How does semen retention jive with a healthy and regular "healthy” sexual lifestyle of a single man? It would seem that semen retention promotes a committed and more serious relationship where promiscuity is not an option because it would be counterproductive … How does this choice jives with establishing a romantic and committed relationship where sexual intimacy is involved?
Imagine how when you are starved you would eat even saw dust, think well about that and see how retention makes you a lame soft no boundaries man, that life you want?
One great side effect of no-fap, which i really wasn't expecting, is how much less sleep I need. Waking up at 6am and not feeling the need to go back to sleep is amazing!
@@darthphaser2991Perhaps you're exercising/raising your energy levels too late in the day. You could try some calming pranayama (breathwork) followed by meditation, which would help you sleep better.
I’m a week over 60 days. I feel the best I’ve ever felt about myself. I still have bad days but I’m more aware and just learn to accept them. I had 2 slips, I pmo’d but got straight back into nopmo. It’s all about how you react on you minor lapses and get back into retention. Don’t ever think “ I relapsed, now I can go on a binge”. Meditate, forgive yourself and continue, do not restart. You’re progress isn’t lost. You just had a setback. Trust me it gets easier, with every time you continue to start again.
100 percent. most will relapse and its all about how you handle it, get straight back up. if you are relapsing try to stay conscious about it, its hard because pmo is a unconcious act. sometimes you need to drink the poison to remind you why you want to be disciplined
I think it's important to stress the importance of NOT WASTE your retention time, especially after a few months. For years I've been going back and forth on semen retention, and I think this has to do with my lack of initiative to take a step beyond the positive feelings and sensations of the first few months of retention. Many times I followed this same path: I start nofap at a peak of motivation; I feel great for the first few weeks; after a while I get impatient and I no longer see the results in my conscience; until I relap and throw it all away. So what I mean is: DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR ENERGY! When you feel energized, calm, motivated....this is the right time to take initiative and do something to change your life significantly and stay motivated on the journey; whether starting a relationship, looking for a better job, starting a project, moving to another city, starting a more radical change of habits.....SOMETHING! The results don't come by themselves, if you keep waiting, the motivation flame will go out and you'll go back to where you came from.
this is why i think semen retention is some kind of self enslavement.. your body tells you what to do, but you say no.. you are working against your body, you are trying to beat nature.. and this cant be good for you.. im sure there is a good reason a male body needs to release semen from time to time.. just like there is a good reason women get their period and release blood, its not going to hurt you.
When on retention you truly feel what steps need to be taken to get you from the life you're living to the one you desire to live in the future, more focus, and relapse is a distraction from your end goal.
Seriously though but the reason why I think guys get prideful in that stage is because woman love prideful men and I know you guys might disagree with me but there's this one study I saw where they had woman look at men with different expressions and which expressions they liked and there was 4 expressions (Happy/shame/pride/neutral) and the ranking was neutral took the first place pride took the second shame was the third and happy was the last so what I'm saying is that maybe the reason guys get prideful and cocky is because they know woman love prideful men at least subconsciously (mb for the long text lol)
Thanks for this. Currently on 22 days, I started to notice magnetism on day 17 and confirmed it on day 18. Everyone is just being nice to me for no reason.
Maybe its not the aura you produce that gets peoples attention, but rather something happened to your brain that made you realise that people were always nice but you failed to perceive it, similar to irrational fears.
@@rikkosmappouros9494 This is definitely what happens. When the dopamine levels are inflated due to watching porn, which effects last longer than cocaine, the brain do not see a reason to notice the smaller boosts of dopamine. Of course it's not just porn, but that's just an easy and common example. Indeed, as you said yourself, once you let your brain reach a normal state of dopamine, it will be able to notice these smaller boosts.
It also works the other way around, if u believe in god more (by reading the Bible alot and reminding yourself) ur urges go down and u get more control
Once you survive week one it becomes effortless. I’m headed into week 3 and I have no desire to stop. Sex doesn’t even cross my mind and I’m super relaxed and focused. We’re in this together bros. Stay strong and never give up!
Idk man week one is where my urges get insane. It is like I feel too cocky and then i end up relapsing. But as the video creator said, i will have to work on the mental side of it...
