Why I quit semen retention after 400 days and began to relapse daily... 

Note: as I said later in the video, Semen retention is not for everybody. There can be many reasons why one won’t want to do seed retention. I’m only talking to the guys in this video who truly believe it’s holding them back from living their best life, Replying to comments later today ❤️

This is why this man is the GOAT of self improvement content. He's not like other youtubers that lie about their lives and promote unattainable perfection. He keeps it real.

Jak, I'm 45 days on SR today and I finally got a real superpower. I'm smashing the gym, feeling superhuman and recording videos every day! You've always been a lifeline of motivation for me. Thx!

I honestly feel like 'relapsing' is not the problem. It's the adult content that causes all the issues, at least for me. Great video Jak 💯

Guys don't comment "first" just listen to his video nobody cares that you were first time comment 💀

Dude I want to thank you for opening my eyes in this more less stressful and more peaceful form of self-improvement

when you get older, you would probably be one of the wisest men in your country bro... You already speak like you have experienced a lot in life!

Not too long ago he was talking about how good he felt on semen retention. I think the fact that he cares so much about keeping it in everyday to the point of knowing how many days he’s on is what caused him so much stress. I went half a year on semen retention and felt amazing, but then I started to relapse again. At first, it felt good just like he said but that was only because of the extra dopamine in your system to at you’re not used to. You eventually get used to that amount of dopamine and feel like shit again. He fell back into addiction, that’s why he did it for seven days straight. It feels good now, but will feel bad later. It’s not worth it boys, he’s human too. Stay hard.

You treuly changed my life. I want to thank you for this. Please continue with this content and dont change this natural way of speaking to us❤️

It’s not about the semen retention. It’s about the dopamine. Watching corn and constant masturbation just BOMBARDS the brain with dopamine as much as cocaine. All that dopamine makes your brain desensitize the dopamine receptors. When the receptors are desensitized, normal things like talking with a friend or going outside or anything normal doesn’t give you enough dopamine to make the receptors feel something. Only porn and masturbation does. When you quit it. You feel horrible and have urges because your receptors are still desensitized but they aren’t getting the dopamine anymore so you feel stressed and anxiety hits EVEN STRONGER than before. But eventually when you don’t relapse. The mind starts fixing the receptors and makes them sensitive again so normal things give you dopamine. It takes an average of 56 days to do that. Sex is not the same. Porn and masturbation give 2-10 times the dopamine as sex. Sex stands for sacred energy xchange. Also, low dopamine levels cause low testosterone and therefore cause social anxiety. There are plenty of people who says they got free from social anxiety after quitting porn and masturbation forever. It’s a shameful act and does nothing but destroy your life. Quit it now and never look back. You will never be happy with it in your life. It will be really hard at first but overtime you will see how amazing you feel. Go to google and search “nofap social anxiety” you will find all the info.

Men, is not sound advice. Pleasure has been and will always be the destruction of men. Stay strong boys and seek wisdom

You have changed my life after telling me that I had a 1/400 trillion chance to be alive. Made me feel so much better and let me embrace the lows and appreciate the highs

About 2 weeks in because of you, Jak, and im feeling pretty fucking great! Thank you so much man. And to anyone still struggling through, just know we're all here for you. YOU GOT THIS!!!

You have inspired me to tell my dad about my p addiction thank you i had been holding it in for months trying to get over the addiction by myself but you gave me the courage to tell my dad thank you so much ❤️I’ve been feeling better since then thank you 🙏

This man has singlehandedly changed the course of my life and for that im truly grateful for you. Im glad i have discovered your channel and ever since then ive been non stop watching your videos every time u upload. Keep goin on brother, and may your videos inspire the next generation to become a better person in their lives and in their friends and families aswell, peace

Life improved so much after Jesus freed me from porn addiction. I drew so much closer to God and I matured so much more

I think this is the best video you have made in my opinion. Really hit me when you spoke about life being better on the other side.

Bro ended his edging streak

brothers in Christ, you know that you feel terrible after relapsing, so keep going and don't let yourself get knocked off your grind.

