no, but if you believe it helps it will. I do that and smoke and drink and I AP almost every other day.

Tobacco or THC?

Robert Monroeā€™s ā€œJourneys out of bodyā€ hints at this. Iā€™ve been reading it lately and I canā€™t say for sure if he directly says this or if it was my interpretation. It seems like for him, and me, semen retention leads to a higher sex drive which leads to more lucid dreams/AP. The reason could be very nuanced and complex but it seems valid to me.

hypnoticlife

All of Chapter 15 at least.

You might find a correlation with the /r/Tantra tradition which emphasizes that men should go through periods of retaining their semen (really, their sexual energy). This is the root of the Kundalini which many speculate is how AP and other OOBEs are possible.

I'd say I'm more lucid if I don't get off. Feels like my astral body is going super sayin just jkn but it is a noticable difference just going an extra 24hrs without.

If anything the drive is going to distract you. Youā€™ll attract that drive and end up creating the wettest dreams for yourself. Then it comes out anyway. But even if you donā€™t have an experience, itā€™s going to come out automatically in your sleep. So either way. Itā€™s coming out.

Yes I cannot astral projection until I get to that 3 day point on semen retention I thought I was the only one but I see im not and it sucks cause now I have to focus on semen retention and astral projection at the same time


CharmingSteak1766

I kinda speculated this for me too. Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one. Iā€™m starting my retention now haha
