    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 just 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.

        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?

        Read one of the ask Reddit threads about “secrets of the porn industry”. Other than rampant abuse of the talent, addiction, etc, which the industry is rife with, there’s simple facts about the mechanics of it; people who have worked in porn say that there is nothing that smells worse than a porn movie set, and the industry would shut down if you smelled it, and how often there are “accidents” with anal scenes, etc.

        I watched an amateur gang bang video once just to see if I liked it better and it was even more depressing, the woman was just kneeling there looking dazed and like she was a million miles away.

          The porn industry is one of the most abusive ones around, that’s well known. It’s a bit comparable to the cattle industry, i’d say, people are literally treated like cattle, moved around with sticks and pokes, without dignity, it’s gross.

          stick to non-commercialized amateur porn. it’s 10000% better.

          Personally, these are the reasons I try to stick with just stuff people post of themselves because they like to. That generally means i only see pics and short videos, but that’s all fine to me.

          Some may be advertising their only fans, so there’s some minor guilt like only taking free samples, but still feels better than worrying about the industry in general.

        Not the person you asked, but the industry is horribly unethical. Pornhub hosted and made good money on CSAM.

        Another aspect is the way things which are pretty intense and should only be happening in negotiated, BDSM contexts are presented as normal parts of sex. Choking is extremely fucking dangerous and really shouldn’t be done by anyone who doesn’t explicitly know what they are doing, but it’s treated as almost part of vanilla sex. Painful anal sex is treated as desirable.

        I’ve had a lot of casual sex with men, and many many times these men have done things like spanked or choked me without consent, and I feel like in part that happens because it’s part of the sex script they learned from watching porn.

        Also, so much of it seems to be from Eastern European countries where the women might be getting trafficked. You might recall that Andrew Tate’s grift, which he has passed on to others, was essentially forcing women to cam for him while he kept the money.

        Like, I think porn can be done ethically. Conceivably, we could have a world where exhibitionists who are having fun are the only ones making porn - maybe if we had UBI and no one had to do it to survive. But that’s not the world we live in.