Jak, I just relapsed after however many weeks from semen retention. I haven't watched porn for almost a year but I've still been pushing to retain my seed. I feel like in the months I've retained it I've felt best, and this relapse made me feel so bad even tho I know, from watching your videos, that one relapse can be overcome. Jak, you HAVE changed my life bro. I quit porn before I found you but you're one of the reasons that at 15 years old I decided I was gonna retain my seed and tbh I wanna retain it for years if possible. I relapsed today, and that along with this video will fuel my desire to stop. I'm doing this for myself but also for you Jak ✊ thx bro

nah man seriously jak is changing my life, i am getting that positive thinking from jak brother, i have the same experience jak ngl, i just dont wanna go to that shit again, it was terrible, at some pointt we all know what it feels like, keep helping jak you gonna reach to new heights man,

Ay bro, i just want to say thank you for helping me improve ny life. You're helping teenagers improve themselves and you're helping them get better

Unlike a lot of other content creators, you keep it real. You don't play up some facade making you look superhuman, you expose your vulnerabilities. I greatly respect you for that. I am 16 years old, and I don't participate in SR, but I greatly moderate myself. Once a week, no corn, nothing. I am working to get a job so that I will have the extra gas money to start working at the gym at my nearest air force base because its free (I am a dependent so I have a base ID). Today marks the beginning of my self-improvement journey, thanks to you. Keep doing what you do best brother. ♥

Thank you bro, You have brought me back the enthusiasm that I have been missing for a while, May God protect you

Thanks Jak, I've came 3 times to this video already!

Jak, I love your authenticity and honesty, it feels like someone actually understands me, thank you for your content man, much love.

That last part hit close to home Jak. I won’t let you down brother. Thank you.

You are helping us all the time and no we need to show you that we support you and we want you to stay strong. It's a challenge we know that Jack but we can do it together🤝 ❤💪

SR is the way to grow closer to your Creator. Don't relapse ! It's the enemy putting thoughts of doubt in your head. Once you get over 2 years streak there is no going back. Everyday you grow closer to The One and spiritual warfare gets intenser, but we must stay strong !

Love this guy decided a few days ago I was done with all that stuff these videos are great reminders to keep going strong

On semen retention, I notice it takes 3 days to start seeing more energy and more focus. Its amazing. P*rn addiction is awful and so is fapping. You're right. It really is better on the other side. I suffered with p*rn and fapping addiction for decades until I started doing meditation. I hope men will empower themselves and take your advice. You're telling the truth! Thank you bro!!

I just started SR because of you, I’m now 8 days in and actually doing my homework, hitting the gym I thank you for convincing me to do this and I have on plan to stop.

I’ve been retaining for awhile, but lately fallen into the lust with women. Currently rising out of it to overcome loneliness and cravings that come after months pass the right way. This is inspiring because you mention the superficial reasons why some retain, such as women, money, affection, benefits, etc. But I’m hearing you say its much deeper than that. It’s being truly happy with who you are in your life and in your skin. I’m gonna get there. Thanks bro.

“Every sin that a man commits is outside of the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body” 1 Corinthians 6:18

The way i've started my journey of removing lust is faith. remembering God and Jesus every time I'm feeling down or struggling, helps in wonders. Its not a path for everyone but its worth of try✝♥

I'm currently suffering with a corn addiction, but what ive seen help the best is turning to Christ. He helps push you through those hard moments and addictions and even though im still struggling i know he has a good plan for me. Stay strong bothers and sisters.❤

Semen retention can be a tool for some , some truly don’t need it. It gives physical edge I feel and mental boost and there’s levels to it

This is why jak is the best self improvement youtuber he is honest.

I needed that reminder bro. I’ve been thankfully porn free for a while now and also on semen retention. This really helped me remember how great it is. Thank you for the help on this journey

Really appreciate that you're honest with us, make us feel like we can connect more to you ❤

As they say too much of anything is bad, constant dopamine causes addiction, and addiction takes energy and focus, discipline in some cases. Live in the moment, don't regret the past, don't be worried for the future.

The key is to avoid both extremes: not to do it 3 times a day and become a slave to it, thereby weakening your mental and physical control. On the other hand, you shouldn't never stop doing completely. It's a healthy and a natural and pleasurable release of tension, especially if you do it without watching porn. To stop completely, you become a slave to it on the other end. Long-term semen retention causes just as much stress and guilt because you become addicted to not doing it. I think this whole SR fad is good to some extent, especially if it means breaking porn addiction, but it's hurting young people to make them feel guilty for a natural practice that they should not feel guilty about.

For as far back as i can remember, i bust once or sometimes twice a week. Moderation is key. It. Feels great...no tension.no shame.no regrets.no stress.

