The best choices I've ever made: Cold water shower every morning. Daily meditation routine, at least 30 min book reading, no porn and semen retention, intermitting fasting and intense weight training. The old me is slowly dying. Something new is getting born. I love life. It's great to be man.
@@joey--j I'm calmer, sleep better, more happier and energized when I start my day. The immune system is like the shield of Captain America. No booster for me. Never. But most of all it's a spiritual and character building thing. To start every morning with ice cold shower gives you a certain will power and discipline. That's the best benefit if you ask me.

Being on Semen Retention for about 3 years I can definitely say you will receive something that many men won’t experience in this lifetime. Energy, confidence, life attraction, more drive, better relationships, etc.
@@DrWhom You are the Devil himself. Many studies that have proven otherwise and I am on it and it actually did me more good than damage. In fact, I 100% co-sign what Dr. Trish is saying from experience.
@@joelxl635 imagine that a woman with no semen telling you who actually does and seeing the results but you are wrong....you can't make this shhhhh up man.
One month in and I never thought I could make it this far. Noticed improvements with clearer speech and memory recall/less brain fog as well as being more open and socially adventurous.
Just fap already, coomer. The thing is, if you don’t coom in a couple of weeks your own body will make you coom while you are asleep. This is nonsense.
19mths nofap so far. Absolutely changed my brain, habits, focus, productivity, spiritual Communication into daily beneficial outcomes. Thanks Dr Trish.
Please give tips for example what habit changes? what did you do when the major urge hit? Did you have anxiety before? did you have low esteem before? What about now? There are very few people who get out of this mess so i am quite curious of what changes you implemented or experienced during your journey
@@Chachu831 Agreed there are very few people who are able to maintain awareness and control of their limbic system. Think of your own habits. Are you a slave to your dopamine Always wanting to gratify your urges, desires. What if you went cold turkey, stopped one self gratification habit. Semen retention becomes so functional it directly cancels associated habits like adult porn. Major urges change rapidly to become insights, clarity, genuine thoughts. Self esteem changes to integrity. If you have the power to create another living soul. It should appeal to you to work closely with your own beneficial eternal energy.
@@Chachu831 i have anxiety depression and low self esteem.. Im on Day7 on nofap now my strength got better more endurance my sleep is better like a baby and it helps me to be discipline and be optimistic it gave me positivity... But i cant do this alone without the help of God Lord Jesus Christ give me guidance and wisdom its all connected and also self confidence is on progress because it will feel that you have achieved great progress.. Stay strong and God Bless
Semen retention is the best self improvement decision I've ever made. I'm 53 days in. Used to suffer depression, multiple forms of constant anxiety, overthinking, low self esteem, you name it. 3 weeks into retention I've felt confidence I've never felt before. I don't overthink, I'm happier, anxiety has dropped hard, I'm thinking about situations clearly and more objectively and I notice the looks people give me. I interact with others in ways I've never interacted before. Do it fellas. It's worth it. Edit: I should add. I've done no edging. I've kept my hands off my junk completely. The only sexual content I've seen is stuff I accidentally come across on social media.
I have done Semen Retention now for nearly (August 2020) 3 years. What has happened to me is that I have lost over 120 pounds and my Type 1 diabetes is nearly gone from my body. I am so glad that God has had a difference in my life and retraining. Being at 66 I am becoming a new man for God.
@@dnix5283 I was wrong when typing I have Type Two (2) diabetes. And yes losing weight is a good thing. Also, I have stopped eating bread, and ice cream, sodas, and maintained a pure protein diet. I don't drink, or use any type of illegal drugs, so that is the best. I am not on any meds for anything. I am 66 years old and just living day to day as best as I can with what has been given to me.
Dont confuse semen retention with Fat loss, weight lost isnt even a good thing if is not the right kind of weight loss Basically since you are eating only protein, you are leaving out most of the Sweet stuff, when you taste sweet, you tell your brain that Sugar is coming, and that produces a Insulin High and Insulin stimulates the build of Fat Even Diet sweeteners can produce this but at much less effect vs sugar because sugar have fructose and fructose processing on our body basically makes it straight into fat and is also toxic as alcohol would be Now if you are also losing muscle, that is a bad thing but the protein intake and regular exercise should solve that Now the Semen retention as the doctor said, its a bad thing because you need to release the old semen so you are able to replenish with new ones, and the body will even force you with wet dreams to release But if you are also doing NoFap that will make your dopamine levels more neutral and will give you more will to keep a healthy and balanced life
Going on 3 months of celibacy and I am amazed at the mental focus and clarity, ambition and drive. There are many myths surrounding semen retention and transmutation of sexual energy, and I can only attest to my own experience but I believe that it has definitely transformed my life in amazing ways and would encourage anyone who is still wondering which way to go in life and in need of drive and ambition vs dopaminergic depletion to try it.
@@fillopidup1644 Not to my knowledge, but full disclosure I have been working on transmuting energy from the base chakra up through the other 6 and unclogging any stale energy so that I see women more as people than objectifying them as objects of gratification and I believe the ideas that are there have kind of pushed out the other ones that were there. Everyone has their own journey but "I won't back down" and travel the old road any longer, not worth it.
You're like a breathe of fresh air. I remember being addicted to this garbage throughout my entire childhood and every time I searched on google about whether it was healthy I was flooded with articles telling me it's healthy and may even be beneficial. So many lies, but thank god I finally know the truth.
Semen retention is something that u don t need no one to say if is good or bad, if is beneficial or not... Men should go on this journey experience by itself
@@spiritual_king2375 I can tell you what it's did for me. It sky rocked my testosterone levels, I am super energetic, I am very focussed, confident, motivated and productive. I see it in all area's of my life. From interaction with women, with people in general, my will to learn things and physically also feeling great and not tired. I am trying to motivate other guys/men as well. It's so crazy to think that I had a certain behavior for years without even realizing how that impacted my life until I got off of it.

