Retain the Seed
Many men on the Internet have been asking some questions for years now: why do I feel depleted? How can I quit my addiction to pornography? What are the “superpowers” that a man attains by retaining his seed?
While this is firstly an issue for men, many women begin to wonder: Why does my partner want to wait before having sex? Or why does he choose not to ejaculate during sex?
When men started discussing pornography addiction on Reddit forums, they started to find out that the sexual energy holds power, and that using it flippantly might be costing them a lot. Many of them found that they became more attractive to women after a few weeks of not letting go of that energy, and started to enjoy those benefits.
Soon after, other men looked deeper, looking into Chinese medicine and other traditions. They found that by going even further they would become more confident, stronger, have more empathy, and see life more clearly.
How might this be a pathway to spiritual attainment for the layman?

Welcome beautiful thinkers.
I’d like to talk about something a little unusual, not something I’d normally talk about. But its so fascinating and probably practical for a lot of people out there because its worth talking about. Talking about retaining the seed, semen retention.
Of course half of my audience is women so they won’t be as intimately interested in this as the men are but it might be interesting as well for women to understand a man’s physiology because I suspect there are going to be a lot of men dedicated to their spirituality.
They might even enter periods of abstinence or otherwise work on semen retention and women will ask questions like “why don’t you want to have sex with me? Don’t you like me? Or why don’t you ever ejaculate during sex, don’t I turn you on?
Its not necessarily about that there are other factors going on, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. For a lot of men that means retaining the energy and transmuting their energy.
This is quite a fascinating subject. There’s an example, a key example about higaelean dialectics here because of course what has happened in the last 20 years people have seen this huge flood of pornography on the internet like never before.
Easily accessible even to men at 14-15 coming into puberty he discovers these videos and doesn’t even need to waste his time using his imagination. That causes a lot of problems as you could imagine on the extreme end it tends to guide young men into thinking these perverse ideas about sex.
Or these unrealistic and perhaps even abusive ideas about sex so it is quite a problem. There are puritans out there who have talked about this for a long time but the solution seems that it didn’t actually come from the Puritans but the victims, the people addicted to pornography, masterbation and orgasm. So they started this no fap movement and started to research further.
These people started to find information about Chinese medicine, ancient practices about yoga transmuting energy through the body such as the Mula banda or the Ashwini mudra.
These different practices that can help transmute the energy. It is kind of interesting because you can still sense the development. If you go on the no fap Reddits you’ll see questions like “how do I control my urges” and that kind of thing. “I fell off the wagon again back to day one.”
You go into the subreddit semen retention and these guys look down a bit on the no fap guys. They say these guys just retain semen because they learned it makes them more attractive, they have greater self control and there’s a power in that.
Everything is permitted but not everything is beneficial.
So in the yoga traditions or ancient traditions people learn this important spiritual rule which is on the spiritual path we tend to many times we are offered many distractions from your path. And the true seeker will continue on the path despite distractions. These things that occur along the way.
Many things will be presented to us in order to lead us astray but in the Sidha yoga school they say the most valuable thing that none of these earthly delights can compare to is absolute bliss. Maybe it’s a bit hard to imagine what that would be like even for me.
I’ve been on this path in some form for awhile but that’s what they say. The greater seeker heads towards enlightenment, supreme bliss, divine bliss or yoga itself one might say.
People do talk about the benefits and not all of them are distractions that I was talking about. Some are blessings and quite pure ones.
On this post by this fellow he talks about gaining energy, running for 22km in 2 hours after a few months of retaining. Eye contact so he becomes more present in his interactions. Increase in empathy and compassion partly because he’s seeing people less as objects, more as people. Sees their soul and what they’re going through.
Attention and stares from people, this is kind of a distraction. Temporary. Syncronicies, more curious numbers and strange things happen. Doesn’t want to go too much into it because people are skeptical about that.
But these things happen.
Hair growth, I think there is some scientific explanation for this for when a man retains his semen, that does affect certain chemicals so there are increased vitamins and minerals in the system so the body heals itself. The hair is just a superficial thing because the body is diverting its resources to healing the liver, stomach and kidney which if they’re spilling on bed sheets cannot occur.
It gets more confidence in social interactions. Mental clarity, reading ease comprehension. Mental clarity and comprehension because he’s spending less time fantasizing, less time imagining things that might exist so he begins to be more in contact with reality. As a result he can perieve more clearly. I am immersed in life, I am starting to see things as they are and I can think things through, like hold an idea in his mind and observe from many facets. Its really fascinating.
And the ability to enjoy little things which is really sweet and relates to a lot of things we talk about in this podcast. Washing the dishes, watching the trees sway in the wind, sky gazing and listening to music, bringing so much pleasure which is sweet. I also noticed the level of respect people have for each other on the semen relation forum because people acknowledge the divinity and humanity of each other which is quite impressive.
I’m not here to tell anyone what to do or what not to do but those are some things for consideration. Thank you for listening, thank you for being conscious of the way that you use your energies and I’ll talk to you soon.