The tension is needed to conquer difficult goals. We're biologically programed to become content after releasing seed. Your earthly duties are accomplished are now it's ok to die. That's what you're doing to your brain when you relapse. If you're accomplished in life or don't have an high ambition to achieve difficult goals, then why not relapse? But, if you keep this intense energy and transmute it into what the hindu's call "Ojas" you become extremely powerful! use this energy to become great! don't be mediocre like most people. S.R is rewarding beyond words! Stay strong my brothers! Good luck.

its ok bro its natural it shouldn't be a streak it just should be personal choice , your still the same person , at the end of the day your still jak piggot , one of the most amazing guys on youtube

Here’s the truth about semen retention. You don’t relapse and justify why you decide to end your semen retention streak, just because you felt good after stroking the feathers for a few days. When you do semen retention it’s for life. No more corn and chicken. Those on/off days you felt is just short term pleasure. I’m doing semen retention for life and I no longer have days where I’m good on one day and bad the other. It’s consistently good. I hope this message reaches out to all those who are struggling with semen retention. Tell yourself you don’t watch corn and don’t stroke the feathers. We men have to be disciplined and that is for life.

Being on NoFap/Semen retention is like riding a mechanical bull of success. It’s great and beneficial but relapse is inevitable. I honestly feel way better about myself on NoFap but you have to transmute the energy or you’ll do something you’ll regret. Working out, cold showers and meditation are great, but honestly in my opinion the best strategy is have creative hobbies like drawing or learning a musical instrument. Sexual energy is creative life force energy.

Yo, fellow australian here. Im 14 years of age currently, and only have i now really woken up to focus getting my life on track. You have helped me so much shape my life as it is meant to be, and i just give you the warmest support from the bottom of my heart.

Hey Jak, I just wanted to say that I'm really struggling on this journey and this really helps.

this video has inspired me, i'm on day 1 of sr, and whenever i think of breaking it, i will come back to this video

Jak, you are a good man I saw on RU-vid. I personally take advice from your videos for myself (sometimes it's hard for me to grasp things at once because of the language)... Anyway, your advice motivates my life in a positive direction when my mind temps to the negative side.

Thanks Jak, I've been struggling with corn, i started about a month ago no fap, I relapsed after day 8 or 9, since then its been like before and you made me realize that this life is not the one I want, please people, do not just listen to his speech, feel it, at the bottom of your soul. thanks Jak

Gotta say Jak, this video is going to inspire so many people man. I must complement how you good are at really touching peoples hearts. You saved my life from misery and you're gonna save so many many others too. Much love Jak ❤❤

For all the bros out there that are still struggling, eat a lot of spinach every day(or take quality magnesium supplements) this will make your mind so much calmer and no urges anymore

I’m currently on 14 days of SR and I’m feeling heaps better from two weeks ago! You have inspired me to stop!

Releasing with your hand was never a natural thing. Releasing makes you less stressed but it doesn't mean you should do it. Stay hard brothas 💪💪

Only God can help you overcome your addictions. This is a spiritual fight. You are fighting against fallen angels, who are much stronger than you. But God is stronger than them. With His help you can overcome the demonic slavery of impurity. Pray everyday for His help.

Everything is good in moderation. The tension is not good for you, but the addiction is worse. If you can't moderate yourself, SR is the better option.

It’s all about balance. It’s physically bad for you to retain for a long period of time, and actually leads to things like prostate cancer later in life. You produce new seed constantly, it doesn’t stop. It’s like filling up a balloon with water that does’t ever stop. The trick you need to find is how to balance between staying healthy physically, and staying healthy mentally.

This guy is so pure he aint even asking for us to sub or like

Does anyone else get OCD that the day they have to quit forever has to line up with the start of everything. Like Start SR and 100 pushups a day at the same time. You have to start at the beginning of a month, year, or week.

I thank God for you Jak. Thank you for being the man you are and for the message that you spread.

I appreciate you so much Jak. God bless you

Glad I found your channel bro. I'm starting right now, 0:00 am in the night, April 11, 2024. Mark my words. Bleesings from Mexico for you.

That's right you are inspiration Jak 💪

One key thing to do while semen retention is to not to count days, rather to just forgot that it exists and meditating daily. It has helped my a lot in my journey of semen retention, and i feel amazing

Thank you for everything Jak❤

you know, I've finally broken free of yk and I'm glad to see that you can pick yourself up so well after a week of relapsing. I can confidently say that I am more coordinated, stronger and just overall more energised, thank you

You guide me thru hard times Jak!

I've recently started self improvement and I am on day 22 rn. When I opened this video, I wasn't motivated and i was just feeling stressed. Listening to people my age talking about things I want to achieve definitely hit (I'm almost17 btw). Thanks for inspiring people. You have my respect.

