The Semen Retention Benefits are Fueled by Diet
...And if your diet is not on point then you won't experience much SR benefits.
The semen retention benefits are at its root, a product of an increase in fertility.
If you have recently ejaculated then your chances of impregnating a girl are many times unlikelier than if you had been retaining for several weeks.
Then this increase in fertility leads to an increase in dominance, deeper voice, glow, etc.
To produce semen/sperm to begin with you need to consume food.
Now I have viewed a lot of guys on youtube and such that talk about SR. The ones that have the deepest voices and biggest glow have a tendency to be the bigger guys. Naturally, they eat more food and therefore produce more semen, and therefore have more benefits.
It is not only the amount of food, but the nutritional profile of the food. The natural human diet is meat based, in particular a lot of saturated fat, which helps to produce the male hormones.
Furthermore, organ meat like liver is a superfood rich in iron, b vitamins, and most importantly vitamin A, which a deficiency in can lead to infertility.
Another factor to consider with regards to fertility is stress, inflammation, and poor sleep. If the immune system is chronically active then it will pause fertility. So you could be retaining semen, but the days are going by but you are not generating anything. These reasons to me explain the variance that guys experience on SR.
I look to my own experience as a justification for this. I have in recent times been undereating, had poor diet, poor sleep, etc. I was retaining and I experienced the benefits to a degree, but nowhere near the level that I had before. I literally had zero morning wood for about a month. Testosterone felt way down etc.
I also, noticed that when I released, my semen was watery - an indication of low sperm count.
On my current streak, I have upped my food intake way more, and I already feel that dominance return to me that I had before. Deeper voice, etc.
There is real potential to really unlock one's true abilities and stand out from the crowd, simply by eating more, to supercharge fertility, and experience to full power of SR.