@@polarvortex6601 She can only see the world from her perspective. More than 60% of the men under age 35 in the US have no sexual interactions at all, but only about 30% of women report the same. This is only mathematically possible if they share the same small pool of men.
First of all, semen retention means different things to different people. To many of us, it simply implies "self-control" in one's sexuality. It is abstinence, avoidance of exposure to unnecessary cues and a renewal of our minds with laudable contents for a higher purpose. Sex is good no question about it but it is only good when done with the right person and at the right time. Just because the person is willing to have sex doesn't mean that it is the right person nor the right thing to do. Life is more complex than we are willing to admit. A partner can fall ill or die, or simply become less attractive sexually. One spouse can be deployed in war to some remote countries for months on end. Higher values such as self control should be the compass of our lives. It is essential for us men to be able to claim back the control over our sexuality. By the way, going towards 6 months of semen retention
@@nandhakishor103 Not whining just stating a fact. Feminism has made both women and men lonely as 80% of the women compete for 20% of the men. Most men are invisible while the women get dumped over and over again by top tier guys.
@@alouiciousjackson5812 In the end it's peoples' choice. That's what I mean. We shouldn't be disappointed by others' decisions about their lives or their lifestyle. Focus on things you can control
You are the only Dr on YT i've come across that makes sence and gets to the point. I am in my 30's and this was me my whole life. One will never understand less they fapped almost every single day for like 20+ years to know the dangerous effects it has on ones mental health and Dopamine. Thanks for the inspiring video.
ua-cam.com/video/hpknuWDfB_U/v-deo.html. I urge everyone to watch Dr Marty Klein for a very different view on this and masterbation. He has a very common sense approach to sexuality and is tops in his field. He has many videos on youtube. This woman views are on the extreme.
I'll tell you the real struggle, is for people like myself, who don't have any desire of pursuing a woman to establish a relationship. Our society spends so much time discussing the issues that men have, but so little time discussing how our society has effected women from a relationship standpoint. I work in settings with lots of successful women, and they all agree, they have commitment issues and they can't see the benefit of being faithful in our modern time, because there's always someone better or more exciting that comes along. With the thought process of so many of the women I deal with being that, it seems like the dumbest thing a man can do is invest so much of his time and resources into someone who could so easily just get bored and decide they want to try something new.
"Sin for a season" is what I'd call it. Sooner or later these women will realize that they can't play the field on the same basis as their younger counterparts.
Amen Brother. Porn never cost me over $200K, gave me venereal warts, an e.coli infection, took a child from me or cheated. I don’t have much experience about the damage of porn on the brain but I have a real world understanding of the damage modern women cause to a man who was always faithful and shared his resources. All my fantasies were in “real” relationships. I don’t have to fantasize about porn. It is what it is. It’s women acting like women, only doing more of what men like and being paid real money instead of pretending they like doing those things, not being paid for it and resenting men more each day. Fortunately, I made more money, got rid of the diseases, got used to the child being gone and got over any idea of women adding much value to a healthy, honest, hardworking man. I don’t dislike women. They just have no sense of the definitions men place on fidelity, respect and discipline. I’m happy woman have men’s jobs and men’s pay. That’s more money for them to feed the cats when they hit 35 and no men are interested anymore. And by the way, when am I going to hear from a woman “influencer” how the dopamine hit of a drawer full of vibrators and dildos damages a woman’s psyche? Are men the weaker sex now?
I am currently 14 months into a SR streak, beforehand I had a 10 month streak from oct. 2021 to august 2022 after which I intentionally tried some form of irregular "pressure valve". First time I came across no fap was in 2019 when I found Paul Joseph Watsons video on "the coomer". I am very thankful to him for making that video even when I'm not much of a politics kind of person especially in a biased way as you got on social media. The coomer is so accurately representative of what pron does to a man that it frightened me. It did unfortunately take me over a year until I actually stopped entirely in the sense that I didn't have any more "little peaks". I find that the only alternative to SR may be pressure valve where you release when the urge becomes too annoyingly strong (but this is not necessary as seen by these crazy streaks some of the men here have going on), the big rule here is that you release to no stimulus at all. Obviously no pron, that is a given, but also no sound and no imagination. You stare at a wall or focus on a colour and simply get it done. This way you train yourself to not see masturbation as an alternative to sex which is so important. It is NOT a replacement for sex and it cannot be, its why "cooming" makes you feel frustrated, hopeless and lonely. I sincerely find it disturbing that pron is even allowed, for once the people in charge could do something useful by banning utter brain rot like pron or short form content but not even that happens while there is, as you put it, stacks of evidence that this stuff has 0 positives but countless, endless, horrific negatives. But then again think of how much money they make with it. Money rules after all. It makes people go stupid. I also want to hint at the crazy amount of criminals that have TBs of pron on their devices. A lot of people go down the bad route because of this stuff. However it seems harder than ever for men to find a partner, there are statistics claiming that while 60%+ of 18-30 year old men are single only 35% of women that age are. I've always been an above average looking guy and I have had lots of trouble finding partners and this is also where I want to debunk the myths that SR will make you a female magnet. Maybe indirectly there are some things that make you more desirable but most of the stuff people will tell you are completely exaggerated or entirely made up. The discipline and self control you gain and therefore the confidence and manly qualities are where it's at. Another thing I want to talk about is that it's so hard for men to keep up their streaks because of soft pron. The world and especially the internet are infested by it. Soft pron is your usual "fitness influencer" page but you get this all over UA-cam and other platforms as well. It is on you to not click and to ignore the constant "invitations" when it comes to this, to me soft pron is not much different from pron itself. It is a CURSE that we men are given. Constant readiness to go idiotic horny mode. It's like an ugly monster that you contain, but contain it you MUST.
She’s never been a man, never had semen, never personally known what it feels like to retain for 6 months or a year. At best, she’s talking from anecdotal experiences of other men, at worst its all pure conjecture and speculation. Would be as stupid as me making a video on “Exactly what it feels like to start breastfeeding”
Stupidest comment I've ever seen. Do you really think a DOCTOR has to have experienced the negative things present in your life to be able to speak intelligently about your condition? Are you really saying you would only take advice to lower your sugar intake from a physician that is a diabetic? Or advice about effects of tobacco use from a physician that lost a lung to cancer? Try to think through your arguments before making a fool of yourself. 🤦🏻♂️
@@stuff4232I clicked on the video because I always thought semen retention was dubious bro science and wanted to hear a professional opinion, but all she talked about was men being addicted to porn. My last partner was the one addicted to porn, not me, and it made it hard to connect with her, so I didn't get anything out of it.
@@davidborgerding8429 it's not tho, obviously women aren't going to wait in line for you especially if you're average looking. but you'll have less tolerance for bullshit. this means you will easily be able to distinct high quality from low quality women and you won't waste time and energy pursuing the ones who don't add value to your life basically it raises your standards in women. but you still have to approach them if you're interested in them
I'm coming up to 150 days of semen retention. I have already said goodbye to social anxiety, depression, procrastination, poor diet, bad sleeping patterns. I feel I'm 3 times the man I used to be.....I'm happier, more socially engaging, and am excelling at work and my main interest BJJ. I'm listening to a lot more audiobooks, have taken up breathwork sessions, have a way healthier mind, will continue on this journey. Fapping rots the mind of a man, you should never waste a single drop of your seed, it's your life energy and it surges through you after 90 days of retention.....believe me, hard work pays off.
Semen retention doesn't work, the reason it "works" is because people learn to be disciplined which motivates you to eat healthier, exercise etc. It doesnt work so just go nut. It was proven false. It's dumb how society tries to stop masturbation, we've been jerking it for eons. Just only fap at night time.@@markn9619
Basically the number 1 motivation for me to quit long term is the desire for a clean conscience and self- respect. When I abstain my self esteem goes up I feel proud of myself, and I pray about it and feel the guilt go away over time. Nothing better than a clean conscience and reclaiming your Dignity as a man
Wow, how many things could be said here? 1. Easiest way to not orgasm again? Get married. 2. I retain my semen. I was told to save it for when I got married. I just started on my second gallon jug. 3. Within a few days of nofap I was sleeping better and a clearer head. Within a few weeks I was focused enough that I got a promotion at work and I set new records while working out. After a few months I was elected mayor and then governor. After 6 months I defeated Thanos on my own and didn't need any of the other Avengers. After a year I was able to be the most powerful being in the universe and then became the universe.
Not even going to listen to this, not that I’m opposed to it, but because of the simple fact that it is a woman talking about semen retention… I know the benefits from application of information and experience, not just accumulation of information.
It would be helpful if she talked about finding a partner in more detail. For guys in their 30's or 40's, it's not exactly easy. Online dating is terrible and there aren't many places to meet people that don't involve alcohol.
As I listened to you and examined my younger days involving unhealthy sexual behavior, I could see the consequences that led to self destruction. I am grateful for you reaching out and hopefully helping those who suffer from unhealthy behavior that never fulfills.
After watching I've finally convinced myself to stop touching myself, quitting porn, and I'm praying to let go of resentment and replace it with gratefulness for all I have in the love of God. Bless you for your words.
Same here brother. I’m almost 2 weeks sober no beer or alcohol and no porn/fapping. I’ve been an atheist for 13 years and had no discipline. I pray God gives us the strength to stay on the right path
i do it on and off consistently. so one week on one week not so strict. I am married so take that into consideration. weeks where i don't do the obvious this happens: 1) get more work done 2) feel more energy 3) stronger at the gym 4) have better female attraction too and from. 5) have better mood 6) Able to sleep less and still have a lot of energy 7) faster physical and mental reaction. 8) better memory
I was just thinking the happiest most guys are is when your a little kid when sex wasn't even thought about and retention was natural not saying there's anything wrong with sex but just something to think about
Yep, like when I was younger watching Three's Company with my brother back in the 80's, and any sexual innuendos just went over our heads, or organizing our baseball cards, or playing with our Hot Wheels on our Pac-Man bedspreads. It was also fun play fighting with my Masters of the Universe characters or reading the TV Guide to see what was coming on.
A man has to keep the pipes clear. Worst thing he can do is take it to the edge and stop and leave it there. Clogging up and infection can happen. Ask any urologist. Clear the pipes routinely, however you have to do it.
They wouldn't give us the tools to something they are trying to actively destroy. They want week men bc it's what runs the system we are currently in. The forces that be want us down. I was learning abought Greek society they taught that desire and love were different and that a man that acted on desires was a lesser man.
@@nbamaniac Only in her mind.It's obvious to me she is repulsed by male masturbation which is a subject she can read up on but not experience.

I wonder what she will do when she catches her husband cracking one off for masturbate he does,just like the rest of the male population.
It's been 1.5 years since I'm into NoFap stuff and honestly I've gone through so many different aspects of it and I did so many experiments and research on this topic and this video is the complete summary of all that experience. I know there's always more to explore but still, this video includes most of the stuff. So basically I wanna say is that if you're a beginner, you can definitely trust each and everything she said and move on your journey.
@@man.i.literally.failed6772 I mean like I discovered NoFap 1.5 years ago. I've relapsed a lot of times in that period and I don't really care about them anymore. I don't force it into my life. my last relapse was 21 days ago.
I've been on it nearly a year and it's fantastic. Productivity and energy is through the roof, confidence and ambition is forever strong and I only give respect to the women who deserve it - as well as no longer seeing them as distracting objects meant to be 'won'

Whether ejaculation is deliberately suppressed or not is a question about medical science. But whether one does it by oneself or not if one has a partner is a moral question which has nothing to do with physical health.
The "500 lb. gorilla" being overlooked in this lecture about "healthy" sexuality is having a partner as interested, as eager and willing as you are. If the partner isn't interested anymore, and says so plainly, the alternatives are pretty limited to either staying in a sexless relationship, getting out of one, cheating, abstaining altogether, or "re-wiring" your brain. So, what alternative choices did I miss?
@@HotelCharliHill Doing what is required? Really? Beyond being respectful and committed, faithful, honest and very tactile, I'm not sure what else to do. What I am sure of is that every issue affecting a relationship can't all be one partner's responsibility/ fault.
That's true. so what are you doing that is serving as some sort of a detractor? Do you do anything that shows her you're listening to her desires? I noticed a lot of good things there, but nothing understanding her and helping her romantically? How is your hygiene (that's covered under "respectful" but not every guy understands how critical that is).@@TheCoupe06 And true, she probably has some issues herself she needs to work on. Do you ever pray to ask God to help you show her His love so she will grow and love Him more? The more she loves Him the more she will love you as her husband.
Sometimes the 'gorilla' is obese, and won't do anything about it..... after 40+ years of marriage. Then add on a 'could care less about the next time we have sex' attitude, and I turned to porn. Still trying to find the right path forward. Thanks for the video though. Makes you really think.
I've been fapping for 33 years and I haven't had semen retention longer than 14 days. I have a partner that I've been with for 20 years and I definitely have a "secret fap" problem and shame about it. Learning from these videos is really eye opening for me so thank you.
@@Abhimanyu_3k tbh I would like to hope that my small but recent success’s mean something. In the past 10plus years I don’t believe I have been able to go a month. Earlier this year I believe I almost went 2 weeks and today might make 2 weeks for me. Idc about the NNN trend but surprisingly I just happened to stop about a week before and I’ve been better than usual. It’s crazy because I still have the bad habit of searching it. But I haven’t done anything and I’m not mad about it. They say it takes 21 days to break a habit this it’s a bit deeper than something that goes away in 3 weeks but I’ve always had that in my head so that way I can just have that small first goal. But yeah I genuinely would like to attempt to never jerk off again. Not even for the whole idea of self improvement but just because it’s a genuine waste of time. Let alone energy that can be used towards other things.
In my experience and in observing others' variations on semen retention, I have concluded that there is no one right way that fits everyone. I was not able to retain (and I don't mean edging, but simple abstinence) without extreme testicular pain after about 3 weeks. So I tried the "healthy" scheduled m session (not p, just m), and it was a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it de-stressed me and allowed me to walk comfortably! But it had a built-in curse because it only heightened the desire to use p again or just became intrusive to my thoughts as I obsessively looked forward to the next session. After giving in and starting over umpteen times (and luckily being in a healthy relationship for years now and no longer needing p or m), I can honestly say: p (more than m) is an insatiable thing that has always taken more from me than it promised, and even just m is too slippery of a slope to consider it more than just a temporary lesser evil en route to a healthy sexual relationship. I think a "healthy" scheduled m session should only be seen as a temporary half way house, not something to accept long term. Thanks for another great video!
@@liggmabawls5634 everything's good with moderation, what's bad is going on the extreme like not using your junk occasionally can increase your chances of getting erectile dysfunction later as you age.
Increasing testosterone makes men want to fight and have sex with lots of women so abstaining i could see may naturally cause frustration and increased desire that sounds normal.
Semen retention, self improvement, and trying to be a better person in general changed my outlook about myself. And the world. It's never too late. Don't give up. You can do this.
Holy hell, this explained so much about my life since I was in high school. The binky analogy made so much sense to me. I’ve been at semen retention/ no porn for a month and I no longer feel like a horn dog wanting to hump everything in sight. I am a little sad that I exhibited a lot of the negative behaviors associated with porn consumption and excessive masturbation during my last relationship, but I have a much clearer goal for my next partner.

