retention

I feel like NoFap has become more difficult for me in the last 6 months. I have become so fixed on it that I got upset with myself over small mistakes. Paradoxically it means that I now need to learn to not fixate on my mistakes in order to get back on my path. NoFap was easier before I realized...

I'm going to discuss about the importance of acceptance & surrender and how expectations make you weak & drift. Also, how the sexual energy's potential works in different levels and its link to your greatness.

In week 5 of no masturbation, I haven't so much as looked at my nether regions in the wrong way. I've had 8 involuntary ejaculations while sleeping in this time period, today being the latest. This is not my first rodeo with nofap so mentally and hormonally it wasn't anything I didn't expect...

im going on my second semen retention cycle now, last one was 80 days , I didnt fail or anything , it was a conscious decision, I just stopped seeing the benefits , and really had to stop for a couple weeks to realize how shit I felt when masturbating. During nofap I had a couple wet dreams ...

I've been spewing way too much energy in semen over the years. I turned 22 years old this year. A typical ejaculation has about 2 teaspoons or more. That is at least 0.0026 gallons. On average I've wasted about 3 ejaculations of semen every day for about 11 years. 3 times a day, 365 days a...

Hi there, I'm really sorry if this has been covered before in depth, but there is a sense of desperation from me here. I have been practicing not looking at P for a couple of months now. However I have experienced 2 nocturnal emissions during that time. They do not destroy me like the PMO...

The practice of transmutation is so powerful a force that I now believe it is not taught to people on purpose. These past 30 days have completely changed my life forever. I've never gone this far meditating and semen retaining. I've had a couple wet dreams (I reset the counter for wet dreams)...

Currently my streak of no pmo is 112 this isn't my longest day streak but it's one that I've taken everything I've learnt from all my failure streaks and I really believe I am on the life long path of retention now. about 4 times I've experienced nightfall during this current streak. not the...

So i started my journey with the 100% intention of going full no PMO. Thats proving challenging, however, not for myself. Is anyone here married? and if so , what strategies do you use to stick to the plan?

This is a serious post... and this forum appears to be the most relevant to post it in... If I am wrong I'm very sorry and I will post it elsewhere. I tend to wear clothing that I feel comfortable in, however, I'm noticing a distinct trend that if, for example, the fabrics are too comfortable...

Hi community, i'm on a +100 days streak, hard mode The last time, during my frist reboot streak of almost 150 days, i had different wet dreams (starting around day 70) This time instead, no wet dream, no spill or something like that. Is it safe to hold semen for so long? Should i "need" a wet...

I’ve been meditating since 2016-2017. Started out going threw a chakra healing camp online which really helped and having a photo on my phone that reminded me of the aura each day. Further more I listened to meditation tracks by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson in Delta, Gamma, and Alpha waves. Highly...

i dont know what it is that its leaking, but something certainly sticky is leaking. I dont know if its sperm semen precum or if its another fluid. Im on nofap for a few days now and usually i would have a wet dream on 10th day of nofap. Now this time i was able to subconsciously control my wet...

I had a porn addiction beginning from the age as early 8 years old, I believe. It was only the late Spring when I had taken the idea of NoFap and abstinence from PMO seriously. Although I was exposed to pornography at a very young age I had discovered that my urges towards imagery are much...

Day 67, it's been literally a week since I started feeling like shit, literally. No will to study, some constant brain fog (not like the one you feel when on PMO habits) I still go to the gym but still feel not so energized by it. Sometimes I fail reps. Also, I am feeling like crap, even if I...

Hello fellow INTJs, and anyone else reading this. As you may have guessed, I am an INTJ. I decided to write this because I want to help my fellow architects find their way out of this abdominal addiction as I did. I have laid a roadmap below that I followed to free myself. We often like to...

As the title says, I am currently on Day 89 of retention. It has completely changed my life. I won't go into too much detail here because there is a lot, As well, I left some benefits out that had to do more with outside interactions such as social anxiety and magnetism. This will be a long post...

First off, I want to thank everybody here for their support and vulnerability to share their stories here. Even though we are connecting only through the Internet, we still can strengthen and empower one another to achieve great things and abstain from PMO. I just passed the 100-day mark. My...

