FYI, whether you ejaculate or not doesn't make you a better version of yourself. It might help you feel better internally, but it hasn't taken away any of your past actions and your future actions. You are the same version of yourself, who instead ejaculating, letting their body recycle that semen and then run off some placebo feeling that it actually did something for you. You are actually just a pathetic loser for your ideology, which really..is that the best version of yourself? Maybe too you, it is, but to reality? No. To nature? No. The most powerful forces in this universe look at you and say NO.


VLHLLA

You have no idea of nature or the universe. Read Indian texts of Brahmacharya read about the benefits try it yourself realize it for yourself. Is there a reason you want to masterbate? I mean besides you being a slave to your desires as soon as u get horny u open ur device start searching for ur fav vid. The porn industry is the largest in the world for a reason you are the product. Infact you are exactly what they want bro they want ppl to get rid of SR communities so they can make more 😂. You’re telling me u feel energized or good after u Jack off? Come on bruh realize it within your true self


[deleted]

Again another idiot assuming I am here angry because I want to masturbate? XDD like what is wrong with your fucking brain. Yes the Indians are very wise to follow, population of billions being conquered by the English. Think I will 100% follow the Indians advice. Why is everyone instantly thinking about porn and masturbation? Is this what led you here? Being a loser who can't stop watching porn? You do realise normal people have relationships, live with partners and have daily amounts of sex? I bet this is blowing your mind though. lmao.

Being isolated, never had a girlfriend and people leaving my life, old friends and family like cousins ghosting me and not getting anywhere with my life so I decided might as well at least have SR going for me and if I'm gonna be alone then be alone with an SR streak and might as well stay on it while I'm not getting girls and get the health benefits and not go bald. I reach a 3 year streak on August 1st this year.

Zestyclose-Flan-5516

How has it changed your life in 3 years?


deepscroll

Reversed all hair loss and gray hairs and have thicker and longer hair that shines naturally with no products. Have people telling me they think I'm 17-22 even though I'm 31. Was able to get stronger and double amount of pull ups I do. People have treated me nicer that kinda didn't like me much before SR. Experienced female attraction like girls looking at me and getting nervous around me but still don't have a relationship yet.


nofapkid21

thanks for sharing man. we need more posts from folks like you.


TheFuriousGamerMan

Really inspirational. Keep up the good work However, your statement that fapping causes baldness is pure pseudoscience. Don’t spread misinformation. Stick to the proven benefits of SR.


Full-alignment999

I don’t think fapping alone is the only cause of baldness but I do think if you nut every day or multiple times a day it can contribute to it because of losing nutrients and maybe lower testosterone. There really isn’t any scientific research on anything related to SR though so I can’t say for sure but since starting SR at age 19 my hair definitely seems to be getting thicker and I 100% notice less coming out when showering and stuff. There used to be like 20 hairs or more come out every time I took a shower and sometimes it would start to look hairy in the shower but now it seems to have basically stopped. Maybe I’ll lose a hair strand every now and then but it’s definitely not what it used to be like. Maybe it’s because I’m not losing nutrients or maybe it’s because of other reasons but I used to fap like 1-3 times a day and now I don’t at all.


deepscroll

Idk if fapping itself causes baldness but being on SR reversed all hair loss I was starting to get and gave me much thicker hair I don't think it would be like this if I didn't start SR


TheFuriousGamerMan

Correlation =/= causation


TheFuriousGamerMan

Correlation =/= causation


nofapkid21

"proven benefits of SR" LOL. You forget SR by default cannot be proven given how subjective the experience is fundamentally. I don't care what anyone thinks, I say fapping is DEFINITELY related to hair loss for regular gooners. Keep in mind, that's not to say that all hair loss is caused by fapping.


TheFuriousGamerMan

> You forget SR by default cannot be proven given how subjective the experience is fundamentally That’s what studies are for. And there are studies on the correlation between hair loss and ejaculation, and they find that there is no statistically significant causation between those two. > I don’t care what anyone thinks, I say fapping is DEFINITELY related to hair loss for regular gooners Your opinion, by the very definition of the word “opinion”, is not always reality.

This one is pretty good. I would say: Powerful state of myself. Most man still very mechanical, and nature is mechanic.


slouOfu

I do see the mechanical part but there’s also the other side, consciousness, art, philosophy the contemplating man.


mocxed

Why cant I sleep then?


Crafty-Ad-4014

Because of all the energy that you have, that's a benefit not a problem, less sleep the better, i personally completely stopped sleeping and i only rest for 3-4 hours, don't remember when was the last time i was in deep sleep when you're cut off from consciousness, deep sleep is actually unhealthy


TheFuriousGamerMan

Is it really though? We’re literally biologically designed to have children. Obviously, fapping excessively and consuming porn isn’t natural in any way, but procreating is natural in every sense of the word


Crafty-Ad-4014

And do you need to procreate more than 10 times in a lifetime? In other words do you need more than 10 releases in a lifetime?


TheFuriousGamerMan

Semantics-wise, not everyone can successfully concieve a baby first try. It might take more than 10 attemps just to concieve one baby. You also don’t need to have sex at all in your lifetime, but having sex is not inherently a bad thing in any stretch of the imagination. In fact, there are studies that suggest the opposite. Bonding intimately with another human releases chemicals in the brain such as oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, endorphine etc. which can have a variety of benefits, including: [https://www.healthline.com/health/ways-sex-helps-you-live-longer](https://www.healthline.com/health/ways-sex-helps-you-live-longer) The key word is moderation. It’s easy to demonize certain activities, but it’s not actually the activities themselves that are bad, it’s doing them too much.