She'll hit multiple 10's, before you get to 7 and develop the mastery of #11. SR is a process and a lifestyle...
I'm 73 and have not had sex with a woman since i changed my diet to strict vegan when i did i quit smoking, drinking and had no desire for sex that was 37 years ago, i have no addictions, i love sports and open wheel dirt car racing but nothing controls me but me!

What happens when SR starts effecting your bladder, which happened to me 2 months in. I was struggling with this from my prostate getting really full of fluid pressing into my bladder. After 72 days I had a huge release and things were fine again. Haven't retained longer than 72 days because of this issue :(
Never edge when you're on semen retention. If tempted, just release and reset. It's better to release and start over. When you keep edging, you're messing up the process of retaining which will have negative feedback in your brain. You need the purity of semen retention without compromising your journey and that's how you build up the benefits.
I've edged only a few times and I am on day 6 right now of semen retention, there's no rule that says you can't edge, that's some NoFap crap telling us to cut off everything cold turkey till you just end up frustrated and give in again. At least I am retaining semen and keeping my vitality and nutrients im not wasting my life essence. Some of us got a lot of testosterone, urges and high sex drives and just stopping everything at once and taking a cold shower never worked for me.
@@joelxl635 Edging is very bad for your brain. You're just giving yourself an excuse for you to continue with your lust while using semen retention as a way for you to feel relieve that you're on it to gain benefits. To sum it up, you're fooling yourself and not completely serious with self-improvement.
@@joelxl635 I don't think you get the point. As I mentioned, edging is very bad for your brain because you are practically sending overload of dopamine to your brain receptor while not receiving any reward for it. I understand you are on the path of semen retention, but that's a very bad mix when you edge because you aren't fullfilling what's needed to tackle the journey wholeheartly. Nofap and Semen Rentention are not the same. Saying you are on semen retention while refusing to abstain yourself isn't semen retention at all. Edging eventually will lead you to release it no matter how much you try to delay the process of holding it. It's best to release the semen rather than constantly edge. It's more safe and rewarding. Edging while on semen retention also have adverse effect which can put you into flatline such as having low energy and anxiety.
@@soulvibes08 Well I don't want to keep ejaculating and feeling tired but if I edge I actually control myself better. I just stop everything especially since I never had a relationship nor sex before it's not easy, I'd rather have little benefits from SR and edging than stop everything and just end up sexually frustrated. I would prefer to have never done this to be honest but it's the only way out for me or I'll live depressed with low energy.
@@joelxl635 well, that's your personal choice, but i'm just letting you know that releasing it rather than edging is much safer mentally. Practicing semen retention also helps you gain confidence . If you can be able to retain for 2 weeks without touching yourself i think it will help you to find what's you're missing. It requires great discipline and sacrifice to accomplish. Make yourself busy. Find a hobby that can entertain you while retaining. The only reason you can't control your sexual urge is because you got used to it for a long time and you don't want to let go of that pleasure feeling.
I am practicing semen retention since couple of years and I don't have any bad effects. My current streak is day 776. I improved a lot physically and mentally both. Even Steve Jobs, Mike Tyson, Da Vinci, Swami Vivekananda practiced it. To the haters of semen retention I wanna say it that don't practice it if you don't want but don't spread hatred here about it when you have not experienced it!
Okay, I'm confused. I understand that Porn and Masturbation isn't healthy, but is she saying semen retention isn't good either even if you quit masturbation and porn? I'm seeing a lot of comments here about how semen retention changed their life, which is what I'm curious about, but it seems like she's talking more about the dangers of masturbation, porn, and edging more so than semen retention itself. She doesn't talk at all about how semen retention can help in other ways, she makes it sound like most men have a woman in their lives currently. I'm interested in practicing semen retention to attract the right partner.
I'm just wary of the prostate ramifications of NoFap / semen retention. I keep hearing that if you've been an excessive ejaculator for years or decades, and you suddenly go NoFap - and do it for too long - your chances of getting prostate cancer increase dramatically. Thoughts?
Look up the Nocebo effect, it explains a lot of those illnesses people get in different contexts. Just suppressing natural desires is not a good thing IMO, it just creates stress and friction, in other words negative mental energy, and negative mental energy can cause physical illness. Which body parts that are affected by the negative energy generally depends on the context. In this context your mind is focused on the sexual organs which means that the negative mental energy the suppression of sexual desire can create may affect them negatively. So yes, prostate cancer may definitely make sense here. Some good general info about the placebo/nocebo effects here: ua-cam.com/video/LWQfe__fNbs/v-deo.html If you want to dig really deep into the mind/body connection and the psychological causes of illness etc., I can recommend "The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts, as well as other of her books. The Indian guru Mirra Alfassa (AKA The Mother) taught a kind of yoga where you had to transcend sexual desire and other "lower" desires in order to become enlightened. But she explicitly said that this was not for everyone, only for those who were ready for it - practicing celibacy if you're not ready for it will just make you a worse rather than a better person. We had a Hari Krishna guy in a spiritual newsgroup who practiced celibacy just by suppressing his desires which he admitted was hard (he used to be a sex addict). The psychological effect of this was obvious to everyone, he was extremely arrogant and aggressive and called everyone which weren't up to his standards, like people eating meat, for idiots and things like that. I've heard that yogis who practice celibacy can be extremely aggressive and angry also. George Ohsawa says in Zen Macrobiotics: "All those who are vexed and angry, inside or out, are Puritans: they shrink from sexuality, are impotent, and can never enter the kingdom of heaven." There are a lot of different opinions and perspectives to consider in this matter, and a lot of different techniques and methods to choose from. As always, people are different and what works for one may not work for another. Sadhguru here on youtube talks a lot about these things, try a search on "sadhguru celibacy".
This woman is not a medical doctor. She is a "neuroscientist" that has a phd, and she is a "life coach" LOL.. Look at her bio. Big freaking difference, as in another 10 years of school. She never went to any medical school, never did a medical internship, or the 4 years you have to do AFTER that as well to be a real doctor. Ask a real MD, not a pretend youtube one.
@@kellykraft832ahhh you don’t always have to have a doctor tell you what’s good for you or not. Infact something’s are bad for you and good for others.
I'm no expert, but this really seems to be spot- on. Very thorough and objective perspective of a topic that is more complicated than one might think. Excellent job!
I agreement without what Dr. Says I but from my experience I can say that in semen retention You can have orgasms without ejaculation Andrzej feel satisfied , she is a women and maybe dont understand this, don't call her fake , she seems very genuine person, she is very helpful.
Imma die one day anyway, no amount of semen retention will prevent that. I'm not a "weaker individual" for masturbating. Others aren't "stronger individuals" because they don't. How people feel is oftentimes figurative. I laugh when I see comments like, "I see the way people look at me now that I don't touch myself" I'm like "WHAT with their EYES!?!" Like c'mon man. Stopped touching yourself now you're born again? Crazy.
I've just relapsed, after 5 years. I felt and still feel quite demolished, low, also my brain/mind doesn't help me the way it did before. Anytime I sinned worse happenings in my life or slower progress followed me, things in general changed for the worse; also in the way people unknown to me, unrelated, on the street as I was walking, looked at me differently in a worse not very pleasant happy manner, like I was guilty of something or a not so good person or something. Many times I've noticed. Best thing to do in no-fap but not the only one is to confess this sin to your father confessor, if you happen to be Orthodox or Catholic. Without spiritual measure I very much doubt real progress in psychological/neuro realm.
Thank you, Trish. That was so informative. When you said that I'm a grown man, I realized that I wasn't behaving like it. I've let my addiction destroy my life.
Good advise to married people. A bit more difficult for those that believe sex is a sacred act between husband and wife and you are single. Running around thirsty for sex will get you a sad or sti and major emotional damage