I just realized how positive your vibration is and despite being an adult you still have that child like innocence on your face, may god bless you brother.
Being over 200days on this journey, all I have to say that you can't do this all by yourself. You need to seek help from others on the same path and also you need to start praying during the lowest moments. Strength and power to all you brothers out there, we are going to make it.
You can totally do it all on your own. You can even continue having sexual relations with women who understand. Please don't push your own experiences and limitations onto others as the only path.
Golden information. On 30+ days now after several 2-3 week streaks and relapses over the last 5 years and now determined more than ever to make it to 90+ days to be who I am meant to be and be closer to God than ever. God bless bro!
First time went i went on a 3 month streak this is very accurate im back in my balance phase now I can only imgaine what 90+ days is like , I relasped out of boredom I didnt know how to handle the power. I also felt my soul instead of my body as strange as it sounds , this practice is very real I felt on top of the world almost every moment of my existance and a stronger connection to the divine on that 90 day streak.
I was 20 when I got in jail. It was so shocking & trauma for me that I was unable to thinking about sex at all. I began to learn meditate & had supernatural experiences,then I finished high scool,then learn English... My opinion now,nearly 30 years later: We,as living beings are way more complicated than the mainstream says.
Excellent tutorial. My longest streak was just 5 months without too much trouble. I can confirm feeling more energized, confident, radiant also, my intuition and psychic abilites are heightened. furthermore, other people notice something different about me but of course they cannot figure out what is different.
@@Dantheguitarman3 Going well, my guy. Today is day 115. Had two wet dreams at around day 100. Still have some urges and fantasizing from time to time. Discipline and mental fortitude is at all time high. Getting shit done!
Loved that you talked about staying humble. I did start experiencing the pride thing when I got to week 3 and 4. I would like to hear more about what staying humble looks like in this phase. Thanks
Awesome video, you're a great addition to the "Semen Retention" community. Looks like you're still trying to find your niche on RUclips, but I hope you try to focus on the SR angle. The younger generation of men are in bad shape because of p*rn, so we need as many men as possible spreading the benefits of SR.
Day 78 today. I’ve watched this video 5 or 6 times each while getting closer to the next phase. My life is drastically different. Almost any goal feels possible. Finding myself in places I never thought I’d be. Wars have been fought over sex. People have been killed over sex. Harness this energy gentlemen. It will serve you when you transmute & redirect it. You have my word.
I've started my semen retention journey 3 weeks ago n I feel really good n there are alot of strange happenings that occur on a day to day basis. But the focus n the connection to God is a plus, n with saying that manifesting has begun to become more recognizable.
Day 120 here. Have faith in the phases. You will experience new kinds of energy and motivation. Meditation, morning walks, and a healthy diet will amplify the effect.
Really appreciate this video ive been doing this SR journey since november 2022, my longest streak was 103, 27, 20, 13, 6, what got to me is the remeberance of how good it feels when you release but aftermath hit me like a train, i will forever stay on this journey, to fix my CNS, get my life together and hopefully joining the french foreign legion or re-enlisting into the U.S military, last but not least attract my soul mate, i got a thing for indian and south asian women 😎, plus to become magnetic
very well said, was surprised at how accurate this was as this reflected my own experience 1:1. Glad to see others are also experiencing the benefits and remember, if you relapse it’s not all gone. Pick yourself back up and continue
I started about 3 weeks ago (wish I got the actual date) and I’ve noticed a lot. For all of my life I’ve been fat and pretty unattractive but I’d been working out for about 2 years. My lifts have gone way up. My body fat is way down. My hair looks way better along with my skin. My voice is a lot more deeper and my accent has started to come back out ( I have a slight southern drawl). My face looks more defined but that might be the body fat dropping. Ive also started noticing women checking me out and even hitting on me which has never happened to me before. I also feel a lot closer to god. I feel free
Glad for you brother, i´ve been approached by the hottest girl in my gym asking me if i could help her with an exercise, i dont know if it is related or just a coincidence, im almost on 1 month of nofap, i did 1 month a year before and left it because i didnt felt anything at all, im going to do three months to see if anything changes
I can relate to the pride warning thing. I got into a bit of hot water in a professional setting for being too direct. Thank you for sharing this as I just thought I was a weirdo and didn’t realise it was cos of nofap
Great video Koen! I myself have been addicted to porn for 14 years and i am now 26 years old. Today marks my 7 day streak on semen retention and i cant remember when i last went that long without releasing semen or watching porn. Something that has made this week fairly easy for me and already noticing some of the later benefits is that i have started replacing my bad habits with better habits such as taking a 10-20 minute walk first thing when waking up, start meditating and doing alot of research on spirituality, gaining interest and wanting to pursue that more. Removing all the triggers i could think of. Spending more time with friends & family. A new goal that i started on which is getting a motorcycle license. Also doing alot of research on semen retention and realizing how bad porn is and how good the benefits of semen retention are! Stay strong brothers!
