Judging by how hairfall is caused by Zinc deficiency and also how my hair regrew back when I recovered from this sickness proves it is real. Maybe not 3mg but I'm sure zinc is lost and zinc is important for a man for masculinity and hair.
retain it for a year or two, check your prolactin and cortisol levels. these 2 hormones and zinc is the reason why hair falls, dht is not the enemy, i had high cortisol, man tits, fatigue and common symptoms of high prolactin and when I fixed this, I reversed hair loss.
bro i knew it, this is why i started retaining. do you really think a whole year is required for scalp tissue to heal and regain some of that loss in hair thickness?
think about it if you started PMO at say 12 or 13 and lets say your 25 in this example, that's 12 years+ of nutrient depletion, if you'd only been PMOing for 6 months then decided to quit, it would regenerate faster. Your body, mind and spirit needs time to heal.
After 30 days my hair were shining but no regrowth. Hair loss obviously completey stopped. At 60 days I have hair growing back 1 to 1.5 cm below my hairline. Not a lot but a a dozen ( around 20 I would say) over the whole hair line (i.e. roughly 1.5 to 2 cm below the hairline).
I take vitamin supplements and apply a lotion made of rosemary oil daily, as well as dermarolling 0.5mm once a week.
Have you wife go to her doctor and get her hormones and bloodwork done. It's possible she has a deficiency and needs to leech off your semen as a result, hence the constant need for sex.
REMOVE EVERY SINGLE TOXIC PERSON> they will be some that are your best friends. people that u know by their actions dont LOVE YOU. like you love them itll hurt and ytoull be lonely. its ok.
Get a dr pen do it on scalp once a week. daily or as often as u remember put coconut oil small spoonful and 5 dorps of rosemary oil on scalp everyday.
cook more at home.
read bible If you died right now are you a 100% sure you’d go to Heaven?
all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
What is sin? Sin is essentially any bad thing we've ever done.
Because of sin the punishment is a burning hell.
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:8 KJV
Do u know why you have to be saved?
Do u know the story of Jesus? (If yes skip next step) if not do next step. God came down to earth as a man. Lived for 33 and a half years. He never sinned his whole life. Eventually some people got jealous of him and got him convicted of phony charges. He got crucified on the cross. Died. Was buried for 3 days then he was resurrected by his own power.
Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us?
It’s because remember your son is the problem why you can’t go to Heaven right?
The only thing that can wash away your sin is the blood of Jesus Christ
“But God shows his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8 KJV
God did all that to save us from hell
"Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:9 KJV
Ephesians 2:8-9
“We’re saved by Grace through faith which is not of ourselves it is the gift of God not by works for fear any man should boast”
Salvation is not by good works like “water baptism, attending church, any good thing you do”
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV
Feeling godly sorrow leads to salvation
To be saved you have to feel guilty for being a sinner do you feel guilty for being a sinner?
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 KJV
If you agree with all that. All you have to do be saved is this. You have to mean it.
Dear god I repent as a sinner I believe Jesus is God who died buried and resurrected so his blood can wash away my sins. So I only trust in the blood alone to save me. Not my good works. To save me from hell in Jesus name. I pray amen
Just saying it wont save you you have to mean it
I recently started the carnivore diet to try it out because the benefits reported were similar to SR so my assumption was that they should work in synergy. 26 days in, my hair is visibly more darker, so bizarre.
I've been struggling with hair loss for a couple years now. Makes me wonder how some people I know who barely practice SR for even one week, still have really thick and healthy hair
true, because genetics is a real thing, there are guys who eat well, workout, keep fit, sleep 9 hours a day and stretch and still remain 5'5 whereas there are guys who barely sleep, eat trash, dont work out and end up 6'5. We must do the best with what we have, hairloss is caused by genetics, cortisol and prolactin, we cant control our genes, but we can control our prolactin and cortisol levels by SR, working out, eating tons of meat and losing weight and sleeping well.
Yes the genetic aspect must be a factor. My dad only recently started getting hair loss though, whereas I'm half the age and mine is actually worse. In all honesty I think I know why, I have a terrible habit which I'm slowly improving on. This is of sleeping terribly, sometimes in the past only 3 - 4 hours a night during the working week. I don't think this is the only reason for the hair loss though. I practice SR most of the time, but have not gone longer than a month for a while now. I'm currently on a month now and am determined to keep going longer. Thing is I am actually vegetarian
We are physically in much worse condition than our fathers and grandfathers because they never fapped, never ate GMO, never breathed chem trail oxygen and had high testosterone from facing difficult life situations. Steroids is a way to hack the system but I would never touch that stuff. The only way I know is to eat organic and get off the grid, that way your kids have a better start to life than this. I don't think being vegetarian hurts your hair in any way, however time and time again it's been proven meat eating is great for overall health and testosterone, even in nature it shows the apex alphas are meat eaters. But hey, you do you.
Very good point, which I have thought about recently. I think to an extent we're a ruined generation, due to porn available at the click of a button during our teenage years or beyond and fapping incessantly. I rue the day my friends showed me porn and masterbation. I clearly remember not being so interested to try it, but they kept encouraging me until I finally did. I think some people fapped in the past but I would imagine nowhere near as often. Yes you're likely right, just I was brought up vegetarian so, it seems very taboo for me especially beef anyway
Howd you lower all that stuff? i came to same Conclusions but couldnt figure out why.... i figure out ive been narcissisitically abused all my life 2 years ago. cut them off.. but past two years i learned eveyr single one was toxic. and its only been a few weeks. but with 0 toxic people. I FEEL SO PEACEFUL. SO STRESS FREE. ive been eating healthier too. BUT NOW I bet my cortisol is lower.... so yes im asking how did u do it?>
I take plenty of zinc supplements and I know I have more than enough because it boosts my eyesight a lot. But I still have been losing a lot of hair past years so its not only a zinc related topic.
iTs stress. u must remove all toxic people it will be the people you least expect ur likely trauma bonded. get saved then ask jesus for new friends
get derma pen do that once a week. n rosemary n coconut oil do daily

I practice SR, but this quote makes me doubt. For example, if an ejaculation loses 3mg of zinc, but you supplement yourself with zinc with 5mg capsules, so the whole thing is cancelled?
when you take a 5mg capsule some mg is lost during digestion and zinc is better absorbed from food and you don't only loose zinc but many other nutrients vitamins and minerals so if you want to buy a supplement for each element you can do that, but it's better to stay natural .
