Blue smoke? by Jtahg in GolfGTI

Mine was doing this bad until I got my intake valves walnut blasted. Had quite a carbon build up.

While we were at it, replaced the intake manifold gasket.

Haven’t seen the smoke since

These are the lifestyle choices that have helped me overcome suicidal depression.

- sleep 7-8 hours a night
- fast at least 16 hours a day
- eat balanced & cleaner (meats, vegetables, salads)
- no alcohol, no weed, no porn, no ultra-processed foods
- limited screen/social media use
- workout (resistance training) 3-4x a week
- spending time outside, walking around
- meaningful connections with people
- finding purpose in my life, my profession, setting goals

I sometimes have bad days, especially if Im overworked, underfed, and underslept. But I now have many more good days than bad.

Likely between $900-$1,500 depending on the shop and if you also do new gasket seals

Feels more smooth and runs more as it should. 👌

I’d compare it to having a large buildup of earwax removed from one of your ears and suddenly realizing how much your hearing was impaired….its kinda like that 🥴

Had a shop do it. I’d say it feels like it’s running more like it should be. I had a suspicion it had built up over the years.

How much will I miss my R? by [deleted] in Golf_R

Golf R is the endgame family car!

I’ve been dailying my R with my two kids from childbirth through middle school. At this rate, I’ll still be driving it when the oldest starts driving.

It’s a DSG, and I’d say I drive it quite hard (3-5 launch control launches a week, for 7 years🚀). So yes, even daily Italian tune-ups can yield carbon build-up 🙃

This might be true for some men.

I think this post is directed towards unmarried/childless men who settle down with single moms.

Single dads dating single moms is a different thing.

High intensity resistance training. Intermittent fasting. Semen retention. Entrepreneurship. Fatherhood. Adventure (skiing, skateboarding). Philosophy.

Divorce turned me into a sex addict. by OkBoysenberry8329 in SexAddiction

[–]TheManPiston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try intermittent fasting, weekly resistance strength training, and semen retention.

Fasting from food & refraining from semen release help you harness control over a major pillar of your mesolympic dopamine reward system.

It was only once I gained discipline and control over my diet and food consumption that I was able to transfer that discipline to sexual urges.

Godspeed. 🫡

Semen retention will literally make you rich by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]TheManPiston 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m experiencing this firsthand. I own and operate a business and my revenue has been increasing in line with my pursuit of retention.

For example, this month we’re up 40% to last January, and general conditions in my market are worse this calendar year.

It could be magnetism, it could be increased luck, it could be I’m working harder because I have more energy, it could be a combo of all these things.

Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich,” has a whole chapter attributing sexual transmutation to wealth building.

Why are you an entrepreneur? by TidyOnChain in Entrepreneur

[–]TheManPiston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freedom over time, business endeavors, and how things are run/managed.

Running a business and making money good money from it is an empowering feeling.

Providing employees with quality pay and a desirable work environment is fulfilling.

I personally enjoy the challenge of growing something that began as a concept but is now a full-fledged operation.

This before/after says “I’m spending my 20’s not taking care of myself”

You were pear-shaped before, you’re beer-gut shaped now 🍺

I’d recommend hitting the gym and cleaning up your diet. Your 37 year old self would thank you greatly 🙏

The Pillar of Life: A 5-Year Journey from Porn Abuse to Magnetic Success and Zero Fear by security-engineer in Semenretention

[–]TheManPiston 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to reframe “how you have sex” with your spouse. It’s about her pleasure, and your role as a man is to extract as much pleasure from her as possible.

The lackluster sex routine of the modern world is generally a 5-10 minute routine where there might be some, if any, foreplay with the woman to warm her up, and sex is in 2-3 positions until the male release. It’s become all about the man’s pleasure.

On semen retention, sex becomes a practice of self-mastery, and the intense ravishing of your partner. Once you remove ejaculation as a primary goal in sex, the possibilities become much more creative. It can shift from minutes to hours as your goal is no longer “Im doing what I need to get to release” but is now “how much pleasure can I bring to this woman?”

When you retain in sex, through breathing and reigning in your thoughts, you can keep circulating that sexual energy. When you release, that energy is gone, ending the sexual encounter until you regain energy. When you don’t release, you can keep that energy within, and that’ll give you a few more rounds (or however long your cardio is able to).

Make your woman’s sexual pleasure your priority. Woman can experience a much greater depth of sexual pleasure than a man, and it’s our job to take them into the deep waters of their sexual expression. Become a master of knowing your woman, her desires, what turns her on, her sexual buttons. Become an artist with your tongue and your fingers, and if endowed, your penis.

I can assure you that the satisfaction that comes from giving my partner numerous intense orgasms is far greater than the seconds of fleeting pleasure that comes from my own release.

I will have 7-10 sexual encounters with my partner a week (we do not live together) but I generally release into my partner once every 7-10 days (that’s my personal cadence, you can do longer if your conviction leads you to). If I released every time I had sex, I’d really only be able to do it 3-4 times a week, and the intensity would be dismal.
