    I did this for 6 months 7 years ago when I was 19.. can say the first few weeks are hard but it gets much easier. The benefits are huge, you really will become a whole new person and girls will be more attracted to you because of the vibe you put off. This is how I met my girlfriend at the time who is now my wife, which is also the reason my 6 month streak came to an end

I didn’t care about it and then nothing to me I was just way too late and I probably had testosterone levels in the toilet as well

    I’m on day 139 today it gets easier the more you do it as long as you keep working out and keep yourself busy. The biggest thing for me is that my anxiety went away and brain fog, I become more confident, and became tunnel vision focused on whatever goals I wanted to achieve. He’s telling the truth guys about the testosterone and discipline part it will change your life, for me I noticed the glow in my skin after about a month, my voice got wayyyyy deeper, laser eye contact, I have never been able to lift my weight at the gym I hit that goal this week… Salute to you Jesse on your semen retention journey only 1% man practice this

      Was strange first time experiencing this. However it's not uncommon for men who "build up the power" let's say.

    The source for your increased aggression in week 2 : changing habits makes you more anxious (=more stress), and stress kills T. Also the vincinity of your dopamine source (Claudia) made it harder to resist (=fighting yourself), hence more frustration. Once the habits changed and the dopamine need was lowered, your T survived a lot better.

    I am cuming (mispronouncing intened) from a severe porn addiction and I've been in semen retention for over 60 days now. Every time I get the urges, ending up in IG, clicking on links, starting some 'research' - you guys know what I mean - I will just go down to the ground and do some pushups. The deeper I got into it without noticing, the more I 'punish' myself with even more pushups. Alternatively I do some meditation, when I just feel like it or my muscles are sore.
    Sexual urge is one of the greatest energy a man has! Do not waste it by firing it away into nothing in a few minutes!
    In these 60 days, I got much more attention by girls, talked to a lot of more girls and felt overall more confident around people. The feeling to have myself under control in this manner spreads over to every other aspect of my life.
    It's worth the way brothers, stay strong!!!

I really respect that he went all out with this challenge and it’s an inspiration to see that he’s this open with this and he’s trying to spread the message that you don’t need to do it to survive.

    after scrolling through all of the comments I was rather surprised to see how many men struggle to control their sexual urges. I practice semen retention regularly as well as cold showers and they have changed my life. this inspired me to share a comment to help anyone who may stumble across this. so when practicing semen retention, i want you to change your perspective on it. rule #1.) do not, i repeat DO NOT, strive for perfection. treat it like going to the gym for your will power. you don't get bigger muscles from one session at the gym. it takes consistency over a long period of time. same thing is the case for developing control over your urges. it takes consistency over a long period of time to have full control over your urges. when you fail, don't beat yourself up. you did nothing wrong. think of the failure as doing a workout in the gym until failure. your muscles can only go for so long before failing. same thing with your "will power muscle". work it out until failure over, and over again. this causes it to grow. it's a marathon not a sprint. your will power muscle will grow with time. just be consistent, and self aware. all the best.

    • @Joh-jf5kc
      @Joh-jf5kc Рік тому

      Personal experience on how I lastingly overcame my anxiety:
      It's a cycle of thought --> emotion (what you feel) --> thought --> emotion (what you feel) ....
      First you need to differentiate between these two. Because dealing with one is different from dealing with the other.
      Since it's a circle, you must break one of these, but you can deal with both. Dealing with the thought(s) is more important.
      The circle (your anxiety) does not disappear instantly. But it becomes weaker every time you manage to break one element of it.
      1. Regarding the emotions you might search for breathing techniques or methods to cause physical pain to lessen the feeling. And remember the emotion (= physical, what you actually feel when anxiety manifests itself) is not the same as the thought which triggered the emotion. You cannot fight the emotion itself or run away mentally without making things worse. But what you can do is to face the emotions which means to become aware of your bodily symptoms and accept them voluntarily. Your emotions cannot (!) force you to fight them mentally (= with your thoughts). That’s how the chain between emotion and thought can be cut by refusing to fight the emotion after having had the thought.
      2. Regarding the thoughts themselves:
      Your thoughts can become an inner circle if you start catastrophising. Catastrophising must be interrupted right at the start and must not be thought through till some presumed result is found which falsely promises inner peace. How do you do it? You must not try to not think about it because that does not work. Instead, you think about something else something that distracts you very easily (for instance, in my case that’s the latest football news).
      And now back to 1..
      And remember, the anxiety circle doesn’t disappear instantly, but it becomes weaker every time focus on 1. or 2..
      Your anxiety will steadily decrease by time, might take you days, weeks or months. But it works if you stick to it.
      You are in control. Your fear cannot force you to fight it.
      “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
      (1. John 4:18, highly recommend the entire 4th chapter)