A few days after the 40th day for me, I had a relapsed. I felt shame for it because it had been years since I ever went longer than a month. By those last days the urge was high and difficult, not easy to ignore because I felt my whole body was aware and sensitive, it almost hurt. That said, I felt more confident and alive, not sluggish and demotivated. So, its a "detoxing" process from this lusting desire in my brain.
@@benleister384I also like to think of it like "I had one O in 40 days...so say 3 days later, you can say, I had one in 43 days...it's cumulative. Not truly "starting all over" as if you were fapping every day or something. That's counterproductive to be that hard on yourself.
i hate the period after when the body diverts all the resources to replenishing what you just blew out on a tissue... literally makes me feel ill all tired and weak and that's the main reason i don't be doing it often.. i've done 150 days before and then it was all gone in 30 seconds 😅 might try and do it again
Thank you very much sir I managed to get to a certain level in my life where I couldn't get ahead without fixing this issue. I really feel deep inside my body that this solution is going to change everything.
I've gone for as long as 74 days semen retention. Everything was great young and old people were nice to me. Some haters here and there but i kept on going strong 🤞.
I am a 24 year old man currently on day 16. I have been working out a lot lately and I’m a chef and I got so much energy even after my shifts. Been going to work earlier and I am making intention to read more It feels absolutely great and I am going to advice my friends to go on this journey too.
Channeling the energy through meditation and transmutation through yoga has made it possible to handle that kind of power. Spiritual transcendental experience is absolutely spot on, even if that was not the intent.
This is exactly what eastern culture saint and yogi have been following for centuries for enlightment . This is called " Brahmachary" in Hindu words or celebacy pracitces. Now western people are gradually realizing the importance of semen retention or celebacy . Thanks for your valuable information .
I like what you said that most men get stuck in the recovery phase and never tap into energy. What I don't like are the comments what day they are on and thinking SR needs to be indefinite. It is not about going 30 or 300 days; I feel it is about discipline to limit ejaculations. For me as a 50 year old, once per month is ideal. The problem is that many of us have that "all or none" mind so it is hard to find balance.
The thing is: most people are addicted. Its not safe to do it one time per month out of the blue. You have to let the addiction fade a way first which can take some years for some people.
It's a cycle, like a winding spiral on and on it goes, similar themes and seasons but expressed and experienced with a fresh and beautiful novelty each time... Like a flower blooming, you know it's just petals opening up, but each petal opens up in a way that is similar to the other petals yet unique in its own way and contributes to the beauty of the flower
I will be at 1400 days no fap on 10/5/23. I haven't turned into a chick magnet but I have been focused on working and making money and preparing for economic and societal collapse. Working 60 hours a week.
Great video, Koen!! Having been on this path for a long time after decades of sex addiction I can confirm whatever you've said. Even now, at sixty, the 'urges' do arise, & I've heard that they do well into old age. One has to accept this fact as it is indeed the basic instinct. Transmutation has been key, rather than suppression, which only leads to other problems. All kinds of work/creativity, being mindful about not getting bogged down in workaholism, does help. Exercise helps too.....particularly dancing, which I do regularly at the techno/psytrance parties down here in Goa, India. 🕺💃 Grounding helps release the 'excess electrical charge' & harmonize one's energies with the Earth's electromagnetic field, & I sometimes do that with a barefoot walk along the wet sands on the beach. Yogasanas/pranayama are of great help as well, building up a good base for meditation, which helps the most.....cultivating a meditative state rather, just resting in Awareness - our essential unchanging nature, equanimously observing the changing phenomena at the physical/mental levels, without getting entangled in them, thus allowing all of the stuff arising from the deeper recesses of the mind to pass away, which it does sooner or later, rather than reacting to it, which only leads to its 'multiplying', as the Buddha put it, call it vipassana or whatever. And, wowwwww.....there's so much more energy, vitality, joy, serenity, freedom......!!!!!! 🧘♂️🧚♂️🤍
I started my SR journey at the same time as the onset of a cold. Having no option but to rest and recover anyway has made Stage 1 super-easy to get through.
