    Hello Brothers & Sisters

    I hope i reach you all well.

    I have recently passed 250 days of semen retention. I promised myself when i first started on August 23rd 2022, that i would give back to the community on my journey. I had told myself that i would make a post on the 250th 500th 750th & 1000th day.

    So lets begin. I started PMO at the age of around 15 having heard about how to do it from a friend in a passing conversation. That day started my love affair & addiction to PMO. Now as i write this i am in my 40s. In all that time, i never correlated that my poor position in life was down to doing this bad habit i had gained in my teens. I just never connected the dots.

    Some time in 2022 i came across some literature that suggested PMO was bad for your health. I thought thats got to be a lie. I remember reading biologists & health experts in my youth who recommended masterbation as a way of doing a natural deed, a normal part of a persons life. So thats how i viewed it.

    Then in a conversation with a female friend last year, she mentioned that masterbation was bad & something people shouldnt do, which i listened too but politely disagreed. From that day on, it was like a higher power was pushing me to find out about PMO and its affect on the body. As i dove into the rabbit hole it become obvious that maybe i was wrong. Then i looked back in my life. In 2008 while staying overseas for 6 months I didnt PMO once. A 6 month streak even though i didn't even know what semen retention was. That was the best 6 months of my life. Then again in 2020 while overseas i went 3 months without PMO again, i felt fantastic. Slowly like the detective at the end of Usual Suspects it dawned on me. Unknowningly, while on Semen Retention, i had the best times of my life. Wow. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I spent the next few days gathering information, researching hours & hours a day non stop. Then it hit me, i had messed up my life because of this one habit i didnt even think was bad.

    I am in now way successful. I have flittered around job to job. Never secure in anything. A deadbeat you could say. A deadbeat who would PMO nearly everyday.

    I felt disgusted. I thought why didn't i figure this out earlier. It was staring me in the face the whole time. I immediately stopped. The first 5 days was tough. It was a reflex action, while being on my phone to look up porn. That had to stop. I was done with it. FINISHED.

    Instantly i had more energy after 10 days. I was like YES!, this is working. It gave me courage & the confidence to continue. Over the 1st month, i had realised that even if i did make the mistake to watch porn, even though i wouldn't masterbate, i felt like it took my energy. Then i realised i had to guard my thoughts. The times when i went super strict was the best i ever felt. I found you have to keep yourself busy. I put my screen on GREYSCALE which helped tremendously. It made me not want to use my phone as much. It worked. Weeks went by and it slowly got easier and easier.

    My first real goal was to reach 100 days. Everything about me started to slowly change. My senses, my walk, my skin, my relationships, my confidence, my luck ... Everything. It was subtle but it was noticeable. I was liking the new me. I wasn't going to turn back.

    Then i came across a few people on YouTube (Vigor Warriors, Ceaser, Ancient Archives) they really helped me on my journey. As well as this website and forum. Also to the person or people who created this platform, Thank You. You are helping people in an honourable and courageous way. Maximum Respect.

    I have now slowly turned my life around, i am now close to securing a new start in life career wise. I have the unshakable confidence that i will succeed in life as i have now found my purpose. What i want to do until the day i die. I feel blessed.

    All this in 250 days. Incredible. My routine consists of cold showers while listening to Motirversity on YouTube. Motivational videos that i highly recommend listening to while in the shower/bath. Start your day off right and in a positive direction. Followed by a 10 minute guided breath meditation.

    If i could give some advice, it would be to never entertain a Negative Thought in your life. Think Positively. That is what i have found to be the KEY TO LIFE. If you can truly manage that, you can manifest anything you want in life. Master Key Society is a great YouTube channel that narrates life changing books for FREE, I recommend Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard. They have plenty more to help reboot your mind and gear it too finding your true purpose in life. We all have one.

    I hope some people finds this helpful, like i found the stories before me helpful. I fully believe in EVERYONE who reads this that they have the conviction & fortitude too lead a productive and wholesome life.

    I am sending you Positive Vibes as you read this. Even though we have never met, I Love You.

    Sincerely

    ASB6
