    You can stop watching porn and jerking off and you will feel a lot more energy and other health benefits.

    It actually works. Called semen retention if you want to find out more about it.

      If semen retention was actually true then you could just get a vasectomy and you’d never lose your semen again no matter how many loads you blew.

      Imo the benefits are all psychological. That’s why some people report it changed their life while others say nothing happened.

        Im certainly not saying it changed my life. Some people are also saying that the eyes start to glow. :) There must be some reasonable thinking going on as well I think.

        But yeah, I noticed higher physical energy after a week or so. Its simply because the body loses energy when you jerk off, so if you dont do it, you have a lot more. I dont know, its not psychological to me, not that part. I can feel more energy, thats all.

        Started having daily 30 minute fast walks to balance it out a little bit but still feel like moving much more now.

          its not psychological

          I can feel more energy

          That’s psychological tho…

          Hey if it works for you, that’s great, but afaik there is no medical basis for that claim. There is evidence for exercise beeing good for mental health (I think it was at least twice a week at least 30min).

      There’s zero scientific evidence for that, to the contrary in fact, regular masturbation is important for long term prostate health.

      It’s called cancer. Jerk off regularly to remove dead bodies because there is no cemetery in your scrotum.

      You’re not wrong. People are downvoting because that’s the perspective of the audience here. They’re only here for a minute while they’re taking a break between porn sessions. They’re probably incapable of getting hard in the presence of a real woman. They’re probably overweight and out of shape and have low self-esteem and poor social skills. That’s what porn does to people.

        If it’s real it should be very easy to produce peer-reviewed results showing that conclusion.

        Unless such evidence is presented, believing “semen retention” is anything is about as founded as believing in crystals or astrology.

          Porn is kinda like alcohol. It’s poison & the worst drug & most people are addicted to it so it will never be illegal or frowned upon. Oh but wait, there are some jurisdictions where those things are indeed illegal and/or strongly limited/regulated. Because they are powerful & harmful things.

            That has nothing to do with the topic of whatever “semen retention” is. Also nice puritanical values you’ve got there, very 1640 of you 👉👉

        Bro why the mean attitude

        There’s a lot of reason to downvote besides that, and I didn’t even downvote myself.

        I downvoted it because it’s pseudo-scientific nonsense

        Signed, fit man who has hours of le sexy sex with 3d girls and also watches porn and ejaculates average once a day

        So what now? I suppose I’m an outlier? Or just lying perhaps? Oh wait I’ve got one! If I didn’t watch porn I’d have triple sexier sex, right?

        So, semen retention makes a person incapable of presenting a valid argument. But idgaf. You arrived at this conclusion after not speaking out for many menstrual cycles? Did a Real Woman cage your genitals?