@@DrWhom She is against semen retention. She believes masturb*tion and ejaculation is good, but without watching p0rn. But that is it better to have a s3x partner rather than masturb*te.
@@robertdevoy3119 not true, she posted a video stating masterbation was bad for your prostate, but sex was good..... I asked how your prostate knows the difference. She didn't answer, surprise!
I call "BS" to 95% of what Dr. Leigh says in this video. Sure, if you and your partner are on the same arousal pathway, then there should be no need for masturbation, porn, etc. BUT, if your partner is a "once a month'er," and/or has little or no sex drive, and you want sex 2 or 3 times a week, something has to give. And if you love your partner and don't want to end the relationship on this ground alone, the most healthy response for you AND YOUR PARNTER is to supplement your sexual impulses privately with masturbation. I would argue that NOT doing so is unhealthy, and will eventually lead you into temptation, which is where cheating occurs. And btw, there is no such thing as masturbation without some form of fantasy. Fantasy doesn't have to include porn per se, but an image in your imagination and one in front of a computer screen is simply a matter of degree; i.e. a distinction without a difference.
Best comment I’ve read yet through hundreds in here, thanks bro, you nailed it by far, but I’m still not knocking this doctor because I believe her intent with this video is to try to help guy’s get away from the addiction of masturbation more than anything which is a good thing, and getting away from porn!! I don’t think that she is trying to tell us to outright stop masturbation completely because in the beginning of her video she did mention that masturbation was healthy which it is, and I want to add that I have also heard many urologist say that it’s good to ejaculate once in a while, I’m just guessing at least once a month or so because they claim it does help somewhat preventing prostate cancer, mostly for older men to worry about, with that said I don’t mind saying that I’m going on 70 and I’m in decent shape for my age, because I hit the gym a lot and I stay active and I’m single so yes I masturbate at least once a month or twice to hopefully not get prostate cancer, been married twice and divorced twice, I’m not looking for another woman I’m happy with my life.
@@cfavalorofavaloro6053 Thanks. I too will hit 70 this year, so I hear ya. I recently asked my Urologist about the studies regarding ejaculation and prostate cancer (I sometimes have high PSA counts), and his reply was that he believes frequent ejaculations are beneficial in that regard. Unfortunately, I no longer get frequent ejaculations in my marriage, as my wife lost her sex drive a few years ago after hitting menopause. She went from being very sexually active, to not having much sex drive at all. I may have been hard on the Dr., as you say, but still . . . there's not a sex therapist on the planet (unless religious based) who would not recommend the practice of masturbation in situations such as this.
This is really good, I’ve been struggling to find motivation to even face some of your videos recently as that can be tough after backsliding. This video has me motivated to move forward again, and it definitely was just the one I’ve been waiting for! Thank you
I'm 60 and have been masterbating and fucking every chance I get for over 45 years . It hasn't wrecked my life, it hasn't caused me any health issues, my sex drive is stronger now than I've ever known ot to be. How soon can I expect the whole dead dick issue to set in?
I love that all the top comments answer the question without the need for a video. Just do it guys, you know it’s right, it’s just hard. Don’t let anyone tell you that it’s okay to engage temptation without inhibition.
I have so many mixed feelings. On one hand, everything she says here is totally true. On the other, it's really hard when you've never had a relationship, rarely ever even see women in your age range, and have no idea how to change any of that. It's difficult when there's no goal. Also, I once went a full year "without" and it seemed to have some negative effects on my general sexual functionality.
I actually arrived at semen retention/NoFap quite accidentally after breaking up with my partner of many years. I just did not feel like dating, and my T-Levels were probably declining to the point that I could actually get control over my sex drive. Not to bore you with the journey, but someone was was really looking out for me. I was becoming an accidental Yogi and I am thrilled that I was gently guided in this direction. I really don't think about sex much these days, and my energy and vitality has increased markedly as I do not waste it on ejaculation or pursuing sex. I am strong, fit, and love my meditation and quiet space. Like the Elton John song - 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight.' Btw, I still notice pretty women. I have not gone blind! I notice them as I would a beautiful flower. I just am just not inspired to pursue sex with them. I admire and walk on.
You are in control of your life, good for you, when i see a good looking woman its not that i want to have sex with her i tell myself boy i would like to get to know her!
@@ELFUICHEI still get attracted or sexually attracted to someone easily but that doesn't mean im going to pursue out of desperation. Id rather see her as a person
Probably best nofap video ever - I would say that it has all I needed to know. Downloading. Playing every day for at least 90 days now. Thank you Trish!
Dr. Trish...very interesting....wondering if you've covered the issue of ejaculation and prostate cancer risk? I've heard from more than one source that over 20 ejaculations per month are required to ward off the big 'PC'...I'm in my sixties and would like to know the latest thinking on this...kind regards...
"repair your relationship"^^ how possible is this? once it is broken it will never be the same again and once the female holds the power in a relationship it will be unhappy and unfullfilling for both of them, she will only use him for some benefits.
oh ffs lady...sex is one of the best pain relievers/stress relievers on the planet. and if you're alone/no partner you're just supposed to "gut it"...lovely. would love to see the blood pressure readings and prostate markers on so many you've coached.
Exactly it’s complete bs, there are no benefits to suppressing your needs. Better yet doing masturbation just for the ‘sensation’ and not being aroused will leave us just as sexually frustrated as never ejaculating, total bs. And not everybody can just magically get a partner. Also not everybody can feel fulfilled ejaculating 1-2x per week snd it’s not automatically a ‘brinky’ if you do it every day, some people have bigger sex drives than others, some only want 1x a month or week and some build up tension fast enough for it to be ideal fir them to do it every day, nothing wrong with that. Some have a month refractory period, others have a 5-10 minute refractory period. Her thinking is way too cut and dry and bias from dealing with all the small percentage of people who have addiction. Another thing I’ll add is that not every genre of porn involves unhealthy sex or sex at all or anything harmful in any way example: solo water-sports video, you could very easily have someone do that for you in real life and it’s no different than if you saw it in real life. Genre matters, some could negatively influence a very sexually ignorant person such as a young boy, but some of it can’t at all. I’ll keep accepting, enjoying and exploring my sexuality like a normal person i will not deny it like a weirdo just because I’m single. I was born with a dick, hormones and needs as a result and I am entitled to the pleasures that come with it. “Comfortable being uncomfortable” more like being miserable and sexually frustrated for no reason. I also do desire real life physical intimacy/sex. Very few people are satisfied by masturbation alone porn or not.
Well it is lady giving instructions, there is noway she would understand scarcity of potential mates for normal males, after all women under 30 always have options and even after 30 game is still easier than for normal male.
3:11 It's not questionable, it's outright wrong. It's perfectly possible to have healthy masturbation along with having a partner for sex. The girls I dated whom I had sex with were well aware that I maturbate when I am alone, and I also knew they did as well, and it was ok for both of us
I'm 73 when i changed my diet to a strict vegan 37 years ago i took control of my life, quit smoking, drinking and my disier for sex also left, i wanted my girlfriend to do the same she refused so i left, she was the last woman i had sex with!
I have done it for a few months and I have found that it has negative health consequences for me. First of all, I acknowledge that it is good for mental purity in that you don't get lost in lust (which differs from beauty) so you remember who you really are. But after a while my testicles literally went back into my body and I could tell overall the lack of attention wasnt doing my organ any good.
Men produce so much sperm for the sole purpose of reproducing as much as possible. Obviously that’s not something most humans do anymore as we are more civilized (and everything is so expensive lol), but your body is still constantly producing all those fluids and it’s absolutely healthy for you to release. I take of my husbands needs, he has a condition called hyperspermia and it makes his body produce a comically large amount of semen which can make him a bit uncomfortable when he doesn’t release it. Being his wife, I do love him and taking care of it is important. There is also some evidence to subject that releasing often can help with prostate health, so that’s something to certainly think about.
but there's no love happens if we're all sat in lotus position practising semen retention? I'm 51 and get lonely.... been lonley for years and years and years......we are meant to love a woman...(not fiction not media not pron) but to love.... this is where I get contradiction, frustration depression because of the lovelessness and unhealthy sexuality (by not doing anything, not loved not loving, no connection or intimacy)
The minute she said "Everyone can find a partner"...I had to call bullshit... unless she is advocating the use of a prostitute. Sometimes, the choices are just not there.
I did not know that 'semen retention' was a thing, not too concerned about it though. Full disclosure: I have been retaining semen for many months now, the only difference I notice is that now I am frustrated because I feel left out by the 'sex revolution' I am a never married 62 y/o male with no partners with none on the horizon.
I can understand that semen retention can help with energy levels, focus and confidence. But one thing I cannot understand is what is the difference to loose semen with a partner or masturbation? this is the same. Both ways you are energetically depleted after ejacutation
Totally disagree with the idea that masturbation within a relationship, either secretively or not, is in any way wrong, its up to the individuals. So long as you and your partner have a healthy sexual relationship it's irrelevant. It's very much the case that people in relationships have different levels of sex drive. So if my wife or your husband doesn't 'fancy it' they should just stay frustrated? No no no.
I have extreme self-confidence that’s borders on edge of narcissism. I barely masturbated in college. I got zero dates because for some reason, girls there thought I was 10 years older. I’ve been told it because of how I dress, act, and the dad bod, glasses, and balding doesn’t help. Today, I have a chronic health problem that limits my ability to drive. I’m 30, work from home, and live with my parents. I enjoy flirting with women for fun but I understand they are not interested in me as a partner. A well-rounded 8-10 does not want to date a handicapped man who looks older than his age and lives with his parents. I don’t blame them. It doesn’t affect my self-confidence but I may as well enjoy some amateur porn. I prefer that to sex with an unattractive women, which unfortunately, has been the only type of partner I can attract.
i got off to prn on the daily for almost 20 years. i never considered myself addicted to it. i felt like it's not too unhealthy. i felt like i don't tend to go ever more extreme with the stimulation. i was very picky with the content. sometimes it would take me 2 hours to even find something that really hits the spot. maybe that's all excuses. nevertheless, i quit the prn, about a half year ago and i don't feel much different. i definintely got "queiter" in that regard. i don't feel stimulated so much in general. but i still get hrny. i have not yet managed to get past the 6th day of no fap because i start to get random errctions and i can't sleep at night. i have manged to get myself a pretty stable sleep cycle so if i then can't sleep it thoroughly fcks me up. i've not yet heard about what exacly semen retention does in the no fap community. and i felt like there has to be some middle ground. i don't engage in phantasies too much anymore. every now and then i do but it's mostly purely physical stimulation and it doesn't take much of that at all. but anyway the fact that i can't sleep after a few days made me think this can't be the way. am i doing something wrong? but this video cleared things up a bit. thank you
The best choices I've ever made: Cold water shower every morning. Daily meditation routine, at least 30 min book reading, no porn and semen retention, intermitting fasting and intense weight training. The old me is slowly dying. Something new is getting born. I love life. It's great to be man.
Good job
What is the benefit of cold showers for you?
@@joey--j I'm calmer, sleep better, more happier and energized when I start my day. The immune system is like the shield of Captain America. No booster for me. Never. But most of all it's a spiritual and character building thing. To start every morning with ice cold shower gives you a certain will power and discipline. That's the best benefit if you ask me.