I have been doing this for a goodfew months after I completed the first month.

I had moments of pure bliss. The streak ended when I lost my virginity but I guess that was why I did it in the first place. It works and I will do it again. Also, it makes is so that you no longer need sex. Women notices that and you get a lot more attention.

    As a doctor who excels at experimental design and statistical analysis I would have loved the opportunity to make sure he changed absolutely nothing else about his life. Don’t change your diet. Don’t change your workout routine. Definitely don’t work out more!! Just live life exactly as you did the prior 30 days, minus the sex and maturation. I would have also liked to have his testosterone levels measured weekly. Chances are his boost in testosterone would have correlated more with his increased work outs and increased muscle mass and not so much with his lack of ejaculating.

    As a Christian guy who practices or tries to practice that on a regular basis, it really changes your life and focus.
    Having said this, it is not a "dirty deed", but it is supposed to be the deepest expression of love and something wonderful for both people involved in the sexual act - but only as long as it does not become purely a thing of self pleasure but actually a self giving. Just as you said, it connects you on a deeper, spiritual level. That is also why ONS are so harmful, psychologically and spiritually for you.
    That is at least how the catholic church has been seeing it all along.

      It's true there are people who are in relationships that use sex in an unhealthy way to to regulate their emotional state, or self medicate. They never learned to have control over their sexuality, their emotional state, or their relationship with their partner, and think sex is going to fix everything. Using their partner as a means to an end. A drug. Coomers.
      They should practice semen retention as well to recognize their flaws and start improving. It's also known as coitus reservatus or karezza. Orgasms are not an essential part of sex

    There was a study I read on this, that might explain some of symptoms you experienced (MorePlatesMoreDates did a video on it). Around day 7 is when your testosterone peaks, and then it seems to drop quite significantly in the few days after that, which may explain the anger you were feeling by day 10 and 11.
    When our testosterone drops, it increases our anger (no idea why), which also explains why some body builders get "roid rage" after they come off a cycle (note: testosterone doesn't cause rage, but the drop in it does).

    YO Jesse!!! Thank you so much for doing this video!! There are so many men out there (including myself) have struggled with porn addictions, dopamine addictions ect. This is very inspiring, to not just make it a challenge, but to make it a life style change. I have been in counseling for a long time getting over these addictions. Like you stated in this video having those addictions makes you objectify woman way more than we should. Making this change in our lifestyle will change the way we look and feel about woman. With being religious, making this change will give you such a deeper intimacy with God and your spouse on another level. So thank you for doing this and showing everyone it is possible to make that change.

      Good start to go asexual and having prostate cancers. You have organs for a reason, muscles goes away without training too. To keep yourself healthy you need at least 21 ejaculations per month, heard from a professor.

    bro you are literally the only fitness youtuber i ever subscribed on and thats cause you are a wholesome dude , honest , kind and i love the way you conduct your way in your relationship , not afraid to fall in love and express it is by far the best role model you can provide for the audience. Your superpower is literally your lack of insecurity , big ups from the other side of the ocean

    Great start. If you can reach 6 months you will have a new level of self control and you will remove even more of the women's power. You will also have to deal with more of the thoughts in your head. Keep up the great content man.

    Definitely can relate to the relationship impact. Currently deployed and while its not a total semen retention, it is definitely way less, and not being able to see or be intimate with my wife is most definitely one of the hardest things ive ever done. Its such a deep connection you miss out on…

    Getting sick for 3 days and starting after that worked best for me, been going for 3 weeks, the 3 day head start from being sick and not doing it helps so try that and start from there, I feel way better mentally because I’m not a slave to do it every day or every other day
