    Guys I believe there is some difference between Nofap Hard Mode and complete Semen Retention. Well first of all, what is the third level of difficulty in nofap? It's hard mode ie. completely abstaining from PMO. And that means you won't release your semen through physical expression. But even then there is one type of release remains and that is ejaculation through wet dreams. Well from my personal experience, at the very beginning I wanted to complete the challenge of not doing PMO for 21 days( that was a huge deal for me back then ). But as I crossed 60 days and days kept going by without me doing PMO, I gained more confidence and realised that abstaining from PMO is now not a very big deal after all. And my focus shifted from just nofap to semen retention but I wasen't very sure about it because I thought that wet dream is inevitable for every person doing PMO. But really, is it???
    Well i had my first wetdream on my day 77 and 79( back to back) and that is when I realised the value of semen. It's not that I felt completely shit after that. I could feel that I still had my essence inside me and I had not lost the real energy. I was still in a good condition but the now the changes were clear.
    And damn guys the time when I was retaining semen, during my third month, my testosterone, confidence, self esteem, positivity, drive, and the natural and effortless power to not give a fuck to unnecessary negative things went high. It was something that I had never felt before. I always saw one of my friend act in a very Alpha chilled out way because he had that personality. I could never figure out how he was such calm, cool, masculine dude with a controlled aggression until I discovered nofap. I tried to behave like him a few times but let's be real guys, when u try to act in a certain way or copy someone which u r really not, people can easily detect that in u. And after sometime I also accepted that maybe I'm not that strong, cool, manly guy. But this time it came to me naturally without putting any effort. Things which used to make me feel agitated, stressed, angry, scared, had no effect on me at this moment.
    I mean what are Nofap Superpowers? Nofap Superpowers does not means flying or walking on water or bending metal. That's fucking stupid. They mean actual confidence, increased self esteem, higher testosterone, masculinity, high energy, drive, creativity, positivity and a lot more. I was experiencing every one these benefits and they were slowly increasing as days were passing by. And I'm the guy who was in deep depression before starting nofap with a miserable condition. After my wetdream the benefits are still there because I have not done PMO until now but they have reduced in intensity. I mean I still feel manly but not as much as i used to feel before the wetdream. And these days Im feeling low mentally. The anxiety and overthinking has come back. Sexual urges and relapse are no more my problems because I have complete self control now.
    Now my aim is to go long period of time without ejaculating at all. Maybe the flatline in nofap is because of loss of semen through wet dreams, not sure just saying. Because every person that I read about and saw video of who was doing nofap had multiple wet dreams during their journey. And maybe that's the reason of the low energy, depression, flatline phase during nofap. To avoid wet dreams I now wake up at 5 am, and soon will start walking up at 4. Wetdrems typically happens in the fourth quarter of the night. Have my dinner early and light, taking some ayurvedic supplements that suppose to cure wet dreams, not watch any screen after like 7 pm. I'll post another follow up post to this and talk about changes when I will regain my semen hopefully in another 30 to 60 days.

  2. As a nurse, I'd be fascinated to know if you find anything that actually prevents ejaculation, in any form.

    Sure, look complete semen retention is possible but only through brahmacharya. Brahmacharya is not just being celibate but a complete lifestyle which means take care of all areas like diet, sleep, exercise,mental. At first I was not sincere about semen retention but after my first wetdream I felt bad and therefore started reading about it. What I read is exactly the mistake I was making ie. Waking up late in the morning and a few other unhealthy habits. It said that wet dreams happens typically in the fourth quarter of the night so if a person wakes up 4 in the morning the chances of wetdreams are greatly reduced. But in today's world it is not possible for everybody to wake up so early. But I say at least 5 or 6 should be the time to wake to avoid the risk.
    But anyways, I have started waking up early cuz both times my wet dreams happened between 7:30 -8:00 in morning. And this journey is based on experiment and observation so only time will tell. I'll be glad to share my experience with u after a few months of retaining.