First 3 phases are on point for sure, but for me any streak past roughly 30 days just keeps getting harder and harder with every single day. Most I've made it to was 55 and I felt mentally insane at that point.
Did you try meditating, reading, journaling, working out, setting out for some new adventure? The amount of energy you feel needs to be channeled somewhere. If you do nothing with it it will definitely destroy you mentally.
its not for everyone ..yesterday after 15 days of nofapnoporn a young woman with a very tight dress was going her way in front of me and i got a erec.. with 40 y ..on well travelled street. And im not happy about it. Still, i will push to 30 days. Huberman Lembke podcast is highly recommended Addction/Dopamin
Thanks man, this is very interesting, makes me feel good most of the time and since I started this I was able to make big financial decisions and having financial break through, I am able to handle tough responsibilities with ease. But I still drink and smoke, I'm working on it but I think it's better than a relapse. I've also noticed that it's easy to relapse when I've had alcohol
Guys I have completed 180days SR. Tip: Do not count days, just dont think about sr at all. Go on about your life as normal. Not worth worrying about it. Just do it but dont think about what day you are on trust me
The genius of it is simply in the fact that it brings all attention to an inner state. Something which has no physical evidence (because there’s no longer a nut to clean off a girl’s back or your stomach or a towel) something that only you can feel at first, no one else will even know what you’re doing unless you talk about it. Something that makes little sense without experiencing it firsthand. This is a picture of “faith in oneself.” The biggest thing about it is acknowledging that energy, and not form, is of prime importance and that your own mental focus steers the energy in all its movement.
Most I've gone was 29 days. Felt unstoppable but unfortunately I let my pride win and I broke my streak with a very attractive woman that I normally couldnt attract in my older low vibrational self. This was necessary to show me that pride is a destroyer of great men and you will be tempted but you have to remain focused on the path and press forward.
Great video man. Touched on a lot of great points, especially that 14 day one. Thank you! And good luck to all those out there on the same journey - the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret…
You know what really pisses me off? That i have NEVER. Not ONCE made it to 90 days or even close to it in my adult life. I dont even know what thats like?? Life is good and i have many blessings every day but i wonder, "what could be" if i can just control this one aspect of my life that has always loomed over me. I've had a few 7-14 day streaks and the focus is incredible. The drive, the patience and ability to learn is crazy. Those that arent addicted dont understand the contrast. I really need this in my life. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the breakdown, I'm committed to this journey! Going for over a week strong right now, I'm going to fight the urges, I know they're going to test me soon.
Ive been on this journey for a while now, About 5 years in to the knowing of the subject, Its probably my 4th or 5th 5 month streak and im going to be honest, Youre exagerating a bit. If theres someone thats retaining an doesnt feel like Koen dont worry! just keep going, it doesnt have to be exactly like this, but it surely will make a differente in your life
I agree I'm doing research I believe it can heal us . I believe purity heals the psyhysical aka light heals just like plants that need light . As above so below 🤔 . What's in is out...
On day 13, I randomly felt my face get warm like it was expelling excess heat but just though the face, my body temperature felt normal, no sweat. It was weird and felt a bit buzzy too, could be that excess energy building up, definitely feeling more confident and masculine in general.
I wish my recovery mode was around 4 days. My battery was completely flat. After 34 days I'd say I'm on around a 3% charge. It's still progress. Very slow but is appearing to be improving my energy very slowly.
