Semen retention is a self-improvement practice that focuses on the building up and harnessing of sexual energy.
It has been growing in popularity, especially over the past year or so, due to things such as rapid results, life-changing benefits, and a supportive, growing community.
Here today, I want to share with you 5 ways semen retention can change your life.
This journey won’t be easy. It will get tough, but these 5 benefits more than make up for it. Now before we get into the benefits, I would like to give a brief explanation of what semen retention is.

What Is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the act of retaining one’s seed; I mean, it’s in the name. Now semen retention is not no fap, although it does carry many of the same principles.
You know, no porn and no masturbation.
The big difference between the 2 self-improvement practices is that on no-fap, you’re allowed to ejaculate if you have sex with a partner, whereas with semen retention, you aren’t allowed to ejaculate under any circumstances.
Now on semen retention, you are still allowed to have sex, and it is actually encouraged that you do, as it will help you build up and supercharge your sexual energy.
Just don’t ejaculate.
Ok, so that’s pretty much the gist of it. Now, why would you do such a thing to yourself? Why would you purposely not allow yourself to ejaculate with your wife or GF?
Well, keep reading as I go over 5 ways semen retention can change your life.
#1: It Builds Discipline
If you lack discipline, structure, or purpose in your life, semen retention can be the perfect place to start.
It’s a simple act that anyone can start doing right now!
There are no barriers to entry and tons of rewards for sticking with it. Now, this is one of those things that is easy to learn but extremely hard to master.
You will have to be mentally strong to do this long-term.
However, the process becomes much more manageable once you get into a groove and get through the first week or 2.
The discipline that you build on semen retention can be used in any other aspect of life, whether it be the gym, school, business, or a creative endeavour.
Now discipline is a great thing to have, but these next 4 benefits of not ejaculating are what really give you that extra juice while on semen retention.
#2: It Increases Your Energy
If you suffer from low energy, fatigue, or lethargy, I suggest that you give semen retention a try.
You see, whenever you ejaculate, your body releases this hormone called prolactin. Prolactin is basically what puts you into zombie mode after you have sex or masturbate.
It does this to stop you from being able to have an infinite amount of sex as if you didn’t have a refractory period after every time you ejaculate; what’s to stop you from going on all-day sex marathons?
Once you hop on semen retention and stop your out spill completely, you will notice that your energy levels become higher and much more stable.
Now, sometimes, especially during the wee hours of the night, you may notice that your levels are actually too high.
This sense of overwhelming energy is the sexual energy that you are no longer releasing, and it WANTS OUT!
Now on no-fap, this is as easy as calling up old faithful for a booty call, but on semen retention, you’re going to have to get a bit more lucrative.
You will need to use what we call sexual transmutation to take advantage of this newfound energy.
Once you start sexually transmuting your energy, that is when the fun begins, as you will have an almost endless supply of fuel that can be used for whatever the hell you want.
#3: It Increases Your Testosterone
Yes, semen retention does indeed increase your testosterone.
This is actually one of the earliest changes to happen on the semen retention timeline. So for you knew comers, all you have to do is go 7 days without ejaculating, and you’ll be able to experience this benefit.
If you’re unfamiliar with the benefits of higher testosterone, here’s a quick list to catch you up to speed.
Benefits of higher testosterone:
- Easier muscle and strength gains
- Higher energy levels
- Better mood
- More motivation and drive
- Increased levels of focus and concentration
- Higher sex drive
Yeah, so basically, the more testosterone, the better.
Now it is a well-known fact that on exactly the 7th day of your semen retention journey, you will experience a 145.7% in testosterone!
That’s pretty crazy.
However, after the 7th day, your levels will come back down, but they will remain in a heightened state, as their new baseline will be higher than before, which makes this a worthwhile benefit to strive for.
#4: You’ll Have A Much Better Sex Life
Now, this may sound like a contradiction.
How can not allowing myself to ejaculate better my sex life? Well, you will perform much better, you will never deal with ED, and you will always be ready to get it on.
Once you learn to control your body’s ejaculation, you will be an absolute animal in the bedroom.
Any girl that you take home will have her mind (and back) blown by your abilities in the sheets. Your boners will be so strong that you feel like your dick is made out of metal.
Trust me, after a week, you feel like you were injected with 5000 mg of viagra.
Now this increased libido can act as a double-edged sword as it makes the hard challenge of not ejaculating even harder(pun intended), but if you can learn to control it, it’s nothing but a pro in my eyes.
#5: It Resets Your Brain
Semen retention, just like no fap, is a practice that is meant to help heal the effects of PMO addiction.
PMO (porn, masturbation, orgasm) damages the dopamine receptors in your brain by heavily overstimulating them, which can lead to things such as:
- Low energy
- Lack of motivation and drive
- Depression
- ED
- Low testosterone
Basically a bunch of negative crap that will do nothing but hold you back in life.
Now semen retention is one of the fastest ways to reset your brain and heal it from the damaging effects of PMO. But to get to this healed state, you must endure the dreaded flat line.
Now I won’t go into too much detail as this article is already a little on the long side, but essentially the flat line is the period in which your brain is healing from its damaged state.
This healing process can take upwards of a week, usually 10-12 days, sometimes 14.
Now the flatline will suck; you’ll feel like crap, have low energy, and have no sex drive. However, if you can stick it out and push through (like you should), you will be rewarded with resensitized dopamine receptors.
These resensitized dopamine receptors will result in the following:
- Increased happiness and well being
- More motivation and drive
- Higher levels of focus and concentration
- Better energy
- Higher testosterone
- Insane sex drive
A bunch of good stuff.
This is the most worthwhile benefit and makes this whole journey so worth it, in my opinion.

I hope this article has inspired you to give semen retention a try, as I believe it is a very worthwhile experience every man should experience at least once in their life.
