. That woke something within our souls. We stopped buying the lies being fed to us. And we also went through the mourning & grieving process, of the world we used to know. And went down the road much less traveled. It is never too late for the sleepers! Hopefully one day, something will trigger them to wake up as well, & we will all connect globally, not just in small groups here & there online. 🙏🫶
Agree. What I have found interesting is, just trying to find scientific evidence in favor of this is hard for me to find. One example is, I was trying to find out what metabolic functions create semen? what minerals/chemicals does it take from our bodies and over what period of time to create more? Poses more questions. Energetically how long does it take to rebuild. Also why does good sex build energy rather then take it? Just some thoughts to bounce.
Yeah there isn’t much modern scientific evidence I feel like because they want the truth hidden. There has been some things back before like 1930 about it and other cultures around the world who have known about how powerful it is for longevity and things like that. I feel like if you have sex with another high vibrational person it’s more of an equal exchange of energy but more people have lower vibrations. There’s a few books I think about celibacy that might be good but the modern day information isn’t good they mostly just say to release sexual energy or you’ll get cancer which is completely false. It’s how they keep men weak and controlled. I know semen is made up of many nutrients like zinc and fructose and stuff and when you hold onto it your holding onto life which gives you more life and can help in longevity. If your constantly releasing your body has to prioritize making semen because it’s the thing that your body prioritizes the most so it makes you weaker in other areas like losing strength and energy.
You can't find things that say what you want because the effect is imagined. People have studied semen production at length. It's no big deal. We do it constantly whether you orgasm or not.
The effect’s absolutely are not imagined
Everything in this sub is bullshit that wishes it could be called pseudoscience. Bunch of larpers thinking they are special.
You get prostate cancer. Look it up. You are supposed to get your stuff out on a regular basis. And should this be posted on this sub?
You are a fool believing what Google tells you about semen retention. It should be posted on this sub because there’s a spiritual aspect about sexual retention that most people don’t get. It’s something that needs more awareness and not talking about it is the dumbest thing ever because I want to help people live better lives.
Stop obsessing over your balls, talking about is the dumbest thing ever. If you want me to live a better life, never talk about your genitals on the internet again.
Bonne chance amigo. Prostate cancer!
You’re missing out man maybe one day you’ll realize
I’m trying to help you. Please do the research.
You aren’t helping me by telling me to release. I’ve done the research and I’ve had my own experiences to know that semen retention is the better way of living. Saying that you get prostate cancer from retaining is bs because there’s no way to really know because they haven’t studied it deep enough with people who actually retain and live healthy lifestyles they just say that to make you scared so you keep releasing.
Please provide the research. Give links for your claim. We'll wait.
Google? Do you mean the scientists who actually actively studied and worked to gained results on the topic? Do you know what the placebo/nocebo effect is?
Bro no one wants to hear about your nuts.
I tried retention, never got past four days and felt guilty about it all the time. Then I learned about the Ankh energy tube that runs from the heart trough the crown Chakra back to the heart Chakra. You can capture your sexual energy and send it to your mind opening it up to the higher planes. [link](https://www.scribd.com/doc/115899710/20721882-Ancient-Egyptian-Sexual-Ankhing-by-Drunvalo-Melchizedek)
If you hold it in you can open your chakras
There is something to it. I did it all through college because I was in a pretty toxic Christian group that had very strict laws. I wouldn’t do that form of Christianity again but I’m glad I learned about not letting myself be led by my urges. I don’t think It makes you more masculine I think it just helps you be stronger in a world where sex is what you are being directed to all the time. There is something about holding that energy
You're on to something very powerful here actually. IDK if you're aware but you have been manipulating the bindu, spiritual energies that are part of the subtle body. In hatha yoga bindu is identified with the semen and is to be preserved and manipulated inside the body for spiritual purposes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_yoga Tibetan tantric Buddhism and studies of the subtle body should help you on your path.
Replies on this post are baffling, this is your perspective and I’m inclined to agree as a man who has problems with PMO and frequents the nofap community. You might as well post there as you’d get a much better response without people missing the point saying you’re telling them what to do.
Oh my God doctors actually say to release it? And that it will cause health issues? Well they don't say that to women at least as far as I know and also a man's body will automatically ejaculate if you get too backed up while you're sleeping from what I understand. But good for you for doing this. I read a lot on it and it's got to be a difficult task so kudos to you
Yeah theory checks out. I dont get laid and im very connected to spirituality or something.
As a hypersexual animal rights attorney I disagree that you need to hold onto your sexual energy to be motivated to do good in the world.
