Edging is the practice of stimulating oneself and stopping just before ejaculation to avoid climax. It is a practice that is very effective in helping men last longer in bed. Despite being advantageous to sexual stamina, edging should not be practiced by those who practice semen retention and want to fully experience its benefits.
While edging, you can still experience the benefits of semen retention, such as high energy levels, good mood, and strong willpower, mainly because it still prevents the loss of sperm and life-force energy.
However, edging prevents you from experiencing several benefits of semen retention by preventing purity of thought. It ensures that the mind is crowded by sexual thoughts and images, preventing you from experiencing benefits such as deep inner peace, strong intuitive intelligence, higher states of consciousness, and mental clarity. Such benefits require mental silence for them to emerge. It is impossible for you to experience them if the mental noise caused by sexual thoughts and fantasies that accompany edging always lingers in your mind.
Another reason to avoid edging on semen retention is that it increases the number of wet dreams you are likely to experience. Edging involves stimulating the body without allowing release, leaving the body in a state of expectation. It conditions the body to anticipate release.
When this expectation or anticipation happens repeatedly but is never fulfilled, the body will seek its own way to complete the process. And since conscious release is being denied, it will cause unconscious ejaculation during sleep.
Of course, wet dreams on semen retention are a normal occurrence. Even so, if you are a serious retainer, you must aim at reducing them or even ensuring that they don’t happen at all, so that you fully experience the power of semen retention. Remember, when wet dreams occur too frequently, they will certainly prevent you from experiencing some semen retention benefits.
Another reason why we should avoid edging while retaining our seed is that the main purpose of semen retention is to transcend the sexual urge. It is after transcending the sexual urge that it becomes easier to experience semen retention superpowers such as psychism and the ability to easily access spiritual worlds.
The sexual urge blinds the soul to the spiritual realm by ensuring that it is deeply immersed in the illusion of physical reality. It strengthens identification with the body, making one forget their true spiritual nature. The stronger the sexual urge becomes, the more difficult it becomes to see through the illusion of earthly reality. As a result, we become highly insensitive to spiritual dimensions and our spiritual powers.
For this reason, edging on semen retention is bad because it strengthens the sexual urge. It intensifies it and makes it more persistent and difficult to overcome. It keeps it highly active within our psyche, making it difficult for the self to rise above its earthly nature and experience its true power.
Furthermore, edging makes it almost impossible for sexual energy to rise from the base of the spine and activate the higher chakras/energy centers by ensuring that sexual energy remains confined to the lower centers of desire and pleasure. Instead of allowing this energy to ascend and be transformed into higher states of awareness, edging traps it into a cycle of stimulation and anticipation.
Edging ensures that the sexual or life-force energy is always in a state of seeking a physical outlet. In this state, it becomes difficult for you to go on a long streak because you will always have a strong desire to ejaculate. Moreover, when this energy is always in a state where it anticipates release through a physical outlet, it will be almost impossible for it to express its spiritual power by rising upward and awakening latent magical abilities and higher consciousness because it will be deeply attached to physicality.
By the way, when you retain your seed, your sexual energy starts transforming into its original spiritual state and you eventually experience its spiritual power or purpose. Edging prevents this process by ensuring that sexual energy remains in a dense, physical, sexual state.
Edging on semen retention is a form of pretense and self-deception. You are trying to master the sexual impulse, but at the same time you are stimulating it. Edging on semen retention just implies that you are not willing to rise above sexual desire. It demonstrates a reluctance to fully confront sexual desire and transform it into higher energy. Instead of edging, just relapse because your semen retention journey will not be very fruitful, and you’ll eventually be among the people claiming that semen retention benefits are a lie.
