    In a sense, you are right. That's basically how the law of attraction works. I developed a deformity outta nowhere and was ridiculed in the past. I wanted to be seen as attractive and adored by people; and that's what happening now. I should become a model, I swear. I thought about it all the time.

    And fearing porn will cause a relapse. Just accept it exists and that some people indulge in it, but not you. I came into this thing with Semen Retention. This ideology dominated the first quarter of this year, yet I still got all the Nofap benefits. I think it fits perfectly in the no MO part of NoPMO.

    Again, your insight is remarkable. You must have tried SR at one point? I also feared wet dreams at some point.

    I remember, everytime I took a crap (sorry for being so graphic), I would secrete.....prostate fluid? (It wasn't as slick as O) I would Google, "semen while pooping ", only to reassure myself I didn't impede myself. I would blindly agree with the Reddit posts. I would also sleep in uncomfortable positions that is claimed to stop WDs. Every morning, I checked my boxers to see if I WDed. It was IMO, causing more mental stress then PMO is said to do. My point is, the ideal of SR is a little too extreme(especially for newbies), whereas Nofap incorporates it into a single concentrated goal.

  2. Pardon my crude language. Sometimes though, I feel like some people want to argue instead of simple give advice.

    I am totally not against it. SR was my "original" Nofap. We don't want to alienate you or make you feel marginalized. We're all on the same page, so to speak.

    Practicing SR, I saw wonderful changes in my appearance alone. These aren't placebos either because honestly, I wasn't expecting any of it. I noticed prominant limbal rings, clearer skin, bullish strength, more libido, concidence...and you won't believe this; but it was like I could "will" peoples' actions and merit them. I could totally predict anything you could do, and the outcome, like I could control events. Either that or my IQ doubled. My deductive reasoning was massively improved.

    I think of it as the "prototype" of Nofap(in my personal opinion), even though it's supposedly been around for antiquity. I hear they were practicing it during the end-triassic period. I was amazed to see a thread about this while browsing the thread page. It felt refreshing.

  4. Yeah. I feel like I think quicker, I am inside my head less, and people approach me to make conversation. I can socialize better, but people actually approach me more. I also am more aware of subtle things in conversations, subtle details in the space around me, and I get better word choice. I also get better concentation.

    I cant do semen retention. The most i try i cant. I tried meditating before bed, begging not to have a wet dream, I still have boners ALL NIGHT long, I sleep in confortable positions. Ok i did go 3 weeks and a half without a wet dream (First 3 weeks of my reboot) I wasnt fantisizing at all. I did end up having a wet dream no matter what. If you say we have wet dreams because either it is because of PMO and the muscle down there are weak or fantisizing. Well it cant be, People who dont masturbate have wet dreams. Some people who masturbate dont have wet dreams. Why cant we just know the truth about these kind of stuff?
    And i cant just say those benefits arent just no PMO benefits?

    Yasss, that brain fog is clearing. You stop overthinking. Girls stare at you too, I bet. The assertiveness is also much appreciated. But, as Matrix Intel pointed out, fearing WDs and relapses will only attract them. A succubus may visit your dreams, but pray to keep it away. It sexed me good. Also, porn experiences from years back you don't consciously remember will also resurface in your dreams.

    I heard a theory that if you're not PMO'ing or not having sex, your body does that to release excess semen....But the "reabsorbtion theory" though.... After a while, they stopped for some reason. Some dreams where still sexual, but no wet dream. At that pount, my prostate felt less "congested".

    Ok. I don't blame you on that one. Hard to believe something like SR and Nofap has that effect on people. Something typically only "broscience" can explain. I think there is some "official" research by learned professional, but the subject is so...taboo (I guess)?

    I get wet dreams every 2 weeks. Id be happy to end them tho, i hate wet dreams! People say that if you dont have wet dreams your semen gets leaked through peeing. is this true?
    i never said what is bolded.

    Lol. I know (about the bolded part). I just like to have fun....*give me a minute*...No, but seriously, I'm literally laughing out loud. You're the first person to point that out(and I do it to a lot of people), that's why its so hilarious.

    But, the semen leakage through peeing never happened to me; only when pooping (prostate fluid I heard). I think the wet dreams will go away in time, because mine did. Either that, or it takes longer intervals. Don't sweat it though. You probably think it interferes with your progress; or it's just uncomfortable for you. I normally sleep on my stomach, so whenever I had one, I assumed I was either humping or grinding on my bed. I don't think there's anything you can do to actively stop them. You can pray. That may help.

    Maybe, your body and mind needs time to adjust. It's probably so used to PMO, it's taking advantage of your sleep (somewhat unguarded consciousness)(unless you pray). A theory 'mind you.

  11. I think the correct term is that the cells break down and are absorbed into the body. Sperm is made of certain elements and amino acids, when it breaks apart it's just less complex chemistry that is redistribute and repurposed.

    I think it's real, and why when guys jack off and keep jacking off, they start losing their hair. Then when they do nofap and retain that semen for a good length of time, they start to re-grow their hair. Jacking off is so not good for guys. I'm all about that semen retention now.

    I forgot about this. It's what enticed me too. I think it also mentioned neuro chemicals or something. have to look it back up. But, at first it made me too obsessive about semen loss.
    But i'm back baby.

    We probably need to institute a new "system" or something.

    Let's say if you relapse, day 60 or so, you saw P, but no M or O, it probably wouldn't affect you much as because at least then you start SR...essentially. I wouldn't even say it's a relapse.

    I'm also interested in SR. It's hard to find valuable information on the topic. Not sure about the reabsorption part, but it definately makes sense to me that at least when the sack is full the nutrients used to build sperm (and they are valuable) will be used to do something else. I heard the fats in the sperm are also found in the membranes of cells. And perhaps the body needs a lot of energy to build sperm, so when your body doesn't need to, you have more energy to use for something else. These are my theories. Fun fact: it takes 74 days to build sperm.

    I haven't had an O/ ejaculation in maybe 40 days now or so. Sometimes I can see a drop of a thick substance in my urine but very rarely.
    About the wet dreams: I believe it's our subconscious minds. I would get wet dreams when I fantasize before falling asleep.
    My reboot is so important to me, it happened to me that I would walk away in my dream when something sexual was about to happen, literally rejecting the woman of my dreams.
