No PMO War VI

This usually happens when you go 7+ days, and it is normal as due to the extra testosterone in your system. I usually figure out why I am mad in the first place, and I just breathe and walk away. If someone is able to control your emotions, then you are not a person of strength.

Good practice would be to train mindfulness on a day to day basis, throughout the day.

Focus on what's happening within You, what causes You to feel in any given moment.

If You'll be able calmly observe this, then You should have enough time to behave in any way You find the most fitting.

Thanks Brothers

I hear this a lot in this website - that a side effect of semen retention is that you become aggressive or short-tempered.
In my opinion that's just unscientific talk.
If that were true - that semen retention for 7+ days could lead to aggression, then by that logic, if a person retains semen for 30/60 days, then they should probably become like elephants in a musth-induced rage (Go read about the phenomenon of musth).

I have a different explanation - the aggression/short-tempered reaction after semen retention of a week is true, for some people.
And the real reason is that: They're following the willpower method which teaches you to actively resist porn urges.
This drains your mental energy, which is required for patience. So you are left with no patience for other activities.
.
.
Imagine you have a manager at work who keeps getting onto your nerves each day. Then by the time you get home, you're totally drained that if your wife reminds you about some problem at your house (say a light that needs fixing) - you're unnecessarily angry with her. It's not because she said something wrong - but because you have zero patience, having had to deal with your boss at work.
You will even say that to her - "Listen, I'm upto my neck dealing with my boss. Don't throw more problems at me now!"

Resisting Porn isn't your full-time job. You have to learn to live your life while keeping away from porn.
So stop following willpower method to escape from porn. It will eventually fail. Instead follow my system.

@Escape_From_Porn I disagree with You.

I think the reason for short tenper/aggression is not being used to having a higher reserves of energy in the body and not properly using this energy, so it has nothing to do with using willpower or not.

Actually the longer You stay on semen retention, the more calm, filled with inner peace You become.

I believe it's due to body coming in tune with the overall nature of life, and getting extremely calm shows as a sign, that it's the way to go 👍

@Chrisklb
I've already explained why that's an unscientific / illogical assessment.
NoFAP alone doesn't just send jolts of electricity into your body that you're suddenly the Energizer Bunny. That's not the reason for aggression. The simple reason is that - the person hasn't learned to regulate their stress. So they currently follow willpower method - which naturally leads to frustration and loss of patience.
.
.
And you don't just automatically become calm because you're on semen retention for long periods of time. It's the other way around - unless you learn to be calm (that is, have a system to regulate your stress), you cannot retain sperm. You will eventually snap (and relapse) or lash out at someone for no good reason.
.
.
However, I do agree with your prescription that this person should follow meditation - that's one way to handle the stress and maintain equipoise in all situations.
I offered him my system - which incorporates meditation as well.

@Escape_From_Porn no, there are reports of people who are practicing semen retention for long time and they clearly state, that they're unusually calm, while at the same time not practicing meditation.

So what You "said" don't apply, at least to not part of guys 🤷

@Chrisklb
I think I clearly stated that meditation is "one way" to handle stress and maintain equipoise. Didn't you read that? There are many other ways - such as exercise, disciplined lifestyle etc.
.
.
I vouch for the benefits of meditation but I don't get the time to perform it. Instead I perform other activities that calm me, by God's Grace. How do you think every marine handles the stress of combat and still maintain absolute calm even under the face of mortal danger?
Do they find the time to meditate every day? I don't think so.
Of course they have other methods to maintain calm.
.

Semen retention is not the reason for being calm or being aggressive.
Stress management is the actual reason.
And people who can handle stress, can retain semen.
People who can't, will eventually lose both their patience (succumbing to anger) and their semen (succumbing to a relapse).
