    Ok. I need some science behind this semen retention thing that makes you attract more girls. Really, shed me some light here cause I'm sceptical about this.
    I've read plenty of posts before writing this down, where they said 'You have more chance in finding a girl who likes you' or more exaggerated 'Once you abstain from pmo, you're a chick magnet.'
    And that's as far as they can go without giving a brief explanation because 'It just happens'.
    Come on, there's a whole lot of factors before saying semen retention gets you the ladies.
    Maybe you're naturally good looking, have clear skin, face complexion, confidence. The list goes on and on..
    I think I'm good looking, I've been called cute (told from friends) in both occasions where I was in and out of pmo, and I do get looks from girls.

    Somehow I believe it, not entirely but most of it. Could be that it boosts our image and extra confidence, look more appealing, and better body smell?
     
  2. girls like a dude with confidence, ambition and initiative -- abstaining from PMO will give you better confidence, ambition and initiative. more prudent though, I think girls are especially unresponsive to guys with poor drive and confidence, so really abstaining from PMO will make you as naturally attractive as not doing it in the first place would have, which word on the street says is pretty awesome. porn is an anchor and chicks can sense that shit like a damn bloodhound

    My ex did noFap for approx 7 days. During that week his voice was no high pitch anymore, he was much much more manly, first time in life I could feel he is not shy, but there is smth generally sexual about him. As before every time he got aroused he ejaculated (as he did it many times every day), I guess when you stop releasing this sexual pressure, it stays in you and girls could feel, that there is SEX. I don't know if the difference is so obvious to noFap guys, which before are used to masturbate only once a day.

  4. When one has not ejaculated for longer time the body starts to do everything to attract a mate. The body releases pheromones. Those are hormones secreted through sweat that sends signals to opposite gender that there is potential mate. Females can sense this unconsciously so they become more attracted to you. They are not aware why it is so, but they are simply being drugged by pheromones you release. On top of that your body also releases and increases production of many other hormones in your body that is supposed to motivate you to seek mate. Those things increase your confidence, increases courage, etc. You are being drugged too. When one ejaculates frequently to masturbation/porn/fantasy the body gets fooled that is is having real sex and shuts this system down, cos it is not needed.

  5. It's likely hormone related. Our sex drive is designed entirely around reproduction, so the most eligible male or female to us is always the one with the most potential to reproduce. Higher volume of sperm (from semen retention) and higher testosterone levels == higher chance that unprotected sex will lead to conception. So how on earth could anyone know about all this? Simple of course, pheromones as Shugi Shugi pointed out above. Pheromones are affected by your testosterone levels and how sexually ready you are, and so can instantly signal to people in the area that you're extremely potent and fertile.

    I have observed said effect and it's definitely pretty crazy. If you haven't noticed it yet. Do at least 2-3 weeks of NoFap, then go clubbing. Prepare to shit brix.

    increase in self-confidence, no more "passion cycle" side effects, becoming less shy and self-reliant....its not about semen retention I think, its avoiding depleting your energy.
    Of course retaining semen means no masturbation....no orgasm...
    Orgasm creates the "passion cycle" or orgasm hangover in some people...

    I'll be honest with you, I'm a bit put off by the cult-like things on this forum sometimes (it doesn't help that I'm an atheist). A lot of people want you to believe that you're gonna acquire superpowers after abstaining for x amount of time (hell, they even explicitly call it 'superpowers'). I do think there is something to it though, but it obviously doesn't have to do with 'magic' or whatever mystic thing people want you to believe.

    (I promise this story has a point related to your question) I play a lot of league of legends and used to be challenger/master tier (if you aren't familiar with the game, it means I'm really really good at it). I used to coach people and make a decent living off of it and something I noticed were these micro-decisions that lesser players would mess up. I think if you haven't fapped, you start making different decisions and all those small decisions combined may increase the chance of you getting noticed by the opposite sex. To give you an example, before I started nofap a couple of days ago I would often start my day by immediately fapping upon waking. After I stopped doing this I now have +30 minutes in my day because I'm not spending that extra time in bed. Just an example.

    Like everyone above has mentioned, it is not about the actual retaining of sperm that is magically going to turn you into a chick magnet, however there is some suggestion that the sperm does reabsorb back into your body after a certain amount of time of no emission. Please, I am not 100% sure on this, but I would imagine that semen must be quite a "powerful" substances filled with great amount of protein and the idea of that being reabsorbed into your bloodstream or whatever could only mean you're gaining some valuable nutrients from your own body. Perhaps that is why sex is also such a powerful feeling - there has got to be just a little something special about sperm if it means it helped in creating:). Also there is studies that also suggest how beneficial semen is for the well-being of women.

    In short, the retention of semen, reabsorbing back into your body, could have great benefits for your personal well being, hence why you may gain some confidence:)

    I don't think so. When I relapse I almost always eat my own sperm and I don't see any magical powers on me. XD Sure, it is full of "good stuff" but volume of it is so small, it doesn't really matter at all.
    Abstaining from fap makes you feel proud about yourself(yeah, you did it, youre the boss now!), it makes testosterone level to spike for a few days(it spikes after 4 days, then it drops down) and you also get genuine horny and sexual. Women are subconsciously attracted to confident, sexual men, because being sexual means you have more potency(more likely to have kids) and being confident means you actually know what you are doing in your life and so you are more likely be able to provide for your family (her and her kids).
    There is really no magic, it's just psychology and prehistorical natural selection.