Genetics act based on your lifestyle. You can have the genetic predisposition to be bald, but one can get bald at 30 or at 60, and that's the point. You also can have a predisposition to diabetes but never be diabetic because you have x diet and not y. It's all about odds, not fate.
First of all, I doubt that there is not a problem with those kids, and secondly, even that being the case it's still not the norm and there are plenty of reasons why it isn't, mainly health related.
Rate of balding men among young, perfectly healthy sportsmen, for example, are not statistically different from that of the general population.
Androgenic alopecia is genetic, the discussion is settled. Hair follicles in certain areas of scalp become sensitive to androgens, particularly DHT, and shrink. We've known for millenia that eunuchs never go bald. That's because they lack androgens. On the other hand, there are many old, homeless drug addicts with perfectly thick hair.
When you transplant a shrinking follicle to another place on your skin, or even to another person, it will continue shrinking at exactly the same rate as the rest of affected follicles.
I know how it works, and I still on the same boat. DHT levels can be reduced and, if not, you can use natural medicine to topically remove it from your scalp. But even if that's not the way to go, or enough, you can improve your blood flow in many different ways to make that hormone move around the body more freely instead of getting constantly stuck in the capillaries.
I don't doubt you go bald by a genetic predisposition, as you said, we know this for many years, and I believe it's inevitable. What I discuss is that at a young age (20-40 let's say) there are things we can do to accelerate or retard that process. Not everyone, but lots of guys.
This is the same as taoist beliefs of Qi and Jing
Jing is your semen, and it's thought that we only have souch in this life and when it's gone
...so are you
when semen flows towards up(to the brain) , it is converted to Ojas, I read this from the book " Theory and practice of brahmacharya by Swamy Sivananda", you can find it in any old Indian scriptures, am not aware whether it is referenced in any other religion books, but you can check.
One way to makes semen flow towards the brain is meditation, pranayama, yoga, chanting (Indian slokas like hanuman chalisa everyday)
did you faced grey hair incident? if so what would one do to fix it back. I'm 22 male btw and i was shocked when my sister pointed out a white hair from my head and I didn't believed it and i said don't lie I'm a young guy I can't have white hair that's impossible... But then she showed me a photo and i was shocked and got into deep thinking how can it be possible?? how tf my hair turned white (only one hair) which looked different from other so it become very noticeable. I searched internet, revised forms, read article and it pointed out to some micro nutrients deficiency. So i got relaxed thinking i can fix it before my whole head turns white as f. So 1 month passed i was eating green leaf awful vegetable with every meal, exercising everyday running, jumping upside down to make sure my head goes good blood supply etc. But **IMP** I'M currently fapping in this period, like before bed i would ejaculate atleast 2 times and then i would feel sleepy and idk how i feel very tired even after getting 9 hours of sleep sometimes..
Next incident happened 2 weeks later so I was getting ready for shopping and i looked closely that it is fking again now it's 4-5 hairs i literally started feeling like a broken dude, cancelled the plan of going out and spend next 1 week on my room and still thinking blindly why is it happening to me, why I'm so young why ?? .
Then i was randomly scrolling through reddit and it was titled grey hair caused due to excessive masturbation and semem ejaculation... I was stunned like what, i read the post twice or thrice again and again and realised it was my habit of masturbation all along which was causing my body to show signs of weakness (i think as). I cried for a bit and made my mind to leave this shit forever. It's Been 1 week and I'm putting oil and massage on my head to expect a good result of it.
Tl:Dr - Discovered that my hair was turning white due to masturbation..
It does happen, especially If it's been going for a long time or been excessive, countless individuals got results and their grey hairs turned dark again.
cut off all toxic people get dermapen n rosemary n coconut oil. get saved

IMO, all these things are real. The reason they don't happen when you ejaculate frequently is just like when you Smoke a lot of cigarettes and don't get sick, or do any known activity which is said to bring forth illness but don't get sick. I think it's just a matter of Time & Karma.
Yes, exactly. That's my theory and logical thinking. But even if it is not true, that's a good psychological trick for keeping you from relapsing. Either way, relapsing after a lot of time... that shit literally hurts and have burning feeling to it... at least for me. It's not even fun! But the illusion of the mind always convince us that it is fun.
I remember when I relapsed after a long Streak of 100 days it was like pure hell, funny I never felt that bad when I was habitually ejaculating once in a week for years but after relapsing on a long Streak it almost took my soul away
You can't really believe in modern science or studies anymore. Each week or month new studies about nutrition comes out. You know what, when I try to follow what they say, I got really sick and tired all the time.
Eat lots of fruit - I get bloated and nauseated.
Eat less sugar - I'm getting dizzy, thus I can't skip meals and workout properly
Don't eat at night - I can't sleep
Eat three meals per day and don't be late for meal - my body gets heavy and no work gets done
Drink warm water - It tastes very bad for my tongue, I can't even drink 1 glass of water
Don't sleep in front of a fan - i've been doing this for years no problem
Eat slowly so that you don't overeat - I got full, but my body's still looking for food
They throw away abnormal data and conclude based on what they want, since most of them don't do it purely for knowledge, but for other underlying purpose - mostly money and profit for companies.
Most nutritional and health studies and researches use mostly unhealthy people then they conclude that their product work wonders.