Dont confuse semen retention with Fat loss, weight lost isnt even a good thing if is not the right kind of weight loss
Basically since you are eating only protein, you are leaving out most of the Sweet stuff, when you taste sweet, you tell your brain that Sugar is coming, and that produces a Insulin High and Insulin stimulates the build of Fat
Even Diet sweeteners can produce this but at much less effect vs sugar because sugar have fructose and fructose processing on our body basically makes it straight into fat and is also toxic as alcohol would be
Now if you are also losing muscle, that is a bad thing but the protein intake and regular exercise should solve that
Now the Semen retention as the doctor said, its a bad thing because you need to release the old semen so you are able to replenish with new ones, and the body will even force you with wet dreams to release
But if you are also doing NoFap that will make your dopamine levels more neutral and will give you more will to keep a healthy and balanced life

First of all, semen retention means different things to different people. To many of us, it simply implies "self-control" in one's sexuality. It is abstinence, avoidance of exposure to unnecessary cues and a renewal of our minds with laudable contents for a higher purpose. Sex is good no question about it but it is only good when done with the right person and at the right time. Just because the person is willing to have sex doesn't mean that it is the right person nor the right thing to do. Life is more complex than we are willing to admit. A partner can fall ill or die, or simply become less attractive sexually. One spouse can be deployed in war to some remote countries for months on end. Higher values such as self control should be the compass of our lives. It is essential for us men to be able to claim back the control over our sexuality. By the way, going towards 6 months of semen retention

You are the only Dr on YT i've come across that makes sence and gets to the point. I am in my 30's and this was me my whole life. One will never understand less they fapped almost every single day for like 20+ years to know the dangerous effects it has on ones mental health and Dopamine. Thanks for the inspiring video.
Her and Huberman are my go to now
come across ?
YT? Smdh
I had sooo many questions when i clicked on this. Dr Trish answered them all. Well done!
ua-cam.com/video/hpknuWDfB_U/v-deo.html. I urge everyone to watch Dr Marty Klein for a very different view on this and masterbation. He has a very common sense approach to sexuality and is tops in his field. He has many videos on youtube. This woman views are on the extreme.
Dr. Trish answered them all, yeah I bet she did..lol..🤣
I'll tell you the real struggle, is for people like myself, who don't have any desire of pursuing a woman to establish a relationship. Our society spends so much time discussing the issues that men have, but so little time discussing how our society has effected women from a relationship standpoint. I work in settings with lots of successful women, and they all agree, they have commitment issues and they can't see the benefit of being faithful in our modern time, because there's always someone better or more exciting that comes along. With the thought process of so many of the women I deal with being that, it seems like the dumbest thing a man can do is invest so much of his time and resources into someone who could so easily just get bored and decide they want to try something new.
Spot on!
it’s a gentleman job to try to fck a woman, i was thinking the same way too but i think you can still find good girls if you really want to.
Red pill knowledge💊
"Sin for a season" is what I'd call it. Sooner or later these women will realize that they can't play the field on the same basis as their younger counterparts.
Amen Brother. Porn never cost me over $200K, gave me venereal warts, an e.coli infection, took a child from me or cheated. I don’t have much experience about the damage of porn on the brain but I have a real world understanding of the damage modern women cause to a man who was always faithful and shared his resources.
All my fantasies were in “real” relationships. I don’t have to fantasize about porn. It is what it is. It’s women acting like women, only doing more of what men like and being paid real money instead of pretending they like doing those things, not being paid for it and resenting men more each day.
Fortunately, I made more money, got rid of the diseases, got used to the child being gone and got over any idea of women adding much value to a healthy, honest, hardworking man.
I don’t dislike women. They just have no sense of the definitions men place on fidelity, respect and discipline. I’m happy woman have men’s jobs and men’s pay. That’s more money for them to feed the cats when they hit 35 and no men are interested anymore.
And by the way, when am I going to hear from a woman “influencer” how the dopamine hit of a drawer full of vibrators and dildos damages a woman’s psyche? Are men the weaker sex now?
I am currently 14 months into a SR streak, beforehand I had a 10 month streak from oct. 2021 to august 2022 after which I intentionally tried some form of irregular "pressure valve". First time I came across no fap was in 2019 when I found Paul Joseph Watsons video on "the coomer". I am very thankful to him for making that video even when I'm not much of a politics kind of person especially in a biased way as you got on social media. The coomer is so accurately representative of what pron does to a man that it frightened me. It did unfortunately take me over a year until I actually stopped entirely in the sense that I didn't have any more "little peaks".
I find that the only alternative to SR may be pressure valve where you release when the urge becomes too annoyingly strong (but this is not necessary as seen by these crazy streaks some of the men here have going on), the big rule here is that you release to no stimulus at all. Obviously no pron, that is a given, but also no sound and no imagination. You stare at a wall or focus on a colour and simply get it done. This way you train yourself to not see masturbation as an alternative to sex which is so important. It is NOT a replacement for sex and it cannot be, its why "cooming" makes you feel frustrated, hopeless and lonely.
I sincerely find it disturbing that pron is even allowed, for once the people in charge could do something useful by banning utter brain rot like pron or short form content but not even that happens while there is, as you put it, stacks of evidence that this stuff has 0 positives but countless, endless, horrific negatives. But then again think of how much money they make with it. Money rules after all. It makes people go stupid. I also want to hint at the crazy amount of criminals that have TBs of pron on their devices. A lot of people go down the bad route because of this stuff.
However it seems harder than ever for men to find a partner, there are statistics claiming that while 60%+ of 18-30 year old men are single only 35% of women that age are. I've always been an above average looking guy and I have had lots of trouble finding partners and this is also where I want to debunk the myths that SR will make you a female magnet. Maybe indirectly there are some things that make you more desirable but most of the stuff people will tell you are completely exaggerated or entirely made up. The discipline and self control you gain and therefore the confidence and manly qualities are where it's at.
Another thing I want to talk about is that it's so hard for men to keep up their streaks because of soft pron. The world and especially the internet are infested by it. Soft pron is your usual "fitness influencer" page but you get this all over UA-cam and other platforms as well. It is on you to not click and to ignore the constant "invitations" when it comes to this, to me soft pron is not much different from pron itself.
It is a CURSE that we men are given. Constant readiness to go idiotic horny mode. It's like an ugly monster that you contain, but contain it you MUST.
Took a while to read your comment but it was well worth it. And I agree totally with your statements. Cheers
She’s never been a man, never had semen, never personally known what it feels like to retain for 6 months or a year. At best, she’s talking from anecdotal experiences of other men, at worst its all pure conjecture and speculation. Would be as stupid as me making a video on “Exactly what it feels like to start breastfeeding”
Stupidest comment I've ever seen. Do you really think a DOCTOR has to have experienced the negative things present in your life to be able to speak intelligently about your condition? Are you really saying you would only take advice to lower your sugar intake from a physician that is a diabetic? Or advice about effects of tobacco use from a physician that lost a lung to cancer?
Try to think through your arguments before making a fool of yourself. 🤦🏻♂️
Nail point! The best comment of the century
But what she said isn’t inaccurate so what’s the difference ? You clicked on the video and watched it
@@stuff4232I clicked on the video because I always thought semen retention was dubious bro science and wanted to hear a professional opinion, but all she talked about was men being addicted to porn. My last partner was the one addicted to porn, not me, and it made it hard to connect with her, so I didn't get anything out of it.
good point
“If you don’t have a partner, get one.“ Wow, Dr. Trish. Thanks. Definitely the easiest doctor’s advice I’ve heard in a long time.
It's total BS
Believe me, if you are on semen retention the partner will come very easy you will attract girls easy, but don't it just for girls attraction
You have experience from which to draw?
Hahahahaha easier said than done
@@davidborgerding8429 it's not tho, obviously women aren't going to wait in line for you especially if you're average looking. but you'll have less tolerance for bullshit. this means you will easily be able to distinct high quality from low quality women and you won't waste time and energy pursuing the ones who don't add value to your life
basically it raises your standards in women. but you still have to approach them if you're interested in them
I'm coming up to 150 days of semen retention. I have already said goodbye to social anxiety, depression, procrastination, poor diet, bad sleeping patterns. I feel I'm 3 times the man I used to be.....I'm happier, more socially engaging, and am excelling at work and my main interest BJJ. I'm listening to a lot more audiobooks, have taken up breathwork sessions, have a way healthier mind, will continue on this journey. Fapping rots the mind of a man, you should never waste a single drop of your seed, it's your life energy and it surges through you after 90 days of retention.....believe me, hard work pays off.
What about sex drive? I would commit if my sex drive increases

Semen retention doesn't work, the reason it "works" is because people learn to be disciplined which motivates you to eat healthier, exercise etc. It doesnt work so just go nut. It was proven false. It's dumb how society tries to stop masturbation, we've been jerking it for eons. Just only fap at night time.@@markn9619
@@markn9619gym, exercises, pool, running, cold shower - this helps a lot
Basically the number 1 motivation for me to quit long term is the desire for a clean conscience and self- respect. When I abstain my self esteem goes up I feel proud of myself, and I pray about it and feel the guilt go away over time. Nothing better than a clean conscience and reclaiming your Dignity as a man
Wow, how many things could be said here?
1. Easiest way to not orgasm again? Get married.
2. I retain my semen. I was told to save it for when I got married. I just started on my second gallon jug.
3. Within a few days of nofap I was sleeping better and a clearer head. Within a few weeks I was focused enough that I got a promotion at work and I set new records while working out. After a few months I was elected mayor and then governor. After 6 months I defeated Thanos on my own and didn't need any of the other Avengers. After a year I was able to be the most powerful being in the universe and then became the universe.

Not even going to listen to this, not that I’m opposed to it, but because of the simple fact that it is a woman talking about semen retention… I know the benefits from application of information and experience, not just accumulation of information.
It would be helpful if she talked about finding a partner in more detail. For guys in their 30's or 40's, it's not exactly easy. Online dating is terrible and there aren't many places to meet people that don't involve alcohol.
My problem exactly.

As I listened to you and examined my younger days involving unhealthy sexual behavior, I could see the consequences that led to self destruction. I am grateful for you reaching out and hopefully helping those who suffer from unhealthy behavior that never fulfills.
After watching I've finally convinced myself to stop touching myself, quitting porn, and I'm praying to let go of resentment and replace it with gratefulness for all I have in the love of God. Bless you for your words.