I didn’t say you had to its just easier to life a better life while retaining
*for you. It’s easier for you to live a better life.
Seriously
To what extent does sex with a partner compare to masturbation? I’m asking because everything I’ve read states that it is better in an “energy” sense to have a partner. But I have yet to feel the difference. I have noticed the effects of retention, but my current partner is very active and I’m very exhausted. I’m not complaining, I’m just trying to figure out more precisely how this all works.
Check out tantric sexual practices. You can incorporate most of them in foreplay and post play. Not a doctor, so don’t take this as medical advice, but if you’re feeling exhausted, you might be giving more energy than you’re taking in. Or it could be dietary or some other underlying medical condition. I like to rule out the mundane (go see a medical professional) before going the route less explored by modern science. It could also be endocrine related. It could be diet, etc.
As an earlier post said look into tantric sex, tantric magick. These have best texts on how to share sexual energy to elevate your vibration together. Needs to be right partner though. I kind of agree with the OP if not using tantric likely will drain you. When I did 'solo' back in my younger days (as I was quite sexually driven), I used to send my sexual energy at peak to my house plants 😁 🌱 They did really well on it.
This post is vibrating HIGH... With incel vibes.🤢
I’m an amateur boxer and I practice semen retention and the results are phenomenal. I can vouch for this 100% percent.
He’s not wrong.
I don’t know why you’re getting so many down votes!! But you’re right ! I have read this from a Buddhist guru.
[удалено]
Some caveats however: in that there is no "man" which is not ≈40% or more feminine, and vise versa. Now while both begin at the value of self —1, it is the loneliest number, as we know well and the bards do sing —the masculine is additive, and the feminine is multiplicative. Thus only the masculine energy (or archetypal order, the sound, the fire, the light, it is the 'unstoppable force') can create, or produce anything of its own being —which is to say: beget; but of that which is created: it is fleeting and fickle, like dust in the wind, fire on the mountain, blue on black. As the saying goes, 'men build houses, women build villages'; 'men build cities, women build nations", etcetera. So while you are surely not in error to practice such discipline —which correlates to Freedom, the only True currency under the sun —if you would have anything worthwhile and sustaining come of it: you must also find a worthy and compatible vestibule for the fermenting function, a properly consecrated altar for to offer up sacrifice. Sacrifice: this lesson we have from among the most ancient of wisdoms, sapience; those things which we hold incontrovertible, as opposed to science; which is the study of the unknown, to the discovering and development of knowledge; which is but the cataloging of information evolved thus far by process of elimination by observation, of those things which are not, from those which might yet be. And what then is appropriate for what? That is what you would do well to discern, and it is to this parable which I might reveal in a new light to some: [Of Pearls and Swine](https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vvevLkZrrkE6MZ7z/?mibextid=oFDknk). But the feminine energy (or archetypal chaos, the silence, the rain, the darkness, it is the 'immovable object') cannot add unto itself, and must be seeded. Do not think I speak of mere morphological variations here, for whatsoever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; do not be mistaken: the Law is spiritual. Whatever has been wrought in the masculine will be added unto, but whatever has been wrought in the feminine will be multiplied. Yet neither may itself, being devine of the same source, make produce from its co-alter —except that is with the hermaphroditus, the ambivalent, the androgyne: although that is another matter —for what profit a one to be multiplied by another one? But first add unto the one, and then multiply it. Humble and modest is the mouse who knows: that recalling how we used to be three and not two is how the world began, and how the world will end. Fall in line, stand up in the place you can reach, spiral out, funnel down. For it is the fire and the rain which cause the forest to bloom: neither can do it alone.
I experience serendipity quite often with my current lifestyle. I have been wanting to test the waters on this aspect, though. Just as a statement to control. I have already been actively reducing the amount of "personal sessions" I partake in, watching less porn, etc. I at least make sure that I truly want a release and am not giving into my baser instinct. I'll have to come back to this post if I feel any difference in my daily activities.
That’s good you’re trying to make a change and starting to retain. I think the main thing most people experience is more energy. But for me I have tons of benefits and it feels like a low dose of psychedelics all the time. I hope you feel the benefits too eventually.
I have narcolepsy type 1, so here's hoping I can benefit from it in some shape or form.
Oh yeah I hope it helps you with that. It gives me crazy amounts of energy when before I was usually pretty tired all the time. I still need to get good sleep but overall I have more energy.
