What I've learned from 30 days of Pure Retention

    I went 30 days of Pure Retention No wet dreams/PMO/MO
    I know 30 days is a small number but here is what I think

    1. There are NO benefits of SR
    Girl attraction- no I got rejected , everything seems fine. Nothing unusual
    2.There are
    disbenefits of too much MO or 1 PMO
    Energy drain
    feeling sad
    loss of libido
    too much lust
    Unable to Focus
    Distracted .
    All of this are disbenefits of PMO/MO abstaining from it gradually makes your life better it has little to do with Semen Retention.

    3. I guess the only benefit of Semen Retention is a clear mind, free of lust and purity. Again you can say that engaging in sexual activities gives you an unclear mind and full of lust.
    4.Transmutation doesn't work
    Yes, transmutation isn't the way , at least for me. I have gone many days on Pushups/Meditation/Reading and lots of activities , but sadly was unable to go on a longer streak. The answer is in thoughts. If you remain pure in thought , SR is easy even if you lie down doing nothing for weeks. Controlling your thoughts is the key to SR. Sometimes Bad dreams may come , you must learn to control them .



    For those who believe semen retention has "benefits" please explain how is it that not-doing-something has benefits t=rather than having disbenefits from-doing-something
    like MO.

    There are many posts and testimonials how SR improved their life.

    Well, no PMO or SR is not working for everybody. I think you are one of them.
    But at least you have tried it.

    I hope you make real NO PMO. That means also no edging, no Porn and no erotic pictures via instagram.

  5. I can actually relate on this. Most of the morning and afternoon I am waking up, most of my thought's are on the day and doing what is right for my life. I can get threw the mornings, afternoons until about 3 in the afternoon when I head to my room. This is when my thought's start to lurch around. "You rang??" Especially until dusk. I do pray and I believe it helps, but it's a struggle for my will to keep pure of mind since there's bad around every nook and cranny.

    I get a wet dream every 5 days, and I cannot avoid them.
    Even if I keep my room cool, or sleep on my back, or wake up before 8, they always come.
    How can I avoid them, and how can I prevent them?
    I want to stop having wet dreams, too much semen wasted, that I can use for my well being.
    Thanks in advance.

  8. Boy,
    find out more about the benefits here in my thread.

    BOOK ABOUT CELIBATY WAY TO PEACE POWER AND LONG LIFE

    There you have it, and if you do exactly what is written here, you will speak differently. What do you want to achieve in a month - super power? That women run after you?
    You have to work on yourself for months and years and practice Brachmacharya .....
    not a month ... so miserable

    That’s too frequent fra. Make sure you aren’t drinking too much before bed, and empty your bladder before sleeping. Get up in the middle of the night to pisciare if you must. Full bladder makes wet dreams much more likely.

    I said I was wrong and made a new thread.
    I do get wet dreams but control them somewhat , I rarely actually get them and ejaculate . Actually I consider it a relapse for SR.
    Its because 1.Bladder 2.Lusty thoughts or 3.Your not doing anything that consumes energy and thoughts 4.Physical Exercise

    In addition to what ''It is Finished'' said, i recommend:

    1)Try sleeping completely nude. The pressure that pants put may make wet dreams more likely to happen.
    2)Dont eat before you go to sleep. At least 5 hours.
    3)Search for foods and drinks that prevent wet dreams. You should make ''experiments'' to see which food or drink fits better for you(for this particular purpose).
    4)Try to minimize sexual thoughts and stop watching sexual videos and pictures.
    5)Also make ''experiments'' by doing hot & cold showers before you go to sleep to see if something of these two( hot or cold showers) helps you.