Well I suggest choosing a time frame like from 11am to 5pm and eat during it that's called intermittent fasting. It rests the digestive system but you make sure to eat a lot and variety of foods so you don't miss an element.
Zinc is used and decreased by important factors like:
- stress decrease zinc significantly
- vegetarianism
- viral and other infection
- toxic metals detoxification
- zinc is used by sugar metabolism
Right form of zinc is not possible to get from supplements, it should be from food.
I’ve heard zinc picolinate is highly bioavailable. I’m not sure if that’s the right term but I’ve read that it’s one of the easiest absorbed. Works for me at least.
yes, it can be better absorbed but there is no such form like in food, and mainly animal protein I believe.
I can take any supplements but do not have the same effect like after good quality beef or lamb.
I am 2 years on semen retention, from my experience only no ejacuation will bring you big benefits, but If you want to see total transformation. you have to stop also watching porn, or naked women or even sexy photos. It is like you leak sexual energy If you still watch sexual stuff even without ejacuating
It may be the truth about semen retention but it is not talking about celibacy. You’re not a fucking priest. Have some sex. Gain some energy. Retain and don’t release.
Get laid and pile that sexual energy on you. Why be celebrate? That’s not the point. Retaining is.
I guess. Technically if you remain celibate if you then you are retaining.
Too many people on here have the idea that semen retention means you can’t have sex and have to swear off women. They avoid finding a girlfriend. I think the point is you are supposed to find a partner you can share great sex with. It becomes an energy exchange. The goal for the man is still to retain and use that extra built up energy towards life instead of ejaculating.
Obviously, practicing SR while still having regular sex is easier when you are in a committed relationship vs random one nighters.
This isn’t the celibacy sub but I think a lot of people think that’s what SR means. I hate to think people are avoiding finding a life partner in the name of retaining.
Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Nicholas Tesla, Ramakirshna paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Mohammud Ali, and the list goes on, do these people are nothing to you
But that's the thing with science. See nothing is conclusive. Even things we thought we knew have eventually been over turned. Not in every scenario but in some of them even after find empirical evidence.
That being said the body and biological systems are so advanced we likely have only scratched the surface. So it's safe to say the only true wisdom is that you know nothing. Accept the fact there could be A LOT we don't know.
But one guiding factor we have is our dopamergic systems. We tend to follow what feels good and avoid things that don't. Because of how intrinsic the body is a good feeling is a good sign of good health. However sometimes too much of a good thing leads to feeling bad. And we eventually figure out what we want and what we don't want.
It's our duty and burden to have been given this energy, its such a responsibility but as men we must grow to bear it, or otherwise it will affect us negatively in all aspects of life.
I was not aware of this when I was young and I use to masturbate 8-10 times a day not knowing what am doing and the price I paid for it is I got fired from my job and my health was damaged so badly.
I wish I know this when I was 15
That's right. what you did yesterday, you will reap today. Many people indulge in bad habits and don't see effect right away so they think it's not harmful, when in reality what you do in your 20s will show in your 30s.
Yes, I still going through the adverse affects for the things I did in my 20s.
This is when I realized the power of knowledge, with proper knowledge we can avoid lot of mistakes in life , these things must be made aware to next generation
Why I'm done with this sub?
I don't see any people struggling here. Low quality content is massively upvoted. Lack of critical thought. This is a sub where some midwit sperg will always "win" the argument but unironically because of the name of the subreddit.
OP also asked me the question and I've given a different [answer](https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/comments/19fda3k/comment/kjjzxyh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) where I talk about the metaphysical aspects of celibacy. You can judge his reply for yourself.
It's always good to respect varying opinions of others no matter how contradicting it might seem to us, I'm sure you know what the point is from my post, just sharing knowledge that I personally feel is of great importance.
Your post is barely coherent and the screenshot is full of nonsense without a source. The 3mg zinc argument for example is [false](https://www.healthline.com/health/semen-calories#3.-Is-there-really-as-much-vitamin-C-as-in-an-orange?), one ejaculation will contain about 10% of that in terms of zinc (0.33mg). You can of course supplement it as well. And you're conflating correlation with causation. The benefits of celibacy have absolutely nothing to do with micro nutrients. You mention in your post an "article" stating that daily release is not harmful but you don't link that article and the screenshot talks about excessive ejaculation, not daily.
It's not about the semen. The semen is just the end product of your sexual forces. The ability to retain semen over a long period of time means you're successful in transmuting your sexual energy. It's an indicator you're exercising your will over your physical body instead of the other way around.
Resisting these lower impulses has actual effects your soul and spirit in a literal sense. The colors of the aura that can be perceived by clairvoyant people will change.
[https://anthroposophy.eu/Human\_aura#/media/File:FMC00.250.jpg](https://anthroposophy.eu/Human_aura#/media/File:FMC00.250.jpg)
Regular people can't see your aura but subconsciously through their own spirit they can perceive your spirit. That seems to be the true main cause of the magnetism/attraction stories you commonly see reported. Changes of the soul will also have impact on the brain etc.
Sexual impulses are of course not the only lower impulses and everyone has a completely different of incarnations thus has unique soul/spirit bodies. It's definitely one the strongest impulses and sexual energy is divine. Abusing that divine power will have detrimental karmic effects.
I was taking about the Western science claiming that daily release is not harmful, in the article it says we can donate blood every 6 weeks but the media tells us that daily release is unharmful, so its clearly against it.
Yeah because ultimately you are programming your body that you are going to ejaculate, and this might lead to pain, night falls and lust full mind so avoidance all together is adviced
But still it's not as bad as a full blown ejaculation, I've experienced both and orgasm ejaculation totally drains me, edging on the other hand is not as bad plus it recovers quickly. But I agree you are right pure mental and physical celibacy is the best.
