    Nothing is free, there is always an exchange. This may be a physical exchange or in this case a metaphysical exchange. It really feels like a deal with the devil. You get immediate pleasure, but at what cost? If you choose to make this deal what will you have to pay for it? You are paying with: Not finding a wife, friends, success, money, confidence, spiritual growth, happiness, etc. Next time you get an urge think about what it will cost you.
    "If you live a life of nature, you are marked out for death; if you mortify the ways of nature through the power of the Spirit, you will have life." (Romans 8:13).[​IMG]

    ^ LOL

    yeah, one thing I think about a lot is like -- where is this "pleasure response" coming from? Chemicals in your own body. Its not like porn GIVES you anything...theres no substance. Its literally moving chemicals around in your body that are already there - massive amounts of them that burnout your pathways...its like if you kept pooping and eating your own feces, and then doing it again. I think thats actually healthier than long term PMO...

    100% agree. Sperm retention or whatever you want to call it, is what our ancestors did since the beginning. They knew not to spill seed since you feel drained afterward. There's a ton of minerals, vitamins and other doodads in your jizz that give you energy to function as a human being. The only reason you would need to release it is so you can make a mini version of you. tl;dr don't relapse.

    Doodad definition: a decorative embellishment; trinket; bauble.

    Never let go of the doodads lads.

    Don't know semen retention is important or not, but the energy of the urges are real.
    These energy if used properly can make us more motivated in work.

    Retention is really important, I mean its just common sense. but I think of it also just in a physical exertion way - PMO always leaves my body feeling tired and depleted. Unlike exercise where I can lift a bunch of weights and actually have *more* energy after and feel refreshed.
