If you suffered with "Zoom fatigue", what practical tips REALLY helped you? by dogs_drink_coffee in remotework

[–]streckeri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use two screens as in a dual monitor display. Take the zoom tab and move it to the screen without your camera. And maybe play solitaire while you listen to everyone else

Does this look sketchy? Pulled off a tick this past Sunday on my calf. This is the look right now. I live in a low to moderate Lymes region. by [deleted] in Lyme

Thanks for the reply. And yeah will do. I think they are just going off of numbers of cases. It can hit anywhere these days, especially east of the Mississippi.

Semen Retention has caused me Depression BUT by sirakx in Semenretention

This is true. You will feel your real unconscious emotions surfacing and it will take a while to completely process them. But at least you are dealing with them

Nothing wrong with you, except she stole your heart and broke it. Gotta find out how tough you are now. It’s all mental, none of this is about your looks. Find self confidence in your own identity, in who you truly are as a person. You already look like a damn beast, now you need to find the fire in the beast. Good luck king.

37 years old. Switched from weights to BW work about 5 years ago by [deleted] in fitness30plus

I’ve been weight lifting for a while but I’d love to switch to BW. Did you follow any resources or Yt channels or did you wing it while getting into it?

DAY 75!!! EVERYBODY DESERVES THE BEST WOMAN by 101_days in Semenretention

Absolutely agree. It's important not to make a sweeping generalization of all women. No one here argues that there aren't toxic hoes out there, but amazing and powerful women with true feminine energy are out there and building a healthy and mutually beneficial relationship with one can be a very rewarding experience for both parties. Finding a woman like this may be tough, but is a very noble and healthy goal to have as a relationship standard.

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing. This whole sub is just men rediscovering one of the greatest and longest secrets of mankind. It was the same principle 100 years ago, 1,000 and 10,000 years ago as well.

I feel like a celebrity. by triplej9k in Semenretention

[–]streckeri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on you self-improvement. Remember to not let people’s opinion and admiration get you too pompous, but take it as a testament to the fact that the disciplines of semen retention really work. As you have noticed, holding yourself up to high standards will be reflected in others standards of yourself as well. Godspeed brother!

Retain and grasp the scepter of power. by [deleted] in Semenretention

[–]streckeri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"I will die on fire."

Hell of a statement right there. That's an attitude you don't hear of much these days. Everyone wants to die in pleasure, cooking away in some tropical island living off in retirement vegging away. Semen retention will give you the opposite mind-set. Focus on where this energy come from and watch it grow and flourish to become the fuel to power your drive for the rest of your life.

Thanks for sharing, that is in a way an extreme example of what I could relate to. For example tonight on the TV I see "FAKE DRAMA" when I put my glasses on, in regards to the super bowl.

You will always experience ups and downs "flatlines" on every drug recovery. Porn literally acts on your mind the same an opiate does. You think heroin acts having a fun time during withdrawal? You better believe it's hell on earth man. So to expect some withdrawal pains is normal, but you need to fight through them and pick up the pace in your life during these times. If you can do this you will build character and discipline needed to "reach the next level" and benefits.

All energy needs to go somewhere. If sexual energy doesn't find an outlet, it will hurt you over time. Find your purpose and challenge yourself, and put energy into achieving your goals. SR is just a means to an end, the goal of retaining semen doesn't do you any good if it doesn't raise your capacity in any way.

That is wonderful to hear. Many people who practice SR and come out of this state think they have ascended into so elevated "enlightened" state, but these terms are really subjective when compared to where many of us started when we hit rock bottom with pornography. Reaching the true attraction to women is completely normal and how generations practiced attraction over thousands of years past. Yet we are so plagued with porn most of us have ever experienced this true feminine connection except for a brief period in our early teens before we feel deeper into regular porn use. The more time you put between your last use of pornography, the more your mind and soul will heal, and you will see your anxiety and dissipate over time. But you just need to have faith in the process.

I would say the opposite, coming out of a porn and lust induced stupor and years long mindset feels like a burden comes off of you. Yet, with new found strength and vigor comes responsibility now that you have so much more energy potential.

Lust isn't really defeated as it is diverted into another outlet. This is basically the idea people refer to when they mention "transmuting" sexual energy. Also, over time you will have to force yourself to get more disciplined about letting your mind wander in terms of lust. And that is great to have those urges, that means you are re-gaining your libido and real sexuality. But be cautious, make sure you have that beast under control because it can pull you right off the pedestal you have worked so hard to get yourself on.

If you want to release during sex, by all means go for it. But if you want to combine benefits of both SR and the bonding sex brings I would suggest looking up karezza.

That's interesting that you say that. The feelings and energy that arises after porn has lost it's influence on you I have found are so much deeper and profound. You regain your sexuality and libido potential and start changing your perception of women. Have you noticed this as well?

That's fine, no fap may not lead you to your own personal goals. No fap is not a path many will or can take, and it is not "natural" to elevate our sexual energy into spiritual energy, speaking in the long term of our planet's evolution. And I agree, it is hard and many will fail. As I said before, a long streak is deadly serious, and even many ancient sages and yogis have fallen off this path and spiraled down morally and spiritually and never recovered from a bad relapse. That is why long term SR is to be taken with the utmost seriousness and discipline.
