I was telling my friend about the amazing joys of NoFap. My friend told me that semen goes out the urine anyways so its not as big of a deal as I was making it. Obviously I feel more energy not masturbating, but yet, that statement made me ponder. How much semen really goes out when one urinates? Does this even matter when it comes to sexual transmutation? Thank you, Daithi P.S. Awesome if one could find the science in this. Edit: Another thought that just came to mind. How can one lower semen waste in urine? Would edging or karezza create more semen waste?
When I was like 12, I used to think semen and urine were the same thing. This is before I started P or M, of course. Since then, I have never heard of this being a serious issue, but that doesn't mean it isn't either... I'd be interested to hear some more informed opinions. Oh, and OP, I love your profile photo.
The main thing is about not being obsessed about women and objectifying them. That reduces when you don't masturbate about them. It doesn't really matter then where the semen goes but obviously a lot stays within the system as you don't loose energy like you do when you masturbate. That is my experience.
The main issue is not whether you're releasing semen in natural ways - such as urine or wet dreams or some such (none of which warrents reset). It's not an argument that you might as well then masturbate, since you're going to release anyway. The argument fails because unlike natural release, mostly unconscious and unintentional, masturbation is quite deliberate and intentional and accompanied by constantly reinforced fantasy and pornography which wires the mind in destructive ways, causing problems in a normal sex life or in a chosen life of chastity, whatever may be your path - nevermind the lack of self-control; the depression and guilt; the wasted time and energy; the oversaturated, drug-addicted brain on dopamine; the self-absorbed, reinforced immaturity; the losing of confidence and stanima, etc. etc. Hence, it may be wiser to let nature take it's course without assisting it or trying to stop it, thus intensifying the very vice you're trying to give up in the first place.
it's about the neurological wiring and chemicals released in the brain during viewing porn or masturbating. none of this is happening when you go to the bathroom......
According to Dr Tissot, a 19th century celebrated physician, in his book called Onanism, that only happens when you're too deep in the masturbation vertigo, when you masturbate like 2 times a day. Normally, or when it has been long since you masturbated, that won't happen.