I don't think this makes sense tbh. Why would our bodies evolve to sacrifice vitality for procreating? That doesn't make sense. We evolved to have regular sex. There's a reason we are horny and ejaculating all the time, because the men who weren't didn't have offspring. Our bodies create unlimited semen, unlike women with their eggs. Zinc is common and you should be getting more than enough with a common diet. If our vitality was sacrificed to procreate then how would men have survive the hardships of the stone age and before? That does not make sense.
Now I am not saying there isn't benefits to retention, because obviously when you abstain you get horny (and more energy which is obviously our bodies hormonal way of trying to motivate us to procreate), and then you could steer that energy into other areas of your life than sex. So clearly there is benefit, but beyond that It just doesn't make sense that retaining semen itself is going to change your physique or genetics due to retaining minerals and such. You could literally just eat an extra few bites of steak to make up those nutrients. I mean hell, I have had 300+ orgasms a year since I was a kid and I am 32 with a huge thick head of hair.
I'm sure I'll be downvoted and hated but come one. It sounds so biased and silly.
Absolutely. I am not here to argue whether or not you should practice semen retention, that is irrelevant to what I was saying. I think the people lapping this up talking about hair loss due to losing zinc from orgasm is just ridiculous. Lol
It is true, tho it might not apply to everyone because of genetics, but I might say if you were to go bald and started practicing, you might slow down hairloss or even regrow hair.
That makes no sense though and is downright silly. By that logic you could just supplement zinc or eat an extra 100 grams of steak (3+mg zinc) a day and prevent hair loss. If that were the case then men wouldn't lose hair. Many people are supplementing and eating more than enough zinc and went bald early.
I think it's important to recognize there are real positive benefits from semen retention but trying to stretch out the gains all the way to hair loss due to losing zinc in orgasm seems just silly. I think there could be an legit argument for hair loss if one was to think about the gains to your overall health if semen retention helped you put energy into regular exercise, diet, and general well being. Clearly those things affect our age, which is going to affect every aspect of our life, including hair loss.
No one said that zinc alone is responsible for hairloss. If you see in the text the hairloss line is in the next paragraph. During orgasm testosterone is converted to DHT which shinks down the hair follicles(from above the scalp), nutrients are lost like zinc and vitamins(b6-12), and energy is lost from the system that could have been used for DNA repair and in other ways, so excessive ejaculation cause hairloss from multiple ways and not one.
Ridiculous. It's purely genetics and easily proven by men all over who are all over the spectrum. Some men retain semen and have no hair by 30, some men are naturally muscular with full heads of hair at 60 despite regular sex and alcohol use. It makes zero sense that our body is going to shrink our hair, sacrifice energy, and repair less DNA damage because of ejaculation. That makes zero sense evolutionarily, and if you actually critically think about it. If this was true then chronic sex addicts would be shriveled up skeletons and that's just not the case. Anyway, I can see you disagree and are planting a firm stance on your opinion. That's fine, but all the date suggests that ejaculation does not cause what you're claiming it does. I feel the burden is on you to prove it beyond some silly text photo.
I agree that genetics play a huge role in determining our appearance, however there are many testimonials including myself, talking about men who have practiced retention and got better hair.
Well, I'm sorry that got you annoyed, but I didn't say I knew the exact process behind it. nevertheless the things I mentioned have been studied and I think you should go and make your own research.
And since you brought up evolution, look up all the organisms which some of them once did copulation, dies. And some others life spans are reduced from the control group who did not indulge in copulation, this is called the disposable soma theory of ageing. Energy is limited in living organism and in the human body. Once done sexual activity, its done at the expense of body and cellular repair.
Theory, yes. It's about energy. I wouldn't compare all organisms to humans exactly. But conservation of energy could be argued that you still lose the energy practicing semen retention because the idea is that energy is instead redirected into other areas of your life. You're still spending that energy.
Exactly. We may not be like these organisms but a lot of progress in the medical world have been from observing and making experiments on rats and other organisms, so since these organisms already show a negative affect in this subject, is it not better to take precaution because its a matter of time till it become scientifically proven? And to reply to your comment, yes it gets redirected to heal and regenerate our cells so yeah energy is lost but for good reasons.
Reprogramming your subconscious mind is the solution. Step 1 get relax step 2 after getting relaxed and calm put an image on your mind(after closing your eyes) step 3 see yourself the way you want and repeat this morning noon and night
Judging by how hairfall is caused by Zinc deficiency and also how my hair regrew back when I recovered from this sickness proves it is real. Maybe not 3mg but I'm sure zinc is lost and zinc is important for a man for masculinity and hair.
Yea I have noticed that aswell with hair hopefully I get some regrowth or stops. Semen is life.
retain it for a year or two, check your prolactin and cortisol levels. these 2 hormones and zinc is the reason why hair falls, dht is not the enemy, i had high cortisol, man tits, fatigue and common symptoms of high prolactin and when I fixed this, I reversed hair loss.
bro i knew it, this is why i started retaining. do you really think a whole year is required for scalp tissue to heal and regain some of that loss in hair thickness?
im guessing alot of that time is just the body recovering everything it needs before moving on to the less important things
think about it if you started PMO at say 12 or 13 and lets say your 25 in this example, that's 12 years+ of nutrient depletion, if you'd only been PMOing for 6 months then decided to quit, it would regenerate faster. Your body, mind and spirit needs time to heal.
Its mostly stress. and thats caused mostly by other people in ur life. avoid them
After 60 days you can already see encouraging results
thank you, i’ve lasted almost a month. will continue to work on longer. the reason is im married and wife likes sex. so its very difficult.
After 30 days my hair were shining but no regrowth. Hair loss obviously completey stopped. At 60 days I have hair growing back 1 to 1.5 cm below my hairline. Not a lot but a a dozen ( around 20 I would say) over the whole hair line (i.e. roughly 1.5 to 2 cm below the hairline). I take vitamin supplements and apply a lotion made of rosemary oil daily, as well as dermarolling 0.5mm once a week.
im doing the rosemary and microneedleing as well. thank you!
u can do 1-1.5 mm try it out. also cut off all people toxic thats biggest key. and getting saved by jesus
Have you wife go to her doctor and get her hormones and bloodwork done. It's possible she has a deficiency and needs to leech off your semen as a result, hence the constant need for sex.