I was just thinking the happiest most guys are is when your a little kid when sex wasn't even thought about and retention was natural not saying there's anything wrong with sex but just something to think about
I agree with the both of you.
Yep, like when I was younger watching Three's Company with my brother back in the 80's, and any sexual innuendos just went over our heads, or organizing our baseball cards, or playing with our Hot Wheels on our Pac-Man bedspreads. It was also fun play fighting with my Masters of the Universe characters or reading the TV Guide to see what was coming on.
A man has to keep the pipes clear. Worst thing he can do is take it to the edge and stop and leave it there. Clogging up and infection can happen. Ask any urologist. Clear the pipes routinely, however you have to do it.
This should be taught at schools and to parents. This could prevent so many people from completely destroying their lives.
They wouldn't give us the tools to something they are trying to actively destroy. They want week men bc it's what runs the system we are currently in. The forces that be want us down. I was learning abought Greek society they taught that desire and love were different and that a man that acted on desires was a lesser man.

are you implying healthy masturbation of around once a day or once every few days is 'destroying lives'? hm.
@@nbamaniac Only in her mind.It's obvious to me she is repulsed by male masturbation which is a subject she can read up on but not experience.

I know there's always more to explore but still, this video includes most of the stuff. So basically I wanna say is that if you're a beginner, you can definitely trust each and everything she said and move on your journey.

I've been on it nearly a year and it's fantastic. Productivity and energy is through the roof, confidence and ambition is forever strong and I only give respect to the women who deserve it - as well as no longer seeing them as distracting objects meant to be 'won'

@@ifeelfantastic8956 oh so true.😎
Whether ejaculation is deliberately suppressed or not is a question about medical science. But whether one does it by oneself or not if one has a partner is a moral question which has nothing to do with physical health.
The "500 lb. gorilla" being overlooked in this lecture about "healthy" sexuality is having a partner as interested, as eager and willing as you are.
If the partner isn't interested anymore, and says so plainly, the alternatives are pretty limited to either staying in a sexless relationship, getting out of one, cheating, abstaining altogether, or "re-wiring" your brain.
So, what alternative choices did I miss?
how on earth is your partner not romantically interested in you unless you aren't doing what's required to make them want to desire you?
@@HotelCharliHill Doing what is required? Really? Beyond being respectful and committed, faithful, honest and very tactile, I'm not sure what else to do.
What I am sure of is that every issue affecting a relationship can't all be one partner's responsibility/ fault.
That's true. so what are you doing that is serving as some sort of a detractor? Do you do anything that shows her you're listening to her desires? I noticed a lot of good things there, but nothing understanding her and helping her romantically? How is your hygiene (that's covered under "respectful" but not every guy understands how critical that is).@@TheCoupe06 And true, she probably has some issues herself she needs to work on. Do you ever pray to ask God to help you show her His love so she will grow and love Him more? The more she loves Him the more she will love you as her husband.
Sometimes the 'gorilla' is obese, and won't do anything about it..... after 40+ years of marriage. Then add on a 'could care less about the next time we have sex' attitude, and I turned to porn. Still trying to find the right path forward. Thanks for the video though. Makes you really think.
I've been fapping for 33 years and I haven't had semen retention longer than 14 days. I have a partner that I've been with for 20 years and I definitely have a "secret fap" problem and shame about it. Learning from these videos is really eye opening for me so thank you.

@@Abhimanyu_3k tbh I would like to hope that my small but recent success’s mean something. In the past 10plus years I don’t believe I have been able to go a month. Earlier this year I believe I almost went 2 weeks and today might make 2 weeks for me. Idc about the NNN trend but surprisingly I just happened to stop about a week before and I’ve been better than usual. It’s crazy because I still have the bad habit of searching it. But I haven’t done anything and I’m not mad about it. They say it takes 21 days to break a habit this it’s a bit deeper than something that goes away in 3 weeks but I’ve always had that in my head so that way I can just have that small first goal. But yeah I genuinely would like to attempt to never jerk off again. Not even for the whole idea of self improvement but just because it’s a genuine waste of time. Let alone energy that can be used towards other things.
You have whatever you jack off to laying with you every night, stop thrusting your hand
In my experience and in observing others' variations on semen retention, I have concluded that there is no one right way that fits everyone. I was not able to retain (and I don't mean edging, but simple abstinence) without extreme testicular pain after about 3 weeks. So I tried the "healthy" scheduled m session (not p, just m), and it was a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it de-stressed me and allowed me to walk comfortably! But it had a built-in curse because it only heightened the desire to use p again or just became intrusive to my thoughts as I obsessively looked forward to the next session. After giving in and starting over umpteen times (and luckily being in a healthy relationship for years now and no longer needing p or m), I can honestly say: p (more than m) is an insatiable thing that has always taken more from me than it promised, and even just m is too slippery of a slope to consider it more than just a temporary lesser evil en route to a healthy sexual relationship. I think a "healthy" scheduled m session should only be seen as a temporary half way house, not something to accept long term. Thanks for another great video!
The way I look at m is the same way I look at fast food. Once and a while it’s ok
@@liggmabawls5634 everything's good with moderation, what's bad is going on the extreme like not using your junk occasionally can increase your chances of getting erectile dysfunction later as you age.
@@l-b01josefandres44 true. How often should one use their junk. I think once a week or every two weeks is good
completely agree with you Joe
Increasing testosterone makes men want to fight and have sex with lots of women so abstaining i could see may naturally cause frustration and increased desire that sounds normal.
Semen retention, self improvement, and trying to be a better person in general changed my outlook about myself. And the world. It's never too late. Don't give up. You can do this.
High ejaculation frequency reduces risk of prostate cancer.
Holy hell, this explained so much about my life since I was in high school. The binky analogy made so much sense to me. I’ve been at semen retention/ no porn for a month and I no longer feel like a horn dog wanting to hump everything in sight. I am a little sad that I exhibited a lot of the negative behaviors associated with porn consumption and excessive masturbation during my last relationship, but I have a much clearer goal for my next partner.
Right on!

10 Top Ten Benefits of Semen Retention
"Retain Your Vitality"
1. Unbound Energy.
SR brings about new levels of energy. Your body will not spend time replenishing your vitality.
2. Increased Strength. With this new energy you will naturally start exercising and lifting weights. You may even feel a natural pump even when u haven't worked out. Your body will seek out new opportunities to grow.
3. Testosterone Boost
Increased seed count means an increase in natural testosterone. Low testosterone and low sperm count go hand in hand. You'll always have a banana to peel and when combined with retention exercises you'll get past these limitations.
4. Brainfog Lifted.
You will notice a sharpness to your thoughts. You will have less distractions and feel more motivated.
5. Vices and Vampires Vanquished.
While retaining you will notice vices such as drinking, weed, drug of choice and porn naturally fall off with little to no effort. The desire will simply no longer be there. Anything that compromises your faculties disappears. Energy vampires are also recognized that were previously hidden. Energy vampires sucking ur time, $, resources and vitality will be exposed and u will cut them off.
6. Emotional Intelligence.
Your appreciation for all living things and how you are part of a bigger whole becomes realized.
7. Compulsive Control. Your ability to control compulsive behavior both physical and emotional. You will keep yourself in check.
8. Irrefutable Aura. Your skin, hair and glow will become apparent. You will shine brighter everyday you decide to retain.
9. Universal Attraction. Women, men and small animals will gather around you for no apparent reason. Women will be drawn to you and men will open doors for you.
10. Intimacy Awareness. You gain control over when intimacy takes place, you are not anxious or compulsive. You prefer to take your time, go slow and enjoy the buildup and it's not a priority during the interaction. Game changer fellas. When combined with Kegal exercises and meditation your ability to control your seed while being intimate will take both of you to new levels. She'll hit multiple 10's, before you get to 7 and develop the mastery of #11.
SR is a process and a lifestyle...
Very well put! Exactly my experience with SR as well. Do you have books or videos you can recommend regarding the kegel exercises?