In my experience, the sensation of intense sex drive is too much to handle which is why most men just ejaculate to get it out of the way. If you’re able to hold onto that energy and just deal with it, it can be very powerful
I love it. I see this as a spiritual practice to become the best you you can be and be one with God and his love for you. Now set some goals and desires and let's go! Our deepest desires from heart are desires that God planted in our hearts. God FIRST.

Awesome video, you're a great addition to the "Semen Retention" community. Looks like you're still trying to find your niche on RUclips, but I hope you try to focus on the SR angle. The younger generation of men are in bad shape because of p*rn, so we need as many men as possible spreading the benefits of SR.
I see, thank you for the kind words 🙏
Day 78 today. I’ve watched this video 5 or 6 times each while getting closer to the next phase. My life is drastically different. Almost any goal feels possible. Finding myself in places I never thought I’d be.
Wars have been fought over sex. People have been killed over sex. Harness this energy gentlemen. It will serve you when you transmute & redirect it. You have my word.
I've started my semen retention journey 3 weeks ago n I feel really good n there are alot of strange happenings that occur on a day to day basis. But the focus n the connection to God is a plus, n with saying that manifesting has begun to become more recognizable.
Great to hear!
Day 120 here. Have faith in the phases. You will experience new kinds of energy and motivation. Meditation, morning walks, and a healthy diet will amplify the effect.
This should be taught in schools. Fantastic work
Great video very accurate from what iv experienced. I had a 7 month streak before and it absolutely changed my life. Currently at 2 months 👍🏽✌🏽
💪🏻
I can’t begin to thank you enough this has truly changed my life
Really appreciate this video ive been doing this SR journey since november 2022, my longest streak was 103, 27, 20, 13, 6, what got to me is the remeberance of how good it feels when you release but aftermath hit me like a train, i will forever stay on this journey, to fix my CNS, get my life together and hopefully joining the french foreign legion or re-enlisting into the U.S military, last but not least attract my soul mate, i got a thing for indian and south asian women 😎, plus to become magnetic
I love South Asian❤️👍
@pitoshohe61 south Asian are very feminine
@@claros161 they are beautiful in and out, so calm and gentle most of them.
@@pitoshohe61 As a indian i would say your perception is just delusional.
very well said, was surprised at how accurate this was as this reflected my own experience 1:1. Glad to see others are also experiencing the benefits and remember, if you relapse it’s not all gone. Pick yourself back up and continue
Thank you brother 🙏
I started about 3 weeks ago (wish I got the actual date) and I’ve noticed a lot. For all of my life I’ve been fat and pretty unattractive but I’d been working out for about 2 years. My lifts have gone way up. My body fat is way down. My hair looks way better along with my skin. My voice is a lot more deeper and my accent has started to come back out ( I have a slight southern drawl). My face looks more defined but that might be the body fat dropping. Ive also started noticing women checking me out and even hitting on me which has never happened to me before. I also feel a lot closer to god. I feel free
Glad for you brother, i´ve been approached by the hottest girl in my gym asking me if i could help her with an exercise, i dont know if it is related or just a coincidence, im almost on 1 month of nofap, i did 1 month a year before and left it because i didnt felt anything at all, im going to do three months to see if anything changes
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Hey my boys this stuff is working I got a girls number yesterday and we been texting non stop
I can relate to the pride warning thing. I got into a bit of hot water in a professional setting for being too direct. Thank you for sharing this as I just thought I was a weirdo and didn’t realise it was cos of nofap
84 days in and I feel amazing 💪🏽. I’m never going back.
Update?
he went back@@Dantheguitarman3
TESLA KNEW THIS AND USED IT ALL HIS LIFE ❤
The best explanation I’ve seen on youtube 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video Koen!
I myself have been addicted to porn for 14 years and i am now 26 years old. Today marks my 7 day streak on semen retention and i cant remember when i last went that long without releasing semen or watching porn. Something that has made this week fairly easy for me and already noticing some of the later benefits is that i have started replacing my bad habits with better habits such as taking a 10-20 minute walk first thing when waking up, start meditating and doing alot of research on spirituality, gaining interest and wanting to pursue that more. Removing all the triggers i could think of. Spending more time with friends & family. A new goal that i started on which is getting a motorcycle license. Also doing alot of research on semen retention and realizing how bad porn is and how good the benefits of semen retention are!