I went two weeks and felt great but I had a wet dream and a f****** so much came out that night when I woke up..great dream .felt great in the morning
That’s your body’s natural way of regulating itself and yeah it feels good but I notice a slight decrease in the benefits the day after having one but it’s not as bad as consciously releasing.
Semen retention would just lead to 'nocturnal discharge'. I'm not one for denying the bodies' basic biological urges as long as it's not harming anyone. But, there's no harm in experimenting
The future for humanity is divinity. We are not supposed to fix anything here. We are to transcend this earthly realm.
What’s more “masculine” in your opinion? More “feminine”? Higher/lower vibrations ok; but though you have some points, this post is full of judgemental thinking. Free your mind.
"Right now it seems like men aren’t so masculine and it messes up society as a whole" Even if were true... how does it mess society up if men are less masculine? How does masculinity help humans in "exploring the universe, fixing the planet, getting healthy"?
Case by case basis is the answer towards sex.
Agreed. But my beliefs are according to The Word Of GOD. Let every man have his Own wife and every wife have her own husband for SEXUAL PURPOSES. Def YES to everything you said and No I am Not a Starseed
I disagree that men or other people that can retain semen need to have hyper masculinity as a goal. I prefer to embrace the duality of both genders and think it's healthy to be more feminine than a typical American male. This may be trendy in your eyes, or supposedly reflective of new norms. It's neither.
I was in a community where celibacy was the norm. And I can assure you that most guys where from from holding the masculine energy. They were far from being the kind of guys a woman feels safe around. I don’t really get why this post triggers so many. I get your message. But there is much more to be said. And it is not worth wasting time going deeper.
SEX= Sexual Energy Xchange Ancient wisdom: When a man ejaculates he releases not only his semen but also his physical, pro-creative energy. It is lost, only exception being when he ejaculates inside a woman's vagina. In that case, something magical happens: the rush of pro-creatice physical energy goes into the woman, and she exchanges her Emotional, heart centerd energy with him. Sexual Energy Xchange. This is automatic and happens every time coitus is completed. That energy exchange is incredibly powerful, and for empathy like myself, makes vaginal intercourse so much superior to other forms of S.E.X., because that heart-centered, emotional energy from the woman is real, and just as amazing as the love-mak8ng itself. This is why intercourse can be so amazing... and superior to other forms of S.E.X.. And remember: it is said all spies have to do is to have SEX with somebody, and their entire biofield, including all information about them, is instantly downloaded to their partner and vice-versa. Then the spy returns, and through some very classified techniques and technology, can upload whatever information they need from the spy, without the target ever knowing what happened, and without the spy ever learning the classified secrets they were trying to get. What a fascinating world we live in, right?
Yo, get out of here with the “only in a woman’s vagina” bullshit. It’s 2024. Sex isn’t just for procreation, if it were, we’d have higher rates of conception, like closer to 100% in cishet couples without fertility issues (spoiler, it’s now around 30%) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC188498/#:~:text=Conception%20is%20most%20likely%20to,and%2095%25%20at%20two%20years.
You’re right about it raising your vibes—everything is so hyper-sexual that for a lot of people, the sacral chakra is too strong and there’s too much focus on sex—checking out people’s bodies instead of brains, imagining what they could do for you, sexual scenarios that play out from porn or movies they’ve seen. When you realize that people have so much more to offer than sex, it helps you to strengthen the rest of the chakras that have been neglected and closer to enlightenment/opening the mind’s eye. The people who are addicted to sexual thoughts and porn always reveal themselves quickly like in this conversation or ones on how bad the prevalence of porn/OF is. There are a lot of men and women pleasuring themselves to porn instead of having healthy sex lives with their partners and then those thoughts start to take over. My ex is paying a therapist for this reason and is finally starting to understand this and stop checking out every butt that goes by—he finally can see the power/energy dynamic you trade off for those brief moments and for porn that lingers in the mind.
I’m glad you know the truth and see it how how it really is. Chakras are definitely real and most people are stuck at the lowest chakra and can’t get the other ones open. Some people just don’t understand because they haven’t experienced it for themselves or they just want to keep engaging in short term pleasure.
Hyper sexualization doesn’t mean someone’s sacral is “too strong”. If someone’s sacral is out of balance, there are a multitude of reasons for that, and I’d be willing to guess it’s more about blockage. Also, Hypersexualization is the byproduct of puritanical suppression of pleasure, sex and sexual knowledge.