I'm 73 and have not had sex with a woman since i changed my diet to strict vegan when i did i quit smoking, drinking and had no desire for sex that was 37 years ago, i have no addictions, i love sports and open wheel dirt car racing but nothing controls me but me!
anything that controls you is not healthy PERIOD!
the idea of growing up, getting an education, getting a good job, saving up money to get married on, finding a wife candidate, getting married, now finally you can have sex and you are 42 years old! Your pastor is so damn happy!
What happens when SR starts effecting your bladder, which happened to me 2 months in. I was struggling with this from my prostate getting really full of fluid pressing into my bladder. After 72 days I had a huge release and things were fine again. Haven't retained longer than 72 days because of this issue :(
Nothing is going to happen.. it's called blue balls, don't let it take you back to masturbation.
gotta train the body, not going for ahuge streak right away build it up over time
The great thing about stopping masturbation is getting to say, "I have conquered myself." It's a great psychological "I Win" feeling.
Never edge when you're on semen retention. If tempted, just release and reset. It's better to release and start over. When you keep edging, you're messing up the process of retaining which will have negative feedback in your brain. You need the purity of semen retention without compromising your journey and that's how you build up the benefits.
I've edged only a few times and I am on day 6 right now of semen retention, there's no rule that says you can't edge, that's some NoFap crap telling us to cut off everything cold turkey till you just end up frustrated and give in again. At least I am retaining semen and keeping my vitality and nutrients im not wasting my life essence. Some of us got a lot of testosterone, urges and high sex drives and just stopping everything at once and taking a cold shower never worked for me.
@@joelxl635 Edging is very bad for your brain. You're just giving yourself an excuse for you to continue with your lust while using semen retention as a way for you to feel relieve that you're on it to gain benefits. To sum it up, you're fooling yourself and not completely serious with self-improvement.
@@joelxl635 I don't think you get the point. As I mentioned, edging is very bad for your brain because you are practically sending overload of dopamine to your brain receptor while not receiving any reward for it. I understand you are on the path of semen retention, but that's a very bad mix when you edge because you aren't fullfilling what's needed to tackle the journey wholeheartly. Nofap and Semen Rentention are not the same. Saying you are on semen retention while refusing to abstain yourself isn't semen retention at all. Edging eventually will lead you to release it no matter how much you try to delay the process of holding it. It's best to release the semen rather than constantly edge. It's more safe and rewarding. Edging while on semen retention also have adverse effect which can put you into flatline such as having low energy and anxiety.
@@soulvibes08 Well I don't want to keep ejaculating and feeling tired but if I edge I actually control myself better. I just stop everything especially since I never had a relationship nor sex before it's not easy, I'd rather have little benefits from SR and edging than stop everything and just end up sexually frustrated. I would prefer to have never done this to be honest but it's the only way out for me or I'll live depressed with low energy.
@@joelxl635 well, that's your personal choice, but i'm just letting you know that releasing it rather than edging is much safer mentally. Practicing semen retention also helps you gain confidence . If you can be able to retain for 2 weeks without touching yourself i think it will help you to find what's you're missing. It requires great discipline and sacrifice to accomplish. Make yourself busy. Find a hobby that can entertain you while retaining. The only reason you can't control your sexual urge is because you got used to it for a long time and you don't want to let go of that pleasure feeling.
I am practicing semen retention since couple of years and I don't have any bad effects. My current streak is day 776. I improved a lot physically and mentally both. Even Steve Jobs, Mike Tyson, Da Vinci, Swami Vivekananda practiced it.
To the haters of semen retention I wanna say it that don't practice it if you don't want but don't spread hatred here about it when you have not experienced it!
uh. no thanks.
im in 188 now man, should i break it? because its not natural? says on the vid
Okay, I'm confused. I understand that Porn and Masturbation isn't healthy, but is she saying semen retention isn't good either even if you quit masturbation and porn? I'm seeing a lot of comments here about how semen retention changed their life, which is what I'm curious about, but it seems like she's talking more about the dangers of masturbation, porn, and edging more so than semen retention itself. She doesn't talk at all about how semen retention can help in other ways, she makes it sound like most men have a woman in their lives currently. I'm interested in practicing semen retention to attract the right partner.
I'm just wary of the prostate ramifications of NoFap / semen retention. I keep hearing that if you've been an excessive ejaculator for years or decades, and you suddenly go NoFap - and do it for too long - your chances of getting prostate cancer increase dramatically. Thoughts?
Have there been any scientific studies on this? They study everything these days you know
Look up the Nocebo effect, it explains a lot of those illnesses people get in different contexts. Just suppressing natural desires is not a good thing IMO, it just creates stress and friction, in other words negative mental energy, and negative mental energy can cause physical illness. Which body parts that are affected by the negative energy generally depends on the context. In this context your mind is focused on the sexual organs which means that the negative mental energy the suppression of sexual desire can create may affect them negatively. So yes, prostate cancer may definitely make sense here. Some good general info about the placebo/nocebo effects here: ua-cam.com/video/LWQfe__fNbs/v-deo.html
If you want to dig really deep into the mind/body connection and the psychological causes of illness etc., I can recommend "The Nature of Personal Reality" by Jane Roberts, as well as other of her books.
The Indian guru Mirra Alfassa (AKA The Mother) taught a kind of yoga where you had to transcend sexual desire and other "lower" desires in order to become enlightened. But she explicitly said that this was not for everyone, only for those who were ready for it - practicing celibacy if you're not ready for it will just make you a worse rather than a better person. We had a Hari Krishna guy in a spiritual newsgroup who practiced celibacy just by suppressing his desires which he admitted was hard (he used to be a sex addict). The psychological effect of this was obvious to everyone, he was extremely arrogant and aggressive and called everyone which weren't up to his standards, like people eating meat, for idiots and things like that. I've heard that yogis who practice celibacy can be extremely aggressive and angry also. George Ohsawa says in Zen Macrobiotics: "All those who are vexed and angry, inside or out, are Puritans: they shrink from sexuality, are impotent, and can never enter the kingdom of heaven." There are a lot of different opinions and perspectives to consider in this matter, and a lot of different techniques and methods to choose from. As always, people are different and what works for one may not work for another.
Sadhguru here on youtube talks a lot about these things, try a search on "sadhguru celibacy".
ya the same "scientists" that say vaccines are safe?
This woman is not a medical doctor. She is a "neuroscientist" that has a phd, and she is a "life coach" LOL.. Look at her bio. Big freaking difference, as in another 10 years of school. She never went to any medical school, never did a medical internship, or the 4 years you have to do AFTER that as well to be a real doctor. Ask a real MD, not a pretend youtube one.
@@kellykraft832ahhh you don’t always have to have a doctor tell you what’s good for you or not. Infact something’s are bad for you and good for others.
I'm no expert, but this really seems to be spot- on. Very thorough and objective perspective of a topic that is more complicated than one might think. Excellent job!
Thank you. It really is very complex. I’m trying to shed some light 💡 !
@@DrTrishLeigh is Coffee without caffeine bad for NOFAB reboot?
You are a very confused person
Most people don’t have a healthy partner. Especially young men.
semen retention no fap, breathwork, cold showers, fasting, meditation mindfulness, exercising and eating healthy (including healthy snacks).
I give up on relationships, and I don't want to emotionally open up to another lady ever again. Masturbation is all I've got left
No way man... life is too short for you to spend it with your hand and a screen. Dare to live my friend. You are stronger than you know.
semen retention is bad for you do not believe this fake doctor
I agreement without what Dr. Says I but from my experience I can say that in semen retention You can have orgasms without ejaculation Andrzej feel satisfied , she is a women and maybe dont understand this, don't call her fake , she seems very genuine person, she is very helpful.
At least you won’t have to worry about knocking a woman up and all the headaches that come with that.
Sorry doc but the real world exists. Endless encouragement doesn’t always mean that it always works out.
Imma die one day anyway, no amount of semen retention will prevent that. I'm not a "weaker individual" for masturbating. Others aren't "stronger individuals" because they don't. How people feel is oftentimes figurative. I laugh when I see comments like, "I see the way people look at me now that I don't touch myself" I'm like "WHAT with their EYES!?!" Like c'mon man. Stopped touching yourself now you're born again? Crazy.
I've just relapsed, after 5 years. I felt and still feel quite demolished, low, also my brain/mind doesn't help me the way it did before. Anytime I sinned worse happenings in my life or slower progress followed me, things in general changed for the worse; also in the way people unknown to me, unrelated, on the street as I was walking, looked at me differently in a worse not very pleasant happy manner, like I was guilty of something or a not so good person or something. Many times I've noticed.
Best thing to do in no-fap but not the only one is to confess this sin to your father confessor, if you happen to be Orthodox or Catholic. Without spiritual measure I very much doubt real progress in psychological/neuro realm.
“Don’t retain for too long” smh… be careful listening to women about topics they’ve not experienced. Retain for as long as you need brothers!
You deserve huge recognition for this video (no pun intended) thank you so much. I instantly deleted all my porn bookmarks 6 minutes into the video.
Glad to know this. Thank you & keep up the good work!
Thank you, Trish. That was so informative. When you said that I'm a grown man, I realized that I wasn't behaving like it. I've let my addiction destroy my life.
Good advise to married people. A bit more difficult for those that believe sex is a sacred act between husband and wife and you are single. Running around thirsty for sex will get you a sad or sti and major emotional damage
Most athletes especially boxers practice Semen retention. This is just somehow challenging during pandemic. Gremlins tempt you. And I couldn’t find partner yet due to financial problem . Sigh!
Stay strong everyone! 💪💪

