Semen Retention Practice v NoFap
I prefer semen retention over NoFap.
With semen retention, there is a focus on deepening and exploring your sexual energy. Semen retention is seen as one aspect of your life.
NoFap is dropping all sexuality. You give up masturbation and porn. It lacks teachings around managing and embodying your sexual energy.
NoFap can help you focus on other aspects of your life. But anger and frustration can skyrocket as you don’t know how to manage your sexual energy.
You may get trapped in the NoFap forums with participants that are obsessed with counting days of not watching porn. But plagued by your dreams and are sexually repressed.
A semen retention practice teaches you to manage your sexual energy, where your Point of No Return is, and increases your connection with women.
A semen retention practice is something to can be merged into your lifestyle.
30-day challenge
Start by setting yourself the intention that you will complete the 30 days.
To complete the challenge, you will need to learn the fundamental pillars that make up a semen retention practice:
- Use various techniques to manage your sexual energy.
- Know your Point of No Return.
- Bring your partner on the journey.
- Resolve any emotional traumas that are released.
This can be an important practice, even you if you commit and complete one 30-day cycle of semen retention.
On the last ejaculation before stating the 30-day challenge:
1. Evolution–Your procreation job is done. Or so your body thinks because you have ejaculated. Various neurotransmitters are released and your body is relaxed to the point of needing to sleep.
2. Tension — You lose your erection for an extended time. This can last for days with some men.
3. Productivity — You are not at your peak due to a huge amount of energy being lost. Because you ejaculate so often, you don’t even know that you are in a low-energy state. It’s just become the norm.
4. Ejaculation hangover — Whenever I wake up the next day from ejaculating, I feel like a bus has hit me. Similar to but different from when I used to drink excessively. The brain fog descends. I prefer to switch on the TV rather than go for a run. Motivation is at its lowest.
1–7 days of semen retention
Toward the end of the first week, you can expect:
- Homeostasis — Your body will come back to a more centered position. There will be more motivation, energy levels will come back, and there will be more clarity.
- Practices — You will need to refer to your semen retention practices (above) to integrate the energetic changes that are taking place to avoid sexual frustration taking place.
- Cognition — Mental clarity will increase.
- Change in the body — The first signs of your body feeling different will take place.
- Sex — may find it easier to control energy.
8–14 days of semen retention
If coming into the 30-day challenge, you have been ejaculating a few times a week, week 2 can be difficult. While you will not be suffering from the DTs, you will need to have some self-compassion this week.
Out of all the weeks, most practitioners find this the hardest.
What you can expect:
- Pressure — Sexual pressure may build up this week if you haven’t done the practices correctly. Refresh yourself over the practices. Do the micro orbit during the day, even when your sexual energy has taken hold of your body. You need to move the sexual out of the groin area. Alternative practice yoga, qi gong, or going to the gym or a run can help.
- Will power — Confirm your commitment to lasting 30 days without ejaculating. You have made a promise to yourself. See this time through to the end. Confidence comes from accomplishing goals.
- Integration — Sexual energy will only be integrated into the body through the practices. Studying and learning them.
- Radiate — In public, others will start to notice you and see you are more attractive. Your attention will be focused and you may attract new opportunities.
- Sex — If you are in a relationship. Continue to talk to your partner about the commitment that you have made to the 30-day challenge. Talk to her about the benefits to the relationships and how much better the sex will be when you are the master of your domain. Don’t go anywhere up to the PNR. Because this week your energy will be supersensitive.
15–21 of semen retention
What to expect from the 3rd week of your practice:
- Power — Your internal power emanates from your body. You will feel the power in your body and your bones. Your body will feel heavier and more solid. Any spacey and disconnection from your body is melting away. You are now drawn into your body.
- Alignment — There is a gathering alignment in your life towards your goals. Power comes with mastering your sexual energy. You are in control and have a choice over what you want to do and don’t want to do. You are aligned with your purpose.
- Leaking energy — You will look to cut out those things that no longer serve your highest purpose. Pornography, staying up late, eating junk food — you level up in all areas of your life.
- Perception of other people — You will now see women as people and not sex objects. You appreciate a woman’s softness, quirks, and gifts. You no longer look to take from women but enjoy the warmth that arises emotionally inside yourself when you interact.
- Presence — You stand in your power. You look to make things happen and not react. A victim mentality no longer serves you or the people in your life.
- Sex — Your view on sex changes to one of pleasure, as you can experience the sexual energy as something enjoyable on its own end. As opposed to focusing on an endpoint.
22–30 days of semen retention
Expect the following in the last week of your challenge:
- Sovereignty — There is a power that you used to rule over yourself and your urges. You feel complete and full within yourself. You make conscious decisions. Not react to the world impulsively.
- Homeostasis — Your body has had time to regenerate to your baseline. You are in a higher state. You are more sensitive to the changes in your body.
- Embodied presence — You feel rooted in your body. Your skin is clear and glowing. You are in your body and not just in your head.
When to ejaculate?
My sweet spot to ejaculate is once a month.
The Taoists have their own timings for when to ejaculate based on age and the seasons.
I think when to ejaculate is a personal decision and needs to be discovered through experimentation.