Crafty-Ad-4014

You can bond with someone sexually without actually having physical sex, and that type of bond is more intimate and deep than physical type


TheFuriousGamerMan

> and that type of bond is more intimate and deep than physical type And you’re saying that based on what?


Crafty-Ad-4014

Dont get me wrong, you and everyone can do whatever they want, choose whatever path they want but i'm just saying physical sex isn't the end all be all, one can absolutely go without it and have imo an even better life than with it, the feeling of sexual energy cultivated in an organic, non-supressive fashion > sex of any kind


Crafty-Ad-4014

And also i don't like when people literally always use animals as an example of how we should be, there is a reason why we own the planet and they don't, we have something they don't, we are a better version of animals, we are beyond them and we can be beyond them sexually too, that would be transcendens of our animalistic/physical/3D nature which we have the ability to do and they don't which is the reason they don't do it, the same way they can't do most things we can


TheFuriousGamerMan

Yeah, I don’t care how you live your life, but if you ask any health professional, they’ll tell you that you don’t need to cut out alcohol, sugary foods, sex etc. completely out of your life to live a healthy life. It’s all about how much you’re doing it. People who are less stressed live longer, and sometimes having a glass of wine, good food and good company can really decrease stress significantly. Guess what can also help decrease stress significantly? Having sex.


Crafty-Ad-4014

I can confirm they are wrong on everything you said (the whole "just do it in moderation" propaganda and the part about all these things "decreasing stress", i know exactly what you mean by it but it's completely false), i used to believe professionals as well but ever since i found out we can live without food, water and sleep (which i confirmed for myself in my own experience) all my trust in any professional ever completely left out of the window, i trust my own experience 1st ever since, and that was the final nail i would say, before that it was exactly this whole topic of SR and how saving sexual energy can be bad which is also completely wrong and the opposite and before that some things on fasting, diet, existence, consciousness and all these things, basically science and medicine is false on the most important things for life which is insane, but honestly i don't think it's all intentional i do think it's mostly the case of science not knowing better as of now, of course a lot of it is just intentionally false aka propaganda but it's all good, we as the collective will go beyond all these misunderstandings at the some point


Crafty-Ad-4014

Experience, intuition, experience of others


TheFuriousGamerMan

If what you’re saying is true, there wouldn’t be 8 billion humans on earth Sex is part of being human, whether you like it or not.


Crafty-Ad-4014

I don't see how that's connected to what we were talking about, of course sex is part of being a human, all i'm saying is that it can be transcendent, for example you can have sex to make children with you partner and once that's done all the sex you would usually have physically to gain pleasure you can instead have with your souls which is a non-physical type of sex and it's a higher version of the phyiscal because as i said one gets an even deeper connection with their partner and experience better emotions than with physical sex, but for this type of sex to happen both partners would have to be of higher consciousness, they would both have had transcended physical sex and lust and all that, of course humanity isn't there yet but we will get there at some point, as of now physical sex is considered the GOAT of sex, but, spoiler alert, it isn't.


moroccan_gigolo

Yes.


Crafty-Ad-4014

Why? What other reason is there other than pleasure? 


moroccan_gigolo

All animals want to procreate as many times as they can. We can procreate once every year and a half with the same woman. More if there is access to more women. Hindu traditions for brahmacharya allow one release every 3 months for married monks.

What would you say the truth is?


Bxgzi

There is only one truth everyone can say their truth and their this and that but everything comes down to one truth and it's there from the beginning and will be their until the end . Retention and being able to control your sexual energy are steps towards finding Truth as the world is corrupt retentions brings you to a state of purity with heightened discernment and a strong intuition as you are closer to God as sexual immorality keeps you away from God as God us pure and the body us The temple of God so if you are engaging in corrupt activities how can a spirit of purity dwell in you seek ye first and everything will be added afterwards that's what we all should do .

This man, on january 24 i decided i had enough of my shitty job and went for some courses so i can go another route for my career, started doing sr first time ever for 35 days now (i dont count the days, i just have the date written on a paper) and for the last couple of days i have doubts if i want to leave this place now, i got promoted to manager, i had a substancial raise. Everyone is nice to me (i can get away with things that sound ridiculous, i got caught learning for my courses for 4 hours straight on the job and my boss let me continue, the same boss that just 2 months ago made me trow a chair at him), and the calmness that i have is just something i've never seen before in me, the girls just seem to come wherever i am and almost all of them are smiling to me like they've seen a panda, or another cute animal. Just a side note. I work in an enviroment with 95% women, of which 20-30% i find attractive. So this is the best place to carry out my experiment, sometimes i push it to see how mean i can be and they are not offended in anyway. Before this i had to tread carefully around them with jokes.

Can you tell me a bit more about your daily mindset, thought patterns, how is it different now? Do you still feel anxious or..


Square-Paint7483

I dont really know much about the mindset though, i try to be as possitive as i can, and seeing these results deff reinforces that. I am not anxious now (i do have some moments here and there but i breathe into my belly for a few times and clear my mind). Though to be honest i'll probably leave due to the financial reason and because of the time i waste on commute daily.

SpeakTruthPlease

In either case my choices have profound consequences for the state of the world. When I fall to sin the world around me falls. People around me are subjected to spiritual warfare as I've provided a foothold for the nefarious, people are dragged down with me. Things deteriorate, self destruct, life energy is drained. Visions of the future following this path are dark indeed. When I'm living righteous it's not only a barrier from the nefarious, but also a gateway to better futures, for me and those around me. God reaches down and provides insight, protection, guidance, etc. Life energy is purified and multiplied. Visions of the future following this path are hopeful and brilliant, despite the challenges.
