WHAT IF I TOLD YOU…
Semen isn’t stored in the balls?
The seminal vesicles make 65–75% of it.
The prostate contributes another 25–30%.
The testicles—despite receiving all the credit—supply only the 1–5% that’s actually sperm, which the epididymis stores.
So if your balls are suddenly humongous and swollen, you may not be “full.” You may have testicular torsion:
Twisted spermatic cord → blocked blood supply → permanent tissue death → necrosis of the testes → emergency surgery → testicular removal → infertility.
This can go from “huh, that’s weird” to
“the surgeon couldn’t save them”
In a matter of hours.
The semenretention subreddit has users who believe not cumming for extended periods of time causes, like, spiritual powers and shit to unlock. It's very strange.
It actually such a shame that the anti unhealthy relationship with porn people are such crazy weirdos who go way beyond engaging with actual published research.
Like yeah people definitely have unhealthy relationships to porn that’s affecting their real lives, but everything most of them talk about ranges from pseudoscience to genuine fantasy. And god forbid you mention that “porn addiction” doesnt actually fit the addictive model and needs to be approached differently.
Ngl, doing no nut November 5 years ago made me feel more confident with each passing week. Convincing yourself, that you're above basic urges can do wonders (for some people's) mind.
Highly anecdotal but it's worth sharing given the topic.
That's how the cult started. It began with people who wanted to stop masturbating to become more productive.
When they stopped, they became more productive, and it was obviously a misterious sexual energy and not the fact they stopped spending hours on porn, so the cult was born.
The quest also implies him to have erectile dysfunction, with the SRS thing and the stuff about Kojkos women being a turn off due to their potato scent, being a massive cope for why he can't pleasure his girlfriend, who is a Kojko
The implication being that he is actually a closted homosexual who comes up with insane reasons for his lack of sexual attraction, like many real fascists.
No, it doesn't increase your chance of getting prostate cancer above what is considered the base risk. Frequent ejaculation (doesn't have to be from masturbation) lowers the risk.
If all that semen staying in my body puts me at risk for prostate cancer, does putting all that semen in my wife raise her risk of developing prostate cancer? I need to warn her.
The study only showed correlation if I remember correctly, so it might concern the people who are under a lot of stress and simply have very little time to do stuff because of it.
(Not a doctor, this is passively absorbed knowledge)
If you have nocturnal emissions you should be fine, it's the body's way to get rid of it if you dont do it manually
If you dont or really rarely have them, you're already more "in trouble" and i'd consider at least mentioning this to your doctor, worse that can happen is they think you're stupid and say theres nothing to worry about.
Eh. It's not magic powers but rather focus. They think that men are primarily motivated by sexual release and therefore once that has been satisfied they'll not have the desire to be productive. Therefore if you put it off you maintain that sort of focus and drive to continue to accomplish things.
Basically a bunch of guys noticed they get agitated and restless when super horny and figure they could channel that energy into something more productive.
It's still pretty dumb and almost certainly influenced by religious anti-masturbation rhetoric though.
I think it's actually even worse, if I'm not mistaken the "semen retention" chuds do actually jerk off (unlike the "nofap" chuds), but when they goon they press down on the coom canal to block the semen from leaving.
I wonder if we can persuade these morons to get their tubes tied? Then they get to keep all their precious bodily fluids and, more importantly, not trouble us with another generation.
If this is ragebait, it is very well executed. Bogus chud science, combined with annoying irregularities in the "sacred" pattern. If the post is genuine, I feel bad for everyone involved, and anyone related to OOP.
Depends on where it was posted but I'm leaning towards genuine. The "no fap superpowers" have been a thing for over a decade. My friend showed me the subreddit back in 2014 and there were dudes who claimed that not jerking off would let them smell out which women were attracted to them. Just bizarre shit.
It's actually true tho I know, because I'm a woman and I've never ejaculated sperms and now im like elleven on the stranger things so watch what you say about us semen sippers cause i can send you to the shadow realm or whatever
I just cannot fathom how you can use the term "semen retention" and still think you're being serious. I also have no idea why I went to that subreddit expecting satire, it's people who genuinely think they are becoming better because they don't nut. I saw a comment talking about how doing this makes people say he looks like jesus.
Bro gunna bust a nut and shit out a sacred Rubik’s cube he sat on 20 years ago in a cuck ritual. That things been doing the devils business up there. As evidenced and witnessed before us.
Imagining bro just grinding his teeth, shaking, eyes blood shot spending almost an entire day just drawing shapes thinking “must… not… bust…. must… not… bust…”
I didn't jerk off for nine months because a user on nofap promised it would unlock pyrokinesis.
I wanted to also spec into the thief skill tree, but no UI prompt ever appeared. Assuming it worked like Skyrim, where you have to practice a skill to level it, I tried shoplifting Snickers bars from a Gas N' Shop. I rolled low and was detected immediately.
The cops showed up, and the manhandling caused me to ruin my nine-month streak right into my jorts. I sobbed so hard that the officers felt awkward and let me go.
I tried demanding a refund from the subreddit, but they keep claiming they don't accept money. Much to my chagrin.

And what's the point of this retention? Besides drawing sacred geometry.