@@DrWhom She is against semen retention. She believes masturb*tion and ejaculation is good, but without watching p0rn. But that is it better to have a s3x partner rather than masturb*te.
@@robertdevoy3119 not true, she posted a video stating masterbation was bad for your prostate, but sex was good.....
I asked how your prostate knows the difference. She didn't answer, surprise!
Thanks for the clarification on the downside of semen retention
I call "BS" to 95% of what Dr. Leigh says in this video. Sure, if you and your partner are on the same arousal pathway, then there should be no need for masturbation, porn, etc. BUT, if your partner is a "once a month'er," and/or has little or no sex drive, and you want sex 2 or 3 times a week, something has to give. And if you love your partner and don't want to end the relationship on this ground alone, the most healthy response for you AND YOUR PARNTER is to supplement your sexual impulses privately with masturbation. I would argue that NOT doing so is unhealthy, and will eventually lead you into temptation, which is where cheating occurs. And btw, there is no such thing as masturbation without some form of fantasy. Fantasy doesn't have to include porn per se, but an image in your imagination and one in front of a computer screen is simply a matter of degree; i.e. a distinction without a difference.
Best comment I’ve read yet through hundreds in here, thanks bro, you nailed it by far, but I’m still not knocking this doctor because I believe her intent with this video is to try to help guy’s get away from the addiction of masturbation more than anything which is a good thing, and getting away from porn!! I don’t think that she is trying to tell us to outright stop masturbation completely because in the beginning of her video she did mention that masturbation was healthy which it is, and I want to add that I have also heard many urologist say that it’s good to ejaculate once in a while, I’m just guessing at least once a month or so because they claim it does help somewhat preventing prostate cancer, mostly for older men to worry about, with that said I don’t mind saying that I’m going on 70 and I’m in decent shape for my age, because I hit the gym a lot and I stay active and I’m single so yes I masturbate at least once a month or twice to hopefully not get prostate cancer, been married twice and divorced twice, I’m not looking for another woman I’m happy with my life.
@@cfavalorofavaloro6053 Thanks. I too will hit 70 this year, so I hear ya. I recently asked my Urologist about the studies regarding ejaculation and prostate cancer (I sometimes have high PSA counts), and his reply was that he believes frequent ejaculations are beneficial in that regard. Unfortunately, I no longer get frequent ejaculations in my marriage, as my wife lost her sex drive a few years ago after hitting menopause. She went from being very sexually active, to not having much sex drive at all. I may have been hard on the Dr., as you say, but still . . . there's not a sex therapist on the planet (unless religious based) who would not recommend the practice of masturbation in situations such as this.
@@nietztsuki very true
This is really good, I’ve been struggling to find motivation to even face some of your videos recently as that can be tough after backsliding. This video has me motivated to move forward again, and it definitely was just the one I’ve been waiting for! Thank you
Stop looking for damn motivation.. its called discipline. Dman
I'm 60 and have been masterbating and fucking every chance I get for over 45 years . It hasn't wrecked my life, it hasn't caused me any health issues, my sex drive is stronger now than I've ever known ot to be. How soon can I expect the whole dead dick issue to set in?
Thank you so much for your time explaining. I learned a lot.
I love that all the top comments answer the question without the need for a video. Just do it guys, you know it’s right, it’s just hard. Don’t let anyone tell you that it’s okay to engage temptation without inhibition.
I have so many mixed feelings. On one hand, everything she says here is totally true. On the other, it's really hard when you've never had a relationship, rarely ever even see women in your age range, and have no idea how to change any of that. It's difficult when there's no goal.
Also, I once went a full year "without" and it seemed to have some negative effects on my general sexual functionality.
I actually arrived at semen retention/NoFap quite accidentally after breaking up with my partner of many years. I just did not feel like dating, and my T-Levels were probably declining to the point that I could actually get control over my sex drive. Not to bore you with the journey, but someone was was really looking out for me. I was becoming an accidental Yogi and I am thrilled that I was gently guided in this direction. I really don't think about sex much these days, and my energy and vitality has increased markedly as I do not waste it on ejaculation or pursuing sex. I am strong, fit, and love my meditation and quiet space. Like the Elton John song - 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight.'
Btw, I still notice pretty women. I have not gone blind! I notice them as I would a beautiful flower. I just am just not inspired to pursue sex with them. I admire and walk on.
You are in control of your life, good for you, when i see a good looking woman its not that i want to have sex with her i tell myself boy i would like to get to know her!
Funny because I too acknowledge beauty but I have no sexual desire towards them.
@@ELFUICHEI still get attracted or sexually attracted to someone easily but that doesn't mean im going to pursue out of desperation. Id rather see her as a person
@@wiisalute I feel the same. I can feel the attraction, but it doesn’t mean I will pursue anything beyond that.
@@ELFUICHE I see porn as pointless now. Im more focused on schoolwork and other things to keep me occupied (though temptation still comes)
Protect this lady at all cost , she is saving lives.
Probably best nofap video ever - I would say that it has all I needed to know.
Downloading. Playing every day for at least 90 days now. Thank you Trish!
Semen retention for last 120 days. My life is better now. I dont want to go back to daily masturbation routine.
Dr. Trish...very interesting....wondering if you've covered the issue of ejaculation and prostate cancer risk? I've heard from more than one source that over 20 ejaculations per month are required to ward off the big 'PC'...I'm in my sixties and would like to know the latest thinking on this...kind regards...
I hope you don't mind me pasting this on top of the comments again.
I was also curious about this, and also the need and build up of testosterone in older age, usually connected with ejaculation
Geez you’ve got a really great way of explaining and encouraging this stuff. Really glad you’re doing this and that I found you. Thanks!
"repair your relationship"^^ how possible is this? once it is broken it will never be the same again and once the female holds the power in a relationship it will be unhappy and unfullfilling for both of them, she will only use him for some benefits.
The lack of Self-Control in the World today is disturbing......!!!
THAT"S it anything that controls you is not healthy the evil forces have taken control of the politiicans and this country we are going down!
oh ffs lady...sex is one of the best pain relievers/stress relievers on the planet. and if you're alone/no partner you're just supposed to "gut it"...lovely. would love to see the blood pressure readings and prostate markers on so many you've coached.
Exactly it’s complete bs, there are no benefits to suppressing your needs. Better yet doing masturbation just for the ‘sensation’ and not being aroused will leave us just as sexually frustrated as never ejaculating, total bs. And not everybody can just magically get a partner. Also not everybody can feel fulfilled ejaculating 1-2x per week snd it’s not automatically a ‘brinky’ if you do it every day, some people have bigger sex drives than others, some only want 1x a month or week and some build up tension fast enough for it to be ideal fir them to do it every day, nothing wrong with that. Some have a month refractory period, others have a 5-10 minute refractory period.
Her thinking is way too cut and dry and bias from dealing with all the small percentage of people who have addiction.
Another thing I’ll add is that not every genre of porn involves unhealthy sex or sex at all or anything harmful in any way example: solo water-sports video, you could very easily have someone do that for you in real life and it’s no different than if you saw it in real life. Genre matters, some could negatively influence a very sexually ignorant person such as a young boy, but some of it can’t at all.
I’ll keep accepting, enjoying and exploring my sexuality like a normal person i will not deny it like a weirdo just because I’m single. I was born with a dick, hormones and needs as a result and I am entitled to the pleasures that come with it. “Comfortable being uncomfortable” more like being miserable and sexually frustrated for no reason. I also do desire real life physical intimacy/sex. Very few people are satisfied by masturbation alone porn or not.
Well it is lady giving instructions, there is noway she would understand scarcity of potential mates for normal males, after all women under 30 always have options and even after 30 game is still easier than for normal male.
@@extended_e if they still look good, they don’t have any more a problem at 50 than 25
3:11 It's not questionable, it's outright wrong. It's perfectly possible to have healthy masturbation along with having a partner for sex. The girls I dated whom I had sex with were well aware that I maturbate when I am alone, and I also knew they did as well, and it was ok for both of us
I am 70 years old now and semen retention has helped me with a more healthy man in both physical balance and mental clarity! ❤❤❤❤
So not getting married and staying away from women would be the best option
These days, yes.
Yes if the women refuse to use birth control and condoms and just wanna do oral and anal sex these days.
I'm 73 when i changed my diet to a strict vegan 37 years ago i took control of my life, quit smoking, drinking and my disier for sex also left, i wanted my girlfriend to do the same she refused so i left, she was the last woman i had sex with!
Well put video packed with good information. And now I’m off to fly my drone.
Thank you
I have done it for a few months and I have found that it has negative health consequences for me. First of all, I acknowledge that it is good for mental purity in that you don't get lost in lust (which differs from beauty) so you remember who you really are. But after a while my testicles literally went back into my body and I could tell overall the lack of attention wasnt doing my organ any good.
For me personally, I release once every 2 weeks, that was the sweet spot for me, just need to be disciplined to not get carried away
@@dennissheckleburg9775 Oh for me its the more often the better, tells me my testosterone is still doing its jerb
Men produce so much sperm for the sole purpose of reproducing as much as possible. Obviously that’s not something most humans do anymore as we are more civilized (and everything is so expensive lol), but your body is still constantly producing all those fluids and it’s absolutely healthy for you to release. I take of my husbands needs, he has a condition called hyperspermia and it makes his body produce a comically large amount of semen which can make him a bit uncomfortable when he doesn’t release it. Being his wife, I do love him and taking care of it is important.
There is also some evidence to subject that releasing often can help with prostate health, so that’s something to certainly think about.
She is right. Scientifically and morally
but there's no love happens if we're all sat in lotus position practising semen retention? I'm 51 and get lonely.... been lonley for years and years and years......we are meant to love a woman...(not fiction not media not pron) but to love.... this is where I get contradiction, frustration depression because of the lovelessness and unhealthy sexuality (by not doing anything, not loved not loving, no connection or intimacy)
I did semen retention for 87 days. It was the best I ever felt! Haven’t been able to get back to that streak.
It's in your head what a bunch of BS. Enjoy your self. She has zero sex drive and goes to church every day.

What about those of us who just cant find a partner. This video makes it sound so easy to find one but many os us struggle with being alone.
here I am. I have always been single, and I am 52 years old
The minute she said "Everyone can find a partner"...I had to call bullshit... unless she is advocating the use of a prostitute.
Sometimes, the choices are just not there.
I did not know that 'semen retention' was a thing, not too concerned about it though.
Full disclosure: I have been retaining semen for many months now, the only difference I notice is that now
I am frustrated because I feel left out by the 'sex revolution' I am a never married 62 y/o male with no partners with none on the horizon.
Do what you want to do, hell with all these nonsense stigmas.
I can understand that semen retention can help with energy levels, focus and confidence. But one thing I cannot understand is what is the difference to loose semen with a partner or masturbation? this is the same. Both ways you are energetically depleted after ejacutation
🤷♂️
She seems to think 2 times a week is enough. Perhaps, if the couple is getting up there in age.
Started Nofap journey in 2016...it wasn't easy because the failures were many and I did not give up
Well I ain't giving up my fapping anytime soon..lol..🤣
Totally disagree with the idea that masturbation within a relationship, either secretively or not, is in any way wrong, its up to the individuals. So long as you and your partner have a healthy sexual relationship it's irrelevant. It's very much the case that people in relationships have different levels of sex drive. So if my wife or your husband doesn't 'fancy it' they should just stay frustrated? No no no.
I have extreme self-confidence that’s borders on edge of narcissism. I barely masturbated in college. I got zero dates because for some reason, girls there thought I was 10 years older. I’ve been told it because of how I dress, act, and the dad bod, glasses, and balding doesn’t help. Today, I have a chronic health problem that limits my ability to drive. I’m 30, work from home, and live with my parents. I enjoy flirting with women for fun but I understand they are not interested in me as a partner. A well-rounded 8-10 does not want to date a handicapped man who looks older than his age and lives with his parents. I don’t blame them. It doesn’t affect my self-confidence but I may as well enjoy some amateur porn. I prefer that to sex with an unattractive women, which unfortunately, has been the only type of partner I can attract.
Just try it first (no fap) what have you got to loose if it's not for you?
go on a vegan diet and exercise it will give you more confidence i'm 73 been a strict vegan 38 years will NEVER go back to my old eating habits!
i got off to prn on the daily for almost 20 years. i never considered myself addicted to it. i felt like it's not too unhealthy. i felt like i don't tend to go ever more extreme with the stimulation. i was very picky with the content. sometimes it would take me 2 hours to even find something that really hits the spot. maybe that's all excuses. nevertheless, i quit the prn, about a half year ago and i don't feel much different. i definintely got "queiter" in that regard. i don't feel stimulated so much in general. but i still get hrny. i have not yet managed to get past the 6th day of no fap because i start to get random errctions and i can't sleep at night. i have manged to get myself a pretty stable sleep cycle so if i then can't sleep it thoroughly fcks me up.
i've not yet heard about what exacly semen retention does in the no fap community. and i felt like there has to be some middle ground. i don't engage in phantasies too much anymore. every now and then i do but it's mostly purely physical stimulation and it doesn't take much of that at all. but anyway the fact that i can't sleep after a few days made me think this can't be the way. am i doing something wrong? but this video cleared things up a bit. thank you
8 months semen retention, and my testosterone has boosted to all time highs.
Good
