'when the student is ready, the teacher appears'. Seems like you were ready to reach the next step in your personal evolution and semen retention was the teacher you most needed. I love how there are so many different paths to reach places deeper within.
I'll reach nine months in a few days. The inner peace is priceless. My ego needs no validation and I don't care what people think of me. It's like zen and the art of SR. The thought of watching corn seems ridiculous to me.
wow, that's inspiring. i got into "sr" because of you, it's literally the best thing ever. i'm a college student, it helps so much when it comes to energy levels. atp even when i reach the goal i feel like i have no desire to break the streak.
Wow Koen, awesome vid. I almost 50 days of SR/nofap today and am recording vids to keep me on track. Thanks for the dose of motivation and truth. You are a legend! Subscribed.
I reached one month yesterday 🎊congrats for one year completion , semen retention benefits are completely personal experience and have results where we divert our energies
@@kylebrady3651 That urge just fades away the more you hold. If you bust then you ve lost. Just keep your mind strong with meditation and cold water shower. Stay strong 💪
@lakeboy1908 As you said look at nature. Animal have a period of mating apart from that period most of animals are not stuck with lust in their head. That's not the case with human beings these days. Everyone are addicted to sex and lustful thoughts in one way or other. Evolution is not just about procreation but also evolving spiritually. With having lust in our head it's really difficult to evolve spiritually. But once you manage to remove that SR is a cakewalk. This can lead you to different levels of realisations. I practice an millenniums old ancient Indian metaphysical meditation technique in which celebacy is the key 🗝️
@lakeboy1908 @lakeboy1908 There are cheat codes in life... By practicing high levels of metaphysical meditation you can improve and help rewire overall brain function and experience everything life offers you from a different dimension. Now that's the difference between existing and evolving... When you exist you have to go through the difficulties with much more pain and suffering. But once you practice spirituality, semen retention and other high level of practice you don't suffer with difficulty, instead you ll learn to let go and recover within few days. For example a death of a beloved person can take you to extreme levels of trauma when you are just existing. But on the other hand an evolved soul will recover even from that within days or weeks. Further more you develop insane levels of will power and focus. This leads to enhanced functioning of brain. This can help you improving your financial stability, mental well being and and health... The happiness you get from drinks, sex and other instant gratification can never come close to pleasure of living on a higher level. I am not just speaking philosophy but these are from my own experience.
@lakeboy1908 There are no cheat codes but there are several methods by which you can enhance yourself. By doing this you can experience life from a different dimension. That's the difference between existing and evolving. When you are just merely existing you face the difficult situations in life with much more pain and suffering than an evolved person. For example when we face death of a most beloved person that can take us to extream level of traumas. But an evolved person will recover from these situations within days. Above all your will power and focus is improved by a huge margin. This enable you to improve your financial status, emotional well-being and health. I am not just speaking philosophy but these are my experience. The s*x, drinks and other instant gratification will never even come close to the pleasure of living a succesful and confident life with insane will power... But the problem is that for all these to happen you have to be a strong person from within. No point holding the semen for even a year with all lustful thoughts in head.😊
Massive thank you, Koen for your videos and sharing your journey. Through your channel, I was able to get to 90 days for the first time ever recently before 'relapsing' and yes, I did feel like cr*p afterwards for a couple of days. Plus I wasn't eating healthily enough, so I probably wasn't getting the full benefits anyway. I'm now back in the saddle and this time not putting SR on a pedestal - simply one part of a healthy lifestyle. I appreciate you for being such a positive, inspiring voice on YT 🙏
I actually think we do deserve a trophy if you pull off a crazy stunt like this! Congratulations, man. In 2024? It's just impressive. I would tip my hat if I was wearing one, etc.
only been 9 days for me but that is a lot for someone who used to do it multiple times on a daily basis, feel so good and my mind feels so cleansed compared to before
The longer i go and the older i get the less lust i actually seek or give into and the more of a deep genuine connection i seem to look for. The shift from someone who is a slave to lust to someone who wants something real is really powerful.
