Are you combining quitting porn with semen retention?

And now you're wondering how to know if retention is working for you?

Well, in this video I'll talk about my experience with how to know when retention has started working.

Let's begin...

How To Know If Retention / Quitting Porn is Working?

Scandinavian Bob here, hi.

Most of the time my videos are focusing more on quitting adult sites, but today I’m going to share a feeling I myself always get when I’m riding on a good retention streak, AND if I also have been living a dopamine healthy lifestyle during that time. 

And that sign is...

Feeling alive...

And so now some of you say, “Yeah thanks a lot, what the hell does that even mean?”

And fair enough, man but talking about feeling is very abstract, and I will explain more, I just wanted to start by making “feeling alive” the overall theme here. Then, under that, I’ll break it down into specific signs and experiences.

And here they are…

• Tingly sensation  (almost electric)
• Increased energy
• Increased focus
• Feels like being high on life.

For me it starts somewhere between the days 14-25....

Yeah,  so it’s a little bit different from cycle to cycle, but whenever I get to somewhere between days 14-25 it can start by me feeling a slight tingly sensation in my body.

This is hard to describe, but it can almost feel sort of eclectic in a way.

It’s like there’s an increased energy in my whole body AND at the same time I’m feeling that there is also an increase in focus and (skratt lite) it feels kind of like, and I know this is going to sound so stupid to many of you, like you’re making love to life.

If that sounds too cringe let’s just call it, being high on life instead. 

The male sexual energy is a powerful force...

But the reason why I first wanted to say making love to life is because there is definitely this masculine sexual energy as one component of it.

You just feel so, alive, and sometimes it even feels like you’re riding on this awesome almost magical energy. And it’s not magical, that’s just a word I use to describe that feeling now.

It’s energy and drive, probably mostly related to your dopamine system, your hormonal system and perhaps your androgen receptors too.

How you are going to use the retention energy is up to you...

And as I have said so many times in my videos before, it is then going to be up to you how you want to use that energy and drive.

But today I just wanted to share how I myself experienced this feeling as a first noticeable sign.  

And the absolute shortest way to sum it up would then be, “Feeling alive”.

Most of the time I personally use this energy for working on my goals, but again your life, your rules. 

Now, if some of you now go, but wait a minute here, you have always said that your last relapse was in December 2019, why are you now talking about different cycles here.

My last porn relapse was in January 2019...

Well that’s because, yes, the last time I watched adult sites was 2019. 

I’m coming from a history of being addicted to adult sites, and my goal has never been to retain for life. From the very start when I first started rebooting my goal was always to get rid of my addiction to adult sites, and that I have done.

Now, it just so happens that I like doing retention too so I think it would be fair to say that most times of the year I am doing some form of retention cycle. Either shorter or longer, because I kind of like the feeling it gives me as I just described.

However, speaking of being addicted to adult sites... 

Retention is pretty useless if you keep watching porn...

Here I have to point out that back when I was addicted and I was relapsing very often, I did not notice these same effects as quickly during my streaks.

And that makes sense if you think about it, because you kind of need to have at least a somewhat well functioning dopamine system in order to be able to feel awesome. 

And if you’re frequently hammering your dopamine system with nasty websites then, it ain't happening.

Withdrawals can override otherwise positive retention experiences...

And on top of, if you’re addicted have just quit, it is also normal to be in withdrawals or a flatline during that period I mentioned --days 14-25 and beyond-- and the negative feelings of withdrawals can be so powerful then that they pretty much override everything else. 

It works the other way around as well...

But everyone of you can get there, and what’s so cool about this is that it works the other way around as well.

Meaning: the longer you’re walking on this journey and the more dopamine healthy you get, by for example meditating, doing physical exercise and implementing different dopamine fasting protocols, the stronger the effects of retention can feel as well.

So that’s something very cool for you to know.

You don't have to do retention in order to have an awesome life...

Now, here I also have to point out that you do not have to do retention in order to feel great in life.

And for many guys it is also fully possible to overcome an addiction to adult sites without cutting out normal, porn free masturbation.

In my videos I have always said, the main thing is that you cut out all that super stimulating online porn and I still stand by that today.

The main thing is to quit the stimulating online porn...

It’s important for me to say this, because even though I know I would grow faster on different social media platforms by being very dogmatic and polarizing, cause that’s what’s working on social media, that’s just not who I am.

And I am not going to sit here and bullshit you guys, so I’ll say it again, "semen retention is not something you have to do in order to have an awesome life."

But hey man, if you think it sound interesting, by all means, give it a try.

I personally like it, and so do many of my subscribers.