Stay strong brothers!
A few days after the 40th day for me, I had a relapsed. I felt shame for it because it had been years since I ever went longer than a month. By those last days the urge was high and difficult, not easy to ignore because I felt my whole body was aware and sensitive, it almost hurt. That said, I felt more confident and alive, not sluggish and demotivated. So, its a "detoxing" process from this lusting desire in my brain.
I think people are way too hard on themselves in this process, look at it like “I made 40 days that’s a lot” instead of “I failed after all this time”
@@benleister384I also like to think of it like "I had one O in 40 days...so say 3 days later, you can say, I had one in 43 days...it's cumulative. Not truly "starting all over" as if you were fapping every day or something. That's counterproductive to be that hard on yourself.
thank you for this! i will not fail myself this time around. i will not fail myself this time around.
Happy to hear you liked it brother 🤛
i hate the period after when the body diverts all the resources to replenishing what you just blew out on a tissue... literally makes me feel ill all tired and weak and that's the main reason i don't be doing it often.. i've done 150 days before and then it was all gone in 30 seconds 😅 might try and do it again
Stand up dust yourself. Forgive yourself. Chant forward.
you prob have low t or something lol
Whenever I feel tempted I see these videos
Thank you very much sir
I managed to get to a certain level in my life where I couldn't get ahead without fixing this issue. I really feel deep inside my body that this solution is going to change everything.
Wonderful! Thank you
Quitting caffeine is another one that should be added to self mastery.
yes
Good thing I don’t drink coffee .. I don’t have this problem
Would that include dark chocolate and Kombucha then?
@@SuperThisishowwedoI don't eat sugar since 5 years and I feel great 👍
caffeine blocks absorption of minerals
Amazing video bro🔥🔥🔥 the clarity after 3 months is superior. Especially when you combine it with fasting and eating right it just enhances everything
100% 🤛
nothing special about 3 months...
Only 9 days, I feel the same and haven’t had any urges yet but still going
Don’t worry, you’re doing good
@@joev7014 ok
I've gone for as long as 74 days semen retention. Everything was great young and old people were nice to me. Some haters here and there but i kept on going strong 🤞.
I am a 24 year old man currently on day 16. I have been working out a lot lately and I’m a chef and I got so much energy even after my shifts. Been going to work earlier and I am making intention to read more It feels absolutely great and I am going to advice my friends to go on this journey too.
great sutff man, day 20 going strong 💪💪
Channeling the energy through meditation and transmutation through yoga has made it possible to handle that kind of power.
Spiritual transcendental experience is absolutely spot on, even if that was not the intent.
Yoga is communication for demons or fallen angels
Can't thank you enough for this video Koen, remain blessed. Gotta say, I could feel the vibe on you as you spoke and it was f**king inspirational.
Thank you brother 🙏 truly appreciate it
Fantastic video, pride is the biggest test.
thank you 🙏
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!!!
Happy it helped 🙏
I’m on day 5. Thank you for this brother
One thing for sure this guy has the most beautiful healthy looking skin. So all he says must be true to look that healthy!💯💯
This is exactly what eastern culture saint and yogi have been following for centuries for enlightment . This is called " Brahmachary" in Hindu words or celebacy pracitces. Now western people are gradually realizing the importance of semen retention or celebacy . Thanks for your valuable information .
Everything you mentioned is absolutely relatable
Just looking at you i can instantly see the glow in your face and hair
I am starting my semen retention on the 8th September 2023- 8th of december. See you guys in 90 days when i come back to this video.
1 of the best videos i ever seen about semen rétention, big hello from France brother ✌️
I appreciate that! much love brother 🙏
I agree
@KoenBlom do ur testicals get sore after 20 days and agression
Great job keeping me interested from the beginning to end💪💪
Hi. I really like your videos. Your content is different compared to the casual semen retention videos. You have earned a subscriber.
