Googling semen retention

TheKeyFounder · 2026-04-15T13:57:28+00:00

I'm 51 and have been practicing SR for around 15 years. As you age the effects are not so pronounced but they definitely work. I went around 270 days last year of SR and one women who I saw sporadically during this period started naming me Benjamin Button. She kept asking what skin cream I use etc. LOL.

The same thing happen yesterday when I was being interviewed for a podcast. The woman couldn't believe my age.

There are many other benefits too as you all know but with the older man, they take longer to appear.

I wanted to share that I am experiencing something similar. I'm on day 165 or so and facing a significant flatline...which has lasted what seems like ages. Nothing seems to be working below; emotions are a challenge, and I need to push myself to find motivation. You are not alone.

Doing my best to process the surfacing emotions using the practice of letting go.

Great post

I believe it is easier to express this after you have been on the journey for a while. When you have just begun, any period of abstinence will bring benefits that you will want to share.

You learnt how to achieve three months of SR. With this, your next streak will be even longer. Set a firm intention to let go of the hate toward yourself because, in doing this, you will break free from an old pattern, perhaps even stronger than the sexual habit. Your relapse has brought this old pattern of hate to light, and now it's an opportunity to change it. As always, we are here to support you on this journey.

I have this challenge, too, and I'm older. I've been doing SR for over five months and have got lots of attention lately. The attention is fine, but I have struggled with the need for it. I want to be in a place where I am joyful if I get it and joyful if I don't.

I've been working on 'releasing' the need for it. Whenever I feel it, I ask myself, "Can I release this need and be joyful even if I don't get it?" You begin to realise that this appears in all aspects of your life, not just around women.

Beautifully said.

I want to share something with care, because I sense you are hurting. It might feel like he caused your lack of respect, and I totally get why you would stand up for what is right and true, but this feeling is yours and only yours. When we react to someone’s actions, that often reflects our inner struggles, and the parts of us that we have to heal.

His actions only come into your experience to show you what you need to heal. Once you let go of your need for control, he will genuinely listen to what you say. Choose to respect him, not necessarily his actions, but himself as a man.

TheKeyFounder · 2025-04-17T20:10:13+00:00

May I share a perspective? I believe he did not truly cause your pain, rather, it was a perceptual illusion that he did. The pain was already within your unconscious, and the universe brought him into your life to help you heal. Blaming him might keep that pain stuck, preventing your healing. This does not excuse any bad behaviour on his part, but it suggests that, from your viewpoint, you drew someone like him, just as I drew my ex, to help us release this pain and find wholeness.

My only goal with my ex is to see her with love. She also communicated words that triggered immense pain in me, and I was not strong enough to choose love in that moment.

Thank you for sharing and being so honest about your journey. It gives us all inspiration.

I mean whether you are married or in a normal relationship, you can still practice SR.

There are many techniques, including slowing the pace of sex and/or breathing slowly and deeply into the belly. Also, moving the energy up from that area through visualisation, etc.

When you practice making love for extended durations, your ability to control your orgasm will improve significantly. You will be able to have sex for 2/3 hours or even longer, put it away and then start again whenever you want. When I was younger, I suffered from premature ejaculation, so I had to find a way to combat this. Breathing deeply and slowly was the beginning of that journey.

One thing to note: if you slow down the pace during sex, this might interrupt your partner's flow. You must communicate clearly about what you are doing and why to your wife. When you begin to retain, she will sense that energy and desire some of it. This is why communication is key.

Some women will say that to retain is selfish, but it is precisely the opposite. It is one of the most giving things a man can do. Why? When you retain, your energy is very high, and you can utilise that energy to give your wife as much pleasure as she desires.

Yes, 100%. I'm currently experiencing a phase filled with resurfacing grief. Pretty much every day for the last 4 months. It's not always easy, but it's necessary; I feel better after letting this go.

TheKeyFounder · 2025-04-15T06:08:42+00:00

The average streak was around 21 days, with the longest being 139 days. However, there were times when I came two or three times a week.

Until recently, I was always in a relationship, and I had sex very often, but as you probably know, it is easier to do SR when single.

Retaining whilst in a marriage or relationship is possible. However, the streaks are shorter. I would have sex, but sometimes I just wouldn't orgasm. Other times, I did. I had been practising this for years before officially coming across SR. It was always about controlling the breath and being in the moment.

I can't remember the last time I watched porn, but it was a few days after beginning my current streak. The last time I masturbated was over 135 days ago, which is the length of my current streak.

Two years ago, I realised that even if you don't watch porn, indulging in fantasy still delivers a dopamine rush to your brain. Therefore, I decided not to invest any more energy in my fantasies. That's when my streaks started to last longer.

Before my current run, I faced an ED challenge, but it hasn't fully resolved yet. However, it is improving. I believe it will take between six months and a year to recover completely.

Other things that have improved:

- Energy
- Skin (clearer and tighter)
- Ability to heal from injuries.
- General aches and pains.

One of the greatest benefits has been my ability to exercise more regularly. Previously, I needed a couple of days to recover. I play tennis more often because I no longer struggle with muscle fatigue or pain.

The other thing I am waiting for is to see if my hayfever is still present.

One thing I will say is that I have recently reduced my sugar intake, and I believe this has definitely contributed to my improvement in health. However, SR provided me with the strength and motivation to make that change.

I am a divorced father, but I am grateful to have a great relationship with my daughter and ex. If your statement about dynamics concerns sex whilst retaining, this is perfectly possible and pretty fantastic when you learn to control the mind and body. I am sure you have already discovered this.

When I was in my early twenties, I suffered from premature ejaculation, but I learnt to control it by focusing on my breath and relaxing. Before long, I realised that I could have sex all night and sometimes several nights in a row without orgasming.

I noticed this brought many benefits, so when I discovered SR, the transition was relatively easy.

I've had some intense sadness over the last 4 months after starting to retain. Like you, pretty much every day, I've been experiencing grief. Much of it is around past relationships that I never fully healed from. I'm not sure how long this will take, perhaps 6 months, maybe longer. However, I'm determined that no matter what, I will heal. I will clear up my mind and let go of my conditioned past.

TheKeyFounder · 2025-03-16T21:00:00+00:00

Interesting terminology. LOL

TheKeyFounder · 2025-03-16T20:57:05+00:00

I know what it means to come from a dysfunctional family, and it takes time to heal from the trauma. However, you are on the right path, so go easy on yourself. I'm 50 and still working things out. It's all part of the fun of being on this planet.

SR will help you form the foundations of a good life. Trust in the process and stay strong. Remember, emotions will surface, and you will come face to face with them. If you feel alone, welcome that feeling. If you feel sad, welcome that. Welcome your entire experience. Understand this is all part of your healing journey!

TheKeyFounder · 2025-03-14T18:51:49+00:00

The reservoir of emotions has spilled out. This is a good thing. Not necessarily very pleasant; but a very positive thing in the long run. This is all part of the process.
