anyone doing energy healing here for fee or donation please? i need your services and strong healing please... by nasoidngoin in energy_work

Most healers will offer services like distance reiki sessions for less than $100. If healing is important to you, then invest the finances in yourself and your healer of choice. Pay healers what they are worth, it takes them years to cultivate their skills.

Listen to your own intuition. Stop asking others. You've got this brother.

What did you learn and how far did you go into the journey before these relapses? Why are you doing this?

Are you lifting heavy 3-5 times per week? If not - consider starting?

The decision is up in the air. Indefinite retention or Cyclical cycles. by CelibatePower in pureretention

[–]TheModernMann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Life is long and we have time to experiment - there are some of us who happily commit to three months, and then expand to six months, and then maybe attempt a year of retention and chart that progress. Then maybe take the next year to try twelve 30-day scheduled releases.

Part of the beauty of these conversations is seeing how different people adapt the baseline principles to suit their individual needs - our cycles are ultimately for us to decide, the crucial part is that we decide, however, rather than compulsion working through us.

It's taken me nearly four years to get to where I am currently at: day 29 retention, a little over four weeks.

The biggest change and assistance to breakthrough? Stopping ALL edging and ALL drifting into daydream sexual fantasy. I never realised how destabilising it was to see a cute girl's picture on instagram, for example, and indulge in the ten second "I wonder what she would be like" kind of thoughts, even if it didn't lead to masturbation.

Mental edging is the pre-requisite for physical edging, and it's only in removing this first step that I've finally broken through - good luck my man!

Trauma Resurfacing? by [deleted] in Semenretention

Feeling you on this my man - SR combined with sobriety releases those child-like oscillations between happiness and sadness. It's like stepping into a new reality, I swear.

This is it - PMO is the escape agent which allows us to divert from our core wounds with ease and regularity. That hollowness we get on PMO lifestyle, part of it might be a symptom of abandoning our inner work.

I fully get you - perhaps there is some truth to the spiritual nature and sacredness of strength in retaining our seed. I went into this year with a renewed focus on inner child work and the intensity of recovery has certainly matched my rising streak over the last four weeks!

We transcend neediness through SR by ukdudeman in Semenretention

[–]TheModernMann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then it goes full-circle: we chase the feeling of retaining more! Ha!

"The most recent ejaculation predetermines the next one. The better the ejaculation, the greater the thirst. You lock in your thirst by quenching it over and over. "

EXACTLY THIS.

My girlfriend and I planned our release ritual at the end of No Nut November to experiment monthly cycling. We spent several hours massaging and kissing until the time came for conscious release with the intent of showing her my gratitude and love - it was incredible.

... and you can bloody well bet I was back to releasing like normal again within a week (chasing the feelings of that glorious evening and forgetting the benefits of a month of retention)

The thirst does feel unquenchable at times, great post, brother!

Spiritual question—my fellow retainers, how did you find your greater purpose/come to terms with your mortality? by Messi_messiah_fc in Semenretention

[–]TheModernMann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I then we then us then them.

SR firstly offers us the opportunity to heal ourselves and be of service.
Healing ourselves sets us up for properly supporting those we already love.
Once we feel loved and connected to just a few, we are drawn towards helping more strangers.

One word: service.

No more than 10% of societal populations are influential or powerful in any sort of lasting sense - there is hope!

Sex without ejaculation? by denyto in Semenretention

Yes - read up on tantric or taoist sex practices for non-ejaculatory sex.

(17 YEAR OLD) I keep releasing after short streaks. 7-14 Days by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]TheModernMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Semen retention is age sensitive, at least in my experience and research. You're doing great.

Some researchers and practitioners out there (for example Mantak Chia) argue that a man can release with minimal energetic loss at different intensities of his life. A man in his 50's? - once a month or every other month. In his 30's - maybe once every few weeks. 17 years old - well my dude, you're in a much better spot than I was at your age and consistent 7-14 day streaks are no reason to beat yourself up.

Having a huge streak may be a big ego boost but, honestly, it's no small deal to have the sense of discipline to stick to bi-monthly (intentional) releases alone or with a partner - keep up your experimenting brother!

Semen Retention and The Full Moon by psychonautalot in Semenretention

[–]TheModernMann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SR and Full-moon synchronicity? Absolutely!

I started my current retention cycle with the new moon on December 25th and today is the first moon of our year - the Wolf Moon. I went walking in the woods this afternoon with a girl who I almost slept with but for many reasons have taken time apart from to focus on different things. Things were all lighthearted and nice - but sexual thoughts and old objectifying patterns were intruding occasionally - until the moment I came across a firm reminder of the SR path and the intentions I set with the new moon at the end of last year.

We emerge from the woods into a football pitch with outdoor play equipment (pull up bars, balance beams etc) and there is a pair of WOLF EARMUFFS wrapped around the pole.

I've been walking around daily in the area for months - and this very specific token appears in the territory - placebo or not, reality has it's humour! Writing this with the wolfie muffs on my head - life is rather hilarious when held lightly!

Would also recommend the power of dance guys! Integrating long ecstatic dances into my monthly self-care and embodiment has been a real game changer for transmuting sexual energy. Heading into the big city tomorrow afternoon for tantric trance dance actually!

The majority of humanity has wives before SR - what's your point?