Potent males are the opposite of impotent males. Thus I've coined the new term for the energy we salvage via nofap. Potent energy. (someone might have used this term before, if so, all similarities are accidental) Think about the title, potent energy. The semen we waste has the capability of...

Hello friends. I have been having dreams now non stop for 4 days in a row. Two days ago those two where wet. Just wondering if any tips on reducing the intensity of these dreams or avoiding them. And also when did people start noticing the dreams reducing frequency. I have been wearing loose...

Hello everyone, i practice semen retention to be disciplined and have a clear & motivated life. it started as a way to get over porn & sexual compulsivity but now i quite like the spike in energy. (trigger warning) anyways, im doing hard mode no PMO and last night i was having sex and my...

I have been on PMO For 30 days today I see so much benefit even now in the early stages Im very bummed out because today I had a nocturnal emission and woke up 10 seconds after it happened to feel very ashamed of myself, I will NOT give up now and In the past I had issues withporn use since a...

lt is not our fault if we fell into PMO. It is the system that wants everyone addicted to something, to be weak and thus easy to control. But often happens some people once they start to hit the road of enlightment they start with those ridiculous speeches about women trying to steal their seed...

Hello Rebooters, In the absence of discord servers which encourages a strictly focused scientific view on retention ,I founded Rational Retention discord server with the idea of collectively collaborating facts ,information,strategies and of course all around science that backs up the idea of...

Hey guys, i'm on 60+days of nopap and my body didn't expelled during the night any sperm until now. this is a sign that my body re-absorved the sperm and the nutrients ? I also didn't had wet dreams during this time. If my body re-absorved the sperm and nutrients until now, it's a sign that my...

Greetings NoFap community, What a terrible thing porn is. I feel as though it had a firm grip on my well being, affected through an actual grip on my penis, for the better part of my life. Since age 11 I had been watching porn frequently, it was very much a part of the culture for boys of my...

So few days back, as usual i couldn't sleep at night though i did read lots of stuff around the internet and some really good articles regarding nofap which helped me vanish the temptation completely for atleast 2 hours then when i finally got on bed and still couldn't sleep so i got on my phone...

DAY 1 I am an addict. I am so much into porn and masturbation that I have lost my confidence and now feel very low. I have no friends, in simple terms, I just cut off myself from the rest of the world. so my social life is totally dull. But, I found about nofap and I thought maybe I still got...

Hello guys, I'm a 22 yo single male studying for a Master's in computer science. I do not watch porn however I find myself lacking energy/motivation. I was thinking it might be linked to the fact I masturbate every few days. In your experience, do you think nofap could help me become more...

:emoji_confetti_ball:FIRST THREAD ON THIS FORUM EVERYBODY:emoji_confetti_ball: With that out of the way, I just wanted to say that I made it all the way to day 45 WITHOUT EJACULATING in what was my third attempt without counting my consecutive relapse cycle. I think what helped my prevent...

I very rarely allow myself to ejaculate. I practice Semen Retention, mainly due to my fear of climaxing and I believe you feel so much better when you retain your seed. I have never had a wet dream though, not that I know of anyway.

I am addicted to at least 10 years, and then I decided to practice nofap, and along the streak, I realized how much my mind is destroyed, in these 10 years, several things happened, relationships that didn't work out, death of loved ones, good people I stopped relating to, moments I stopped...

My fellow fapstronauts, I am 26 years old. I have been plagued by the malignancy of PMO for almost half of my life. I am very keen on improving myself and seek ascension. Today I am on my 140th day of no PMO, which, by far, is my longest streak (I had several streaks before, 120 days being the...

Just had my first relapse after my first week of abstaining from PMO. Felt normal and pleasurable. Shortly afterwards everything down there slowly started to burn. Tried to urinate to flush it out which felt good but right after it felt as if I didn’t void completely and I began feeling like...

Hi everybody, I'm 32, I have started nofap after having problems to get an erection twice with a very hot and young girl. It has been almost 4 months since I started this challenge and I have been through a lot: mood swings, flat line, relapses, days with very strong erections and days without...