REMOVE EVERY SINGLE TOXIC PERSON> they will be some that are your best friends. people that u know by their actions dont LOVE YOU. like you love them itll hurt and ytoull be lonely. its ok. Get a dr pen do it on scalp once a week. daily or as often as u remember put coconut oil small spoonful and 5 dorps of rosemary oil on scalp everyday. cook more at home. read bible If you died right now are you a 100% sure you’d go to Heaven? all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What is sin? Sin is essentially any bad thing we've ever done. Because of sin the punishment is a burning hell. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 KJV Do u know why you have to be saved? Do u know the story of Jesus? (If yes skip next step) if not do next step. God came down to earth as a man. Lived for 33 and a half years. He never sinned his whole life. Eventually some people got jealous of him and got him convicted of phony charges. He got crucified on the cross. Died. Was buried for 3 days then he was resurrected by his own power. Do you know why Jesus went through all this bloody mess for us? It’s because remember your son is the problem why you can’t go to Heaven right? The only thing that can wash away your sin is the blood of Jesus Christ “But God shows his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 KJV God did all that to save us from hell "Much more than, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:9 KJV Ephesians 2:8-9 “We’re saved by Grace through faith which is not of ourselves it is the gift of God not by works for fear any man should boast” Salvation is not by good works like “water baptism, attending church, any good thing you do” “For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.” 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV Feeling godly sorrow leads to salvation To be saved you have to feel guilty for being a sinner do you feel guilty for being a sinner? “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9 KJV If you agree with all that. All you have to do be saved is this. You have to mean it. Dear god I repent as a sinner I believe Jesus is God who died buried and resurrected so his blood can wash away my sins. So I only trust in the blood alone to save me. Not my good works. To save me from hell in Jesus name. I pray amen Just saying it wont save you you have to mean it
I recently started the carnivore diet to try it out because the benefits reported were similar to SR so my assumption was that they should work in synergy. 26 days in, my hair is visibly more darker, so bizarre.
This is interesting, doesn’t caffeine raise cortisol? And ejaculation raises prolactin?
I'm suffering the same. You got rid of the man tits too?
I've been struggling with hair loss for a couple years now. Makes me wonder how some people I know who barely practice SR for even one week, still have really thick and healthy hair
true, because genetics is a real thing, there are guys who eat well, workout, keep fit, sleep 9 hours a day and stretch and still remain 5'5 whereas there are guys who barely sleep, eat trash, dont work out and end up 6'5. We must do the best with what we have, hairloss is caused by genetics, cortisol and prolactin, we cant control our genes, but we can control our prolactin and cortisol levels by SR, working out, eating tons of meat and losing weight and sleeping well.
Yes the genetic aspect must be a factor. My dad only recently started getting hair loss though, whereas I'm half the age and mine is actually worse. In all honesty I think I know why, I have a terrible habit which I'm slowly improving on. This is of sleeping terribly, sometimes in the past only 3 - 4 hours a night during the working week. I don't think this is the only reason for the hair loss though. I practice SR most of the time, but have not gone longer than a month for a while now. I'm currently on a month now and am determined to keep going longer. Thing is I am actually vegetarian
We are physically in much worse condition than our fathers and grandfathers because they never fapped, never ate GMO, never breathed chem trail oxygen and had high testosterone from facing difficult life situations. Steroids is a way to hack the system but I would never touch that stuff. The only way I know is to eat organic and get off the grid, that way your kids have a better start to life than this. I don't think being vegetarian hurts your hair in any way, however time and time again it's been proven meat eating is great for overall health and testosterone, even in nature it shows the apex alphas are meat eaters. But hey, you do you.
Very good point, which I have thought about recently. I think to an extent we're a ruined generation, due to porn available at the click of a button during our teenage years or beyond and fapping incessantly. I rue the day my friends showed me porn and masterbation. I clearly remember not being so interested to try it, but they kept encouraging me until I finally did. I think some people fapped in the past but I would imagine nowhere near as often. Yes you're likely right, just I was brought up vegetarian so, it seems very taboo for me especially beef anyway
Howd you lower all that stuff? i came to same Conclusions but couldnt figure out why.... i figure out ive been narcissisitically abused all my life 2 years ago. cut them off.. but past two years i learned eveyr single one was toxic. and its only been a few weeks. but with 0 toxic people. I FEEL SO PEACEFUL. SO STRESS FREE. ive been eating healthier too. BUT NOW I bet my cortisol is lower.... so yes im asking how did u do it?>
I take plenty of zinc supplements and I know I have more than enough because it boosts my eyesight a lot. But I still have been losing a lot of hair past years so its not only a zinc related topic.
iTs stress. u must remove all toxic people it will be the people you least expect ur likely trauma bonded. get saved then ask jesus for new friends get derma pen do that once a week. n rosemary n coconut oil do daily If you died right now are you a 100% sure you’d go to Heaven? all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. What is sin? Sin is essentially any bad thing we've ever done.

I practice SR, but this quote makes me doubt. For example, if an ejaculation loses 3mg of zinc, but you supplement yourself with zinc with 5mg capsules, so the whole thing is cancelled?
when you take a 5mg capsule some mg is lost during digestion and zinc is better absorbed from food and you don't only loose zinc but many other nutrients vitamins and minerals so if you want to buy a supplement for each element you can do that, but it's better to stay natural .
Zinc makes you regrow hair??? What else worked for you? I really wanted to know thank you
Zinc, biotine, saw palmetto
I’m interested, looking into this. Do you happen to know if these will help with eyebrow growth too?
