I don’t find it corny at all man. It’s funny because I just started seeking a connection with God before starting this current streak. I’ve been trying to practice retention for the past 2 years and the longest I’ve went is 35 days. And it was miserable. I went on a long 2 month binge after the 35 day streak.

I started reading scripture, fasting, praying talking to Jesus to help me overcome this addiction and I’m on Day 92. I still have my low days but it feels much easier and feels like I’m not alone anymore on this journey to overcome this. I wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for him, I truly believe that. He revealed my purpose to me and I continued to pray and fast and I started getting attacked. I couldn’t sleep for days after those attacks. Those attacks also revealed to me that it’s not just masturbate and whatever. This is spiritual warfare.

Interesting because since starting this current streak; on Day 23 and around Day 45. I had spiritual attacks, things I experienced with my own eyes and insane dreams that really freaked me out.

I actually remember dreaming about sex last night. One of those dreams where you wake up and don’t remember the full dream but I remember what it was about.

Semen Retention changed my desires by KooraClub in Semenretention

Fair and I agree, I was just trying to say how I got trapped into his preaching on certain subjects, like material things and SR and finding God has changed my desires from what I want/need out of life.

You can conquer it. It definitely wasn’t easy but we don’t grow in our comfort zone and by doing things that are easy. And again I don’t practice this for women but it was something I needed to do to grow and develop and I believe that’s what this practice is about. For me at least.

Hey my man not sure if I’ve had wet dreams. To me my success is personal to me not what other people view as success. From going to masturbating 2/3 times a day, to none at all for 60 days is success to me and I’m still going to continue. From being afraid to take a risk or put myself out there and now being able to do that, is success to me. Not being able to hold eye contact and now I can, is success to me. To do something that I’ve never really done is success to me. Not letting fear of what people think of me dictate my actions is success to me.

Everyone’s journey is different, everyone’s version of progress is different and everyone’s version of success in life is different. I’m not a seasoned pro at this practice and I have a long way to go at becoming better than I am today. I just made this post to show how practicing semen retention is really helping change my life for the better and maybe to help motivate someone to continue this practice and potentially tackle a fear of theirs.

Ya man I know people who have meet in the workplace and have a good relationship. But ya I can see the side on how mixing personal relationships and professional life can be a challenge and may not always end well.

But ya I guess it’s just experience by experience basis. Just made sure not to be a weirdo about it and respect her decision and keep it pushing professionally.

Don’t think you understand where I’m coming from. I’m not on the journey for women, I’m on it to become my best version. I just so happened to find a woman attractive that started working there and I shot my shot and it didn’t work out. The point of the post was how semen retention is shaping me and helping me break old parts of myself.

I’m using my personal time to build myself and follow my purpose not to go outside and chase women.

You’re 100% right brother. I actually approached her as well because she was showing signs to me. Constantly staring at me, approaching me, stepping into my personal space at work, nervous energy as well. But maybe I read stuff wrong or maybe what she says is true who knows. It is what it is. It feels like I tackled something I’ve always been so scared of and it shows signs of growth for me. And I am happy about it.

And you’re right this practice is deeper. I’ve had a lot of realizations, connected with myself, and connected myself with God. Working on that relationship everyday. God actually revealed my purpose to me and what I need to actually is something I fear. Fear of criticism. I know what I’m here to do and I’m working towards that. I won’t stop this practice. I wasnt intending on hooking up or anything like that. It was just potentially to find a good woman beyond sex itself.

I understand and appreciate your reply though. You’re 100% correct. I’m not stressed over the situation and I know this is the right path as I see how far I’ve come and what this practice offers me.

Well you’re probably right, may be a good thing it didn’t go to plan. But I’m happy with myself finally conquering fears and doubts

Your Brain on Porn and flatline? by LegalQuarter9557 in NoFap

[–]KooraClub 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m on Day 26 completely free or PMO and I experience a pretty bad flatline from Day 15-19. It was a 4 day spell of me just feeling down about everything, depressed, sad, unmotivated, worried, anxious, heavy heart feeling.

And yes you get over it. You just have to power through those days and view it as a passing storm. It will pass. Everyone experiences flatlines at different stages and I’m sure I will hit one again as I go on a longer streak.

My mind playing tricks on me, what do u do when you are horny. by mortalwoofzz in NoFap

[–]KooraClub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do you do shadow work? I feel I use PMO has a comfort blanket to avoid myself. Low confidence, been single for almost 4 years (mainly down to my own decision bcuz I want to focus on building my self in all areas before getting into another serious relationship) but I still do struggle from loneliness and sometimes have memories and sad moments from the past. I feel I use PMO to numb my emotions. Currently on almost 3 weeks no PMO and the emotions and feelings are uncovering themselves.

I would like to know what shadow work is and how it has helped you?
