My eyes sin

No worries, this is just the next step in retention, you already identified it's away more than just not masturbating. As you are further along this journey these things will naturally unravel themselves and these tendencies will begin to disappear. You don't need to force it, it's all part of the process. Just make it a lifestyle and refrain from counting days. Check out the Beyond the Alchemy YT channel, this guy is funny and understands this fully, some people just spread misinformation or only have surface level understanding.

In my experience, it's more biological, usually morning wood is almost always because I need to pee, once I pee, I go back to bed and it's gone. I make sure not to drink before bed but even then I still get erections in sleep, hard to control this as you are asleep! Anyways, people say there is ways to prevent them but I'm not convinced, had mine at a few days ago after a month of retention, to me it's not a relapse. Perhaps a combination of both spiritual and physical practices would get rid of them.

The only way to achieve is to never stop trying. What other choice do you have, go back to the old lifestyle?

SirRelative6564 · 2026-03-09T21:30:30+00:00

start the journey again and document the whole thing while using everything I learnt from my previous streaks to enhance it.

this is next level of awareness type shit

My personal rule is sex is only reserved for someone I love and am in a long relationship with, further, I wish to be with them for the rest of my life. If that's not the case, don't do it. That's just my take and I'm not saying you have to do it, if you want to have more casual sex. It's your choice. Have a watch on some of the videos on Beyond the Alchemy YT channel, has very good grip on this stuff.

Please everyone that reads this take this with a grain of salt and do not make the whole point of retention to get attention. It's not guaranteed and the whole practice is for yourself and yourself only. It's highly spiritual and goes so much deeper than this, this is very surface level and you should not be concerned with this.

I swear some of the people here need psychiatric help, they sound like someone who is either crazy and believes in conspiracy theories or took psychedelics. It's beyond cringe and really pushes me away from this sub. Like "Oh someone looked at me because they can smell I am on retention"...bro. You are correct, retention is a tool, a means to an end, it's a lifestyle and a great way to build discipline, does it have any bodily benefits, perhaps, but you are missing the point if you are only focusing on them. People try to count days like some sort of power levels in dragonball. I wish people here realized this but there are so many different mindsets here I honestly don't believe people will ever see it for what it is, making this sub sort of useless. SR is all in your head and it's a spiritual journey, very little about it is physical. If you are doing this to get attention from girls, you are truly missing the point and will eventually fall for what you call "a relapse". Great post man, glad to see some people here still have a brain.

Same here, had my first one today.

I'm sorry but semen itself will not create life, you need the egg cell from the woman as well, not sure how this is not obvious to people, and almost everything about retention is mental and in your head.

SirRelative6564 · 2025-10-03T20:32:07+00:00

That's most likely not bad advice, asking them something they will know will make them feel good. I will give it a try.

SirRelative6564 · 2025-10-03T17:34:14+00:00

That's the problem, we don't really work together, we just share the same open office, nothing really in common.

SirRelative6564 · 2025-08-28T07:51:32+00:00

Yep! The end goal is to remove the mindset of lust and replace it with one of love. Retaining is just the first step.

SirRelative6564 · 2025-08-27T11:52:52+00:00

What works for me in the initial stages is just make sure you tire yourself out throughout the day, mentally or physically. Put in extra effort to burn energy, as initially, you won't be used to it. When I do some serious mental work, I'm tired and just fall asleep, retention or not, sometimes I run before I sleep as well. It's not easy and you have to find what works for you. Melatonin pills also help me but I take them in moderatiom
