      U realize all us humans only have a set number of years on this earth. And u have a set number of orgasms u can experience. I feel u r giving up something God gave u as a gift. Cause if he didn’t want us to do it and only use it for procreation, then he could have just made it not feel good and problem solved. He made it feel good for a reason, for us to enjoy the people we love etc. and u realize the urges themselves can be seen as just as guilty as doing the act, if u use certain Bible passages. Thinking of a woman/man sexually or thinking she has a sexy butt or whatever, is committing adultery already in your heart. So u r already guilty of it only u don’t get to actually enjoy it or your lover etc. and u can be wasting your prime years where orgasms feel amazing. I know slightly older men who suddenly have super weak orgasms now. And it depresses them cause they feel they aren’t getting the full effect and pleasure and closeness to their lover. And wish they had it back. And they can’t get it back. U have a set number of times u will experience this gift God have us, and u r choosing to throw it away and almost act kinda self righteous, and that people who do enjoy sex r seen as kinda bad people and doing evil. As long as u aren’t using sex for evil. Like forced upon someone, or
      a minor etc… then I don’t see why we should throw away this gift God gave us. We all fall short. Orgasms make me so mentally healthy. They feel so darn good that I literally have my sadness or depression melt away as it’s happening and after it’s over. So orgasms and sex have been a massive blessing for me and others and are amazing for the mental health. Bit yes do it in a healthy way. Corn can be an issue yes, but u can block yourself from these websites, put a blocker on your own internet access. And stick to real life women then. But if u feel no sex or masturbation is the way for u and makes u happy, more power to ya, u show em and do that no fap, u do u.

    My doctor still says : the pipes and the pump have to stay clear, they are there for a reason and it is : ejaculate. Get rid of unused semen. Your body is a machine and if you let some parts clog, you and your prostate are going to get into trouble. There's a correlation, yes ! Inform yourself ! This vid is about addictions, not about retention and/or nofap. Clearing the pipes is fine and healthy when the need arises. Not when you feel the need to do it all the time. Or when you need porn for it. If earth is to be inherited, then by our genes, the true residents of this planet. They want to reproduce and your body is merely their vessel. You are not important. Reproduction of genes is. Thinking it is all about you, is simply another addicition. Get off your high stool.

      Men are not designed to avoid ejaculation...these videos are misinformation. Masterbation and seeking real sex with a human is a natural process and a physical need. Men are not women and woman are not men. Men do not become intune with women by neglecting their needs. Find healthy ways to fulfill needs with consenting age appropriate partners or if no partner ("masterbate") do not engage this misinformation. These are lies from a satanic government authority. Yes the government is paying for psy-misinformation the government wants chaos and violence this misinformation helps fuel that agenda.

    When you realize the nourishment your body and mind receive from retention it becomes difficult to let that power go. Ride it like a wave and know that as long as you continue to transmute that energy into the things you wish to accomplish you’ll go much further in life. When the urge comes, just sit with it and get used to being uncomfortable, for in that moment you are developing your character to withstand much harder milestones in your life.

Eventually you will get it on a cellular level and it becomes AUTOMATIC. One thing it speaks about clearly is spiritual growth in degrees.

      The bible is allegorical, metaphorical and highly cryptic, and many of the sacred texts are imbued with symbolic resonance and cloaked in profound mystery. Time 2 wake up - only those who demonstrate unwavering perseverance comprehending these hidden truths shall behold d revelation. It is within you.
      Jesus means Christos, the Anointed oil at the top of the head in Greek. That is why he is crucified at Golgotha aka the skull. There r reasons d the both side your eyes r called the temple - it houses the Kingdom of God.
      =============
      "And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull."
      - Matthew 27:32,33
      "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17:21
      "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." - 1 John 3:9
      "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
      Matthew 6:22-23
      "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." - Genesis 32:30
      ==========
      The seeds and sacred fluid needs to be lift up - avoiding toxic food, temptations, gluttony, hatred, anger & lusts - that's where regeneration happens.
      '
      It is matter of common knowledge amongst the learned that the singular "eye" to which d ancients so often made reverent reference, is in fact refering to d pineal gland, that most remarkable & mysterious physiological feature in d human cranium. This gland, as known as d "seat of the soul," holds plenty of significance in various philosophical & spiritual traditions.

    2800 days damn. Longest I’ve intentionally went was 7 days recently. The main issue is thinking and wanting women after a few days, I’m not in a position to entertain women and don’t want to think about them. It’s fuckin hard.

    • @EmilIllum
      @EmilIllum  3 місяці тому +22

      There are many ways to go about your current situation, but ultimately you'll find the right answer I am sure.
      Maybe ask yourself why you don't want to think about women. Maybe there is a reason you want women but at the same time, you don't want women. There is a conflict which needs to be reflected on, before you can progress, I think.
      I think it's natural to want womans affection, love and praise, but this can be a drug as well. Are you in a position in your life where you want to solve some internal issues and become a version you're proud of. Then I get that you need some time away from women since they can be very distracting in a beautiful way haha.
      Nothing is black or white, but I suggest you explore what's going on. I personally turn on a voice recorder (app) and just start talking. The answers will come.
      Best of luck brother!

    Pleasure is a facade. Those of us that still want it want it because psychologically we're blinded by our habitual emotional reactivity, only chasing after pleasure and running away from pain, not realizing that once left alone, the mental itch disappears. That is essentially what the source of craving for sensuality is like. An itch that keeps on propagating when scratched. Stop scratching the itch, and it will heal.

    Later this month, I will reach 2,000 days (5½ years) without any kind of release. I found this movement nine years ago, and my first experiments proved that I loved it. I would do long streaks, but I'd also go back to enjoy times of occasional porn-free masturbation, until I missed retention and had to resume it. Eventually I realized that I was only trying to have it both ways. What I wanted most was permanent semen retention, so I embraced it at the end of 2018. I've been grateful ever since, and I've never seriously considered going back to releasing, nor do I expect to. I absolutely love the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of being a self-contained man who doesn't release anymore.
