THE ART OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Greetings fellow retainers, I am writing this post to share the most important phenomenon which has helped me retain for over 2 years now (I stopped counting a while ago because that's how confident I am now). The title says it all. The art of not taking action is as simple as it sounds. I can't speak for everyone but personally I have always been lazy in many aspects of life and I think most of us are in one way or another.
There have been many times where my streak broke and soon, I started noticing the pattern. It starts off with a small trigger, this leads to peeking, then edging, and then ultimately you succumb. The trigger is unavoidable in this day and age. It can come from something as innocent as a womens lingerie ad. But what can be avoided? the next step i.e. peeking. Peeking is an action that we consciously make. So just noticing that you feel how you feel but being lazy about it and not taking action makes all the difference in the world. The only place where laziness is finally a friend.
It's also important to remember that semen retention is not just about preservation of our life force but something more fundamental i.e. the discipline of not looking at any random woman with sexual intentions without her permission. Some may argue that platforms like OnlyFans or pornography involve consent and therefore aren’t wrong. I would call this an excuse or at best, a justification. To be a man is to strive for control over one’s mind, body, and soul. Ignore the claim that “we are men, that’s just what we do,” because that isn’t a reflection of intentional living it’s often just a way to justify actions that go against one’s own discipline and values.
Try harnessing the true power and gift given to man in the form of semen, the central life force. This is energy that can be absorbed from within and be channeled into meaningful and great pursuits in the world. But if the fundamental thought process does not shift toward something positive, then that same energy is simply being directed toward negative outcomes. I would also say it's in a way weaponizing something which is inherently good. More often than not, this path leads to heartbreak, suffering, and dissatisfaction.
Try this, don't act on the urge. It will pass and believe me, after the 3-4 month mark you won't feel like the same person anymore. You'll find yourself genuinely respecting women, holding platonic friendships, and having conversations completely free of any ulterior motive. Life feels brighter, better, you are not just happy anymore, the only word I can come up with is to call this state of being as "blissful", only the real ones will know what I'm talking about because words alone are not enough to describe it.
Use this energy with intention, reserve it for when you truly wish to create life. Honor it for the purpose it was meant to serve. We're all navigating this journey together, supporting one another along the way. Stay mindful, stay strong, and good luck to all of you. ✨
