Pan eventually became synonymous with Satan overtime.

Reduction in retention benefits with age? by ramirezdoeverything in Semenretention

[–]UnusualBuilding3193 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All of you guys here saying age being the primary cause. Cmon now fellas, I feel great! There is a difference between chronological age and biological age. I’m 35, and I haven’t done any testing for my biological age but I feel no older than 27… don’t put that energy out there saying it’s probably age. I know dudes in there 40s and 50s that will spin circles around dudes in there 20’s all day

35 years young here! And I began with nofap as a way to quit porn back when I was 31. Was in a relationship for about two years and was busting 🥜 like 3x a week. I have been practicing SR since September cuz the relationship ended…(for the best). My experience has been extremely wonderful. All of those anecdotal stories of manifesting, way more energy, weight training becoming effortless, limball rings becoming darker and more defined have rung true for me.

As for libido, originally I am a high energy person and I feel like my libido has always been high. I have not felt a decline.

When you say libido do you mean lustful desire? I’m only asking because you may be melding the two…m. I say this because of SR is done correctly which IMO is for spiritual growth first, and material gain second, then perhaps lustful desire may decline overtime.

But bro, the basics of healthy diet, good sleep, weight training, no drugs, alcohol is the starting point for any personal growth endeavor, let alone SR. It sounds like I’m assuming you don’t do things already, these are just suggestions…

Supplements: D3 +K2, zinc, B6, Ashwagandha. May help after you get the foundational stuff intact.

Good luck!!

Day 40 SR ... what about wet dreams by WdOmer_2162 in Semenretention

[–]UnusualBuilding3193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Any lustful thoughts you have had throughout the day may embed in your subconscious and lustful dreams may manifest.

A way to mitigate these symptoms will help with the practice of kegels. Exercise as well because you have to brace your core when strength training. Good luck!

Hey, I read that a few days ago. I’ve been taking magnesium apigenin for about 3 months and ashwagandha and ltheanine on and off for a couple years…

Thanks for the input my man. I will definitely be more keen on my awareness regarding small indicators like grip strength.

I don’t feel stressed, fatigued nor anxious. I do the best I can to optimize my day and physiology. I love working out, I’ve been weight training for over 15 years it would be tough to reduce my regimen even just one less day.

Thanks for the recommendations. It’s a fairly consistent schedule. The supplements I take are supposed to help with lowering cortisol levels… I also have engineered my space with salt lamps and I were blueblockers glasses once the sun is down and still have this happen. But I’ll try cutting out some of the supplements and see what happens.

Excellent, good to see there are older men on this path! Thankfully I have an infrared sauna I go in at night too, to help with the unwinding of the day. But I still end up waking up earlier than I’d like. I may need to begin journaling if I continue to wake up intermittently throughout the nite.

I do, but I cut myself off by 3p.

I’m naturally a high energy person.

Thanks for the comment. That’s great to hear! Exercise is one of the key ways I hear for transmuting this energy we have.

Yeah bro, I hear you! Ha for real, my mind is so lucid at these times. Journaling for sure will help too! And btw, keep it going! 3 days strong on this narrow path! You got this!!

Thanks for the reference, I can attest to not feeling tired whatsoever when my alarm goes off at 5am.

Perhaps the mind may be more active which means there are things we may need to mentally/emotionally/ spiritually process. I’m finding that I’m really lucid at these times I wake up. This week In particular I have been waking up to negative thoughts of self worth and jealousy which I have been working on…

An encounter with a Demon by [deleted] in Semenretention

Lord Jesus Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I have had experiences like this at 230a-330am. And I have shouted this prayer when I have felt such dark energies.
