Life is not all about sex or women
Life is so much bigger than sex, women, or fleeting pleasures like porn and masturbation. These things might
take up a fraction of life maybe not even 1% yet so many are consumed by them.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a 20-year-old virgin, a 23-year-old who’s never had a relationship, or someone
who’s wasted years chasing temporary highs. None of that defines you. None of it determines your worth or
your potential.
Ask yourself this: What were your last 500 faps about? Your last dopamine rush from porn? What did it give
you? The answer is probably nothing of value just a sense of regret and emptiness. And that’s because life
isn’t about those things.
Meanwhile, as some sit here thinking about sex, lust, and distractions, others are growing. They’re building
their bodies, minds, careers, and futures. They’re working on themselves while some are stuck in a cycle of
momentary pleasures that lead nowhere.
Life is about possibilities, growth, purpose, and experiencing the beauty of love not just romantic love, but
love for yourself, your journey, and the world around you. There’s so much to discover, to create, and to
become.
We live in a society drowning in lust, where instant gratification is glorified. But the truth is, you don’t need
porn, masturbation, or even immediate physical relationships to lead a fulfilling life. You don’t need to “prove”
anything to anyone.
Choose self-control. Choose to retain your energy. Choose to shift your focus to things that truly matter.
While others stay distracted, you can rise above. Life is waiting for you, but only if you stop living for
momentary pleasures and start living for your purpose.
Let’s rise above the noise.

agree, prior
to main to pmo and sex I was so happy and filled with life. Everything seemed exciting and brand
content
I would have good friendships with women and even kissing a woman felt amazing.CreateAfter sex and
pmo my mind was destroyed. I felt depressed constantly and nothing brought me joy. Since going on this
journey my mind has been rewired and healed so now I can feel joy for the little things in life. Dopamine is
very large part of our lives and unfortunately when you engage in pmo the rest of your life seems boring
because pmo fried your dopamine receptors.

Yes, unfortunately it's a tough lesson and/or pill to swallow for many. I look back at all my encounters with
lust; PMO, casual sex, etc. All of them, and I mean all of these encounters were there to knock me off my
true purpose and goals in life. Short term 'satisfaction', but long-term pain and unfulfillment, when this is
all indulged in excessively or regularly. All of the time spent is wasted and lost, and you get none of it
back, which is painful. But, I don't dwell on it now, I move ahead and get stronger each day instead.
It's incredible how your mind, body and soul will heal and rejuvenate with SR and fleeing from sexual
stimulation. It's almost like becoming a child again. I say go as far as not looking for or at any type of
temptation or stimulation. Easier said than done, but every stimuli you come across sends some level of
dopamine to the sexual parts of your brain, even if you don't actually indulge in it. It all adds up, pic after
pic, video after video. By the time you scroll through social media, you can literally see 100s if not 1000s
of sexual options. This is simply not healthy or normal in any other point in human history (unless you
were literally King Solomon).
When you start stimulating yourself with other things in life, suddenly they all become more fulfilling and
enjoyable. Even the most simple things will light up your days, and you'll sleep better and look forward to
the days ahead knowing you didn't do what the 99% (maybe more) are doing on a regular basis.
So the bottom line is, I'm not against sex or releasing at some point. But it should have a purpose for you,
beyond just meaningless pursuits and empty promises. You'll get way more out of both life and your
enjoyment with it in the long run.

I'mcontent
Skip to main 32 now, been practicing on and off since my 20s. Prior to my 20s I never really had a PMO
issue like most people seem to, but I had a lot of casual encounters up untilCreate
my early 20s as I was
quite religious as a child, but then fell away from it for a time. I had a PMO problem for a couple
years, but managed to break away from it eventually. I don't really track the days or records, but
I'd say for sure I've gone several months a few times and at least a year or more before, but this is
before I even thought of it as "SR" in the context that is talked about on here. I practice it most in
the Fall & Winter times mainly now.
People are on YT are generally wrong about a lot of stuff. You have to make up your own decision
and not get influenced by anything on there too heavily. Even with SR, I think it's possible to go
'extreme' with it, but in my experience it has far more upsides in many areas of life, compared to
PMO or other outlets. Also, assuming you have your life in order, casual sex becomes far more
risky as you get older, depending on the context of it all.
To me the way to look at it is you're simply taking control back of your life and being more in
control of your desires as a man. It's just a lot more satisfying to me when you have a purpose
behind everything you do in life, and you can transmute the sexual energy in a more meaningful
way. If it doesn't work for you, then you don't necessarily have to stick with it. But, I think it's
worth giving it a serious try before giving up on it.

Life is about passion and spirit. It’s not about fucking and balls and pussy. It’s about love. It’s about
people. It's about connections. It's not about cocks, and ass, and tits. And butthole pleasures. It's not
about the rusty trombones, or the dirty sanchez, or the cincinatti bow tie, or a pussy juice cocktail, and
the shit stained balls.

Amen to that. It's possible to turn from sin such as masturbation and pursue all things that are godly and
worthwhile for us, through our Lord Jesus who strengthens us. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with you always.

Start over. Enjoy the journey back
I'm like 14 days in and retention land is definitely real. Last time I lost it was the first time I had sex in
a whinr (an old booty call thing, from a couple years ago, that we had going on for couple years...
she's 20 years my senior. Lol.)
To be fair the day after that happened I went out to a bar and no one could deny that I'm awesome
(even though I was like day 1...) but I feel like I have nothing to lose by retaining. You can't judge me.

Not really. That is pretty much everything there is. And of course eating other living beings... but that's it.
