13 Life-Changing Semen Retention Benefits
Semen retention benefits all levels of your personality — physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual
Semen retention sounds like an odd and weird practice.
Especially when you think ejaculating when you have sex is natural. And if you use ejaculating to fall asleep at night or relieve tension.
There are 13 life-improving benefits to semen retention.
The benefits will be your ‘Whys’ for doing a semen retention practice.
Mastering the 4 pillars of semen retention will ground you in the practice. But first, understand the benefits.
I came across the practice of semen retention through yoga and doing a number of neo-tantra courses.
At first, doing semen retention was like this weird novelty. I have always liked experimenting with different things. Most things I don’t continue with, however, this wasn’t the case with semen retention.
Why?
The benefits were huge and life-changing.
While it took time and effort at the start, over the years, it has become easier. And the many benefits permeate every aspect of my life.
And they will for you too.
1. Powering up: boosting your energy to new heights
The biggest reason for me doing semen retention is for the conservation of energy.
After 3 weeks of doing semen retention 17 years ago, I noticed a significant increase in my energy levels.
Yes, I was more powerful.
I was waking up full of energy. During the day, I felt more powerful in my actions.
Don’t take my word for it. Reflect on your own experience. What happens to you when you do ejaculate?
You immediately want to sleep. It completely drained you of energy straight after you ejaculate. Then, when you do eventually wake up, you are feeling drained.
Your virility and masculine energy have left your system.
You are stuck in bed or lying on the couch, incapacitated because you have released your seed and lost the associated energy.
When you don’t ejaculate, that energy remains inside you and can be used to carry out your life’s purpose.
2. Get ready to experience more sexual pleasure
When you don’t ejaculate during sex, you can maintain your erection. Being able to maintain your erection enables you to have sex for longer, thus increasing your sexual pleasure.
From practicing ejaculation control, I now experience whole-body orgasms. Meaning the orgasm energy is not just located around the groin area. The whole body is engaged.
While it’s hard to explain this, you feel different sensations exploding inside the body in different areas of the body. This mainly happens in the trunk of your body.
Also, the orgasmic energy sometimes will move through my body in a wave type of experience. This wave of energy physically moves my body in a wave formation, starting at my toes and the energy rolls through to finish at my head.
3. Increase your partner’s pleasure
When you last longer or don’t ejaculate during sex, your partner will have more pleasure.
Instead of you and your partner only having sex once. You will now have sex with her multiple times. Enabling her to experience multiple orgasms.
This will deepen your connection and intimacy. Moving sex from a physical act to lovemaking.
4. Health and immune system boost
When you ejaculate, various chemical reactions take place in the body. Some effects you are aware of immediately.
But others aren’t so obvious.
Immediately after ejaculation, the body releases high levels of prolactin into the bloodstream.
A literature review by Dr. Peter J. Snyder found high levels of prolactin in the male body are:
- Interferes with the function of the testicles, leading to a decrease in energy, sex drives, muscle mass, and strength.
- Difficulty in maintaining an erection.
- Infertility.
Zinc magnesium and calcium are important minerals in sperm.
A study by Biologist Ali Fallah from the University of Mazandaran in Iran found that zinc plays a vital role in supporting the production of the hormone testosterone and healthy prostate function. The study also found that zinc plays an important role in the quality of sperm and fertilization.
Another study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutritional in 1992 found that a loss of semen in young males did lead to a “short-term zinc depletion in young men.”
Low zinc levels in men cause:
- Hair loss
- Lack of alertness
- Weakening of the immune system
- Irritability
- Impotence
- Lethargy
A study conducted by Alexander E. Omu at Kuwait University found support for low levels of zinc playing a role in premature ejaculation.
Other negative side effects of low zinc are:
- Inhibits testosterone production, causing erectile dysfunction.
- Stunted growth.
These are vital minerals in a healthy, functioning male body. When a man ejaculates, these minerals are lost.
5. Taking control: ditching pornography for good
Learning the 4 pillars of a semen retention practice enables you to manage your sexual energy. Thus enabling you to be in command of regulating your sexual arousal level.
Being the master of your sexual arousal level and that you aren’t ejaculating, porn is no longer a consideration.
Your internet porn assumption will naturally drop away.
6. Study finds testosterone boosts physical performance
As you hit that 30–50-year-old bracket, your testosterone levels plummet.
One of the many semen retention benefits is an increase in testosterone levels. This has been found in various scientific studies.
There are devastating effects on the male body and mind with low testosterone.
Besides erectile dysfunction, low T levels can be linked to:
· Low mood and energy levels.
· Weight gain and man boobs.
· Loss of motivation for life.
· Decrease in muscle mass.
A reason for the deceased testosterone could be due to when you ejaculate, it converted a portion of your testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol, which are less active forms of testosterone. By retaining semen, the body may be able to maintain higher levels of testosterone for a short period.
When you can keep the testosterone in the body, you have the experience of feeling more masculine.
The way this power manifested for me was by taking control of my career, by being more assertive and being more proactive at work.
7. Unleash your inner confidence and achieve your dreams
With internal power comes confidence. You will now have the power to assert yourself confidently in the world. Whether that be with other males or females.
8 . Harnessing emotional strength
As you tap into your internal power from semen retention, you may find that you develop a greater sensitivity towards your emotions.
This heightened emotional awareness can allow you to experience and process feelings in a more profound and meaningful way than you previously could.
It might enable you to tap into emotions that you were not aware of or couldn’t access before, perhaps because you were suppressing them or could not simply perceive them fully.
By delving deeper into your emotional landscape, you may gain a more nuanced understanding of your inner self, your needs, and your relationships with others.
9. Sense of achievement
When you practice semen retention, you may experience a sense of achievement and empowerment that can help you navigate the world with greater purpose and focus.
By abstaining from ejaculation, you can harness your sexual energy and direct it towards other areas of your life, such as work, fitness, or creative pursuits.
This can lead to a greater sense of productivity and accomplishment as you become more attuned to your personal goals and aspirations.
As you cultivate a deeper sense of self-discipline and control over your sexual impulses, you may find that you are better equipped to overcome obstacles and pursue your ambitions with greater clarity and conviction.
Ultimately, the sense of achievement that comes with semen retention can help you lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
10. Self-acceptance and Self-love
Self-doubt can arise from premature ejaculation and not being able to satisfy your partner. As you are not ejaculating and you learn how to manage your arousal level, these concerns are removed.
With these concerns removed, you can recognize and focus on who you are as a man without judgment.
11. Superior will power
One aspect of semen retention is managing your sexual arousal level. Being able to manage your sexual arousal level enables a loosening for instant gratification through reading an orgasm and losing your semen.
This increased willpower will translate into other areas of your life. You will no longer be a slave to your emotions.
12. Sky-rocketing creative abilities
“Fortunate, indeed, is the person who has discovered how to give sex emotion an outlet through some form of creative effort, for he has, by that discovery, lifted himself to the status of a genius.”
— Napoleon Hill, Chapter 11 Think and Grow Rich
Sexual energy is a powerful life force that can have a significant impact on an individual’s creativity.
Sexual energy stimulates the imagination and leads to new and innovative ideas. Enabling you to think outside the box and explore new creative paths.
13. The power of spiritual development
Being a more powerful man allows you to focus on the investigation of the question, “Who am I ?”
This question is at the heart of all the great religions and philosophies.
The reasons being your time is better applied to carrying out spiritual practices, the loss of energy affects carrying out higher duties, and thoughts directed to God are more beneficial than lustful thoughts chasing ejaculation
What I expressed are the semen retention benefits from my 17-year practice. The only way to experience these benefits is by starting a semen retention practice.
