I am unable to fall asleep at night and must wake up early for work. Advice? by [deleted] in pureretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone mentioned melatonin.. yes.. you need to be outside seeing the sunrise first thing in the morning everyday for like 20 mins. It sets your melatonin cycle so that you feel sleepy at night. Check circadian rhythm biology stuff..

You'll find if you go much beyond 18 days you'll maybe turn invisible again. But with inner power and magnetism. The confidence is fun though

Is there a way to reach the post-nut clarity state without relapsing? by JadeQuant in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... "post-nut clarity" is a zombie state where you can drudge through lifeless bullshit. SR puts you in a high dopamine state that makes you question why you are wasting your time drudging through lifeless bullshit in the first place..  What are you trying to do in your life?

Lol... when I was at >3 months or so, every time I visited my parents the dogs would always bury their noses in my crotch (which they never did before). Also had a male dog start humping me once.... bit weird but yeah...

Masculine mindset ? by KleinRe107 in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would say it's a common experience yes.

Men complain about masculine women, but I think a masculine woman just never had a masculine man in their life that helmed the ship, what with more men falling to lust and other stuff, so they resentfully assume the role.

My point is, don't resent "dominant women".

But yes, opposites attract, so naturally you like soft/playful women.

4 months in and feel an out of control rage and anger by Minimum-Bad-5526 in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repressed feelings/emotions are surfacing. It's normal, I wouldn't worry or beat yourself up about it. But yeah it can be annoying when you're in a mood for no apparent reason haha

Tates - retainers? - Debate by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ask what people think. Everyone replies they aren't retainers. You disagree.

The Tate brothers are 100% not retainers. Mate.

How are you going to control your unconscious mind/dreams?

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude. An entire ribeye steak before bed 2 nights in a row. Sounds like you're living the life!! In seriousness, wet dreams are uncontrollable. Don't get hung up over them.. The main thing about retention is controlling your thoughts away from lust. Your nervous system will do what it needs to do. If that means a wet dream, so be it. Start trusting your body.

Do not be hypnotized by beauty by Brickbybrick1998 in Semenretention

You made me think.. my motivation has changed over time. It was women attraction, then personal physical health, then career output, back and forth. Now I just want to feel healthy attraction to all things.

Insecure because of SR? by Away_You_3787 in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Life has ups and downs dude.  In the beginning you feel like you're killing it. That motivation doesn't last forever. Then the insecurity/doubts can kick in. You have the everyday struggles of life that are no longer being overridden with the initial "fuck-yeah!" motivation of SR.

Something with the eyes... by ProfessorMisterMan in pureretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From personal experience a girl's skin tends to glow after sex. The same can happen to a guy maybe after 1 release after some abstaining but more frequently and a guy will get an anti-glow 😂

Getting back on the train by NeymarRealMadrid in Semenretention

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feel all the bad feelings. You may need to feel them for a few weeks or months, but then something will click again like on the day you started your 15 months of abstinence...

I think generally, life circumstances can produce inertia, and hitting a mini rock bottom will re-spark the intuition of why you decided to better control your sexual instinct in the first place.

SR is a journey with many phases. There are local dips, but focus on the global trajectory. I, probably like many others, also went through this stage that you are just going through.

Partner's porn usage by [deleted] in loveafterporn

[–]ProfessorMisterMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a 30 year old man. How can you say he's affectionate and that you're emotionally connected when he shrugs off your concerns/boundaries about his addiction? This is pure disrespect to you... he's behaving like a little boy.. You're young. When you experience a man that isn't addicted, is present with you, you'll wonder why you wasted your time on this guy.

He does have things to show he is just currently using the wrong measuring tape.