I like what you said that most men get stuck in the recovery phase and never tap into energy. What I don't like are the comments what day they are on and thinking SR needs to be indefinite. It is not about going 30 or 300 days; I feel it is about discipline to limit ejaculations. For me as a 50 year old, once per month is ideal. The problem is that many of us have that "all or none" mind so it is hard to find balance.
totally agree, yet some of us need to find this out through going with the all or nothing mindset. Happy to hear you found your groove in this 🙏
The thing is: most people are addicted. Its not safe to do it one time per month out of the blue. You have to let the addiction fade a way first which can take some years for some people.
It's a cycle, like a winding spiral on and on it goes, similar themes and seasons but expressed and experienced with a fresh and beautiful novelty each time... Like a flower blooming, you know it's just petals opening up, but each petal opens up in a way that is similar to the other petals yet unique in its own way and contributes to the beauty of the flower
beautifully said Allan 🙏
I will be at 1400 days no fap on 10/5/23. I haven't turned into a chick magnet but I have been focused on working and making money and preparing for economic and societal collapse. Working 60 hours a week.
Good to see other people in the Netherlands are also doing this, I didn't know this was also a thing here.
🙏
Great video, Koen!! Having been on this path for a long time after decades of sex addiction I can confirm whatever you've said.
Even now, at sixty, the 'urges' do arise, & I've heard that they do well into old age. One has to accept this fact as it is indeed the basic instinct.
Transmutation has been key, rather than suppression, which only leads to other problems. All kinds of work/creativity, being mindful about not getting bogged down in workaholism, does help. Exercise helps too.....particularly dancing, which I do regularly at the techno/psytrance parties down here in Goa, India. 🕺💃
Grounding helps release the 'excess electrical charge' & harmonize one's energies with the Earth's electromagnetic field, & I sometimes do that with a barefoot walk along the wet sands on the beach. Yogasanas/pranayama are of great help as well, building up a good base for meditation, which helps the most.....cultivating a meditative state rather, just resting in Awareness - our essential unchanging nature, equanimously observing the changing phenomena at the physical/mental levels, without getting entangled in them, thus allowing all of the stuff arising from the deeper recesses of the mind to pass away, which it does sooner or later, rather than reacting to it, which only leads to its 'multiplying', as the Buddha put it, call it vipassana or whatever.
And, wowwwww.....there's so much more energy, vitality, joy, serenity, freedom......!!!!!! 🧘♂️🧚♂️🤍
Thank you sharing this! 🙏 much love!
@@KoenBlom Welcome Koen. Keep up the good work! 🤍
I started my SR journey at the same time as the onset of a cold. Having no option but to rest and recover anyway has made Stage 1 super-easy to get through.
Subscribed, youre awsome at explaining all this
Appreciate it 🙏
First 3 phases are on point for sure, but for me any streak past roughly 30 days just keeps getting harder and harder with every single day.
Most I've made it to was 55 and I felt mentally insane at that point.
Did you try meditating, reading, journaling, working out, setting out for some new adventure? The amount of energy you feel needs to be channeled somewhere. If you do nothing with it it will definitely destroy you mentally.
its not for everyone ..yesterday after 15 days of nofapnoporn a young woman with a very tight dress was going her way in front of me and i got a erec.. with 40 y ..on well travelled street. And im not happy about it. Still, i will push to 30 days. Huberman Lembke podcast is highly recommended Addction/Dopamin
my spiritual awaken, now SR,fine tuning my soul, no more alcohol, letting go of ego,,,,better off now being alone
Thanks man, this is very interesting, makes me feel good most of the time and since I started this I was able to make big financial decisions and having financial break through, I am able to handle tough responsibilities with ease. But I still drink and smoke, I'm working on it but I think it's better than a relapse. I've also noticed that it's easy to relapse when I've had alcohol
Yes, alcohol lowers your state and makes you more lust full. You’re welcome 🙏
Excellent vid, God bless you and help you on your journey
Guys I have completed 180days SR. Tip: Do not count days, just dont think about sr at all. Go on about your life as normal. Not worth worrying about it. Just do it but dont think about what day you are on trust me
Most people don't get on this point enough
I think of it as everyday my vibrations/power expands more and more.
July 2020 nofap and zero ejaculation for me. The life preserved in me now co operates me.
