Samuel Lim Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) Anyone doing it? Multiple sources pointed out the full health benefits experienced by practicing at least 100 days. I'm giving it a shot ...but...it's my day-03 and it's already so hard ... I went for decent massage yesterday and precum was already leaking non-stop... At this rate, I don't know how long i can last.. Anyway, here are some of the purported health benefits**: 1. Improved mental clarity and focus: Semen retention is believed to increase focus, clarity, and mental alertness. This can help with tasks that require concentration and focus. 2. Increased energy levels: By harnessing and retaining sexual energy, individuals may experience a boost in energy levels, helping them feel more energized throughout the day. 3. Improved physical performance: Some individuals believe that retention of semen can lead to increased physical strength, endurance, and athletic performance. 4. Better emotional health: Semen retention can help individuals feel more emotionally balanced and stable, reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, and mood swings. 5. Increased confidence and self-esteem: Some people report feeling more confident and self-assured when practicing semen retention, which can lead to improved relationships and social interactions. 6. Enhanced sexual experiences: By practicing semen retention, individuals may experience stronger and more intense orgasms, as well as increased pleasure during sexual activities. 7. Overall health benefits: Some studies suggest that semen retention may have positive effects on the immune system, hormone levels, and overall well-being. **Disclaimer** It's important to note that these benefits are largely anecdotal and may not have scientific evidence to support them. Additionally, semen retention may not be suitable or recommended for everyone, so it's important to speak with a healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your sexual habits.** Edited March 7 by Samuel Lim Typo yogateacher 1 Quote 𝓜𝓪𝓷𝔂 𝓼𝓮𝓮𝓴 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓷𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓭𝓪𝔂𝓼.

Guest Honestly Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Are there any links to actual scientific evidence and studies in these ‘multiple sources’? because this video is total hocus pocus nonsense, just like so many other miracle health videos online.

While there are definitely a lot of videos and anecdotal testimonies advocating the benefits of semen retention, it can be challenging to find concrete scientific evidence and studies on the topic. However, I can attest to knowing several individuals who have personally practiced semen retention and have reported experiencing various physical and mental benefits. It may be helpful to keep an open mind and consider trying it for yourself to see how it may positively impact your own well-being. Quote 𝓜𝓪𝓷𝔂 𝓼𝓮𝓮𝓴 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓷𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓭𝓪𝔂𝓼.

Have you asked yourself why it might be hard to find concrete evidence? I generally have an open mind but have a low tolerance for people like the video author, who is pushing misinformation and confusing opinions and ideas with facts in order to promote themselves and make $. anyway, it’s not going to hurt anyone if you decide to cum or not. Come back in 97 days and tell us the benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepresentfitness Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I will speak from Traditional Chinese Medicine point of view. Semen is considered 'Vital essence'; something that is given from birth by your parents. This essence will help to preserve your energies. When semen is lost (ejaculation), you deplete the essence, and this leads to health issues like fatigue and weakened immunity (thus u are susceptible to illness). Take note also as we age, this essence will also decline gradually. Semen retention is indeed a good practice. Conservation of the essence will nourish both mind and body, and thus this helps to improve focus and concentration (so that you can use your energy and attention to get things done more efficient). I encourage you to keep up with the good practice of semen retention. Leanmeat, Samuel Lim, DMassage and 1 other 4 Quote Calm Relaxing Music. Relax Now.

Or can the body differentiate between when someone is masturbating and having sex with the intention to procreate? See how much nonsense is written about this. again, do what you want but don’t make claims without any evidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing @thepresentfitness The concept and advantages of semen retention of TCM is also similar in Yoga, relating more towards preserving our energy. Although it is not easy for most people, it is certainly possible, with practice and determination. Semen retention is especially important for people on the religious/spiritual path. Having said that, I was told by my teacher that bodily discharge is a natural phenomenon, hence masturbation is not abnormal. However, what's important here is whether we allow ourselves to be addicted to masturbation, or inculcate self-discipline to control our mind, control our urges.

Leanmeat Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) I manage to stop for a month before. It was a good feeling I feel. But of cos need to refrain from porn or getting arouse. If not will be just adding unnecessary stress to your mind and body. I do feel more alert and less easily tired. Will plan for a two or three weeks in the near future. If can one month will go for it. I don't believe the saying of have to eject once a few days. Not all body works the same way. Similarly some people cums everyday and they still feel ok. It's your own body, take responsibility for it. Follow your heart. Edited March 15 by Leanmeat yogateacher and GCONG 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AskMeNot Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I thought ejaculation helps against cancer? Wondering if the benefits outweigh the risks. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/prostate-cancer/prostate-cancer-prevention Stay Sexually Active Two studies appear to show that men who have a higher frequency of ejaculation (with or without a sexual partner) were up to two-thirds less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Studies are ongoing, but some experts theorize that ejaculation clears the body of toxins and other substances that could cause inflammation.