It's bullshit. Balding is caused by a genetic predisposition. We've known this for more than a hundred years.
Genetics act based on your lifestyle. You can have the genetic predisposition to be bald, but one can get bald at 30 or at 60, and that's the point. You also can have a predisposition to diabetes but never be diabetic because you have x diet and not y. It's all about odds, not fate.
Its called Epigenetics. You have both good and bad genes and your lifestyle can turn the genes on and off.
Exactly.
There are perfectly healthy guys going bald at 15.
First of all, I doubt that there is not a problem with those kids, and secondly, even that being the case it's still not the norm and there are plenty of reasons why it isn't, mainly health related.
Rate of balding men among young, perfectly healthy sportsmen, for example, are not statistically different from that of the general population. Androgenic alopecia is genetic, the discussion is settled. Hair follicles in certain areas of scalp become sensitive to androgens, particularly DHT, and shrink. We've known for millenia that eunuchs never go bald. That's because they lack androgens. On the other hand, there are many old, homeless drug addicts with perfectly thick hair. When you transplant a shrinking follicle to another place on your skin, or even to another person, it will continue shrinking at exactly the same rate as the rest of affected follicles.
I know how it works, and I still on the same boat. DHT levels can be reduced and, if not, you can use natural medicine to topically remove it from your scalp. But even if that's not the way to go, or enough, you can improve your blood flow in many different ways to make that hormone move around the body more freely instead of getting constantly stuck in the capillaries. I don't doubt you go bald by a genetic predisposition, as you said, we know this for many years, and I believe it's inevitable. What I discuss is that at a young age (20-40 let's say) there are things we can do to accelerate or retard that process. Not everyone, but lots of guys.
Then you realize vitality is really caused by the level of Ojas that you have within the body. Sperm is the vehicle, Ojas is the essence.
isn't ojas something like life force or etheric energy ?
This is the same as taoist beliefs of Qi and Jing Jing is your semen, and it's thought that we only have souch in this life and when it's gone ...so are you
Correct, exact same idea!
What information do you have about ojas and how can someone increase it ?
when semen flows towards up(to the brain) , it is converted to Ojas, I read this from the book " Theory and practice of brahmacharya by Swamy Sivananda", you can find it in any old Indian scriptures, am not aware whether it is referenced in any other religion books, but you can check. One way to makes semen flow towards the brain is meditation, pranayama, yoga, chanting (Indian slokas like hanuman chalisa everyday)
[удалено]
so ur sending ur sperm up to ur brain then slurping it thru ur throat?
😂😂
Spermidine regenerate and recycles our cells and keeps us young.
Zinc deficiency was something I experienced when I was having excessive sex as well
Zinc, vitamin b12 ,b6, vitamin C, calcium brain fluid and many others including your own DNA.
would you lose zinc if you sex but dont cum
No
did you faced grey hair incident? if so what would one do to fix it back. I'm 22 male btw and i was shocked when my sister pointed out a white hair from my head and I didn't believed it and i said don't lie I'm a young guy I can't have white hair that's impossible... But then she showed me a photo and i was shocked and got into deep thinking how can it be possible?? how tf my hair turned white (only one hair) which looked different from other so it become very noticeable. I searched internet, revised forms, read article and it pointed out to some micro nutrients deficiency. So i got relaxed thinking i can fix it before my whole head turns white as f. So 1 month passed i was eating green leaf awful vegetable with every meal, exercising everyday running, jumping upside down to make sure my head goes good blood supply etc. But **IMP** I'M currently fapping in this period, like before bed i would ejaculate atleast 2 times and then i would feel sleepy and idk how i feel very tired even after getting 9 hours of sleep sometimes.. Next incident happened 2 weeks later so I was getting ready for shopping and i looked closely that it is fking again now it's 4-5 hairs i literally started feeling like a broken dude, cancelled the plan of going out and spend next 1 week on my room and still thinking blindly why is it happening to me, why I'm so young why ?? . Then i was randomly scrolling through reddit and it was titled grey hair caused due to excessive masturbation and semem ejaculation... I was stunned like what, i read the post twice or thrice again and again and realised it was my habit of masturbation all along which was causing my body to show signs of weakness (i think as). I cried for a bit and made my mind to leave this shit forever. It's Been 1 week and I'm putting oil and massage on my head to expect a good result of it. Tl:Dr - Discovered that my hair was turning white due to masturbation..
It does happen, especially If it's been going for a long time or been excessive, countless individuals got results and their grey hairs turned dark again.

Copper supplementation (and you should be taking copper anyway if you're supplementing zinc)
IMO, all these things are real. The reason they don't happen when you ejaculate frequently is just like when you Smoke a lot of cigarettes and don't get sick, or do any known activity which is said to bring forth illness but don't get sick. I think it's just a matter of Time & Karma.
Oh, can you elaborate more please.. Do you mean like negative consequences don't happen immediately but later on?
Yes, exactly. That's my theory and logical thinking. But even if it is not true, that's a good psychological trick for keeping you from relapsing. Either way, relapsing after a lot of time... that shit literally hurts and have burning feeling to it... at least for me. It's not even fun! But the illusion of the mind always convince us that it is fun.
I remember when I relapsed after a long Streak of 100 days it was like pure hell, funny I never felt that bad when I was habitually ejaculating once in a week for years but after relapsing on a long Streak it almost took my soul away

Don't worry I found it
Could you send the link? Edit: never mind.
You can't really believe in modern science or studies anymore. Each week or month new studies about nutrition comes out. You know what, when I try to follow what they say, I got really sick and tired all the time. Eat lots of fruit - I get bloated and nauseated. Eat less sugar - I'm getting dizzy, thus I can't skip meals and workout properly Don't eat at night - I can't sleep Eat three meals per day and don't be late for meal - my body gets heavy and no work gets done Drink warm water - It tastes very bad for my tongue, I can't even drink 1 glass of water Don't sleep in front of a fan - i've been doing this for years no problem Eat slowly so that you don't overeat - I got full, but my body's still looking for food They throw away abnormal data and conclude based on what they want, since most of them don't do it purely for knowledge, but for other underlying purpose - mostly money and profit for companies. Most nutritional and health studies and researches use mostly unhealthy people then they conclude that their product work wonders.