@@apollonaggelos9449 As someone who hit 100 days twice last year, the first 30 days are the hardest. Form me, days 30-100 are pretty smooth. The lust is no longer an issue, it's the dull flat-lines that trigger relapses.
a lot of these nofap RU-vidrs are repetitive and just seems like they’re trying to sell something type of vibe but this is raw and real . I can connect with this deeply . Thank you 🙏
Best vid I watched regarding this matter. Even better than ones with 100k-Million views! What’s makes it best is that I felt how true your words are even tho I haven’t experienced them on my own. You’re just so true and genuine and you made a lot of sense about this. Thank you! This jumpstarts my journey and made me just focus on what’s really important.
Excellent vid, i could tell this guy was telling the truth all along. I just had sex for the first time 60 days into my SR journey( furthest ive been). I went for about 3 hours and controlled myself and kept it in. This girl keeps msging and wants more. This shit is powerful. I picked this girl up from a club and didnt even finish my first drink before we left. I knew i was going to pick up easily before i even got there. Once you pass flatlines then boy does attraction really work Thankyou Brother for putting out so much info. My life has never been better. I can now have sex and have full control over my body
I stopped edging at the end of October, last emptied on August 12th. So far I have noticed that as I do my inner work, which I'm really into, I really am changing. Old issues have been triggered, and I have been able to address them more effectively. I sleep abit less too. I just had a sexual fantasy and a part of me was temptied to edge and maybe watch some porn, but no, Deep breathing, focus on my body and I am ok again. You are absolutely right about the attachment thing, I need to look at that! On the other hand I thought I'd mention my experience during the time I have been on it for others. Congratulations on you 365 days!
Incredibly honest video - came in expecting the same gimmicky "super-power" stuff. Thanks a lot for making this - this has definitely Boosted my commitment to SR and recovery from Lust. Had gone 87 days in the past - counting days was/is a massive mistake. Subscribed to you Koen! Looking forward to learning and being inspired more from you(r insights)
Here is my experience in this journey, just so you know, it took me 62 days to completely be free from this, but those days where literal hell, i have done the ultra hard mode, here is the things I have done maybe it will help someone: 1. No phone or any screen entertaimment at all. 2. One meal a day only and it was around 1 pm, with the meal eat some prunes to get rid of constipation and eat pumpin seeds to relaxe your body, also fasting is the key to lower the lust and deactivating the s organs. 3. No spicy food, no sugar at all 4. Exercise 2 or 3 times a day till you exert all your energy. 5. No more than 2 hours a day sitting( when you sit for too long it activates the testicles by flowing blood into them) 6. Keep your mind sharp by exerting mental energy( this is a crusical step, if you dont do it the thoughts will creep up), I was deep thinking in my studies at least 8 hours a day. 7. No more sleep than 6 hours(trust me on this you don't need more) after six hours your body starts building up more energy and most likely its going to your s organs. 8. I was meditating while laying on my back to lower the pressure on the prostate. Keep doing all of this until your enlarged testicel shrinks to its original size and all the blood comes out of it, if it doesnt its not worth it, cuz you will still have wet dreams or night emissions in the future regardless of what you do, its like getting only 10% of the benefits, and those who reach a year or more on SR and still have wet dreams are doing it all wrong. So what to expect aftet all of this? Finaly being free, I can do what I want, eat what I want, no more putting energy into this, my mind is so clear all the time that it doesnt get tired at all even after a full day of video games and yt, no more stress at all no more anxiety, no evil thoughts anymore, experience real purity and really enjoy life, lets not talk about attraction cuz there is no words to descripe it I will let you guys experience it and see. Good luck to you all, and remember, the is discipline.
Also I noticed the white of our eyes are really white. I've been practicing for 2 years this is one of my longest streaks. 4 months. Definitely have learnt how addictive and destructive edging is! I do not touch myself anymore.
Well said!!! Strange how we all experience the same things in this life… we are just energy trapped in random bodies with random experiences but beyond that there is absolutely nothing just energy
One of my biggest issues with breaking my streaks was the discomfort of awakening. Emotions that resurface can be discomforting sometimes. I’m learning to accept the feeling and just the trip happen no matter where I go because whatever the direction is I know it’s light at the end of that tunnel
After one year 5months my life really changed, especially after i stopped smoking weed and drinking and added work out routines,i have energy makes me feel like im high all the time, increased creativity, unmatched confidence,no anxiety,more drive to pursue my dreams,so many benefits guys keep retaining, meditation is key as well aiming for to years
I don’t understand where I’m going wrong or if I’m even going wrong at all. I feel the benefits, but day 14-17 just feels a natural time for me to release 🤷♂️ It’s almost like I get insomnia. Can anyone else relate to this?