    Well when you EAT it, it goes straight to your STOMACH and then digested. I never said anything with certainty just that there may be some correlation between personal well being and semen reabsorption: http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/questions/question/2470/. But thanks for taking the time to disagree on my entire post even though we both fighting the same cause...

    Sorry for being so skeptical, I'm trying to fight perfectionism but sometimes I can't help myself :]
    I looked at your link and they said that semen gets reabsorbed just like other cells in body. i.e. blood cells. I donate blood and don't feel any confidence lost after loosing 1/2 liter of blood. And if you compare 1/2 liter to 10ml of sperm....

    This is all about breaking Guilt/gratification circle. Lets keep it simple a please don't make any "woodoo magic mystical cult" out of it.

    No PMO = more confidence, self-esteem, and positive energy. When you stop, you tend to take care of yourself better. You are not lazy anymore and do more things that your body likes. I think that's what semen retention does and women are attractive to confident and well-maintained men. Also, sports players practice semen retention before a major tournament for vitality.

    i think i agree with you, reabsorb the sperm because you do Nofap doesn't make you more confident. its just side effect, just the last collateral effect from your doing. when i did fap, i wasted 1-3 hours to PM, so when i do noFap, so what happen with my 1-3 hours? i do something or i sleep, and sad to say, we cannot sleep all day, minimum sleep is 3-4 hours in a day and sleep more than 8 hours is not healthy. So i do something, now i try to learn other language, do a daily workout, visiting a new places etc... do something useful make you proud of yourself. confident is when you feel better (proud) about yourself.

    you improve yourself everyday, sometimes we show off about it or we need something new to do, meet new friends because of that, more socialize with the other, improve your socialize skill and your mindset, you have more control in life, the peoples think good about you, and you meet your woman and if you don't meet your woman yet, join more clubs or organizations or anything, its make you have more higher chance because you meet more peoples.

    so there is not like self-satisfaction doing like PM in your life, PM makes you easier to satisfied, tired. when you satisfied. we don't do anything, and no changes happen, you are trapped with the boring life and in the end, feel depressed. and when you are depressed, you are stress, and your body changes with the stress. (the bad changes~)

    haha it's all good man. I don't know if magic or biology correlate but I am really not making it out that way if BIOLOGICALLY your semen does break down and become reabsorbed back into your body, nor did I state that this is the set-in-stone reason as to why you will have more confidence - hell that is rather silly. I am just trying to make the point that perhaps the break down of valuable nutrients could lead to greater personal well being to your body which could extend to further avenues in your life like less stress, greater mental clarity which could all affect confidence. It becomes a knock-on effect.

    But you're 100% right dude. The fact that you don't waste your time fapping is the main reason why we feel good about ourselves and that is the greatest knock-on effect we can ultimately have. You should read up on Lecithin and learn that the only 2 areas in your body that contain this substance is your brain and otherwise found in semen. You cannot simply disregard your own body as "voodoo magic" because at the end of the day you can only do things and reason according to what your BRAIN (body) can provide for you.

    These are not set-in-stone notions but just food for thought. Go well mate.

    I gotta say the "law of one" and pheromones.

    Reason being my social media GOES HAM with lovely women in my inbox or already existing ones in my phone. Just saying. Pheremones can't be felt over the phone or internet...energy can. Just my 2. Have MANY ACCOUNTS of this.

    Also..being able to walk into a room and feel almost godlike? The women are staring and don't even realize it,can't help it..i call it(deer in the headlights) the men are bowing to you basically? Head nods and wanting to socialize with YOU...i figured out a long time ago its almost impossible to keep to yourself when you have those positive vibes radiating(why would u want to)?? People react. Its insane but 100% true for me in my case. You become a magnet for your deepest experiences and interactions. Crazy synchronicities.

    Which makes me wonder..semen retention vs. Being in a relationship and losing that JOOSe. Cause I was in a relationship for 5 years and got nowhere near those benefits personally. Im realizing On my journey ejaculation is bullshit. Balance in all things....God-speed to the God-seed.:cool:

    And I know eventually my comment might come off woo woo magical but its entirely factual,so to those that have something negative to say will be ignored and receive a "LIKE" for trying. :rolleyes:

  19. At first I thought it all is just scientific due to hormonal changes and stuff. But more I learn about it and more I observe the more I also seem to think that there is more to it than what science alone can explain.
    My theory is that this energy thing works very much the same as gravity does. Things with less mass will be pulled towards things with more mass. And the more matter an object has the more mass it will have, hence creating bigger gravitational pull. Matter is simply dense, concentrated energy. So more energy we accumulate bigger gravitational pull we have. And everybody with less sexual energy/life energy/Chi force than us will be attracted to us because of it. So in a way we maybe do become magnetic, quite literary.

    I haven't looked at it in that light..but I do see you've seen a difference since MAY so there's that! (=
    Elaborate further as well

    I see it as sexual energy,which creates presence. If you'll notice,the lion wears the mane,not the lioness. Yet he accomplishes all of his endeavors regarding a mate. he simply lets his "beauty" and sexual charisma speak for itself(mane) Regarding dogs..yes. Dogs...they stay celibate almost the entirety of their lives yet they also have no trouble finding a mate/pheromones etc. Why would it be any different? Sexual energy runs this world,everyone knows that....lets just rise and use it to our advantage!!!