    Honestly Ive never thought that semen retention may be the main reason of most of benefits caused by NoPmo.
    Surely fixing up dopamine levels in brain is something big, and it can lead to great progress in life.
    But I had similiar experience with ejaculation without porn. One night during my previous no pmo streak (around day 30) I felt strong urge and decided to lead myself to the orgasm, but without looking at anything or visualising.
    It was probably the most intense ejaculation that I ever had. Loads of stuff came out.
    And the next day I felt different than after 'normal' relapse with porn included. I didnt have those images stuck inside my head. But I felt like someone just drained half of my blood from me. I had completely 0 motivation and energy and just wanted for the day to end. Also I felt strongly insecure and anxious, like some crazy illness just got me the night before.
    Now im on my no PMO streak and last wet dream I had was like 20-30 days ago, I dont know exactly.
    But the thing is that NOW i feel like im really starting to live my life. Im in peace with myself and Im getting better and better in EVERY single way, everyday.
    Nofap is my best decision in life so far.

    No PMO also give benefits for sure because of the rebooting process in brain but completely retaining semen is the next level of that. Earlier I just knew it theoretically, but now I have experienced it.

    I've never gone this long in my life without losing semen.

    Correction, I did for 13 years before I discovered masturbation. These were coincidentally the best years of my life. Now my life is going full circle.

    I also had a lucid dream last night but it was a good one though. This morning I felt sorry for waking up from waking up from my dream, lol. It was quite enjoyable. I know I am a lonely old person, age 29 years old. Never been much of a social person or dating that kind of stuff. Just because it comes from my anxiety levels. lol.

    Dude, I'm very interested to hear your results. Please keep us posted. I have a wet dream every week if not more frequently. I feel drained to say the least. Thanks in advance.

    I'm at 178 days semen retention with no wet dreams. A couple sexual dreams but none that resulted in emission.

    However, I think I'm in a flatline right now. I've been tired, feeling anxiety and just not as calm or connected. Even my feelings when meeting someone's gaze have been almost fearful like it used to be.

    Not trying to be negative. Maybe the zero wet dreams is due to my age. My libido is way up there. I enjoy the pressure and feeling of fire in my belly. But mentally this is kicking my butt right now.

    I'm trying to convince myself semen retention has no actual benefits. That it's just a catalyst for change. It's removing an easy dopamine source and creating more discipline that holds the magic. I honestly don't know.

    I promised myself 365 days to find out. Now I'm part of Thanos 500 Day Challenge on here so no backing down now.

    I had 2 wet dreams last night. And I dont feel any loss of energy or anything, I feel just weird because of the crazy sex imagery on my head coming from the unconcious mind.
    Its weird, but I think that it is pretty natural. In my opinion dont think that repressing those are a good idea, man.

    Wet dreams are pretty regular to me. I keep track of those and noticed some patterns: At first I was having wet dreams weekly, one per week minimum. And then the cycle expanded and now I can go 2 weeks or more without having any wet dreams. I guess the cycle can expand even more in time.

    Other thing is that the ejaculation from a wet dream is phisically different, is not the same thing as cuming from sex or MO. I am sure of that.
    So, its all very natural and thats Ok to me. Mother nature is taking care of the situation, we should really help her and thats all, not repress her

    maybe you don't know the full meaning of semen retention, doing semen retention doesn't restrict you you from having sex, but instead you just don't ejaculate, so the moment you feel tired,anxiety & not calmly connected it means you need to circulate more energy either through deep breath meditation, exercises,swimming or having sex, not a rough performance sex but a love pleasure sex, you will find your self with more energy and more engaging in to day matters. so work on circulating that energy in order to feel flexible.

    I think you're right. It's been 204 days as of today. I do exercise daily as well as meditate a minimum of 30 minutes a day. That definitely helps.

    I've been thinking of making an appointment with someone experienced with acupuncture as they should have training in energy meridians. As well as maybe find some classes in Qi Qong (I'm sure I just butchered that spelling.)

    I would love to find someone my age to have slow sex with. Most of the women I'm around are half my age and being their boss makes them not good candidates. Though they definitely keep my blood flowing. They can flirt pretty hard.

    Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it.
