I practiced semen retention, I discussed with other retainers about their experiences with semen retention, and I read what other retainers around the world said about their experiences. As a result, I discovered that there is a semen retention timeline, as many people experience similar benefits during particular periods on their journey. I have decided to share this timeline here so that new retainers can have a general idea of what they might experience. This semen retention timeline reassures beginners that many of the experiences they are experiencing are common among people who follow this path. Most importantly, it helps retainers embrace patience and remain motivated and disciplined as they progress through different stages of the practice.
Day 1-14
The most commonly asked question by new retainers is, “how long does it take to see the effects of semen retention”?
You will notice the effects in the first two weeks, from around day 9 to 14. During this period, retainers usually experience increased social confidence, high energy levels, a good mood, and some, particularly those who masturbated everyday before practicing semen retention, experience mental clarity.
Day 15 – 30
Within this period, retainers experience increased energy, deeper mental clarity, improved sexual control, better eye contact, a greater sense of calm, enhanced focus, and improved physical strength and performance.
Day 31 – 60
Here, retainers experience increased confidence with women and they notice that women love their energy. They also find that they require less sleep and some feel that they have become more aggressive. (The aggressiveness is usually caused by failure to transmute the accumulated retained energy through exercise or working very hard on one’s craft). Moreover, they experience harder erections, they start seeing the real beauty of women, and even start enjoying little things such as walking in nature and listening to music, which become way more exciting. Some retainers feel happier, more optimistic, and highly ambitious.
Personally, during this period, I felt child-like, my dreams became vivid, nature appeared way more beautiful, I felt so happy for no reason, I experienced increased female attraction and increased productivity, I became extremely compassionate, and the need to do whatever it takes to succeed increased.
Day 61 – 90
Here, retainers experience deep mental calmness, and they feel immune to negative emotions. Others claim that negative emotions arise but they do not linger. Many retainers claim that their voices become deeper, their conversation skills improve, their willpower strengthens, their memory improves greatly, and they feel more creative.
Day 91 – 180
Here, retainers realize that they can control sexual urges and it becomes easier to lengthen their streak. Besides, they experience an abundance mindset, increased luck, the realization that everything is falling in place, increased respect and admiration from others, a sense of purpose, an increased ability to enjoy food, and a feeling that their presence intimidates other people.
Day 181 – 365
Here, people report experiencing blessings in all areas of their lives and success in their respective fields. I think this happens because retention eliminates distractions and allows one to focus on their craft.
Anyway, retainers also reveal that they experience an increased sense of influence on people, they easily attract like-minded individuals, they become obsessed with improving themselves, they can’t stop working, and they have a mysterious love for life.
For me, I felt that I can win every fight, I also felt connected to the God-force or source energy, I saw everything that impeded my progress, I had an increased desire to listen to gospel music, I wanted to be alone all the time, I felt that life was paving the way for something better, time started moving so fast, I felt highly creative, and saving money became easier.
Day 366+
Here is when things start getting crazy. Retainers report becoming highly intuitive and experiencing inner healing and effortless out-of-body experiences. Many report a feeling as if wisdom is flowing into their minds from a higher source, and others claim that their dreams become prophetic and extremely vivid. Others, including me, start feeling as if entities are talking to them at night and many experience an increased desire to embrace spiritual practices.
Concluding Remarks
There are many more benefits that retainers report experiencing on their semen retention journey, and these benefits of semen retention do not always appear in the exact order described in this timeline. Every individual is different, and therefore, the experience of retention can differ. Some retainers may notice certain changes much earlier, while others may experience them later in their streak.
For this reason, this semen retention timeline should not be seen as something that occurs in a rigid order for everyone. It should only be viewed as a general picture of what many practitioners experience as they progress on the journey.
It provides an idea of what one might expect along the path of semen retention rather than a strict sequence of events that must unfold in exactly the same way for every individual.
If you are beginning this path, the most important qualities are patience, discipline, and the willingness to observe one’s own experiences without rushing the process. Try your best not to ejaculate for at least 90 days, and you’ll eventually realize that semen retention is the most powerful, yet completely free tool for self-development.