Im at just 3months, i originally started for different reasons, i think ill eventuality start doing 40 day intervals for the most part. I dont see a huge reason to never nut again in my life i mean it does drain energy but you can recharge with the discipline you have learned. But to each thier own and enjoy the rewards!
i finished reading the bringer of dawn and she says that the spirit guides want you to be free from your addiction for 6 months. or after 6 months it means you are serious and it takes 6 months to change and get rid of your old self. of course it doesnt mean 6 months for everyone. and it always doesnt mean you can relapse , it means 6 months you are serious and have the ability to control yourself so the next 6 years, yes 6 YEARS , can you stay consistent and quit your addiction for 6 to 66 years then your life will change. but your wants have to be stronger than your temporary desires, for me i want to achieve enlightenment and see the 5D and experience the other side of the spirit world and not this 3D world before my rebirth
putting too much attention to counting days is what makes people to relapse (high expectations), focus should be on improving the part of the brain responsible for self-discipline, one urge at a time
Congrats Man! When I did hit 30+ day, Ex came, i was like a bull ... But! Other day i was drained, like a zombie. :D Facing the Ego is much easier with SR. Also, low vibs are like poisoned cookies.
True manly confidence comes from being able to control our animal impulses and instincts with thought alone. That's true power. That's why even other males recognize that there's something extraordinary about when they encounter you. I've even noticed other men more than usual hold doors open for me. I mean, I do that too as a demonstration of courtesy, but I'm noticing more and more that men are holding doors open for me.
Hi koen! Im happy to say thanks to your videos i ve reached 3 months of SR ..i see it now easy now..i dont have to do any efforts now! I feel the connexion with God!!

My 26-day streak came to an end last night with an almighty nocturnal emission - I woke up to find my life force was all over the place but I’m still going to persist. The benefits of SR are real and I’m determined to make it to Day 30. - Clear skin - Eye contact - Mental focus - Self esteem - Stable mood - Confidence The only benefit I haven’t experienced yet is increased energy.
Koen, I’m 22. Been knowing about this power of retention since 18 and been on 1 month streaks as well. I still haven’t been able to master this energy. Please guide me. I feel very down.
Read somewhere that Zinc supplements significantly increase the semen volume/testosterone. Im actually wondering if ‘Zinc’ can speed up or increase the effects of semen retention. Any thoughts about this theory?
I take a lot of vitamins and minerals, eat very clean, exercise meditate. I also take testosterone, my levels are 1500ng/dl. I also take HCG with keeps my balls big and producing a lot of semen, more than I did naturally it seems. I am currently on a few months of not busting a nut, sure I look and feel a bit better but it’s nothing crazy.
@@Remember-DeathYes i will :) Was just looking for a or some confirmations😊 My only concern is the high testosterone boost. Which means that the sexual urges will probably skyrocket as well. Almost 4 months in but its still hard to resist the urges @some days.
It does help but it also increases the urges. Recommend doing this when you start to control the urges on your base level so to speak. Else it will probably consume you. Make sure to take them after breakfast to minimize the chance on wet dreams.
Exercise and meditation/deep breathing should do the trick. Exercise should wear your body out, deep breathing (long exhale) should put your brain in a low/sleepy state.
Why do people always take a light picture on semen retention and a dark pic off retention? It should be the same light. Preferably in a closed room with exactly the same light.
At one point during your SR journey, did you ever feel so much energy and awareness that you had anxiety attacks? I started feeling that way about 90+ days in, which would last a few moments here and there. But I eventually got over them and haven't had them anymore. Overall now I feel amazing being on SR
god bless you sir the stuff you shared is really inspiring also if you wish to go deeper into spirituality try doing the rajayoga meditation course at the nearest Brahma Kumaris Center near your locality Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University is a Godly University working with the soul purpose of bringing every human near to god saying from personal experience stay blessed sir
I'm 3 weeks into my SR journey. I notice some changes, such as a slightly deeper voice and a little more strength, but I'm wondering when these darn headaches go away! Not sleeping as well as before either.