The genius of it is simply in the fact that it brings all attention to an inner state. Something which has no physical evidence (because there’s no longer a nut to clean off a girl’s back or your stomach or a towel) something that only you can feel at first, no one else will even know what you’re doing unless you talk about it. Something that makes little sense without experiencing it firsthand. This is a picture of “faith in oneself.” The biggest thing about it is acknowledging that energy, and not form, is of prime importance and that your own mental focus steers the energy in all its movement.
Most I've gone was 29 days. Felt unstoppable but unfortunately I let my pride win and I broke my streak with a very attractive woman that I normally couldnt attract in my older low vibrational self. This was necessary to show me that pride is a destroyer of great men and you will be tempted but you have to remain focused on the path and press forward.
Great video man. Touched on a lot of great points, especially that 14 day one. Thank you! And good luck to all those out there on the same journey - the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret…
I hit day 90 and celebrated by going back into recovery :(
@johnnyrebellion8672all those symptoms are the result of PMO (porn,masturbation,orgasm).
Vitality will increase with abstinence, so don't worry.
@johnnyrebellion8672 does it make it smaller if your retain?
You know what really pisses me off? That i have NEVER. Not ONCE made it to 90 days or even close to it in my adult life. I dont even know what thats like?? Life is good and i have many blessings every day but i wonder, "what could be" if i can just control this one aspect of my life that has always loomed over me. I've had a few 7-14 day streaks and the focus is incredible. The drive, the patience and ability to learn is crazy.
Those that arent addicted dont understand the contrast. I really need this in my life. Thank you for the video.
Very deep bro- I'm nearly 6 years hard mode.
It takes around 75-90 days for your seed to fully mature.
I heard 30
Thanks for the breakdown, I'm committed to this journey! Going for over a week strong right now, I'm going to fight the urges, I know they're going to test me soon.
Thank you. I'm on year 3 now.
This just got me past day 32. Thank you.
Blessing to hear that! 🙏
Great video Brother!! Subbed! Almost 2 weeks in, lets gooooo.
💪
Awesome video bro💪 keep up the good work
thank you!
Ive been on this journey for a while now, About 5 years in to the knowing of the subject, Its probably my 4th or 5th 5 month streak and im going to be honest, Youre exagerating a bit. If theres someone thats retaining an doesnt feel like Koen dont worry! just keep going, it doesnt have to be exactly like this, but it surely will make a differente in your life
Thank you for reminding me to stay humble and to remain human through this process.🤘
This was great, I am in a state of change and have been looking for the next phase but have failed with this regularly.
I think SR actually opens the Third Eye, aka the pineal gland, which increases intuition and psychic ability, leading to a spiritual awakening.
Yes and lots of agression
I agree I'm doing research I believe it can heal us . I believe purity heals the psyhysical aka light heals just like plants that need light . As above so below 🤔 . What's in is out...
Thanks for this video man. I just had trouble today to find hope but I have something to look forward to.
happy to hear that!
On day 13, I randomly felt my face get warm like it was expelling excess heat but just though the face, my body temperature felt normal, no sweat. It was weird and felt a bit buzzy too, could be that excess energy building up, definitely feeling more confident and masculine in general.
Have you relapsed
@@Kj-wq7cb No, and I don't plan to anytime soon.
I wish my recovery mode was around 4 days. My battery was completely flat. After 34 days I'd say I'm on around a 3% charge. It's still progress. Very slow but is appearing to be improving my energy very slowly.
My guy broke this down to a t....good job man seriously
Brilliant video, day 31, i hope i will go at least a year, i'm excited about life now.
loved the video bro , definitely gonna start watching your videos
Truly appreciate brother 🙏
Excellent video! Just earned a sub. Greetings from Iceland :)
appreciate it brother!
In my experience, the sensation of intense sex drive is too much to handle which is why most men just ejaculate to get it out of the way. If you’re able to hold onto that energy and just deal with it, it can be very powerful
Posible the best retention video that exists. Need to get to that 90 day.
You explained it very well!
Thank you very much for this video! God bless!
I love it. I see this as a spiritual practice to become the best you you can be and be one with God and his love for you. Now set some goals and desires and let's go! Our deepest desires from heart are desires that God planted in our hearts. God FIRST.
100% 🙏