Hey, I've seen a fair bit of stuff going on lately about how good meditation is on NoFap and how it translates sexual energy or some shit. I don't know how to meditate, do I close my eyes and imagine stuff, what's the most effective way of mediating on NoFap?

I’m a 21 year old, extremely athletic, lean, healthy eating (vegetarian), handsome, all you can think of, but I have a problem. I recently got a hotel with my girlfriend off campus and we tried to have sex for the very first time and I could not maintain an erection. I get erections regularly...

I have that ambition of mine to be a motivator. To be leader and influencer. To influence everything I touch to grow. I believe in every single one of you that you have the ability to change your reality for the better. Here the main thing is discipline and focus. Let those two words form you...

Hello Everyone, After having followed nofap for more than a year, this is my first post, so I'm quite nervous haha! I'll try to keep my post short and crispy. ;) A quick background story: I'm 25, I've been watching porn daily since I am 14 years old, and stopped porn since 6 months ago (with a...

Hello, everybody. How you doing? What are you up to? I'm a youngin' from Europe (22 years young) and my mother tongue is not English. Here I am, because I wanna talk with you about a lot. IT is already day 26 of semen retention for me. That's it retention, I feel no addiction to porn, even...

Ive been heard by several motivational speakers in various mediums like book, youtube, audio books e.t.c.. But one thing is common among all of them.. everyone is suggesting people to set an appropirate goal.. yes that overall sounds good.. but my question is, is that creating any limit or...

Im following abstinence from watching and listening to several songs, youtube shows and obviously TV shows.. hence ive concluded that binge watching really ruined my life, also ive got so much addicted in course of years!.. so now im in retention over watching entertainment content such as...

Well ive been following abstinence over several things (almost relative with internet and entertainment). Ive met infinite obstacles and challenges for falling asleep or trying to not procastinate when ive been engaging with all the nasty videos in my youtube recommended section! (yes...

Hello everyone! You can call me Hector (Oh wait, do we do first names on here? woops). Anyways, I'm sure there are like a million Hectors out there, so Hector it is. I am a soon-to-be high school grad about to enter college, and my purpose for being on here is that I don't want my potential as...

Hey Guys, I am on to my 2 month of semen preservation and suddenly today when I went to pee, I felt a different sensation inside me that felt like semen is about to come. And finally when I pee ed, it actually came out like 9 to 10 drops of thick white liquid. Will this effect loss of my...

I’m new to NoFap to support my partner who has struggled with porn addiction in the past. He hasn’t watched porn or masturbated in a very long time and our sex life seems healthy to me. But he’s a firm believer in the physical and mental effects of abstaining. He now wants both of us to go nine...

Hey folks, Just posting to ask if anyone here has had any experience with Karezza between two guys. I understand that Karezza (slow, gentle, habitual, nonorgasmic, spiritual intimacy between partners) is such a niche subject already, so to find information for gay men is even harder. Even...

Hi Guys I have been practicing Semen Retention for many years. However, I still sometimes look at porn and edge, which I want to stop. I have found huge benefits from retention, in fact I feel amazing for it. Would be interested in chatting to others who are practicing this. Damon

Hi everyone, I have a question: is semen a factor in the muscle growth ? In that case how it influences it ? I need and answer cause I'm praticing street workout for more than 2 years and I finally found my perfect way of training a month ago, but still no progress and during this 2 years I...

Hey all. This is something I have been wondering about since the beginning of my nofap journey. Is it OK to go back to masturbating? There is a saying which is very true on life and that is "everything in moderation". So I am wondering, if a couple months or years down the line, can I go back to...

I'm currently reading this book called 'Brain Gain' recommended to me by a friend, and it's just mind blowing! I never knew the benefits of semen retention and the amazing things it can do. It's amazing to see how a lot of great philosophers from all parts of the word were actually celibate and...

This is a guy who has amazing dsiapline when it comes to absinence. Teaches to retain and achieve orgams without release. He' been training people for over 40 years and has over 100k students and supposibly a few hundred practitioners. Has anyone followed his practice ?
