ITT: Do you brahs realize how sex and porn is destroying your life?

I've reflected a lot the past few years to see where I made mistakes and how to improve in the future and every time I analyze periods in my life where I was miserable, depressed and broke it's always because I got into a serious or prolonged casual relationship or I started recreationally using cannabis. When I've stopped using cannabis, I seem to gravitate towards sexual pleasure as a substitute for the escape that cannabis would give me. It's crazy in hindsight to observe my behavior. I would literally skip work to have sex all day, I would stay up until 5am, I would stop working to go fuk some chick the moment she texted me. The more I observe my behavior the more I'm sure I'm a sex junkie. I behave like a junkie to get my fix. There are some studies that compare the porn addicted brain to a heroin junkie's and they're similar. It get's out of hand too. You start to objectify women more, disregarding their emotions, etc.

The flip side is that when I'm not masturbating or having sex (semen retention) I start to feel normal again. When I'm busting all day, I have social anxiety and act meek. When I retain, I talk and communicate with people easily and am confident. People look at me differently too. Even as early as 4 days on retention I notice women will preen and make themselves known to me. On 2 weeks plus, women will begin approaching and talking to me, touching my hands when talking, and generally just seem more interested. I also have more energy and motivation. The first time I did semen retention I was 23 and had only read one book out of high school. I retained for over a month and read 6 books in that time. I was also only getting 4 hours sleep but was able to work 14 hours of labour and go to the gym for 2 hours and still have energy. Past day 30, You feel more happy and spiritual.

You won't realize just how addicted to sex mainstream media has made you until you try this for 30+ days. The first week or two is difficult but after that it get's easy.

If I were to give any single person one piece of advice, it would be to abstain from sexual actions for 30-90 days. When you can control your sexual impulses, you can control everything else in your life with ez.

I'm sure some will say, "that doesn't work", "blah, blah, blah." You don't know until you try. and if you tried and it didn't work for you, maybe you have a testosterone disorder or something.

There's a reason multiple religious texts say to abstain from sex. Don't ignore ancient wisdom.

Edit: Some of you might have a healthy relationship with sex but for those of you that don't, take the above into consideration.

Cliffs: Nutting turns you into a soyboy with no energy or motivation, Retaining makes you an alpha with purpose

I read an article that said lions in the wild only mate every 2 years. I wonder why they're so alpha..... Inb4 correlation =/= causation. Something to think about anyway.

Yeah, to say the least. I have 0 motivation to do anything if I'm busting often but when I retain for even 4 days, I notice I'll start cooking and cleaning more. I'll wake up early, my body will actually feel less fatigued.

Anyway, longest steak was 112 days while fking regularly.
I tried to edge and stuff on around day 30 and I just ended up nutting but yeah, the sex is way better. I think it only works for me if I go NC with women.

I didn't want to sound ego overstating the benifits in the OP but you're exactly right, Semen retention is god mode. You feel like you can manifest anything you want and it almost seems like the universe starts feeding you information. I know that might sound weird.

Didn't read but there's nothing wrong with sex

Porn is for cucks/incels


Imagine jacking off while watching another man have sex. In real life those people are called cucks. The only difference is they were able to get a woman somehow, unlike worthless incels who are e-cuckolds

Big problem is on day literally 3 of this crap I start blowing through my phone and in some cases even lower my standards.

But I guess I believe in this crap as taboo as it is. I don’t know why keeping loads in your body just makes you glow to females all differently.

i don't believe the bullchit that porn is bad for you. it's all placebo and incel propaganda.
You're coping unless you try it for 30 days. You won't regret it. sex may be the only thing that brings you pleasure but it's also the thing holding you back from experiencing pleasure in your day to day life.

I disagree. I masturbate infrequently but have lots of sex and my life is in ruin. If you are nutting excessively, your life will gravitate towards ruin. Different story if you can retain while having sex.

Apparently Your body uses a lot of vitamins and minerals to produce semen and when you're constantly nutting, your body prioritizes this process, thus depriving your body of these nutrients that would otherwise go to other processes. There are some articles that say the sperm take 74 days to fully mature, at which point, if not used will be reabsorbed by the body which may be why people say they feel amazing around the 80-90 day mark.

Yeah, The first month is the worst but then I feel like your brain starts rewiring itself to derive pleasure in other things.

Suit yourself. For every day I abstain, I feel progressively better.When I was 23 I didn't even know what no fap or semen retention was, I just retained out of circumstance so there's no way placebo was a factor, sorry to burst your bubble.This is an unbias account of what happens when sexual habits are vacant from your life for a prolonged period of time. I don't lose anything if you don't believe my claims but you lose a world of benefits. I'm not saying don't have sex forever, I'm saying try to gain control over your sexual impulses. It will pay off.

I lose no benefits, because there aren't any outside of placebo. Have fun with your celibacy goals of 2022.

This. It does give you some more drive to smash, but you will literally fuk a 1/10 if its offered.

There's a reason its called 'post-nut clarity', the clarity comes after you release the demons.

Show me a single study or shred of evidence other than your comparison between when you weren't getting laid 8 years ago to not getting laid today.

I'm actually probably getting laid more than you are today but okay. If you're interested you can do the research for yourself. My claims are based on the observations of my own life and like I said, you're body uses vital nutrients to keep making all that semen you're wasting. These nutrients could be used to help other processes of your body if you have the will power to hold in your nut. additionally, there are studies that say the sperm take 74 days to full develop and if not used are reabsorbed by the body. That's about all I'll say. Believe it or don't, like I said, I lose nothing.

Religious texts from around the world attribute sexual abstinence to better wellbeing. It would be ignorant to presume you know more than thousands of years of wisdom spanning across multiples religions, spiritual practices, monk behavior, etc.
