Although many retainers report experiencing several benefits of semen retention, just after two weeks of retaining their seed, several people dismiss the benefits of semen retention as delusions, claiming that the positive effects experienced are most likely due to a placebo effect.
I have practiced semen retention several times, and I have experienced its benefits. I am therefore surprised that some people claim that the practice is useless.
If you look at semen retention from a logical point of view, you’ll realize that it must be beneficial. Semen has a high concentration of nutrients and minerals. When it is not ejaculated, the body breaks it down and reabsorbs all its nutrients and minerals.
With this in mind, an important question arises: if the body is capable of reabsorbing semen together with its rich concentration of nutrients and minerals, is it reasonable to argue that semen retention offers no benefit at all? It seems more sensible to argue that the reabsorption allows the body to reclaim valuable nutrients and minerals that would otherwise have been lost through ejaculation.
The reabsorption of large quantities of semen and its nutrients and minerals – accumulated through semen retention – is what leads to benefits experienced by retainers, such as a glowing skin, a youthful appearance, thicker hair, and improved brain function.
Another reason why it makes sense that semen retention is beneficial is what it prevents retainers from doing. The practice involves avoiding the pursuit of women and anything related to it.
When a person is constantly chasing sexual pleasure or female attention, the mind often becomes preoccupied with thoughts about sex and women. A man may find himself repeatedly thinking about how he will attract women and sexual opportunities.
When such a man practices semen retention and genuinely avoids the pursuit of women, he must definitely experience a positive state of mind because he ends the negative mental cycle that accompanies chasing women and sex. This is why retainers always experience mental or inner calmness and a sense of psychological freedom. When the mind is no longer occupied with the repetitive thoughts that accompany the pursuit of women, it naturally becomes calmer and peaceful.
Besides affecting the mind, semen retention directly affects one’s financial situation by eliminating the need to spend on women or any other activities – such as partying or visiting nightclubs or strip clubs – that surround the pursuit of sex.
For this reason, a serious retainer who previously spent money on the pursuit of women, and related activities, and then stopped after committing to semen retention, will certainly notice an increase in savings. The money that would have been spent in pursuit of sex remains in his pocket.
Another logical explanation for the benefits of semen retention is based on the fact that anyone who has masturbated or had sex knows that ejaculation drains their energy. After ejaculating, many men feel a little bit tired and weaker. This is why it is easier to fall asleep after ejaculating. This occurs because ejaculation ensures the release of large amounts of life-force energy: this release of large quantities of life-force energy during ejaculation is the reason why many animals and even humans have died after ejaculating several times.
This means that when we retain our seed, we avoid releasing large quantities of life-force energy as we allow it to accumulate within. This is why many who practice semen retention say that they feel fully alive and very energetic.
I experienced high energy levels just within a few weeks of retaining my seed. I felt so energetic that I always woke up early, and I wanted to work constantly. At times, the energy felt almost overwhelming. It was as if there was a huge force inside me that needed an outlet. To manage this intensity, I turned to intense physical exercise, which helped channel the excess energy, transforming it into strength and endurance.
Those who argue that semen retention is not beneficial are either uninformed or have never tried retaining their seed. Some may have attempted semen retention but continue to pursue women and sexual pleasure while retaining their seed, ensuring that they don’t fully experience the practice’s benefits.
It is difficult to dismiss the power of semen retention when we consider that it has been practiced since ancient times by some of the most respected spiritual masters, philosophers, and priests. Were individuals such as the Buddha, Friedrich Nietzsche, or Socrates, who all understood the value of retention so foolish as to promote a practice that offered no real benefit? These were highly intelligent individuals, yet they recognized semen retention as a highly beneficial ascetic practice.
You will also recognize semen retention as a powerful practice if you try it just for a while. You don’t need to retain your seed for a long period for you to experience the power or benefits of semen retention. You just have to do so for at least two months, and you’ll eventually understand why many retainers love this practice.