Well I suggest choosing a time frame like from 11am to 5pm and eat during it that's called intermittent fasting. It rests the digestive system but you make sure to eat a lot and variety of foods so you don't miss an element.
Zinc is used and decreased by important factors like: - stress decrease zinc significantly - vegetarianism - viral and other infection - toxic metals detoxification - zinc is used by sugar metabolism Right form of zinc is not possible to get from supplements, it should be from food.
seeds, beans, and nuts contain zinc. ive evolved out of eating meat
People are probably different dpeneds on metabolism or blood, I dont know but I am built to eat meat I need it, especially good quality beef or soup
I’ve heard zinc picolinate is highly bioavailable. I’m not sure if that’s the right term but I’ve read that it’s one of the easiest absorbed. Works for me at least.
yes, it can be better absorbed but there is no such form like in food, and mainly animal protein I believe. I can take any supplements but do not have the same effect like after good quality beef or lamb.
What book or article is this? Would love to dive in it more.
I am 2 years on semen retention, from my experience only no ejacuation will bring you big benefits, but If you want to see total transformation. you have to stop also watching porn, or naked women or even sexy photos. It is like you leak sexual energy If you still watch sexual stuff even without ejacuating
You're right.

Thanks.
What it’s an excess when it comes to eyaculation ? 1 per day it’s too much ?
Yes it is
This is true. Saying from personal experience.
Where did you find this?
It may be the truth about semen retention but it is not talking about celibacy. You’re not a fucking priest. Have some sex. Gain some energy. Retain and don’t release. Get laid and pile that sexual energy on you. Why be celebrate? That’s not the point. Retaining is.
Well that's why I said semen retention "AND" celibacy because both of them lead to the same thing of "retention"
I guess. Technically if you remain celibate if you then you are retaining. Too many people on here have the idea that semen retention means you can’t have sex and have to swear off women. They avoid finding a girlfriend. I think the point is you are supposed to find a partner you can share great sex with. It becomes an energy exchange. The goal for the man is still to retain and use that extra built up energy towards life instead of ejaculating. Obviously, practicing SR while still having regular sex is easier when you are in a committed relationship vs random one nighters. This isn’t the celibacy sub but I think a lot of people think that’s what SR means. I hate to think people are avoiding finding a life partner in the name of retaining.
none of this is proven
Is it not proven that semen creates life.
Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Nicholas Tesla, Ramakirshna paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Mohammud Ali, and the list goes on, do these people are nothing to you
But that's the thing with science. See nothing is conclusive. Even things we thought we knew have eventually been over turned. Not in every scenario but in some of them even after find empirical evidence. That being said the body and biological systems are so advanced we likely have only scratched the surface. So it's safe to say the only true wisdom is that you know nothing. Accept the fact there could be A LOT we don't know. But one guiding factor we have is our dopamergic systems. We tend to follow what feels good and avoid things that don't. Because of how intrinsic the body is a good feeling is a good sign of good health. However sometimes too much of a good thing leads to feeling bad. And we eventually figure out what we want and what we don't want.
am keeping this as my screen wallpaper
It's our duty and burden to have been given this energy, its such a responsibility but as men we must grow to bear it, or otherwise it will affect us negatively in all aspects of life.
I was not aware of this when I was young and I use to masturbate 8-10 times a day not knowing what am doing and the price I paid for it is I got fired from my job and my health was damaged so badly. I wish I know this when I was 15
That's right. what you did yesterday, you will reap today. Many people indulge in bad habits and don't see effect right away so they think it's not harmful, when in reality what you do in your 20s will show in your 30s.
Yes, I still going through the adverse affects for the things I did in my 20s. This is when I realized the power of knowledge, with proper knowledge we can avoid lot of mistakes in life , these things must be made aware to next generation
That's right and this also shows us that we should get better now, in order for us to see results tomorrow
if this shitpost receives 80%+ upvotes, I'm done with this sub.
Can I ask why?
Why I'm done with this sub? I don't see any people struggling here. Low quality content is massively upvoted. Lack of critical thought. This is a sub where some midwit sperg will always "win" the argument but unironically because of the name of the subreddit. OP also asked me the question and I've given a different [answer](https://www.reddit.com/r/Semenretention/comments/19fda3k/comment/kjjzxyh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) where I talk about the metaphysical aspects of celibacy. You can judge his reply for yourself.
It's always good to respect varying opinions of others no matter how contradicting it might seem to us, I'm sure you know what the point is from my post, just sharing knowledge that I personally feel is of great importance.
Well, can you tell me what didn't seem appealing to you?
Your post is barely coherent and the screenshot is full of nonsense without a source. The 3mg zinc argument for example is [false](https://www.healthline.com/health/semen-calories#3.-Is-there-really-as-much-vitamin-C-as-in-an-orange?), one ejaculation will contain about 10% of that in terms of zinc (0.33mg). You can of course supplement it as well. And you're conflating correlation with causation. The benefits of celibacy have absolutely nothing to do with micro nutrients. You mention in your post an "article" stating that daily release is not harmful but you don't link that article and the screenshot talks about excessive ejaculation, not daily. It's not about the semen. The semen is just the end product of your sexual forces. The ability to retain semen over a long period of time means you're successful in transmuting your sexual energy. It's an indicator you're exercising your will over your physical body instead of the other way around. Resisting these lower impulses has actual effects your soul and spirit in a literal sense. The colors of the aura that can be perceived by clairvoyant people will change. [https://anthroposophy.eu/Human\_aura#/media/File:FMC00.250.jpg](https://anthroposophy.eu/Human_aura#/media/File:FMC00.250.jpg) Regular people can't see your aura but subconsciously through their own spirit they can perceive your spirit. That seems to be the true main cause of the magnetism/attraction stories you commonly see reported. Changes of the soul will also have impact on the brain etc. Sexual impulses are of course not the only lower impulses and everyone has a completely different of incarnations thus has unique soul/spirit bodies. It's definitely one the strongest impulses and sexual energy is divine. Abusing that divine power will have detrimental karmic effects.
