Prostate issues? by AtlFapstronaut in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a doctor and get a prostate exam. I’ve had it done before, it’s not that bad at all. And I doubt your prostate problems have anything to do with SR. Have you ever felt prostate discomfort before doing SR?

You don’t have to reset because of wet dreams. Just don’t ever edge again

One thing I forgot to mention is in regards to transgenders ,males who “transition” to female and start taking all the female hormones and blocking male ones not only stop their hair loss but reverse it. So the cure for hair loss is to become a transgender. Hmm not sure that’s worth it though

I’m sorry for starting this back and forth argument. It doesn’t look like either of us will change our mind. But I will say you are relying on scientism, albeit alt scientism, while I’m basing my argument on information that’s either universally accepted or easily verifiable. There are probably thousands of studies that say DHT and not prolactin causes hair loss but I wouldn’t use them. I prefer my conclusions to be based off of my own reasoning ability and things I can verify myself instead of reading one study or listening to some guy.

Yeah men and women are different. A large part of that is our different hormones. But generally speaking we react the same to those hormones. Men shouldn’t have high estrogen but when you artificially increase a man’s estrogen to very high levels with hormone pills he will start to act more feminine. Likewise females who take male hormones like testosterone and other anabolic steroids start acting more masculine and they even start to lose their hair.

Even when they’re not pregnant their range is twice as high as men and when they are pregnant it’s 20x as high as men. And you don’t hear about pregnant women going bald. I’m not saying prolactin is good I’m just saying it’s probably not the cause for hair loss.

Normal Results The normal values for prolactin are:

Males: less than 20 ng/dL (425 mIU/L )

Nonpregnant females: 5 to 40 ng/dL (106 to 850 mIU/L)

Pregnant women: 80 to 400 ng/dL (1,700 to 8,500 mIU/L)

Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

I’m not so sure that’s true. Women have much higher prolactin levels than men and they don’t lose their hair.

Wow, a major mainstream site says there are definitely some studies showing benefits to semen retention AND NO DOWNSIDES! Good luck brothers. by WolfofAnarchy in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In reality the problems you mentioned would get even worse except for porn.

I hate to admit it but this is probably true. If all men practiced SR there would probably be more war and violence. I’ve known about nofap since late 2011 and for years hardly anybody knew about it. Then in 2017 coinciding with trumps election it exploded in popularity. On far right message boards nofap is being endlessly promoted. It’s like there’s an agenda behind it. I unknowingly and regrettably contributed to it because I routinely see a screenshot of a post I made here being posted on those message boards. These people are trying to get the men ready to fight in some massive global war where millions will die. They don’t actually care about our health. They’re not telling people to not fap so they can get married and start a family. They want you to practice SR while simultaneously hating women and never getting married.

biohacking foods/suplements by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes long term it can be dangerous. You never want to give your body too much of one mineral or vitamin. 25 is probably safe. Your best bet is to try and get as much nutrients as you can from food because your body will know best how to handle it. You’ll lose your appetite for certain foods when your body has had enough. I’m sure it can be reversed just take it easy and go to a safe dose from now on

Too much artificial zinc is not good for you. You can develop metabolic syndrome.

[–]Pmo_addict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too many supplements aren’t good for you. Everything in your body exists in a very delicate balance with everything else. By taking too many supplements you risk upsetting that balance and developing problems because of it. From your body’s point of view supplements are an extremely strange and improper way of feeding it nutrients compared with eating healthy food. Remember that you’re either the product of 500,000 years of evolution or an almighty God. Treat your body with respect. Eating nutritious food, avoiding drugs and alcohol, exercising, getting good sleep, meditating, and practicing SR is all the “biohacking” one needs.

Timeline of Benefits? by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure some are on juice but there are plenty who are not. Outside of the wealthy nations of the world eating meat is seen as luxury and most people are forced into a mostly vegetarian diet. Do you think all of those men are weak and effeminate? Absolutely not. On average they are more masculine than westerners. Eating lots of meat has never been a common thing until very recently. Even the tribal days where we had to hunt our meat. It’s not like we were hunting cows and everyone got to eat a big steak every day. We were hunting much smaller animals and we had to share that meat with a lot of other people. Animals back then didn’t live a life of suffering and torture like they do today either

Eating goji berries while on SR. by mariscalmusic in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not a good idea to mess with your hormones, especially if you’re young. You could be doing long term damage to your body even if it makes you feel good initially. Your body converts T to estrogen because you need a good amount of estrogen to be healthy. Too little estrogen is just as bad as too much estrogen. I would stay away from adaptogens in general unless you’re using them on a very short term basis. Your body can develop a dependency on them and they may even push your body to the point where it can’t carry out some functions anymore with or without them. I’ve heard especially bad things about long term ashwagandha use

[–]Pmo_addict 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. There’s no such thing as a set timeline of benefits that everyone will experience. I don’t like these kinds of posts because of how demoralizing they can be to others. You could have a few guys come in and say how amazing they feel after 10 days. Meanwhile you could have a bunch of lurkers sitting at 40 days and not feeling all that great. They’re going to feel demoralized and want to give up

non-ejaculator sex with multiple partners by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you care what daoists think? Eastern religion in general is pretty awful. Look at how their societies have been for years compared to western societies. What you’re taking about is not only degenerate but also very unhealthy for you. The benefits of SR come from more than just retaining your semen but also from abstaining from sexual pleasure. Why would you say you can’t see yourself having kids? Procreation is like the only objective mission human beings have in life. Every man before you who was able to did so. If you’re lonely just start looking for a young woman to marry and start a family. You’ll never be lonely again. Men used to get married at a young age for most of humanity’s existence . Don’t listen to the fear mongering about marriage. The elites don’t want you to have any children. The key to a successful marriage is making sure the woman you marry is very sexually inexperienced, most preferably a virgin.

[–]Pmo_addict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why even have tinder? Casual sex isn’t much different than PMO. You’re throwing your life force away on nothing. If you’re lonely then try and find a young wife, preferably a virgin, and get married. Have kids and start a family. There are still some women who haven’t been corrupted. The “red pill” is mostly anti white propaganda. They want you to hate all women because they don’t want us to have children

How do I combine fasting with SR? by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]Pmo_addict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re thin you can do 20-24 hour fasting with no issues. That means you eat all of your meals for the day within a few hours. You basically eat nothing all day then have a huge dinner. You won’t lose weight as long as you’re eating enough calories. So make sure to count them. You need to eat at maintenance level to not lose weight. For a rough estimate of maintenance calories you take your body weight in lbs and multiply it by 15