On my experience, the first day of trying to quit was Pain. Second day, I recommend you do what you love, and you'll forget about semen shit. And repeat. That's how I got over mine.

i used to be a team member on your discord before it was nuked. couldn't agree more with your points. self-improvement goat

Thank you brother, you really helped me a lot about quitting mainly my semen releasing addiction. In the last 3 months, I have tried it but failed many times, including the last fail being 20 days of retention. At the moment, my current days are 22 apparently, but sometimes even I forget to count them and that's a good thing, because I am less stressed overall. I can confirm that if you try again after you fail, it's much easier bro. And not just semen retention, in every sport/skill you learn or addiction you quit, it's much easier the second time, than the first if it makes sense

No glaze, you are actually changing my life and you have inspired me so much. You have my thanks and I will keep going on my SR journey. 🙏

It honestly feels so good when people in the comment sections unite together just to get rid of a particular thing, boys its been two years for me and i haven't relapsed yet , if you feel like doing it then just go through the guilt that you usually feel after relapsing or say that "god is watching me doing it" or just stay still and start to focus on your breathing until you calm that lil guy down. There are a lot of ways to prevent relapsing if only you want to , thanks jak 😤🙌

This is the best advice I've ever heard so far on semen retention

your videos helped me a lot

Jak, it's rohan here. Keep making videos like this. It reminds me why I stay on this practice even when I seem to forget just how much it has improved my life. I am currently on day ~115 and holy crap this video reminded me of how it felt to get on this train. Thank you for your wisdom in guiding me to this practice and I hope to one day achieve that 1 year milestone just like you. I may be older than you but in terms of SR you've outshone me. At least now I can say my streak is longer than yours xD Really though, best of luck to you my friend and I hope to see more great videos. Peace

Well, I am not going to lie, I saw that coming. I mean, he literally said "You need to edge until you can't edge anymore.". Mihajlo Bogdanović

This man has changed my life. My perspective on life has changed so much in 5 videos watched

There are 4 chapters of Self-impovement 1. Just starting and enjoying the results 2. The lonly chapter 3. The 1% 4. The best version of you're self Jack is the guy who gonna fight through, the lonly chapter.

Jack you are awesome! I honestly think when we find the right person (lady) then semen retention becomes easier. Until then, we have to be our best Congratz on almost 500 K

One principle is that it is not excessive masturbatio. If you multiply your age by .2. So 18 X .2 is 3.6. So once every 4 days is cool. Just one principle.

Relapsed and ended a streak of probably a little over a week. Felt terrible until this video. It’s holding my back but I know I’ll fix it soon. Thank you brother. Your content has changed my life mentally and physically. Wish you nothing but the best❤

goin through some stuff, thanks for all this bro ❤ ur helpin us all out

hey man i just want to say im on day 9 and i saw this video and genuinely cried... these vids your making has really made me understand porn has ruined my life. Thank you for doing gods work!

First. Also W Video.

I won't let you down brotha. Mark this day is the day i fuckin quit. Thank you so much brotha you really helped me.

Brother. It's impossibile to deny the flesh without rhe Holy Spirit. If you receive Him, you will be able to deny your flesh easily. Believe on what Jesus did for you on the cross and you will be saved

Very good! Liked and subscribed. I’ve been practicing SR on and off for more than ten years now. To me, the best way to approach it is with balance. When it’s time to get off, it’s time to get off. When it’s time to abstain, it’s time to abstain.

i have reached a streak of 22 after 1 year and a half of not getting past day 15. my 2 best streaks were 25( 25 april 2022), 28-30 days (18 october 2022). No way im giving up now. not after a rough 2023 from many aspects.

Thanks for this advice, and the accountability. Thank you, brother!

Some advice, ... a Dr. Mehmet Oz a renown cardiologist and former Senatorial candidate from Pennsylvania said this about the human body. " The body has 4 drives that must be addressed to maintain balance. 1. The body has to eat, 2. The body has to sleep, 3. The body has to breathe, and 4. The body has to have sexual release. Now the first 3 drives are non negotiable. The fourth drive is manageable. So everything in moderation. Also, consider this, that the Prostate has to be cleared from time to time, to avoid potential prostatitis, and also to reduce the chance of Prostate Cancer." Good luck and all the best to you.

Bro, you’ve really changed my life. Instead of putting time into social media I have put it into the gym and school. Thanks Jak.

I will only quit semen retention for the woman i deeply love. There are no other good reasons to do it imo. But 400 days is impressive nonetheless.

side note - great work with the background music! it compliments your video really well. good video bro.

Im done with SR. I dont feel any better after a month. Just gonna do 1 a month from now on. I dont like to suppress my sexual desire

I am 37 years old and I take inspiration from you my Brother!! You are amazing

400 days? I thought you said you haven’t relapsed in 1000+ days?

You have changed my life.