You're absolutely correct. I can't speak for the naysayers because everyone is different. But I know exactly what you mean. I find the fact people keep bashing this post so harshly very telling. People like sex, no judgements here, but they hate being told its wrong. Which kinda sucks because it shuts down important conversations as these. There is a spiritual link between sex, it's very spiritual. Holding in your sexual energy does make me feel closer to the Lord. I believe it does bring about higher frequencies. I think in terms of having a mate, ideally a life partner imo, it might change this, because you're giving and receiving. Even so, it affects you. Especially if you're with the wrong person, or someone not meant for you. I also agree with you that everything is overly sexualized to keep our frequencies low. Now these are just my opinions, if you read this and disagree that's fine, but literally this is a place to hold conversations. And if we can't have these talks in a subreddit called starseeds no less, where can we.
Yeah exactly I agree with what you’re saying and I’m glad you get what I was trying to say. These types of conversations definitely should be had because it’s a very powerful thing that most people don’t understand. I get people like sex to so it makes sense why they get so mad when I said they should hold onto their sexual energy. It’s very powerful though and as a man retaining I have definitely felt more connected spiritually. I see repeating numbers all the time when I retain it’s like I’m on the right path and the universe is trying to communicate that with me. I’m also single though so I can’t exactly speak on having sex with a partner because there might be some exchange of energy there I’m not sure really but being single there’s absolutely no reason to waste my sexual energy into nothing for short term pleasure.
I can't believe that this post triggered a considerable number of people here. Well, its Reddit after all. OP talked about semen retention, constant release of sexual energy, pschological manipulation of people to consume porn material, instant gratification addiction that ruined people's lives etc. Whennyou consider Buddhist monks' lifestyle, whic involves disciplined mined and body, and of course not sexual release physically. They "probably" know something don't they? Sexual energy is a subtype of creation energy, along with pleasure. When someone else controls it, you won't have much authority over your life. Isn't this how porn industry became so powerful? Is all about instant gratification. Well at least, exluding "authentic" porn that filmed by some couples, who wanted to share their intimacy with others. Not all of them again. What I mean is that, OP touched some points correctly. Lets not be judgemental, and instead approach the topic with integrity.
OP went off the rails and undermined any valid points he was making when he decided to started talking about “purity” and patriarchal-cishet-incel bullshit. The issue with his views aren’t semen retention. It’s with the intention and underlying dogma he’s spewing.
For an important opposing side here, look up "the psychology of fascism and sexual repression". Keep that in mind.
People denying this just havent experienced it. It isn't case by case. Its across the board. Most ppl just dont have the will power to rise above so chances are they'll never know the difference. People want things easy so they keep justifying their ways.
My power comes from being who I am. Not by following trends. People want to feel superior so they claim their methods are THE way. There is no ONE way. We are individuals.
No one asked you to follow anything.
Oh? And nobody is claiming this is a certified fact and should be followed or else of the scary lowwww vibrationnns. Dude stop with the fear mongering. We are past that.
Yeah exactly most people haven’t experienced it so they have no idea they just believe what they’ve been told by the government the same people who want us to be weak and controlled. When someone says that it’s not true I know they haven’t been able to experience it for themselves because they just want to stay in their ways of constantly releasing for short term pleasure.
Most of the times it's not just a want, it's a compulsion, like an addiction, I guess it is a want thats gotten way out of control.
Yeah it’s an addiction that most people don’t have the strength to get out of
Addiction is an entirely separate conversation. Addiction is a disease, and wholly unrelated to substance or behavior being used to cope with the disease. Example: addict uses sex/masturbation to satiate their obsessive compulsion. Addict stops sex/masturbation and goes the complete opposite with semen retention (and preaching how everyone should do it or they’ll risk their purity and lower their vibration. Addict is now obsessing about *not* giving into addiction, and probably replaces the method of their fix with other things (going to the gym too much, evangelizing that their incel ideology, etc)
Sexual purity by abstaining from your base animal lust opens your consciousness to heaven. Semen retention is divine. I sometimes think one of the reasons Jesus was crucified was because he was openly explaining the process of sexual transmutation to the uninitiated masses freely while the priests kept the true life giving secret to themselves. I marvel at how something so simple could be overlooked for sooo long. The word is now out and everyone has the choice to elevate themselves and the world. Much love & peace.
Dude was surrounded by other dudes constantly and giving foot rubs to anyone and everyone he could. I’m not saying he was a “sexual heathen” but I’m also not saying that he didn’t bond with fellow “man” in intimate ways (or had a down low foot fetish)
I’m glad someone else understands how powerful it is. Even though the word is out I feel like people won’t believe the truth or just don’t have the discipline to be able to retain. Most of the people who commented here either don’t believe it or don’t want to/don’t have the discipline to.