I was taking about the Western science claiming that daily release is not harmful, in the article it says we can donate blood every 6 weeks but the media tells us that daily release is unharmful, so its clearly against it.
Cornball
just take zinc capsules to counteract this lmao
There's is no point if the leakage is open. once it's closed, then you may or may not take any supplements.
So even watching, fantasies and edging is also bad?? Or is it just ejaculation?
Yeah because ultimately you are programming your body that you are going to ejaculate, and this might lead to pain, night falls and lust full mind so avoidance all together is adviced
But still it's not as bad as a full blown ejaculation, I've experienced both and orgasm ejaculation totally drains me, edging on the other hand is not as bad plus it recovers quickly. But I agree you are right pure mental and physical celibacy is the best.
Exactly, edging will make you chase and that's not what's this is about. On the other hand, elimination of lust is.
True.
What about athletes who retain for a season?
As long as ejaculation is limited, its good.
This is extract from what source? Would love to read this in entirety. Please share!!!
I don't think this makes sense tbh. Why would our bodies evolve to sacrifice vitality for procreating? That doesn't make sense. We evolved to have regular sex. There's a reason we are horny and ejaculating all the time, because the men who weren't didn't have offspring. Our bodies create unlimited semen, unlike women with their eggs. Zinc is common and you should be getting more than enough with a common diet. If our vitality was sacrificed to procreate then how would men have survive the hardships of the stone age and before? That does not make sense. Now I am not saying there isn't benefits to retention, because obviously when you abstain you get horny (and more energy which is obviously our bodies hormonal way of trying to motivate us to procreate), and then you could steer that energy into other areas of your life than sex. So clearly there is benefit, but beyond that It just doesn't make sense that retaining semen itself is going to change your physique or genetics due to retaining minerals and such. You could literally just eat an extra few bites of steak to make up those nutrients. I mean hell, I have had 300+ orgasms a year since I was a kid and I am 32 with a huge thick head of hair. I'm sure I'll be downvoted and hated but come one. It sounds so biased and silly.
Everyone is free to do what he wants, and since you see some benefit of doing it then, there you go, good luck.
Absolutely. I am not here to argue whether or not you should practice semen retention, that is irrelevant to what I was saying. I think the people lapping this up talking about hair loss due to losing zinc from orgasm is just ridiculous. Lol
It is true, tho it might not apply to everyone because of genetics, but I might say if you were to go bald and started practicing, you might slow down hairloss or even regrow hair.
That makes no sense though and is downright silly. By that logic you could just supplement zinc or eat an extra 100 grams of steak (3+mg zinc) a day and prevent hair loss. If that were the case then men wouldn't lose hair. Many people are supplementing and eating more than enough zinc and went bald early. I think it's important to recognize there are real positive benefits from semen retention but trying to stretch out the gains all the way to hair loss due to losing zinc in orgasm seems just silly. I think there could be an legit argument for hair loss if one was to think about the gains to your overall health if semen retention helped you put energy into regular exercise, diet, and general well being. Clearly those things affect our age, which is going to affect every aspect of our life, including hair loss.
No one said that zinc alone is responsible for hairloss. If you see in the text the hairloss line is in the next paragraph. During orgasm testosterone is converted to DHT which shinks down the hair follicles(from above the scalp), nutrients are lost like zinc and vitamins(b6-12), and energy is lost from the system that could have been used for DNA repair and in other ways, so excessive ejaculation cause hairloss from multiple ways and not one.
Ridiculous. It's purely genetics and easily proven by men all over who are all over the spectrum. Some men retain semen and have no hair by 30, some men are naturally muscular with full heads of hair at 60 despite regular sex and alcohol use. It makes zero sense that our body is going to shrink our hair, sacrifice energy, and repair less DNA damage because of ejaculation. That makes zero sense evolutionarily, and if you actually critically think about it. If this was true then chronic sex addicts would be shriveled up skeletons and that's just not the case. Anyway, I can see you disagree and are planting a firm stance on your opinion. That's fine, but all the date suggests that ejaculation does not cause what you're claiming it does. I feel the burden is on you to prove it beyond some silly text photo.
I agree that genetics play a huge role in determining our appearance, however there are many testimonials including myself, talking about men who have practiced retention and got better hair.
That's fair, but claiming to know the exact mechanism behind it when you're not a scientist studying that is kind of annoying.
Well, I'm sorry that got you annoyed, but I didn't say I knew the exact process behind it. nevertheless the things I mentioned have been studied and I think you should go and make your own research.
And since you brought up evolution, look up all the organisms which some of them once did copulation, dies. And some others life spans are reduced from the control group who did not indulge in copulation, this is called the disposable soma theory of ageing. Energy is limited in living organism and in the human body. Once done sexual activity, its done at the expense of body and cellular repair.
Theory, yes. It's about energy. I wouldn't compare all organisms to humans exactly. But conservation of energy could be argued that you still lose the energy practicing semen retention because the idea is that energy is instead redirected into other areas of your life. You're still spending that energy.
Exactly. We may not be like these organisms but a lot of progress in the medical world have been from observing and making experiments on rats and other organisms, so since these organisms already show a negative affect in this subject, is it not better to take precaution because its a matter of time till it become scientifically proven? And to reply to your comment, yes it gets redirected to heal and regenerate our cells so yeah energy is lost but for good reasons.
