I’ve had several 1-2 week streaks when I began my journey at the beginning of this year.
I just hit my first 30 day streak
That being said, here is a list of observations I made about how it effected me personally. I would like to first share my previous state of being to set a starting point.
Since as long as I can remember I watched porn and masturbated daily. I had girlfriends, and when I did I would then watch porn and masturbate but only on days my girlfriend didn’t want to have sex. So in other words I was addicted.
It’s now been 4 months of zero porn and zero masturbation. Any streaks I lost was to sex with women. And like I said before I just hit 30 days of pure retention and zero PMO, zero edging.
Benefits-
- Testosterone increased dramatically.
I don’t actually have proof of this, however I can feel it. I have all the characteristics of increased testosterone. -deeper voice
-direct unwavering eye contact
-zero social anxiety (I used to have a ton)
- assertive
-increased stamina (ran 130 miles in total during this 30 day streak. I have never in my life ran more than 30 in a month tell now. )
-increased strength
-confidence skyrocketed
-pleasure from doing difficult tasks increased dramatically. Remember testosterone is what makes hard work feel better and also increases pain tolerance.
-productivity skyrocketed
-energy is so bountiful and never ending
-will power increased
-capable workload doubled
-read faster and more often
-focus is better along with mental clarity
-magnetism you wouldn’t believe. You start to feel like the main character, everyone wants to talk to you. I get fist bumped, touched, hugged dozens of times a day. (I have a job in a very busy populated setting). I had this job before semen retention and the difference is beyond a shadow of a doubt directly due to my retention.
-women adore me. Sometimes it can be too much and I’ve actually had women fight over me (fight verbally)
-long stable bouts of feeling happiness/fulfillment
-moments of something spiritual
-perception of increased luck
Now some negatives I noticed-
-anger, I can get frustrated and angry much quicker. Although I do pretty good keeping it inside and not having it effect social interaction.
-magnetism.. yes also a negative. Sometimes you want to just be left alone or the person who is drawn to you is not someone that you are drawn to.
-jealousy from other men. Other men see me gain attention and chat with females with ease. It bothers them, I am always still friendly but I can still tell they don’t like me.
I’m never going back. This experience has forever changed my life and set me free. I’ll post again at 60 days because why not. Thanks for everyone who read my post. You are my brothers.
